This headset has a good sound and, because they are lighter than other similar headsets and they have very soft cushioned ear pads, they are extremely comfortable to wear. I have also been extremely pleased with the quality of the sound recorded from the microphone. I've used this headset for voice-over recordings, online gaming, and talking on Skype, and I've been thrilled with the quality. I've recommended this set to numerous friends and family members because of the high quality combined with the low price. However, although this set has a good sound and records very well, this set won't last very long. I bought my headset about a year ago, and it has worked splendidly for the last year. But, today I was using it to record some audio for a project and it crapped out on me. The earphones still sound fantastic, but the microphone no longer works. However, because of the cheap price and great quality, I've decided to purchase another set. Some people have reported sound problems, which also happened to my sister. I suspect that problem might be related to the long cord. The cord on this headset is about six feet long, which is great for an extended reach, but bad because it means there's a bigger chance that you're going to roll over the cord with your chair or snag it on something and yank it off your head (I believe my sister did that, which damaged the headset). So, if you're careful you may be able to avoid that problem. In my case, the mic stopped working, so I assume that the wires in the positionable microphone have become frayed or loose. Although I'd expect that to happen over time, I do not expect that to happen in just a year. However, this headset is so cheap and the quality of the sound is so good, I'm still going to purchase another set. The bottom line with this set: Fantastic sound reproduction and recording capabilities from a cheap-as-dirt headset, but you pay for that in shortened lifespan.

I am on my second time around with these headsets. The first set I lost sound in my left ear, and because I loved the comfort and sound quality (I thought it may have been a fluke)I bought another set. BIG MISTAKE!! They also lasted less than a year, and I lost sound in the right ear. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!!!
 Works great...for a year October 2, 2006

Well, it was a great buy for the first year. After that it started loosing sound in the right ear. I figured I could live with that. Now it looses sound in both ears on and off. I go from sound to nothing to one ear all the time. It is the most annoying thing I have ever experienced. Buy a better headset and don't spend the money twice.
Two dead headsets in six months (updated!) May 26, 2007

This is a comfortable headset and it sounds great for voice chat, but I've gone through two of them in the last six months. The first, purchased about five months ago, lost sound on the right side about two months ago. The second, which was purchased immediately afterwards, lost sound on the left side less than an hour ago.
Were it not for the repeated failures, this headset would get four stars from me.
UPDATE: It's been about eight months since I wrote this review, and the replacement I received from Amazon for the second dead headset has now lost sound on its right side. Stay away from this headset!
 Excellent purchase September 12, 2007

Purchased these from an Amazon partner company for less than $12 refurbished, but I believe it was just an "open box" set. I've been using them to play online for about a month now and am completely satisfied.
I trashed a set of Altec Lansing AHS615 because the inner speaker sat on my ear along with the surrounding support cushion - after a couple of hours my ears started to hurt.
I can wear the Gamecom models all day without a problem and, based upon other reviews, think they may be one of the best on the market. They're also very light in weight.
Sound quality is great, decent bass and high-to-mid frequency output levels - all are mixed very well.
Overall I would recommend these to anyone looking for a nice headset/mic combo that provides quality performance without being overpriced.
