Alot of quality headsets that range in the +$100 tend to only come with a clip-on mike or none at all (Seinhessers and Siberia) which, clip-on's I really do not like to use. The sound quality in them for gaming is extraordinary, but for people who listen to music it may not suite their need.I enjoy the concept of the microphone being pulled out, and I'm actually lucky it's there. They are large, and comfy thus, they keep my ears warm and tend to hate to take them off because of it. I was lucky enough to get one that was not defective on the first try.Just as a note, some things that can become defective are:- The wiring in the headset will make the sound disappear, or it will just crackle (Like the previous reviewer stated)- It was been known for the microphone to stop recieving, but it seems that they fixed that in the V2.- The ear pad foam is looseAnyways, these headsets are a mixed reaction for me. But they are reluctant to believe that the headset is defective and do not return it.Truthfully, if your smart enough to learn to use RMA's, it's a great headset. Audio related things are called Sound, mouse surfaces are called pads, and keyboards are called keys.These headsets have a high defection rate, which is why many people tend to rate them badly. The company is steel, and it was different branches. Note: This product is actually called Steel Sound, I have no idea why NCIX calls it SteelPad. various sound settings were used as I thought it was just a configuration problem but nothing could make them sound even remotely decent.
But they sounded so incredibly bad that I'm absolutely astonished. which I would not recommend to anyone either. For reference, we tested against Plantronics. plugging the original ones into the USB dongle from these gave sound that was vastly superior to the 5H V2's. onboard sound with the original cans sounded WAY better. anyway, these sound HORRIBLE!! We tried them out on the Left 4 Dead 2 demo using my own cans (which are a piece of crap) and these. no shipping, and they were only $3 more than NCIX's sale price). they were on sale so I thought I would jump at the chance to get them at a good price (later I checked a local place, i.e. I purchased these last Thursday and had the opportunity to test them at a friends' place over the weekend (he had raved to me about these headphones a few times over the past few months).
