1st gaming headset I wanted

...And it did not disappoint.
For starters, the form-follows-function design factor. Combined with a retractable, I can use it everywhere without feeling like an idiot.
I use glasses, so the materials and over ear construction was really important for me. I don't really notice if I use glasses or not with it.
2ndly, the audio quality is as good as advertised, and lastly, the noise isolating microphone actually works.
I don't know why gaming companies do so many gimmicks with their headsets, but I'm happy there's finally 1 that's just simple and good at the important stuff.
