I purchased these from the tiny wooded place after reading many reviews stating that the sound quality was great and the 10hr battery life. The blue neon light didn't interest me! Although I have seen mention of some people having problems with discomfort but only with larger head sizes. I received the item about 3 days ago and after opening the box I was pleasantly surprised by the head set build quality. But from then on I had the odd concern, especially with the tight fitting as I was led to believe that it could be bed in as most new items can be a little bit tight.

Through testing a multitude of music sound tracks and gaming quality I was blown away, the quality was simply incredible. I've never heard such supreme sound through a head set before and being able to hear the music still while wearing them in the garden was sublime.

The Microphone quality is pretty damn good as well, with many of my friends on Teamspeak hearing me loud and clear!

However this is when it all went down hill, the discomfort was actually getting worse the longer I wore them. I even tried to give it that extra stretch by leaving it over a speaker but this didn't help. There is no way to adjust the headset, the plastic is just for extra support and show and the leather support has wire inserts which are so tight it would only really be beneficial for a child's head. I have a medium sized skull not a big one but it didn't matter, as since wearing them I've had neck pain, migraines, the feeling of my skull being crushed and my ears very sore. I've never had such pain from a headset before, yet the sound quality was as I said perfect.

I've had them for enough for a good bit of testing, however wearing them for longer than just an hr is a struggle. How they can say that they have been designed for gaming marathons I don't know.

Thus I'm getting the company to take them back, it's a massive shame but i'd gladly buy a different set if it wasn't for that awful leather wired band :(
