When I got the package, I couldn't wait to open it. Here sat this gleaming, black monster of a headset, just beckoning me to put it on. After getting it out of the package, I was amazed to find that the cords that connect the headset to the computer aren't just coated in that black rubber junk - they are coated with a braided nylon fabric that is less likely to get tangled and break. To me, this is awesome as I'm always rolling over the cords no matter how hard I try. Also, the cords have connections about two and a half feet from the headset itself so you can plug the set into your speakers or another short range socket and not have a massive amount of cord hanging around, getting tangled and getting in your way. To my knowledge, there aren't any others like this out there and this is one awesome aspect.
The headset itself is extremely lightweight, even though it looks like it could easily weigh a ton. The headset has several areas where there are free-floating, adjustable joints so that this headset will easily fit anyone's head comfortably. The padding on the top of the headset is awesome as well, and even after wearing these for hours at a time, I never got a headache nor did I get that sore feeling that you always have when you've worn those plain plastic headsets for too long.
Around the ears is no different, as the padding here is awesome as well. But, here is the big difference - the padding allows

the earpieces to fit around your entire ear, providing optimal sound quality and drowning out background noise.
Ok, this next one took my blonde self a bit to find - the microphone. This little guy is actually hidden up in the left earpiece itself. It pulls down and is adjustable so that you can easily fit it to sit comfortably in front of your mouth.
Overall, this headset deserves way higher than a 5, but it gets the top rating from me in overall quality, a 5 out of 5.
