Excellent quality light and sturdy the only thing that I do not like is that the foam around your ears is a little bit too stiff and that around your ears gets hot very easily.
I use it to interpret online meetings and it works wonderfully.
This headset is very large and clunky. I thought I could use it for teams meetings but it isn't going to work, I have the volume turned all the way up and the audio is very low.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is generally well-built. The cords have cloth-woven outter coats to help them stand up to wear and tear and the headset itself is quite comfortable to wear despite its bulk. Failures, as with most headphones are the lack of replaceability of cords, lack of reinforcement at bend points in cords, and lack of replaceability of the ear pads when they wear out. This headset had a pullout microphone which is a nice idea but probably an early break point as well. More problematicwas that the microphone was inadequate to the task of sounding good on meetings via teams, webex, and skype. Feedback from multiple people on multiple occasions is that the sound was distant, tinny, and bad tone all around. So sadly, these are going back to the manufacturer.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I'll hear you before you hear me

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been gaming with cheap(ish) headphones as long as I can remember. I decided that this time, I was going to get quality equipment. I did my research and ultimately went with the Omen Blast Headset because in my opinion it was the best bang for your buck. What stood out to me the most was my ability to locate / hear where the enemies were, prior to seeing them, with amazing accuracy. With cheaper headsets you can normally decipher a foe on the left or on the right, but I'm telling you that I could hear them and immediately be able to decipher where they are (up to the left, down to the right, etc). It has helped my K/D ratios and honestly I feel more comfortable during gameplay because this added confidence in my ability to get to you, prior to you getting to me. Love this addition to my gaming, now just trying to figure out what I need to get next to take me to the next level.
Pros: Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Headset!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was in the market for a great quality headset and I have found the perfect one. The headset is adjustable and sits nicely on my smaller head. It's doesn't slide around. The ear pieces are very comfortable. Its pretty durable and seems very well made. The sound quality is great and there aren't and echos. I haven't had any complaints that people aren't able to hear me with the mic, everyone says I sound nice and clear.
