2 good and 1 bad review on Amazon, but I’ve always heard good things about Sennheiser. I just bought a new pair of earbuds on the Amazon lightning deals right before these came up on the Wootoff, that’ll teach me!
Earbuds (or more accurately In Ear Monitors) for gaming are fantastic. I use a set of Ultimate Ears TripleFi.10s when I’m playing co-op. They eliminate mic bleed, and are comfortable for long periods of time.
These should be a good deal for $35, but despite owning many Sennheiser headphones and IEMs, have never been impressed with their sub-$50 products.
I got these in the last wootoff (I think) and they’re pretty good! It comes with three sizes of earbuds, so you can get a good fit (I use the smallest ones so I can jam them in there). As long as they’re in pretty good, the sound is great! I use the built in mic for ventrilo purposes, and I haven’t heard any of my guildies complain (yet).
The cord keeps the mic a little far away from my mouth, I think, but maybe my head is just small. But if you don’t like the cords to your ear being different lengths, don’t get this. XD
Also, the pouch it comes with is very nifty! I store them in there while I don’t use them so my cat doesn’t get at them. (Though she has already played with the pouch… and the extension cord… and the headphones themselves… XD )
My impression is no. The picture shows that the headphones have separate audio and microphone lines (one green and one pink 3.5mm jack). Thus providing the product with the name “gaming” headphones, since they are designed for a PC as opposed to a device that uses dual mic/audio jack.
