SA902 7.1 USB Surround Sound PC Headsets Over-Ear Gaming Headphones with Microphone LED Light

If you're looking for USB Headphones...I've spent thousands of dollars on headphones over the years, and this is one of the most 'reliable' and 'adequate' sets I've ever had. I would not have expected it from USB - and have traditionally been a hardline advocate for 1/4in-to-source.Since 'the thing' started - I'm wearing headphones working from home 10-12 hours a day - and these get the job done incredibly well for the money. Super comfortable.. and 'light enough' to not cramp your neck after 12 hours straight. (cushions might get sweaty if not in an air-conditioned space)I've had Sony, Sennheiser, Denon, and all sounded great. My opinion: this is 95-98% the same sound quality of those higher end headphones. Only missing definition at the _really_ low end and lacks separation and clarity at the high end... which you wouldn't typically get without spending hundreds anyway.I've got lapel mics, ribon mics, condenser mics, and honestly - the mic in this is perfect for _VOICE_ applications and has 'decent-enough' noise cancelling that you wouldn't have to apply noise gates or additional filtering by default - I still do... but that's me. Great for gaming, streaming, voice-calls, video calls, etc.I've had more expensive sets where the headband or underlying support 'weaken / deform' after a few months use. These have held up for a 1.5 years far better than sets that cost six times as much. That said, I probably wouldn't give them more than a 3-5 year lifetime depending on use.If I have to find something I don't like? Would like to be able to turn-off the LEDs and can't. The in-line control feels flimsy. Like most cheaper 'braided' cables... this one 'binds up' a little if it gets twisted and is annoying if you want your cables 'OCD-straight' all the time. Cushions are that material that after a few years will probably start to 'flake' .. at which point.. new cushions or a new set.... for the money... I just don't need another set right now... but I'd rather have 3 sets of these than 1 set of $100+ 'higher end' headphones into a sound card or amp.Would not have guessed.

At this reasonable price point, it honestly has no right to be this amazing. I can wear this headset for 12+ hours a day between working at home and gaming and still be comfortable. Everyone I talk to says the microphone quality is great and never has issues. I am not an audiophile by any means, but the audio while playing video games, listening to music, and watching movies sounds more than good enough to me.Before purchasing this one, I had the previous edition (red) for over 5 years, and the only issue I had were the leather surface of the ear pads disintegrating. Everything else still worked perfectly (and they even still felt comfortable without the leather covering). I expect the same from this new headset, but given that it lasted so long for such a low price, I did not mind at all having to replace it.I don't need noise cancellation, but if you are looking for that, this does not cancel much noise at all. I game in the same room as another person and I can usually hear everything they say relatively clearly with the headset on. This was true even if I was listening to music at a relatively high volume.The little adjustment knob with volume adjustment of both speakers and microphone is handy, although it can sometimes be easy to accidentally press one of the buttons if your arm pushes it against the chair or table. I make sure to always have it in a position that it is unlikely to be pressed. It could probably be taped on the table if you don't intend on moving the cord around in a significant way.

I work from home and wear my headset 11 hours a day. I like that most calls are clear and myself & customer can communicate with ease.Only downside is it hurts my ears after about 6 hours. If they could make the ear piece larger it would be perfect!

I was amazed at how long I have had this headset, and there is no pealing of leatherette. But I have dropped them a few times and had a rattle in the right earpiece. I took off the cushion and was amazed to find it was assembled with screws! Removed 4 screws for the ear cup retainer and 4 screws for the driver cover. I found the the speaker had dislodged from its holder in the cover. A little super glue and all is well. I'm impressed that the whole thing is assembled with screws and easily repairable! I'm going to order another pair right now to replace the pealing ones at me cabin.

So, I cannot believe I have never written a review for these things since I have purchased no less than 6 of them over the past seven years. At one point EVERYONE in my family was using these. The sound quality and noise cancellation is great and everyone says that my voice sound perfectly clear and tonal when using these.There are a few quirks, however. 1) The long (and I mean LONG) cord has a tendency to twist itself into knots, 2) the long, long, cord is easy to get tripped up in when you dash from your computer to take the (now) burning pot off of the stove that you left there for an hour whilst playing some computer game or attempting to watch EVERY video on the Internet, 3) if you step on the volume or mute buttons (again because of the very long cord), it can be frustrating, and 4) over time (about 4 years for us) the foam around the ears will deteriorate and you will be left with some black specks on your face every time you use them. But I continue to purchase these because you can get used to the quirks and they are inexpensive enough to warrant this. If I ever move on from these...I suppose they would be some hundreds of dollars set of wireless headphones...but so far not gonna.
