S500 Black Gaming Headphones (EG04-04E012-01)

I listen to music all day long at work with these headphones. These tune me out from the rest of my environment and provide excellent sound. Also the cord is very long, which allows me to walk around my cubicle without having to take them off. Cheap, good quality/performance, comfortable, good looking... I couldn't be happier. If I had one criticism, it would be that they are a bit large. But the size helps keep unwanted sounds out... so I don't really see it as an issue really. = P Can't have EVERYTHING. = P Also, I should add that I own about 6 pairs of headphones, more expensive and less expensive... these are my favorite by far.

This product may be for games but it is awespme on music. I listen to everything from football games on the computer to music and the sound is great.

Having some experience with a variety of headphones (everything from the lousy stock ipod earbuds to my Sennheiser hd580's), I can honestly say that in my opinion, these have a decent sound, gaming or otherwise. As with many gaming headphones, the bass takes center stage with these. Mids and highs can occasionally seem a bit 'covered' sound-wise, but rap and rock has a good, powerful punch. My few experiences gaming with them were also positive. Looking at the physical product, one major asset is the light weight. The visually bulky size belies a comfortable, light headphone. Finally, Everglide included a microphone in the package (which I have yet to test). It seems unnecessary, but considering the low overall price (I found these for around $25) it is a welcome inclusion, as is the included headphone bag. One major complaint I have with them is their styling. Yes, these aren't headphones you'd take around with you to the gym, but the logo looks ugly and is unnecessarily large on the sides, as do two small wires on each side right above the earpiece. Similarly, the construction of the headphone seems on the cheaper side (although I have yet to experience a problem). My one other major qualm with these is that they do not isolate all that well, despite being closed headphones, anything above moderate volume can be heard by those around you. Summarizing this up: I'd overall rate these 3.5 stars. If you don't care too much about styling, and want a bass-heavy full-sized headphone that doesn't isolate all that well, these have decent sound.

I got a one of these through WOOT and I have to admit that despite their comfort and excellent sound when plugged into an iPod or other audio device, these are not good computer headphones, which is what they're marketed as. When I used these with my PC there was a noticeable buzz from the cooling fan present that was unaffected by the system volume settings, even with the fans set at their slowest rpm, the buzz was there, though at a lower pitch. As I paid half as much through WOOT I'm only slightly upset, if I had paid full price I would have return them. Looks like they're relegated to be my "yard-work' headphone.

I've gone through several headsets in the past, these have been the most comfortable of them all. They are lightweight, comfortable even after hours of wear, and the sound quality is excellent! Sometimes having a Mic that isn't connected to the headset is handy, I leave the mic connected to the computer and disconnect the headphones for other uses. They're a bit bulky, so if you travel a lot you may opt for something more portable, but for gaming or listening to audio, you can't go wrong with these. I simply have nothing bad to say about this headset.
