They're cheap, they're adequate for gaming, and for me they have held up well over time. Sure there are better headsets out there, but they're much more expensive. If you want a decent headset for not much money, this is a good bet

None really. For the price they're excellent

Okay sound quality ; Long cable ; Inline volume control is sometimes useful

Really, really uncomfortable ; Microphone is pretty poor quality ; Snapped in two a few months after purchase

These phones are inexpensive and sound great. I use mine for gaming via Mumble and everyone says they can hear me loud and clear. The 8 ft cable is amazing because its got 2 feet on the standard 6 most cabled headphones have

The only complaint I have is they do make my head hurt after a while. When you first get them they are very tight to your head (my face is long and tall not very wide) but the more often you wear them they ease up, stretch out a bit and feel more...

Excellent sound: quality & clarity. Has the mid-bass response that so many "bass-boosted" gimmick headphones (and 2.1s) lack. Integrated volume control. Good mic

Can be uncomfortable with glasses until broken in ; Cord is a bit fragile @ the volume connector. Mine is clearly on it's last legs after about one year of ownership - time to break out the soldering iron

This headset was great when I first got it shipped to my door. and 1 month later it is still like brand new. the sound is great, and the microphone is decent. This headset is also very comfortable to wear, I can wear it for hours and not get irritated

The boom for the microphone is sort of flimsy, if you move your head too fast left or right the microphone wobbles around, which can be annoying when you are recording. Also this has a tenancy to pull my hair when I take it off

No software required, purely plug and play. Super cheap at only $29.99. In the last year or two I've owned atleast a dozen different headsets for the various online games I play. And at under $30 you will NOT find anything better imo

None whatsoever, does everything I expect and more from a $30 headset

Very good value for the money, probably the best at this price point. Very good sound isolation, I can't hear my 5 year old... ! This is the secret mute button for all of those sounds in your life you wish you could get rid of. Sound is pretty good,...

Could get you divorced if your wife is trying to get you to answer! They are a bit heavy so you know it when you take them off, although they aren't uncomfortable to wear. Mic is fine for voice unless you're a professional singer, although if you are...

Good price / quality ratio ; Excellent sound (only playing SC2 and movies) - Not super bassey, but good overall sound quality. Comfortable. Newegg got these to me in less than 22 hrs

3.5mm jacks are black and grey not green and red, so finding the correct placement in the dark is difficult

Value priced for a decent set of full-ear cans with a mic. Comfortable for me. Light considering the size. Inline volume control a plus. Great for VoiP or gaming. These go for $44.99 + shipping on Koss' website. NewEgg rocks again

Not really for critical listening. They are quite good, but audiophile quality they ain't

Easy to Use
