I am not a "gamer"

I was in the market for a new headset to use with my smartphone and work computer. I was previously using the Monster Fatal1ty FXM 200 - which has vastly inferior build quality but a great microphone. The other problem with the FXM 200 is the end of the headphone jack - I had to keep taking my smartphone out of the case to plug it in!
This AT headset allows a lot of clearance so you can easily use it with just about any smartphone + case. Clearly, AT thought about this important factor when designing the cables for this headset. I am also happy to report they are super comfortable and well-built.
This headset is surprisingly made in Taiwan. Products made here are known for their superior quality control. I love the way these look...and the microphone is crystal clear. You must buy a foam tip to cover the microphone for optimal transmission. You will probably hear some of the noise around you while on a call. I prefer this but you may not. Overall sound quality is suited more towards phone calls and not music.
5 stars for an excellent product!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Excellent headset

Bought this when it was on sale ($75), hoping to get something comfortable and decent while spending hours on zoom. I wasn't expecting much frankly, but these are awesome.
These are awesome for zoom meetings and for playing xbox.
The headset is very light --you can barely feel it on!. I didn't notice the weight and pressure my noise-cancelling headphones exerted on my head. If you spend 7+ hours with headsets on, this is a delight. They're a bit plasticky, but not in a way that made them feel flimsy. The earpads are huge and soft, they sit very comfortably over your ears.
The speakers sound fine. I have a pair of Seinheissers that (both open back and noise cancelling) that are better for music, but I'm not doing really listening to music all that much. They're open-back of course, which means you hear noise around you, this is a personal choice, and I like it. It feels like I'm still in the room, not in a vacuum. As to the microphone, well it is 100% better than just using whatever comes built-in with the laptop.
The cable is short enough that it doesn't get all tangled, and long enough to reach laptop without issue. The switchy thing is fine, though the ON/OFF label was backwards, mine had to be turned OFF for the mic to work. Annoying, but again, you get what you pay for.
Overall, these are great work-from-home headsets!
I would recommend this to a friend!
