Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I use these with a PS4 and am happy with them, though I must confess these are the only "gaming" headphones I've ever used, so I really have no idea whether they are better or worse than the competition. I do have a Razer Blade Pro laptop which is the best laptop I've ever owned (including MacBook Pros) and therefore chose these almost exclusively based on my very positive past experience with Razer products. As far as comfort, I definitely would give them 5 stars. They are very lightweight and "cool" in the sense that they don't start to feel warm after a while. No matter how many consecutive hours I use them, they are always totally comfortable and it never feels like my ears start to sweat or like i need to take them off for a break. I actually forget I'm even wearing headphones. What I do hate is the volume control. It's a dial on the cable just like almost every other headphone, but the problem is it's a very free-wheeling, almost spinning dial. It's not a "tight" dial where it doesn't move unless you actually put your fingers on it and turn it up or down, or the type where it makes a little click as you turn it up or down a notch. Consequently, everytime you move (eg change positions or reach for a drink of water), it rubs against your clothes and the volume turns up or down. You can't just set the volume and forget it. It seems like every 15-30 minutes I have to check to make sure it's still at the volume I want. Eventually you get used to the constant checking, but they definitely could have done a better job designing it. It makes no sense to me. I've used many different types of headphones (for music, etc) that have a similar volume controls but none where the slightest touch changes the volume. I don't use the microphone so I have no opinion on that. I can say that it retracts nicely into the headphones so that you don't even know it's there. If the headphones weren't so comfortable and if I wasn't already a fan of Razer products, I'd definitely drop my rating down to three stars due to the volume control issues, might have even returned them. As a matter of fact, after reading my own review, I think I should contact them to find out whether this is really the way they intended it to work or whether I got a defective pair.
