This set of cans features a remarkably lightweight yet firm frame, and soft memory-foam ear cushions with a delicate grip.

The solid metal construction gives this headset both a nice heft and a durability that’s unmatched in the sub-$100 range, while keeping the form factor slim and attractive.

What reviewers didn't like
It isn’t soundproof, so some louder audio bled out during Skype calls, but even with audio muted, I can barely hear the typically obnoxious clicking of my mechanical keyboard.
- IGN
Don’t get me wrong, this isn’t a studio-quality set of headphones. It’s a mite heavy on the bass (though less than most gaming headsets) and the high-end sounds a little slick.
