I have have these well over a month now . these be superior headphone with superior sound quality . my primary reason for purchase these be gaming . I play America 's Army , Guild Wars , and world of Warcraft . in America 's Army I be able to hear footstep and people reload from a far greater distance than with my Zalman 5.1 's -lrb- which be $ 90 -rrb- or with my Logitech open ear headphone . the accuracy of the shot be even better than my 5.1 's . which be amazing consider there be only 2 speaker in the 555 set . I could hear footstep behind I and spin around before they come around the corner , in insurgent Camp I could be typing on the upstairs pc and distinctly hear people in the radio room or in the garage . even though they be not design for gaming they play the part better than any of those under $ 100 gaming headset you find in most store .
