I'm not a sound enthusiast so I can't give an expert opinion on the sound quality - but, it certainly isn't anything to complain about (as a gamer). The price was well within my range and I haven't had any issues after a few months.The headset is comfortable enough that you can wear it for several hours, the mic is up to par, and in-line audio controls are always a plus. The sound seemed a little hollow to me when I first started to use these but I would hardly say so anymore.I have two complaints about this product, first. the cord is obscenely short and will only reach the front audio jacks of a desktop. If this is not an option, then get an extension cable. Secondly, they hardly hold sound in at all. Even listening to music at a moderate level I can remove the headset and hear it a few feet away. This isn't an issue for me because I do not share the room with anyone, but if you're around someone who might be bothered then you may want to find a different headset. 

Question: How do you hear the mic?
Answer: the mic is up to par
