Altec Lansing fails to impress here.......2007-10-17
I was disappointed in these headphones. The audio quality in and out is decent for the price but a few disadvantages should make you look elsewhere for your headset.
1. Comfort: The floating speaker design doesn't work as well as one might hope. The set gets uncomfortable after about 30 minutes. Maybe more padding would have helped.
2. 3-D?: When I turned the feature on things seemed to sound a bit better but I'd hesitate to call it 3-D. Not really worth touting. It sounds more like a gain setting than 3-D.
3. Inconvenience: The "3-D" module, which resides mid-line and has a built-in volume control, needs a AA battery to operate. This battery also seems to powers the mic. So if the battery dies... no microphone and no 3-D effect. At least that's how mine seems to work, or rather, not work.
Keeping in mind the old adage "You get what you pay for.", these are not horrible, but were I you, I'd spend a few more bucks and go up a rung in quality.
Looks good, but far from it........2007-08-13
I tried these headphones, and wow...I am so disappointed in the quality of the headphones. Altec Lansing is known for some good qualiy products, but this isn't one of them. First, the SRS "boost" battery clip is heavy and big. Why do I want this clip tugging on my wires while playing? Next, they are very uncomfortable for more than 5 min. Last, the sound quality is mediocre. The SRS isn't really SRS, just makes things louder. I ended up playing with it off. Anyway, I shipped them back this morning, and will stick with my Logitech for a while.
Thumbs Down.......2007-06-23
First off, this headset is uncomfortable. As far as I know, there is no way to adjust it so it fits one's head better, and after twenty or so minutes, it starts to hurt one's head. I had to move it to different places on my head often so it wouldn't hurt. Plus, the earphones don't wrap around the ears, they just kind of push up against them, which isn't too comfortable.
The sound quality is decent. The surround sound one can only hear if the volume is up, which is fine for me...I always turn the volume up loud. But, unless one is like me, don't bother getting these for the surround sound.
The worst thing about these, in my opinion, is the remote for the surround/volume. After only a couple weeks, the sound only worked in one ear, and I had to fiddle with where the cords plug into the remote.
The microphone, according to people I play with online, is good quality. Everyone could hear me find. It is nice that the mic is also flexible, so one can move it wherever.
Don't get this headset.
Total junk.......2007-05-07
The sound is very dodgy to begin with. The surround sound function seems to come and go. But that's not my real issue with these clunkers, my real issue is that they have to be the most uncomfortable headphones I have ever worn. I can only go about 30 minutes and I have to tear them off, for fear that they will crush my ears into unrecognizable pieces of cabbage. Previous reviews mention this problem, I ignored them, so my bad. But please heed this warning: they will crush you little ears to pulp.
Not the greatest...........2007-04-08
I bought this headset three months ago when I purchased the Burning Crusade Expansion and at first this headset was pretty nice. Over the months, it has gotten worse. THe sound at first is great, but the surround sound does not add much to my gaming. This headset does help to hear any approaching enemies in CS:S which helps me sometimes. The headset is a little uncomfortable, but only after around 13 or more hours of straight gaming.
This headset does look extremely dorky whenever I go to LAN parties and see friends around. Makes me feel like an outsider. Also, the mic will go out after about three months, in the case of mine. Everything is working properly as of now, but the mic is not. The mic boom does not move freely, it stays in the position I set it in, and I do move it quite frequently. The way the cables are set up is really annoying. The little silver box attached to the cables that "enhances" the sound quality gets in the way all the time.
I would only buy this headset if you are crazy, you do not care about looks/comfort, or you haven't yet read any reviews of this product (as in the case of I).

Great audio quality - not quite surround sound.......2007-02-08
This headset makes listening to any kind of music really enjoyable. The SRS boost is a nice feature, but serves more to amplify sounds, rather than give a total surround sound effect. Either way I still use the SRS, it makes almost every song sound better.
The inline volume control, and housing for the AAA battery required for the SRS boost is clunky making this headset a pain sometimes. The circuit board inside the housing will most likely break after a few drops, or smashes off a computer chair.
