SteelSeries 3Hv2 Gaming Headset for PC, Mac, Tablets, and Phones

I have been using this headset and its' other versions for years, they are a simple headset, but allow me to perform in some situations better than professional competition in games. I have a smaller head, and a lot of headsets give me migraines, or hurt my ears, these are perfect, their adjustment is easy, the padded top just altogether makes for a perfect, comfortable fit-even for those rainy days where i'm being lazy for hours. In game I can on some maps hear footsteps across the map, or even the magazine exchange on a gun, allowing me a leg up, and music sounds great. There is some sound cancellation, in fact even when low I often can't hear someone talking to me in the same room. The product itself is made well, they didn't cut corners on quality, from the heavy chord, to the over head padding, and the cushions on the ear piece, nothing feels or look cheap, and it holds up for a long time. My last set I had for 3 years traveling, and they only broke because I shut them in a door. I highly recommend these as both a budget, and comfortable headset for younger kids, or adults who maybe are a little challenged to find a comfortable headset in a world where everything seems made for giants.

Update: These aren't holding up. A plastic piece on the left ear cracked and the headset is no longer a tight fit, almost slides off your head. The mic has completely stopped working, don't know why.Yeah.. Okay, I felt like I wouldn't have a complaint for this headset, being I got it for $9, but jeez, I feel my ears crying "Take it off!" every 30 minutes. My ears feel so pressed from these and man are they small. I have a pretty small head too, but I guess not small enough. These fit, really tight, like tight. My ears get pretty warm in a matter of minutes as well.Aside from all that, it's got a great microphone, good sound, and looks cool. Personal preference I hate the cord being on the right earpiece.Honestly, if have a medium sized head, do not get this. If you have a large head, leave the page.

I have one gripe and one gripe only about this headset. The cord is too short. My tower sits on the floor under the desk. Not at all an uncommon configuration I think, and they only barely reach, like I can't even lean back. I just ordered a couple of 3ft 3.5mm extension cables, should fix that right up.Aside from that they sound rather good, it seems to be able to hit all your ranges well, even gives some good bass. I can't wear any over the ear headset for too long without taking them off for a few minutes and these are no exception, but I find they are comfortable for much longer than most.They seem to be of decent quality. It's all plastic but rather flexible. The cord isn't braided or anything but the insulation seems fairly thick. And the retractable mic is actually nice.In short, if you're looking for a good quality stereo headset/mic combo then you can't go wrong here.

The actual headphones don't go around the ears and despite the "Gaming" title in the name, using these for long periods of time while gaming will hurt your ears for sure. Sound quality is great, and if you're using it for short bursts of Gaming then these may be a headset to consider.

I had bought these for my hubby because his headset broke. Upon receiving said item and opening it, my heart sank. This headset is just entirely too small. It barely fit my head, let alone his! This should honestly be marketed for kids. Needless to say I had to return it.

Zoolander quotations aside, I guess I should have expected the headphones to be tiny given their "travel" capabilities. However, they are ridiculously small. Even more than I imagined. They barely fit ON my ears, let alone around them, and I am simply an average-sized adult. Even when pulling the headphones as large as they can go, I still feel "squished" after about an hour of use (or less).That's the main "well, s***" point for these headphones. If you can look past it, though, they are AMAZING. They're certainly not flimsy, to that's a plus. The sound quality and simulated surround-sound are probably the best I've ever heard, no matter the price range. The recording and transmission quality on the microphone is also leagues ahead from the competition.All in all, I'd definitely recommend them in terms of their function. They're outstanding. You just have to be tiny in order to wear them comfortably.

Great for the price! Good sound and comfortable. The volume and mic mute is on the cord. The cord is on the right ear cup and not on the left like many others. I am no audiophile, but to me music sounds great with these. The sling head mount is really comfortable. It is an on ear design and I thought I would not like it, but it is more comfortable than I thought it would be. If you are looking for a headset and don't know what to buy, buy these to get some kind of a bearing as to what you really want.As to the other reviews that they are small, they are meant to be an on ear design and not an over ear design.

These headphones were designed for kids. That is the only reasoning I can think of for them being so small.They are very tight on the ear, small ear cups, and perhaps most annoying, a very short cable. The microphone that pulls out of the side is very flimsy.I only give two stars because they sound decent. At $20 I took a chance on these, but I would not recommend.
