More than worth the cost

My third HyperX II Headset broke. One side always cracks by the screws, and keeps sliding out. Didn't want to shell out for a newer model; plus older MIC isn't backwards compatible. So bye bye HyperX. Was looking for something of good value, and this fit the bill.
These are extremely light. The head band/ComfortMax is very comfortable. The ear pads/top section are easily better; and aren't made out of that crappy material that breaks/dries up over time. And the MIC being built in is great.
Sound has less bass, but very clear. Enjoy having a volume control wheel and MIC mute button for convenience, along with being able to disconnected/replace the two-way 3.5 cable from the headset.
The only downside is the 3.5 cables being unshielded, but for the price I can't complain too much. Never notice it unless I intentionally rub it/move around.
Been using them daily for a few weeks and am very satisfied.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I really love the Headset, the audio quality is really good, the microphone quality exceeded my expectations. It’s a little difficult getting the mic out but other than that, everything is really smooth!
I would recommend this to a friend!
