Comfy headphones with very good sound and bad mic.

The good is the sound quality, it is killer, playing Control - I can hear all the minute details and shots coming from everywhere. Keep in mind that this game was made with an amazing sound team on board, they really did their job well making sure everything sounds good and these headphones do their job well showing their work off. Breathability, It is summer now and normally I would be sweating round the ears with headphones on, not with these, my years do get hot, but not enough for any sweat to appear. Comfort, These headphones are RIGID, they do allow for some rotation of the earcups but the headband is impossible to bend making these headphones very uncomfortable if you have a bigger head. Earpads are easy to change so aftermarket ones can be bought and installed if need be. Microphone quality. Its bad. Its not terrible, people will hear and understand you for sure. But this is the weakest part of these headphones. You can get a dedicated modmic or v-moda mic that does a much better job. Overall I give them an 8/10. Get the arctis 3 if your budget allows, they should be slightly better.
