To be totally honest after buying several different headsets that everybody swore by and being constantly disappointed in their quality or features I gave up. I told myself that if something was good enough for Shroud, it was good enough for me.I was right.Right out of the box they just feel like a quality product. The earcups are comfortable and very soundproof, not to mention it comes with an extra set of them. The volume control button on them scrolls smoothly, is large and easy to locate, and actually integrates with the windows volume control for smooth and seamless volume adjustment.The headset has a good range of adjustment, and can fit on both my head and my SOs perfectly. The headset is very much noise cancelling, which is great in the event you don't live alone. Now I can hear all the little details in games even with my SO yelling at her DnD party in the same room.Sound quality is great as well. Sure they aren't $800 Sennheiser super pro open backed headphones for audiophiles, but they are still the best sounding out of any of the headsets I've used previously. The only thing I can make note of is that they have a very, VERY faint white noise in the background when no audio is being played. Total non-issue since you really have to focus on it to even perceive it.The other features on the headset are all just very practical. The power switch is actually a switch, not just some button you have to hold down until it powers on. Same goes for the mute button, not only is it an actual switch that pops in and out, it has both a tactile 'click' when you toggle it as well as a digital audio cue that plays from the headset to alert you if it's muted or not.Wireless! This is the first wireless headset that I've enjoyed, and I've tried quite a few of them. The range on them is fantastic, the only place in my house where they have an intermittent connection is downstairs across the house in the kitchen if I'm near the fridge. I can be anywhere in the house and still have flawless audio, even into the backyard. I can certainly say you will not have range related issues with these things. The battery life seems fantastic as well, but the real test is how long the battery will hold a charge in a couple of years.The biggest con is honestly the mic, and really people make it out to be a much bigger problem than it actually is. Yeah, I wouldn't record music with the mic this thing has but for gaming and discord it is 100% fine. Nobody in my discord has complained about my mic quality, like they have with many other headsets or microphones.Overall I can really say I've been impressed thus far. I did not think I would fall in love with these headphones like I have.
