2nd pair - Altec Lansing
rating: 4
My second pair of Altec Lansing headphones. Loved my first pair but rolled over cord to many times so I wanted to replace with same name brand. These were a step up from older pair, which I had used a lot over 3 years. Comfortable, full ear cover. Great for gaming & voice over IP. Love the controls, volume and mic/mute control.
Only con is you need 1-AAA battery for the "surround sound booster", which you can turn on & off at will. Found that it has to be on for mic use, headphones will still work. Tip: don't forget to turn off when not using or you will kill the battery. Not a big fan of needing and replacing batteries for a pair of headphones.

Not Bad, Not Perfect Either
rating: 3
Good Sound Quality and people easily understand me over the microphone. The microphone also is on a pivot so it is easy to move out of the way when not in use.
The simulated surround sound is of marginal usefulness. If you are not utilizing any type of voice chat it is great. However, I have noticed a decrease in voice sound quality with the surround turned on.
They are comfortable for long term play, IF you do not wear glasses. They can be rather painful after only a short period of time if you do. This is a fairly common problem with all headsets though.
There is a volume control in the middle of the cord that is a little bulky and can get annoying. It also has the switch on it to turn the surround on/off. On the upside though, the headset appears very durable as it still works fine after being launched across the room multiple times when the volume control got caught on my clothing and I tried to walk away.
Overall its a good headset, but you can probably get the same sound quality much cheaper. I actually have a $15 pair of Sony headphones that gives equal or better sound quality, but alas, no microphone.

Good Could use some comfort
rating: 4
Quality of the headset is great, sounds wonderful. I find I don't use the SRS very often if at all. The comfort of them could be a little more improved, i've had it for a while now and it really hasn't improved a whole lot. It's not bad until after about 2-3 hours, but for those of us that play long periods of time it gets annoying.

Best you'll get for that price
rating: 5
While admittedly not the best headphones i've ever owned, for that price, you can't beat'm. The sound quality without the SRS surround on is decent and plenty clear for games of music, if you can live with little bass. And for those familiar with the SRS technology, you'll find that this may be the only time that synthetic surround sound through two speakers has ever been properly implemented. True, it may not sound as good as the latest $xxx speaker system from l******, but it does provide a much improved spatial awareness in games and movies, and with some tweaking, can be used to add the bass back to your music. BTW, it's awesome for Unreal 2004 and CS:S, so I give it a 5 out of 5 stars.
