" ... Sound quality + comfort, what more does one need? ... "
" ... The sound is really great as well. ... "
" ... Very satisfied with these headphones in both the comfort department and sound quality. ... "
" ... They feel great on your head and the sound is good, but much better with a good sound card. ... "
" ... Also my buddies said my voice sounded like I was "speaking from inside a midget closet". ... If you are thinking of purchasing this headset without the budget for a nice sound card . ... The sound card is required . ... Sound Blaster X AE-5 sound card ... "
" ... The sound is very nice when used with a high quality DAC. ... "

" ... Awesome headset, great sound quality and ear cuffs are comfortable. ... "
" ... I'm writing this review simply because I have been so impressed by the quality of the sound, and most of all the comfort. ... This is such a joy to wear ... "
" ... Very satisfied with these headphones in both the comfort department and sound quality. ... The ear cups are perfect size to fit all the way around my ears and not rest on them ( my logitech g35's used to cramp my ears). ... They are super light which makes for wearing them over extended periods of time quite enjoyable. ... "
" ... For the first month, putting these on felt incredible. ... "
" ... This headset feels much more durable than other headsets in the 75-100$ range that I have owned in the past. ... The headset is actually pretty light for how strong it feels, and the ear cups are fabric and don't hurt my ears even after wearing them all day. ... "
" ... For the simple reason being they get uncomfortable after long sessions. ... The open ear makes a HUGE difference. ... The headband pressure is perfect. ... The mic activation by rasing and lowering feels very nice as well, it doesn't feel like it's going to wear out any time soon. ... The headband adjustment also feels very nice. ... "
" ... They sound fine to my normie ears and the open back really helps your ears breathe. ... "

" ... I am a hard core PC gamer. ... Right now I'm playing players unknown battlegrounds. ... I researched other headsets and after talking with the other guys I game with . ... EVGA 1070 FTW graphics ... "
" ... These headphones, aren't just great at gaming. ... The other is a much longer cable which is plenty long enough for just about all gaming setups. ... Right out of the box they good for not just gaming, but also movies and music. ... "
" ... The GAME ONE is very similar to the PC360 in performance: about the same sound quality (very good for a headset, as opposed to real headphones) and mic quality (really great). ... Overall, I think this is the best PC gaming headset available. ... Where the GAME ONE really excels is in ease of use / ergonomics. ... "
" ... Awesome game headphones, a little low on the Ohm. ... "
" ... Has good acoustics, decent for games where auditory awareness is key. ... "
" ... The overall sound quality I'd give it a solid 8.5 out of 10 between games, voice, and music. ... "
" ... Very useful if you're into competitive gaming. ... "

" ... Other than that great headset. ... "
" ... Headset is fantastic open back headphones create a great sound stage ... "
" ... My old headset was fine but I wanted to get that next level audio experience that you can only get from a $100+ headset. ... I made my choice to get the Game One headset. ... Other reviews mentioned that these headsets need a sound card . ... "
" ... The headset uses a detachable 3.5mm cable that is good to switch between my PC and phone. ... "
" ... Now i'll start this review by saying that in the past i tend to have never used headsets. ... "
" ... I really love these headphones! ... "
" ... These are phenomenal headphones and I can’t recommend them enough! ... "

" ... I really like these phones- they are comfortable and the cables are wrapped yet they remain lightweight. ... Cables are also of sufficient length that you can use them with controllers or on a laptop or sound board elsewhere on your desk like I do. ... "
" ... Nice long wire as well. ... "
" ... The headset uses a detachable 3.5mm cable that is good to switch between my PC and phone. ... "
" ... Everything down to the quality of the cord itself, which is detachable, is top notch. ... One is a shorter cable with a single connector for mic and sound. ... The other is a much longer cable which is plenty long enough for just about all gaming setups. ... "
" ... It's just really nice to not have to fiddle with multiple wires, not having to use an amp, having the swing up to mute function on the mic boom, and having the volume control on the earcup. ... "
" ... The cord is great and doesn't tangle. ... "
" ... The long cord when you plug the two 3.5mm jacks into the front of the PC can get tangled and being able to have it wrapped up and stay wrapped up is a blessing. ... "
" ... Both cabels are braided and are built to last! ... "

" ... Everything down to the quality of the cord itself, which is detachable, is top notch. ... The build quality fantastic. ... The headband adjustment also feels very nice. ... "
" ... The GAME ONE is better than the PC360 in build quality - it feels more solid, and things slide and click into place more smoothly with a more satisfying feel. ... "
" ... The velvet type material around the earpieces help make it really comfortable especially after long periods of use. ... "
" ... Both cabels are braided and are built to last! ... "
" ... The plastic is sturdy and ergonomic, the velvet accents are soft and comfortable as all hell, and the microphone works absolutely perfectly right out of the box. ... "

" ... Had to replace the cable 2 times in less then a year. ... "
" ... Worked fine until mysterious failure. ... "
" ... Bought these in January 2017. ... Just had my second pair stop working and am waiting for them to send me a new one. ... "
" ... The build quality is completely cheap plastic and most likely will fail within months of use. ... "
" ... I've only had these 9 months. ... don't recommend unless you buy a new headset every 6 months. ... "
" ... 2nd headset I've received, same issue. ... "
" ... I purchased these a few months ago, and I have stuck with them until just now. ... I really want to believe that my headphones were faulty right out of the box, and this isn't the standard for this product across the board. ... Within a few days, I would get annoying . ... "
" ... These were either Knockoffs, a defective refurb, or just plain bad! ... "

" ... I could wear them all day, they have incredible sound and clarity with just the right amount of bass. ... "
" ... The treble is not too sharp, and the bass is not disturbing. ... "
" ... But I will say that if your a kid,or somebody that loves bass then this isn’t for you. ... "
" ... For music, these definitely have a very level sound response especially compared to the Cloud, which, while having tighter bass than most, definitely pronounces the low end more. ... "
" ... You can go with Hyperx Cloud Revolver (I have it) for a low budget all in one package and a bit more bass. ... "
" ... For example, I think the Sony headsets have more a V-shape, meaning they favor bass and higher frequencies. ... This makes for an exciting and fun sound but I think it’s somewhat fatiguing and the bass can blur out some of the midrange sounds (where most of the sound exists). ... They have good bass, good midrange, and decent highs. ... "
" ... Very good sound stage for a closed back with good natural equalization (not too heavy on the bass for a closed back). ... "
" ... The sound is good enough to 95% of people(though it could use some more bass). ... "

" ... Good for the price ... "
" ... Could not go wrong at any price though. ... "
" ... Before I bought them I thought the price was pretty expensive, but trust me this is definitely worth the price. ... "
" ... They're the best sounding headphones for gaming I've ever heard, and they are well worth the price now that it's lower than it originally retailed for. ... Don't get me wrong, it would have been worth it at the original retail price too, but now that they've come down a bit, there's absolutely no reason not to get them. ... "
" ... I couldn't tell a difference besides the price ... "
" ... For the current price of $170 I think they are an excellent value, and I highly recommend them if you are looking for a new headset. ... "
" ... Wonderful product, well worth the investment. ... "
" ... Money I wish I had just put to this headset to begin with. ... "

" ... I have used this headset to make calls using Google Hangouts and the people on the other line say that the quality is even better than on my cell phone. ... "
" ... The mic’s sound isolation, voice quality, build quality, and convenience are fantastic. ... "
" ... I'm on calls from my computer all day, and this headset is as good as I can imagine. ... "

" ... It makes it very easy to adjust the volume without tabbing out of a game or program, because it does not actually affect the volume on the PC or phone. ... "
" ... The volume adjustment on the ear is also excellent. ... It's nice to not have to fine a little volume brick to adjust the volume, just reach up and it's right there. ... "
" ... Very good audio quality + pretty loud ... "
" ... I really like the volume roller, it's a great feature and while it doesn't let you mute the headphones, I think that's actually a plus. ... "
" ... They have a large cavity inside and the sound is very good. ... "
" ... Every sound sounds like its coming from its own little speaker. ... "
" ... Can compensate with a decent stereo system. ... "
" ... I can hear what's going on around me too but that's not a bad thing because my house is pretty quiet. ... "

" ... It makes it very easy to adjust the volume without tabbing out of a game or program, because it does not actually affect the volume on the PC or phone. ... "
" ... I also love how you can mute the mic by flipping it up and the volume control dial is pretty nice as well ... "
" ... I really like the volume roller, it's a great feature and while it doesn't let you mute the headphones, I think that's actually a plus. ... I have a volume puck that has the same control style for my speakers so it's a really natural thing for me to reach for that when my other headphones are plugged in and find it does nothing. ... "
" ... The volume control on the right ear is a very good design and allows you to easily get the volume right and is easy and natural to use. ... "
" ... Piano keys sound. ... "
" ... I love the volume knob on the side (use it a lot) as well as the way the microphone "clicks" to disengage when you lift it. ... "
" ... The volume control is very easy to use, as is the raise mic to mute feature. ... "

" ... The headset uses a detachable 3.5mm cable that is good to switch between my PC and phone. ... "
" ... -This *does not require a USB adapter or a combo audio adapter. ... Both come with Velcro cable management ties and I find this particularly handy for both storage and for how my gaming tower is set up. ... "
" ... I also like that it came with two cables (they can be switched out), one that is 3.5mm that works with smartphones or my Mac, the other with a seperate green and red connector for audio in/out that I use with my PC. ... "
" ... Great product, im not sure why ive seen people say you need an adapter for ps4, switch from the dual wire thats pre-connected to the single connector and it works perfectly. ... "
" ... The new interchangeable cables means I can plug directly into my controller with no adapter. ... "
" ... It couldn't be simpler to use, just plug it in and go. ... "
" ... One is for your computer, the other is for a stereo/cellphone (3.5mm jack). ... "
" ... The cable is removable, there's a separate cable provided for consoles, in case you want to attach it to a PS4 or Xbox One controller and don't want to remove from your PC. ... "

" ... The plastic is sturdy and ergonomic, the velvet accents are soft and comfortable as all hell, and the microphone works absolutely perfectly right out of the box. ... "
" ... The look of them is great. ... "
" ... I also really like the simple design free of spectrum lighting and the feel of the plastic which is thick and slick. ... Still, I actually see that as an advantage because of its simplicity. ... "
" ... Absolute velvety bliss. ... "
" ... All that remains to be seen is whether it will stand the test of time, but it has that "high-quality feel" so I have high hopes. ... "

" ... They came on time and in very attractive packaging, always a plus whenever I order from Amazon. ... "
" ... Initial product was defective but they immediately shipped a replacement which we like. ... "
" ... Thank you for your time. ... "

" ... For those of us gamers using TrackIR, it fits perfectly next to the microphone. ... "
" ... they also fit my head very well. ... "
" ... Sound quality is good, it actually fits my (rather large) head well. ... "
" ... This headset fits me very well. ... These do not clamp too tight and the arm that goes on top of the head has a really nice pad on it. ... They fit perfectly around my ears and they don't get pinched or crushed at all. ... I have pretty big ears too, so it's nice to find a set of headphones that fit so well. ... They go around the ears and fit on my head without any overlapping areas. ... "

" ... The "noise cancelling" works well enough. ... "
" ... I'm also really happy with the non-noise cancelling feature of the headphones - I don't have to take them off to hear someone yelling my name from down the hall. ... The microphone works brilliantly as well - crisp, clear, and it has built in background noise-cancelling ability. ... "
" ... If you want noise cancelling, the GAME ZERO headset is basically this with closed back noise cancelling. ... "
" ... I will say that if you're changing from a noise cancelling headset, then these may sound different at first. ... "
" ... For me, it eliminates any buzzing/white noise and enhances both the headphone and microphone quality. ... "
" ... There is a noise cancelling mic which I expect ought to work perfectly right out of the box. ... "
" ... They surprisingly have a decent mic as well and has good noise cancellation in the mic, however any decent studio or condenser mic will greatly beat it. ... "
" ... The microphone works great with the built in noise cancellation. ... "
