Mad Catz E.S. PRO 1 Gaming Earbuds for PC, Consoles & Mobile Devices

Very solid set of earphones. The inline mic works really well,mute switch, and a detachable mic as well. The sound is really clear with a lot of bass considering they're earbuds.

First off, don't underestimate how annoying the 6 ft of wire is. In the first days the cable is going to be extremely annoying, but after a week you'll get used to it. The earbuds themselves feel like cheap plastic. The audio itself is good for the price. As someone that uses earbuds for around 7-10 hours a day, your ears will hurt. After three months of use, the left earbud stopped working. The volume control was a bit janky. When you lower the volume it kinda messes up the audio difference in both earbuds (in one earbud music is louder than in the other). Overall, the earbuds are good for gaming, but if you are planning to take them to school or to exercise I'd recommend earbuds with a shorter wire or wireless as 6 ft is a bit overkill. Sound quality wise, you are getting what you paid for.

Well, these headphones barely lasted 2 months of moderate use. I play a few hours of ps4 most evenings, I don't have kids or anyone sharing these either. I am very disappointed that the left earbud just completely stopped working. So on ps4 the only way to use these now as a mic when gaming is to set the sound output to all audio. This means all audio, game sound, chat sound all comes through one earbud now. This makes for terrible gaming sessions while using these. What a complete waste of money.

Overall headset is not too bad, just not very comfortable at all. Wore them for about 40 minutes and ears started to feel irritated. Even changed out the cushions they send in the package and that still didn't help. I think the main reason behind the discomfort is the fact that the plastic part of the ear bud that inserts into your ear is alil too big. Or it could just be my ears lol. Either way, not meant for gaming, maybe more for phone use.

These earbuds are of great quality, if you're looking to use them for more personal use than gaming (walking around to use with your phone) it can be somewhat awkward due to the 2 meter long cable. They also work great though, and I love the 2 mics. I use the detachable mic when gaming and when I use them for everyday stuff I use the built-in mic. The rubber hook that actually goes in your ear isn't uncomfortable, and it really does help the earbud stay in place. I've used them for workouts and running and the earbud stayed in, and never once slipped off. As far as sound fidelity, they're great. The earbuds also do a very good job in the noise-cancelling department, which is a feature that I truly enjoy. They're a great buy, specially for the price(UPDATE 4/10/2016)The green "hook" that goes inside your ears can begin to irritate the ear if you wear the product a bit too incorrectly; as previously stated the earbuds stay in perfectly fine during my workouts/runs. i haven't had the earbud completely fallout of my ear; it hasn't moved from my ear while gaming. The sound is at its best when you wear the right size earbud rubber cover, too small and there's too much outside noise penetration, too large and it can be uncomfortable. The only thing that upsets me at times is the detachable Mic. It's a great feature and I love it, but I feel that there was a lack of physics backing that attachment. Depending on how you bend the mic it can cause the left earbud to sag, which then causes the ear-hook to irritate the inner ear after long sessions. However a simple fix that I found was that I just contour the mic to my cheek and the sagging stops, as the friction between the mic and my cheek is enough to support the mic. If you;re reading the review you might also be wondering how do I exercise with a two meter cord; i have made folds with the wire so that the total cable distance is much smaller. To hold the folds I used the small wire cables that tie the average loaf of bread. I used three ties, since two left the middle dangling and the multiple lines created by the folds were exposed and created like a web that caught my hand, and other objects. I also enjoy the smaller distance since I primarily use them on the PS4 remote. Overall I am satisfied with the product, I just wish Mad Catz added different size hook, that would earn this product the coveted 5-star review.

I saw a video review of these and decided to give them a try. I absolutely love them! They stay in my ear, and feel so comfortable. The removable mic boom is a nice touch as well as the flat cable. It's a very long cable too. I really like that they have in-line volume slider and mic mute. The silicone hook is so soft and keeps them from falling out of my ears unlike other headsets I have had in the past. Plus, they match my green/black themed desktop, including: Razer BlackWidow Ultimate Stealth 2014 gaming keyboard, Matrix screensaver, and even my super awesome black and green Toothbrush (which I use for cleaning computer parts)! Oh yeah!

Bought for $14 from amazon warehouse deals. Arrived missing the "in ear stabilizers," and unable to produce any low/bass tones. Higher treble and mid tones were really crisp and clear. Couldn't judge fit because of missing parts.I really liked the boom mic, and was told by teammates that it was very clear.I initially filed to return this headset, but ultimately kept it for spare parts to use with the ThermalTake model instead.(Tt eSPORTS ISURUS PRO Detachable Microphone In-Ear Gaming Headset (HT-ISF-ANIBBK-19)) I liked this boom mic better because it's so much more adjustable than the thermaltake one, and where else would i ever find a replacement boom mic for $14, plus extra set of rubber ear gasket things too.The Mad Catz item I received had been opened, and was broken. It should not have been resold. If it worked as well as the ThermalTake headset I bought instead then I would have loved it. Still a great price for use as replacement parts.
