I had a popular name brand headset before this one. It was around the same price and lasted for over two years before the mic broke. I have been using this headset for a while. I play games online with other people and communication is really important for some parts of the game. This headset works really well even compared to the popular name brand headset that I had before. I have had no problems with connectivity or the sound. It's very comfortable to wear. Overall, I am impressed with it, but even at the level of quality that it is, I think the price of nearly $60 is somewhat inflated. That's the only reason I took off one star. I cannot comment on durability because I don't know how long this one will last. Only time will tell.
