[citation][nom]thiirm[/nom]I can't speak to the quality of this particular headset as I haven't used it. But there is a market for people who value sound quality and also use programs like skype that require a headset. Most sub $100 headsets seem to absolutely suck in terms of sound quality and comfort, not to mention that most are wired. This is an interesting offering from corsair because I don't think there are a lot of alternatives in this price range.[/citation]
Interesting that people would spend $150 to use them for Skype. IMO the price just seems really inflated, like they are taking advantage of people in a very niche market. I just bought a pro pair of DJ headphones for $100, that I would bet money sound far superior to these. Granted, they don't have a microphone. To each his own.
