Ok...i have been using these babies for about a month...
What is included.
Headphones with large cups coated in a lovely soft cushioned material with the 2 normal 3.5mm mic attachments and a neat but cool mic which can turned neatly out of the way.
3m of cable with a neat cable management system, mute switch and a strong clip for attachment.
USB adaptor with miniature soundcard inserted inside. This is great for lan events and 10x better than onboard sound! This attaches to the 2 3.5mm jacks and the join is strong and of good quality.
The whole unit is well made and of good quality and more importantly...very comfortable...with even my elephant ears being kept nice and snug!

How do they sound?
Games/movies:
Unbelievable!
The responsiveness and sound quality i would rate at 9.5 out of 10...Explosions sound awesome and make you want to duck you can hear all finer sounds with amazing clarity and i think they just make games/movies come alive!
Music fidelity:
I would rate as 8.5 out of 10...they really are that good...I have used these on my ipod and they sound awesome...From Madonna to Kings of leon to Big daddy kane...All sound sweet and get ya feet tapping.
To be honest you would have to spend even more money on proper music headphones to beat these cans...But thats just my opinion!
The mic:
Without a doubt the best mic on any headphones bar none...crystal clear clarity and response!
Thats with and without using the USB attachment. You only need the USB soundcard for lan events or if you have crappy onboard sound. Otherwise the normal stereo jacks is all you need.
The down side.
Although no doubt good quality, the cabling is thin.
Bass isnt massive but thats a personal thing.
They are not cheap! £60ish.
USB soundcard volume is low compared to normal attachment...However you can adjust this somewhat using normal windows volume control.
Overall.
I would give these a rating of 9 out of 10!
Really??? and why's that?? I have a pair of the Fatal1ty ones and i love em!!
Maybe that's all me... As I've been lucky to have friends in the sound industry that are generous with there toys and basically.............. I've been spoilt ....but for me the Fatal1ty has way too much bass and not a very good mic...........I know I know it's only £25....BUT
