These didn't work straight out of the box. I spent 10 minutes trying to figure out why I didn't have any sound and found there was a short in the volume dial. I have to hold pressure on the dial to get sound in both ears.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great Headset

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The first feature I like about this headset is the audio control the volume and mute control in 1 place. The 2nd is the retractable mic. If not needed just fold it. The headset is lightweight with the padded suspension headband. I would say it's not really full noise cancelling headset because I can still hear noises wearing the headset with or without music presence. Also the headset is compatible to any electronics tried it with my ps4, the mac and phone even. I dont like how big is the headset but it's kinda good that it covers the entire ear and no worries of hurting the ears. The music, bass is clear when using the headset.
These over ear headphone cups make for a hot, sweaty experience. The microphone is surpisingly good.

Provides Ultimate Gaming Experience!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The is headset is well manufactured. The metal, self-adjusting headband fits well without feeling too snug or loose. The ear pads and headband are very well padded that you forget you are even wearing them after several hours. The best feature is noise cancelling. I submerged myself in the game without any external disturbances and was able to utilize the retractable microphone so other players were only hearing me and no other sounds in my home. I could readily control the volume and mute myself with the control on cable. It comes with an audio jack and a USB adapter so it is compatible with multiple devices. The experience I achieved with this headset is unlike any other headset I have owned. My son has used it as well and we have been “fighting” for headset time. I plan on getting him this for Christmas! The sound quality is superb. The sound is so crisp and clear that you actually feel that you are an actual character within the game and not just a player. These could also be used to listen to music or view a movie.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Booming Sound with comfort to match!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As far as my gaming headsets go, this is without a doubt one of the most comfortable. The over-the-ear canister design rests on your head so easily that I haven't yet felt fatigue with it. That's not to say that "it doesn't even feel like it's there" - you can tell they're on your head, but it's a comfortable fit. The sound on these is great - it also depends on how your EQ is set up, but the sounds are BOOMING on these with a great bass and overall great sound quality (Currently listening to Resurrections from Celeste and the sound is just pure bliss). My only worry is about the microphone. I'm not quite sure what's going on, but you have to push it in and pull it out and what feels like a reel. The microphone is flexible enough that it doesn't seem like it will break from repeated pushes and pulls, but it just seems like a flimsy design. I do like that you are able to almost fully retract the mic to make this seem like just a pair of headphones, though. Another great feature is the USB connectivity. It's nice not being stuck with a aux. jack and able to keep all speaker sound sources on my computer active as well. The volume control and mute are in a perfect place on the wire as well - not too far from the headset, but close enough that you don't have to go searching for it. The sound cancellation is amazing as well. Again, listening to music at a decent level, and I cannot hear my fingers snapping a foot from my ear. Overall, if you're looking for a great sounding and comfortable pair of headphones, look no further. There's are AMAZING!
Pros: Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

I am OBSESSED with this headset!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I LOVE the OMEN Blast Headset! It's lightweight, comfortable, and the sound is *chef's kiss* beautiful. The headset itself is soft and extremely comfortable (I can wear it for hours and it's still comfortable). The overall quality is fantastic!
