As soon as I saw that these had released, I purchased them. I was already in the market for a new headset and these really attracted me. The sound is very full and even all the way across. Not too much bass or treble. These speakers are the same speakers that are in Steelseries $300+ headphones. Microphone is the best built in mic I've used. I'll take these over Clouds every day.

What's the difference between the 3 and the 5?
The 5's have RGB illumination and use a USB instead of analog for the plug in. 3 uses analog with no RGB.
