Sound Quality: 10/10 Mic Quality: 10/10 (based on the response from online friends) Durability: 10/10 Detachable mic and aux cord allows you to replace components at a fraction of the cost (if needed) rather than replacing the whole headset. If you play online you will notice an immediate difference and advantage. Footsteps are extremely clear and you have extra time to adjust positions and prepare. You can also game for extended periods with no discomfort, the headset is sturdy but not heavy, and the ear cups are very comfortable.

This headset is perfect for me. I play video games minimally 8 hours a day and I swap from console to PC. I use this headset for everything except my phone (it can connect to my phone if I wanted it to) and let me tell you - if feels very comfortable even after extended periods of use. If you're used to headsets from the ASTRO brand, this might feel like a bit of a down-grade because there's no volume mixer with this headset - only volume up/down & mute. There's also no software for customizations like you would get with the HyperX Pulsefire Raid but you really don't *need* it with this headset. (No software for this headset is part of why I gave it a 4/5 stars - if the HyperX mouse can utilize software, a headset should too) The microphone is detachable so you can use it for just listening to audio if you want to. Though I don't recommend working out with this headset as it will get moist fairly quickly and thus become uncomfortable. The cord length is nice as well since it's not too long and it's not too short; the only issue is that it can tangle itself up pretty easily which can be annoying (This being the other reason I only gave it 4/5 stars) HyperX is a very good brand though and with them I don't feel like I'm paying a 'logo premium' like you might feel from certain other brands. It's also very durable, I've dropped this headset many times on the ground (concrete flooring) and it's not been scratched or damaged or anything. Overall would highly recommend this headset.
