They look very well built,awesome price on the 380s...might get me some as my current headphones are tired now. 
Hi Guys
I have come back to work after my annual leave to see a pair of the 380s on my desk.
listening to some music now, they are about as light as my Steelseries Siberia V2
sound quality of the music is brilliant, really impressive from a £30 set.
with computer headsets, I personally always look for something that is lightweight. comfort during long gaming sessions is important and this is clearly a factor that has been considered with these.
also to note, the cable with the older Gamecoms was always a little bit poor. These new ones have a superb cable length and the quality of the cable is a lot better.
This doesnt feel like a £30 set, and it certainly doesnt sound like one even using my work PC's rubbish onboard sound.
Going to try them out on a sound card later and see what improvement there is.

The headband of my 367's snapped a couple of months ago (still in warranty if I can find the original receipt and bother to get them sent back) and I replaced them with corsair hs1a'. Nice and very detailed headset but very bass light for a 50mm driver. Would have prefered to get these if they where out. Might even buy some and test them vs my hs1a's but I feel the hs1a's would be on the MM at the end of it.
Nice on I look forward to reading it. I find it annoying if I use hy hs1a's I have to turn the bass up and then if I use my logitech 5.1 surrounds I have turn the sub down when I didnt have to do this with my plantronics.
Just given them a go. superb is all I can say.
They sounded brilliant on the rubbish sound chip on my works PC motherboard, but they come alive on a sound card. really rich and vibrant.
I tested using a Xonar DX and the set remained clear and sound was precise even at louder volumes. In my opinion, they rival headsets costing over twice as much!
Definitely on my recommendation list for anyone looking for a headset, not just a budget one either!

Thing is, rich would tbh.
take a read of any of my reviews.
If something was rubbish, I would tell you.
If I dislike a product, we wouldn't sell it.
