It hurt my ears a little bit but it was just something that took time for the ear pieces to adjust. Right now I'm using a Sennheiser - which was a gift and fairly expensive from what I understand, so it's not on the top of my recommended list. But I've honestly never had better.

That said, I'm super rough on all my hardware, and that headset is not meant to be lugged to work and back. I, uh, cracked the headband in two. Luckily the wires are intact and I can perch it on my head over both ears until I can work up the courage to superglue the thing back together.

I personally use Technica's ATH-A900x headphones and have a standalone mic that I bring out when I need to actually talk to others in a game. Since I tend to avoid voice chat when possible, I preferred having pure headphones for music most of the time. They do however have a full line of gaming headsets if you are the kind of person that is on TeamSpeak every day.

If you would like a place to read some reviews as well as decent forums to ask questions from audiophiles, Head-Fi is a decent community.

It sits comfortably and really does negate any background noise you could want (as in you only hear your game and in amazing quality). If you find it necessary to hear people outside your headset even sitting three feet from you, good luck.

The mic worked well for me until my cat decided the cord was a chew toy and it stopped working (headphones still do though and I use a Blue Snoball mic now). My husband's (who uses the same headset) tends to pick up 'wind noise' from fans in the room, I didn't have that problem with mine.

I like that it uses an optical input and RF transmitter so I can pipe in Bluetooth simultaneously, ie. game audio + music/phone, with separate volume adjustment. Full surround sound, good noise reduction, comfortable padding, wireless with a good battery. That said, if better/as good exists for less money, someone please tell me. XD

Steelseries

I just find it annoying, mostly because I'm lazy and mine are plugged in at all times. Used to scare the bejesus out of me when I'd wake up at night to find my computer had turned on to update and the hallway was illuminated by a bright blue pulsating glow like something out of poltergeist.
