They're nothing special - if the price was bumped up to mid-range you wouldn't be buying them - but as the cheapest budget headset they're *outstanding*. The drivers aren't very powerful, but they get the job done and aren't too tinny or rattling; You probably don't want the volume cranked to the max most of the time, but there's a dial on the left earcup if you want to unsuccessfully try to hear something in the room. They are not noise canceling, but they are very heavily padded and the shape of the "elastic headband" prevents that you move them away from your ears so they block/muffle ambient noise. as if people try very well/tirelessly to talk to you. And the tight headband and heavy ear pads make them warmer than a cozy winter hat! For some odd reason, the wire between the two glasses isn't fixed and built into the top inflexible band, but sewn onto an elastic leather strap. that fits snugly around your head, meaning the flimsy little wire gets a lot of unnecessary flexing; I expect problems with it in the future, but it hasn't been around long enough to hurt. The cable is pretty much standard rubber insulation, but it's a little textured, I think it's reminiscent of braided insulators. It's much thicker, stiffer and "stickier", than you would expect from headphone cables; it has some weight when it bumps into you when you turn your head. That's why I say the position of the other thin cable is odd because this one seems to be for "heavy duty". I don't see this cable ever breaking the conductor inside, and that horrible "I have to hold it like this to hear anything" problem will probably never happen. It would be difficult to bend the cable enough to twist it, and I find that in most situations this headset pulls off your head by the cable, not the cord. I don't use them as a computer headset as my computer headset uses USB for both digital audio and lighting. This one uses USB for power only, however, in addition to the USB power connector, it has separate microphone and headphone jacks for connecting to the sound card. However, connecting to the controller requires a flimsy little key to combine the two connections and this is definitely the weakest link in the package. The TOT is made up of easily broken thin wires with little strain relief, and I'm already having a bit of trouble getting a stable connection through it (a slight wobble won't fix anything; there just isn't a tight and secure fit to at least one of the three Plug, I guess.) To me, the USB connector is just a stunted tail that gets in the way a bit since it's dangling from that hard wire as it is. I haven't looked at the light so I don't know if they are cool. The mic seems to work fairly well on its 100% flexible stem, but I haven't heard myself with it without checking the volume. So far, however, no one has complained that they can't hear me or that I have disconnected/interference. So I think it's a good microphone. I'm pretty sure the person who wrote the description/ad copy doesn't know what "collectable" means; I don't see any way to wrap or reduce the flexible shaft, it just flexes in any direction. that he can't hear me or that I'm disconnected/disturbed.
