I am commenting because I have owned a pair of KOSS SB/49's for many years, and the ONLY problem I've had with them was that I yank the cord out of my machine one time too many and the sound now only comes from one side. But, that's my fault. These fold nicely and are very sturdy. The ear pads cover my ears and make for great sound isolation. I am online today to buy another of these KOSS SB/49 headsets. This time, though, I will look for something wireless maybe (since I'm hard on cords). Other headsets (and I've owned hundreds) are flimsy and sound awful. These are not that way at all. I love the sound, durability, comfort and styling.

Great headphone with mic with a great price for gaming and chat. Clear sound all around. You can't go wrong with Koss brand and been around for a long time. I love it.

Perfect

I have used this headset for ~5 years. Nice sound quality. Only cable cord restrict me in motions. I hope my next device will be same brand, but wireless.

Excellent value.
Overall
Got mine about a year ago and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. One year after I got them, I take the time to write a review, that's how impressed I am. I prefer listening music and films with them to my home audio system. Microphone quality is great compared to any headset microphone I have ever tried. Never had trouble with them. Microphone swings only one way. I know it's not important but sometimes I actually wanted it to point to the room. There is this SMALL problem where the headset gets hard to fold if the two sides are too high. It's really a minor problem since you can just move the sides down and then fold it. I doubt there is a better headset for the same price on the market.
Pros: Good sound quality; Comfortable;
Cons: Microphone swings only forward; Build quality
