    • Not as comfortable as the Xbox One Stereo Headset, but the sound is better

    • The sound is good enough to 95% of people(though it could use some more bass)
    • Clear sound and the mic works well
    • So I ended up sending these back not because they weren't amazingly comfortable, sounded great, had a fantastic microphone, or were built like a damn tank
    • The straw that broke the camel's back on these which led me to return them is that they had a squeaking sound around the earcups which seemed to get a lot worse as time went on, and just doesn't seem appropriate for a $200 headset; it made them feel cheap

    • Sound was good as usual
    • The open or vented ear cups keep my ears nice and cool for long gaming sessions while still providing incredible sound

    • My Sony Gold has 7.1 sound and is wireless, just I don't use it for chat as the mic isn't as good as Senn Game One.

    • and I have forgotten that music can sound so much nicer using "pure" headphones without the noise canceling feature: the sound is much "softer", with more natural mid-range and without the obnoxious "bose bass"
    • I bought these to use as regular headphones for my computer, and as someone who appreciates good sound, I was somewhat let down
    • I got the closed ones for that slight better sound.
    • Noises sound like they should and there is very little coloring

    • Of course, the sound is amazing with these
    • The sound is crisp and clear
    • I do not know the wattage on the headphones, but it is probably not much because even a 25 db gain through my DMA-50 amp running in stereo was too much for these guys; I was hearing weird static sounds and it was much too loud even at the lowest volume setting
    • You need a separate mini amp (that's suggested) in order to boost and enhance the sound

    • Great sound
    • For the sound, the important part - the sound is great
    • , I'm no audiophile, I don't listen to music, just wanted decent sound and a microphone that didn't suck.

    • The sound is great!
    • The razer Tiamat 7.1, great surround sound and comfort, but horrible stereo mode

    • The steelseries Serbias have a terrible mic, overwhelming bass and very mediocre sound and are super uncomfortable
    • the One offers around 30 degrees of movement in the arms that hold the earcups.-The hinges about the earcups are only plastic this time but seem suitably strong, with the force from several aggressive twists being absorbed by the flexible headband-Watching movies is amazing, and music sounds warm and clarity is solid
