There weren't any reviews of this headset available when I purchased it. I have owned many different gaming headsets in the past and this is by far the lowest quality headset I have ever purchased. The mic has been the major problem. You have to place it nearly in your mouth to be audible. I have tested it with different applications and computers with the same results. The adjustment on the left earpiece no longer locks in place and completely slides up and down. I hate buying products where it is completely obvious that the manufacturer was trying to maximize profits while completely disregarding their product quality. I would estimate $5 in electronics, $5 in materials, $5 in manufacturing & packaging. Thanks SteelSound, I now know what to expect in your products and will not be purchasing another one again. At least you saved me $100 on your mouse.
