the mic is clear, not perfect, but good for the headset's price. music sounds really good, especially metal and rock the 7.1 surround is not that good, but it's acceptable, don't expect it to be perfect

the bass/treble balance is great

your hair might get stuck in the foam padding; it's not that big of a deal though

I bought this headset a while back because I was in need of a new pair. These were pretty much the first thing I saw when I entered the store, the cool and unique design caught my eye instantly. I decided to buy them mostly because of the brand and the design.

Design; 7.1 surround

have to choose between 7.1 surround and use of microphone due to some glitch

I like the way the G430 looks and sounds but it feels like it might break if I don't baby it 24/7. I am afraid to put it in my bag. That said, I would still buy this headset for $35-40 and be vigilant about caring for it.

Can't say im too upset at coming back to my desk to find that one of the earphones cheapo plastic connectors has broke ( probably from putting them down gently after my last use) Genuinely the worst set of headphones i have ever purchased and i've been buying them for 20 years.

Sound is great. Mic is meh. The plastic frame can snap easily. I would recommend getting a better headset in the price range.

- The sound quality is amazing - The mic is okay; They kinda sound bad but it works - Lightweight - Long cable

- Materials used are cheap quality; The plastic frame snaps easily and that's how mine broke after a few months; It snapped while I was removing it from my head - The top padding is not soft enough for the head; The top of my head hurts after a few hours of using it.

I've seen a lot of professional twitch.tv streamers use these such as Ex- league of legends professional players and such that makes me wonder if for heavy use headsets that these would be the best in terms of quality to longevity ratio.

Good microphone with good flexibility and sound quality; Ear coverings fit well over most heads and has a comfortable feel to it

After 1 and a half years of relatively heavy use, the pivot on the ear muffs wears down and brakes; This is indicative of the plastic used for the pivots in the headset; I've ordered this headset twice over the course of 3 -2 1/2 years and I'm just going to move onto a sturdier headset due to the...

The sound from games is clear and directional. I even pick up on sounds I did not notice with my previous headset (but maybe that's a game update). They seem fairly well built from what I can tell so far, but I wouldn't want to stretch them out any without fear of breaking something. Two issues: 1.

As far as the quality for the microphone and speaker, they work perfectly. However,since I have a Macbook pro there was a learning curve involved for getting to work properly. Even with the USB, it didn't quite work until I found the correct connection for the jacks.

I've had these headphones for about a year and they finally broke, replacing them for the g930's 'which were on sale' But before they broke they lasted me quite a long time for the price. They were comfortable and would buy another pair if my current ones ever break again.

Sounds pretty nice, color of the headphones are neat; Microphone is pretty good as well

Top part of headphones are a tad weak; cushions are flimsyish

very comfortable and very good quality. has clean and clear mic
