Summary: Good speakers, bad microphone
Review: Good solid speakers with the quality you could expect from a low cost Yamaha product. The sound is even better if you plug them into the base of your external powered speakers or system. The microphone, on the other hand, is of a very bad quality. It's hard to install and has very limited mobility. I returned mine after a day because it was just too annoying.

Summary: OK for gaming, but...
Review: I ordered this pair of headphones with microphone so I could talk to my teammates while playing multiplayer games online while using the Roger Wilco software. The set works alright for this purpose. The microphone picks up my voice fairly well. However, attaching the mic to the headset was somewhat difficult, and I thought I would break it in the process (very tight fit & cheap plastic.) As for the sound quality, it is adaquate for online gaming, however, they they don't put out very much bass at all. A cheap $... pair of headphones can be purchased at any electronics store which will produce a bit better sound quality (but no microphone.)
