" ... Let's go through all the main aspects of a good gaming headset. ... Comfort - In my opinion, the most important aspect of a gaming headset. ... Many gamers like myself routinely marathon games, and a good headset needs to fade into the background and not hurt my ears during a game or after I'm done. ... The headset won't weigh you down, and using it for short gaming sessions is fine. ... It's when you're planning a long night of gaming that you can really feel the headset's cheap price. ... If you're a hardcore gamer who's looking for headphones to last through long gaming sessions, look elsewhere. ... Plain and simple. ... It's also worth noting that the mic is non-detachable and only mutes through buttons on the inline remote, which means it's easy to forget if your mic is on or not. ... There's nothing console centric here, apart from the fact that the color scheme matches the PS4's. ... "
