On testing the headset on the pc, i found them to deliver some great bass treble and the microphone was really good clear when i tested it on teamspeak 3 and mumble.
however there was something missing in the sound overall, at times they sounded a bit flat but for value for money the headset was really good.
On the consoles (PS3 and Xbox360), they sounds just as good if not better because unlike the pc there was no times that i found they flat.

As i said before these are a really good headset for value for money, which you are looking around the ?35 mark.

Sadly, it seems these will not ship to the USA. It seems Speedlink only deals through Amazon.co.uk and there's a US shipping restriction in place. Danke mein Deutscheland.
