My last model broke down after about 10 months, but it has a lot of hardships endured by then and that speaks in turn for the good workmanship. In terms of sound, the headset when it comes to games and multimedia, a good all-rounder. The sound may not keep with with expensive models, but the sound is confirmed as in various test's and Reviews very balanced. This concerns especially the lows, mids and highs are tuned properly for the model. You quickly get used to the sound in music games and movies, and you have a short time even enjoy listening on. The headset comes with a reasonable voice quality for VoIP. My counterpart in Skype or Teamspeak understand me loud and clear, and that even without microphone gain. For this I would like to say something to Tragekonfort. For larger ears (like mine) presses the headset after about 4-6 hours. Then it is advisable to either remove the headset for a time, or the strap until the end pull away so that the headset easy on the ears auflieg. If necessary you can also try the earpads exchanged for larger ones. I forgive 5/5 star :-)
