Sennheiser PC151 -  : -
The Good:- In-Line Volume/Mic Mute
- Crystal Clear Mic
- Good Bass
The Bad:- Uncomfortable after a certain amount of time due to the nature of the headphones.
- Thin cord, thinner than my first $12 eBay headset.
- Mediocre build quality.
- Expensive.
The Review:
I bought this headset on impulse and never looked back. It's relatively comfortable, but due to the way the earcups are this can be different from person to person. With all headphones/headsets you will bound to experience a little discomfort. The bass is great, I've always used the cheapest of the cheapest audio equipment because I never gave a crap about audio, but this really changed my perspective. The microphone on this is crisp and clear, I recorded myself and there was little to no background noise at all. The mic is also adjustable so you can set it as close or as far away from your mouth as possible. Unfortunately, the cord is THIN! Emphasis on THIN!! If you buy these you better be careful with them, I tripped over them just now and they broke. 
Summary: I'm going to grab myself a Sennheiser HD555 in a moment and a desktop microphone, headsets are great and all but the quality just doesn't cut. If you're looking at Razer, more specifically the Razer Piranha then go for these instead. Same exact shape and specs, but I have no need for cheap LED lighting and prefer Sennheiser quality, or sound quality to be exact because the build quality was lacking.
