I've had a pair of these headphones since 2020. They've lasted me for a long, long time. I've come back 5 years later to get me another pair, because only recently, the leather ear pads have started to peel off, and the mic got kinda worn out. Of course, these are only cosmetic problems. The mic works excellently, and my friends have even randomly just been like "Wow, how is your voice so clear". It's great. The sound quality is just as good as new. I've put these headphones through the ringer and they still work just fine. So if any of you particularly rage-prone gamers out there get you a pair of these headphones, I'm pretty confident they'll survive an intimate high speed collision with your drywall. In all seriousness though, if you treat them well, I can see 'em lasting years longer than they lasted for me. Along with that, these headphones are a great budget option, especially if you don't like rolling the dice on those unknown Chinese manufacturers that plague Amazon. For $40, I can't think of a better option for a set of gaming headphones. If on the off chance something goes wrong, I'll update this post (doubt I'll need to lol). Read more

I have had these for over two years now and really can't complain about much. I play video games and stream with them and have gotten comments on how nice and clear my mic is. Audio: I think the audio is pretty standard. Not the best you'll ever hear in life but in this price range it's amazing. I've been jump scared a few times not being able to hear someone come up to my desk so the noise cancelling is pretty decent. Mic: I thought that maybe I needed to upgrade my mic but I haven't found anything aside upgrading to an external mic that tops this. I love the flip to mute ability and use it frequently. Comfort: I usually start to feel the tiniest discomfort after about 5-6 hours which is plenty time for me most of the time. I have worn them longer and it's not painful but just a little sore when I take them off. They are on the lighter side and adjust nicely. Longevity: There's some slight wear on the headband part but that just started after all this time and they do rest on a holder in that spot. I did have some issues with sound stopping out of one earphone at one point, I think something became loose and so I just have to keep the volume scroll wheel on the actual headset in a certain spot now but it's not a problem because I never used that to control the volume anyway. It hasn't stopped working in a few months now. I haven't seen anyone else have this issue when it started so could just be a rare occasion and of course eventually they'll need to be replaced. For this price though I'd buy the same ones again and be set for a few more years at least. Comparison: I saw some HyperX Cloud Alpha S on sale and bought them thinking I was getting an upgrade and I was so wrong. The HyperX mic quality was so quiet I thought maybe it was just me but saw others posting online having the same issues. So far I haven't been able to fix it enough and in order to stream and not annoy talking with friends in Discord I'll be returning to using my Logitech headset for the foreseeable future. The HyperX was also much heavier and started to cause discomfort much sooner, maybe about two hours. Overall: Despite some minor issues these headphones have done really well for me and are better than other headsets I've tried that may be similarly priced. I would definitely recommend these to anyone looking for a new gaming headset. Read more

I mostly like the mic quality. To my non-audiophile ear it seemed to handle plosives and sibilance better than a more expensive competitor's brand I own. Still not perfect though. No matter how much fiddling I did with the software the mic seems to pick up background noise. When I'm playing video games it seems there's often the slight, psssshhh sound when I speak into the mic, seemingly the sound of my gaming computer's fans. When I'm not gaming and my pc isn't spinning up those GPU and CPU fans the mic sounds... acceptable, maybe a software issue that can be ironed out with an update. The headphone audio quality, at least to me sounds good enough, but not straight out of the box frustratingly. I had to open up Logitech G hub software and do a bit of tweaking with the software to get it sounding halfway tolerable. The main use-case for this headset, zeroing in on the directional sound of footsteps when playing FPS games works well. At least with these you can actually adjust the settings, finally get audio to a level I would call tolerable unlike a cheaper set of headphones I previously had. Is it a worthy set of studio level headphones, oh heck no! Can you be competitive in gaming with these, is it a worthy competitor to some $100-$150 headsets on the market, you bet! I have concerns about the little plastic piece at the swivel point. I will likely fiberglass it to solid if it breaks. All-in-all I think it's well worth the $35 price tag and gets my seal of approval* *terms and conditions apply Read more
