I needed a new headset for Skyping for a telecommute job, and this one came highly recommended.I've since been using for video chatting and gaming.It works very well for gaming. The ear pads are comfy for long sessions, and the microphone is very clear.It's not a glamorous or expensive, but it works great. 

Question: What is the quality of the microphone like on this?
Answer: The ear pads are comfy for long sessions
