A Great Headset for a Great Price!
By stevo0416
The first thing that I noticed about this headset which makes it stand out by far is the comfort. The ear cushions are made of an extremely soft fabric that have a smooth "pillow-like" feel when they're on your ears. Inside the cushions is some sort of memory foam that isn't as firm as the padding in most headsets that I've tried in the past. Another very important feature is the overall weight. I've used these for several continuous hours while I'm at work with no strain on my ears. Although these are not advertised as noise cancelling headphones, they perform just as good if not better at blocking out noise than some actual noise canceling headphones that I've owned in the past. Its also nice not having to keep an eye on battery life like I did for those previous noise canceling sets.The sound quality is fantastic for handling songs with lots of bass. I tend to play around with the equalizer on my music players to really make the bass hit hard, and these can handle my strenuous adjustments very well, which is VERY VERY important to me. If I crank the volume enough to where it feels like the headphones/earpads are actually vibrating themselves on my ears and have no distortion, then they definitely get 5 stars for performance in my book. The volume adjustment wheel is also a very nice feature for when I'm blasting my ears out at work and someone taps me on my shoulder. Its perfect because I typically don't want to remove my headphones while they're blasting so people don't know what I'm listening to or how deaf they think I will be in the next 10 years. So now instead of fumbling for my mouse to find the volume adjustments on my media player, I can just lower the volume on the actual headphones while I'm about to take them off. PERFECT!!!The headset comes with a very compact carry case which works perfectly for going to and from work to home. If you're considering getting these headphones, I would highly recommend you get the entire gaming bundle which allows you to use these on Xbox Live. It's also PS3 online compatible for all you PS3 users. This is when the retractable microphone comes into play. It's fully adjustable and can be positioned in literally any direction that you want. The Negotiator adapter mounts onto the bottom of your Xbox 360 controller similar to how the old school Xbox mics were designed. I hate how most volume controls for other headsets are attached somewhere on the cable where they dangle around and get snagged up on anything and everything. The Negotiator has a game volume/chat volume mixer that is right at your fingertips while playing.Overall, these are great headphones that are extremely versatile, and I would definitely recommend them to anyone that is looking for quality sound performance for in office use and home gaming use without having to shell out hundreds of dollars.

By dylan B
i bought this item for 30 dollars and its a great fantastic deal for that amount the sound quality is amazing but my only boggle with these is you have to buy an adapter to hook it to your ps3 or xbox i wish it would come included but oh well good price for a good headset.

By Prius Hugger
Temptation from its sleek and sophisticated design is what initially caught my attention while researching headsets online. I love playing music and games for extended periods of time and tend to use a headset all day at work. I decided to try, "The Specialist," to see if its product features match up to its pretty face.Here's what makes it not just something nice to look at and actually something quite special:First, the comfortability of the headset is amazing. Feels like soft pillows on my ears while in the middle of a warzone in enemy territory.Second, the circular star shaped buttons on the side are a convenient feature for quick volume and mic control. No one wants to have to pause the game to adjust the volume and lose an arm or match in the process.Third, sound quality is crisp and REAL. I can listen to anything from jazz to punk rock, my sister on Skype, and Nazi Zombie K-9s, without losing the sound quality of the instruments, my sister, or the bark.Fourth, the headset folds up to fit nicely into its own carrying case, which makes it great to tag along with you anywhere, i.e. plane rides, trains, buses, roadtrips, camping, long lines at theme parks, etc....Lastly, "The Specialist," is all I could have asked for from Nox to provide in a multimedia playing headset. Just wish it came in blizzard pearl, periwinkle, or pink...I'm just saying!Built for extended wear and long hours of gaming/music playing/online chatting, I wouldn't mind falling asleep in its pillowed earphones after a long night of Halo in the barricades.
