Advantages: Sound quality is good, easy to install

Disadvantages: Hurts ear after a few hours, can be easily breakable, quite pricey and microphone is not attached.

To start off, this product is decent. Not more or less - just decent. I paid around £35 for it - and the only improvement in sound was that bass was increased, so it gave me a better sound quality. Otherwise, it is riddled with problems.

Created and endorsed by one of the world's greatest gamers - Jonathan Wendel - the headset should instantly give the player a great experience. However, the headset is poorly designed - and other people have had problems with the equipment breaking easily. Apart from the sound, the headset may feel comfortable but after around 2 hours of using it (non-stop), it starts to hurt your ears - which will disappointing gamers who will normally spend a few hours playing with friends. The microphone is not attached to the headset either - so it means that the microphone can easily be lost.

There are very few positive features of the product - except that it is easy to install and the sound quality is better than most headsets. But, it cannot compete at the top unlike Wendel himself.

Summary: For £35 - I would give it a miss.
