    I recently bought this headset at best buy for 30$ total to use for ut 2004. i thought i would do a quick review of it. the first thing you might notice about it is that the headphones are open, they have vents abouve and below them. Despite this they still provide decent sound and volume, although i don't know how much ear sweat is going to effect your gaming proformance, let alone if it is really a problem or even exists. they are nonetheless very comfterble, i wore them for about two hours and didn't even notice them, which is more then i can say for some headphones. One thing i like about them is that you can control the volume using a little slider in the middle of the wire, which is kind of handy, although it doesn't block sound out all the way. you can also shut the mike off from there. this is good for people who own dells like me, our sound adjustment buttons don't work in some games, i can see it coming in handy alot. the mike itself swivles up and down, but now foward and back. the headphones are designed to go behind your head, instead of on top. They also don't adjust size, but i don't see that as being a problem, they fit fine on me and i can't really imagin them not fitting well on anyone. people seemed to have no trouble understanding me on this mike. all in all i think it was a good deal, considering other mikes were going for twice as much. They don't fold and are pretty bulky, so traveling with them might be hard.

    pros
    cheap
    cool looking
    very comfterble
    controls to change volume and mike on/off located on wire

    cons
    lack of adjustments for size and mike (but this doesn't seem to be a problem)
    bulky/ don't fold
