It sounds great overall, wireless range is decent, it can cut out a lot near wireless routers though. I noticed over time my mic has become loose which is easy enough to fix by taking the removable padding off, unscrewing the panel bit and tightening it up again, an easy fix, however this bears the same issues the 430s do in regards to the rotating speakers, the band that goes around your head is metal and very sturdy, however this rotating pieces, being as important as they are, are actually plastic and easy to break. It's been a little while since I bought these, maybe over a year or so now? All of these headset types suffer from the same cheap plastic on very integral points of the headset. Overall build quality is pretty okay but I cannot recommend this pricing to anyone who can't throw away money simply for the novelty of it.



Pros:

1. Thick metal band through headset to keep it sturdy



2. Good sound, 7.1 when set correctly sounds great to me, much better than standard stereo



3. Comfortable and relatively light, although I do weightlifting and my neck is pretty thick so take that with a grain of salt, I do not feel it however



4. Decent wireless range, I can go from my room (bungalow) to the kitchen, living room, toilet or wherever and still have these going more or less problem free unless *see cons*



5. removable material on the padding for the ears, it's really great for cleaning it and maintenance.



6. Good charge, lasts a good long time

Cons:



1. The wireless will absolutely cut out when near a wireless router or something emitting a heavy wireless signal like getting called on skype on your phone etc.



2. The padding on the headset will flake off over time, it's not particularly resistant to sweat so make sure to wipe it down if it's a hot day, the material padding on a 430s (had those too at one point) was much more durable, it'd get dirtier for sure but it could be washed thoroughly.



3. Weak plastic joints, this is the biggest let down of the product in my opinion and the reason why I give it 3 stars and feel quite "meh" about it, it feels relatively sturdy and good overall, however the joints did fail on me today by popping out and coming apart, placing it back into the socket it belongs is a no go and there's really no way to fix it once this happens, there really should be a metal joint with the band.



Overall it's a satisfying product to use, build wise however it won't last you 2 years if you use it as much as I do (which is a lot). I would suggest them making the joints much stronger, place some metal rotational joints or at the very least make the material around them much stronger. I took good care of my headset, didn't throw it down, regularly charged it and kept it out of the way during periods of non-use. I would not recommend it at this price it's currently at (I got mine way cheaper from amazon, not sure what they're playing at with this.).
