Comfortable for long sessions, with several owners saying comfort is noticeably better than the Cloud II despite the added weight
Strong value at the roughly $39-40 price point, called the best bang-for-buck wireless gaming headset in its class

Owners complain about

Out-of-the-box sound is flat, muffled, dull, or watery until owners apply an EQ
Directional/positional audio in competitive FPS games (footsteps, gunfire location) is weak or inconsistent for some owners
