Before I had purchased the GAMECOM headset, I had been using a cheap logitech headset, but I hated it because the backstrap was annoying, and it cut into my ears really bad. This headset doesn't bother my ears at all, its very comfortable. The mic quality is very good, I use it with Ventrilo and it works greak. The wind screen on the mic is a nice feature as well, it helps to block out other sounds besides your voice, such as your keyboard. The mike boom allows you to fold it all the way up so it aligns with the strap that goes around the top of your head, putting it out of your way which is really an awesome feature, especially if you just want to take a break from gaming or whatever and listen to some music.
What REALLY surprised me when I plugged in this headset was the sound quality, if you play any of the battlefield or call of duty games, and you have a decent sound card, this headset will put you right in the middle of the battle, and this headset is just as awesome for listening to some music. It has some really great low end sounds which makes it even more enjoyable sniping people in CoD4 with your .50 cal.

Summary : Get this headset, you cannot beat all of these awesome features that you would expect from an expensive headset for just a low price. I really do not understand why some people gave this product a one star rating, maybe they got a faulty product or something, but mine worked really great.

This is the second set we own. First set had the wires sucked up by the vacuum and stopped working. They are comfortable with good sound, and we haven't had any other problems with them. We have a mac which requires USB, so we found a USB hub that converted it over to USB. After we got the second set, I took the first set apart and the wires broke free of the little circuit board in the volume control, so I soldered those back on and it's working again. We use them for an online class and a little gaming. I would buy these again, and I think they are the best headphones you can get for $20.

I have used many a pair of headphones and these are not only the most comfortable but the most reliable after many (and i mean MANY) hours of consecutive gameplay. All around, these headphones are fantastic.

Edit after 1.5 years:

I am absolutely in love with this headset. I often game for many consecutive hours and feel no discomfort from this headset after such use. I've purchased many other types of headsets for my younger brother, but none compare. For the price, these headsets offer great sound playback and mic pickup, as well as a comfortable, non-intrusive head-strap that is never too tight or too loose. The length of the wires are a little on the long side, but this is easily overlooked when you consider that this headset is so comfortable - even while wearing glasses! Not so much for proving my point, but simply because they pose no discomfort, the headset has been over my ears the entire time I wrote this review; I forget I'm even wearing them. This headset has lasted me a little over a year and a half and I am very satisfied with my purchase.

well i ordered this headset because my fiance always forgets to get one. Now that hes using it, it's great.. clear reception and comfortable to use. I recommend this one.

There is nothing outstanding about the headset. There is nothing substandard about them either. For the price, I paid 19.99. I'd say it is a good value.

It is perfect for voice over I.P. I Skype. I also audio/video blog. The mic is adequate. It sounds a little tiny but I does the job. The headphones, again, are adequate. It is what I expect for the price.

If you are a casual user, they are a good deal.
