Excellent directional sound for gaming, but it needs a lot of fiddling around with the channel volumes (turn subwoofers all the way up and keep the rest below mid-volume) for the best balance. Nowhere near the sound quality of dedicated 2-channel drivers but for competitive games it does give an edge. Only physical problem is that the ends of the adjustable headband are liable to cracking and deforming due to having extremely heavy cans. Good weight balance overall, but needs gentle handling to avoid breakage.
