Couple of things - I paid $20 during a sale, they originally sell for $60. At $20 they are a no brainer. For $60 they are still an excellent purchase. The treble and bass are outstanding, nobody has complained about the mic, and these appear to be very durable (a flexible yet sturdy rubber material). Plus the Zelda decorations look really great. I use these on the PS4 connected directly to the controller. No USB or extra power necessary (no batteries!). Even has an in-line volume control for sound (not mic). Fantastic low priced gaming headset with a mic. I searched around for weeks for "the best gaming headset" until I ran into this for a price I couldn't pass up. I quickly ended my search once I tried these. Unless you need surround sound, wireless, or the absolute best sound ever (there are probably better sounding out there, but these are excellent) you can't go wrong with the A10.
