Bottomline first I have had this headset for almost a year. During that time, I have used it for work and gaming both for multiple hours at a time. The cushions on the ear pads are comfortable, the boom mic doesn't pick up a bunch of background noise, and has lasted through less than gentle transport in my laptop bag. Pros Durable Decent sound quality The mic doesn't pick up background noise like the AC right behind me It works on my Mac, my Xbox, and my PC It doesn't make my ears sweaty when used for prolonged times Cons The dongle to split the single plug to a dual plug was unreliable The inline mute button can be hit accidentally Read more
So I really like the external feel and construction of this headset, and it has a nice long wire for those of us with greater separation from our PCs. That is is the good news. The bad news is that I have had 2 of these headsets and both of got down the toilet with the internals. The first one I got always blared audio through the mic input for some reason, and it steadily got worse and worse over a 2 month period until suddenly the right earphone just died. So I got it covered by warranty and thrustmaster replaced it. Alright that's all well and good, but its sadly not the end of my tale of woe. The replacement set similarly blared audio through the Mic input, and the headphones right side would cut out incessantly. I found a quick workaround was to repeatedly unplug and replug the audio jack into the input output splitter over and over again until it worked. That is until today, when the mic cut out, and will not come back no matter how many times I unplug and replug, oh and the right headphone is also now permanently dead. This whole headset has been nothing but a pain in my life for the last year! Do yourself a favor and do NOT buy this headset. This was a real shocker for me, because I generally love Thrustmaster, I have their warthog HOTAS it is fantastic, but for whatever reason this headset is just plain terrible and does not live up to the quality I expect of much worse brands.

This headset looks and feels like its built to a Mil- Spec. Large and very heavy duty. Sound quality is excellent. Easy access volume control (actual turn knob on left earpiece.) Weight is heavier than most, but that's why they are so strong. The head band is padded stainless spring steel - but they are quite comfortable due to a wide padded band. I actually used them at the firing range and they did decent there too! My only complaint - The ear holes are bit small, but I have a big head so they will work fine for most. Easily the most durable, heavy duty gaming headset on the market. These will not break after a year of use like most. Read more
These started to have issues within 2 months. Then at 3 months one ear went dead, and now at 5 months the 2nd ear went dead and you can hear absolutely nothing. Definitely not worth it for the price. No longevity for computer gaming or listening at all. Read more
Comfortable but discord bleeds through and the ear cups fall off easy. Use these for flying DCS. Members of discord group can hear my game sounds bleed through like the speakers are also a mic. Can't find the reason. Read more
Well made, clear sound, mic works well, comfortable piec of equipment for gaming. Read more
it's really a shame because, they are very comfortable, the mic sounds good and they are very sturdy. when I first used the headphone volume knob it would crackle and so would the mic when I adjusted it (also the audio quality isn't to good). that in it's self isn't too bad but soon after that I would have to mess with the cable to get sound in both the left and right ear. about 2 months later and the right headphone just gave out. it is way to expensive and will not last Read more
The sound quality is great and the microphone is powerful. It's a great buy and worth the money spent. I would buy this again anytime. I love that it has a mic volume control and a headphone volume control. The detectable mic is a great idea. And the foam around the ears are comfortable. Read more
