Those speaker drivers are quite good for bringing out detail in your audio. I played quite a lot of Control with these on and the ambient sounds really helped immerse you in that game world. But I was curious how something I was more familiar to hearing would sound so I switched to some music and found that indeed the clarity was pretty much across the range meaning I was getting a decent bit of bass but still able to make out the finer sounds, the singing and in some cases some background sounds in the tracks.

Flexibility is very important in any head mounted device… I think of myself as having a pretty big noggin so it’s good to be able to open the headset up to accommodate that… then when my son grabbed the headphones for some PS4 gaming he was able to simply shrink it down to fit his head. The same goes for the mic boom which I have to say is one of the nicer feeling ones I’ve come across (primarily I’ve only used those cheapish grey mike sticks so I’m not really comparing it to high quality… but still)… the boom feels nice and solid but has a good flexibility to it meaning that you can position it where you are comfortable and not have to worry about it slowly drooping or moving out of position.

The audio controls attached to the headset cable are nice and handy too for quick adjustment of volume and switching the mic on or off depending on your preference.

The only issue I really had was with the ear cushions and to be honest I don’t think that’s an issue with the headset so much as it’s a problem with my head/ears. I tend to find with this style of headphones that after a while my ears get uncomfortable… I don’t know whether it’s because my ears are just slightly too large for the cups or if there’s another reason but they can get a little achy after a while… having said that, I didn’t really keep track of time but I did get quite a lot of play with them on before really noticing any issue… so these are pretty good all things considered.
