Build Quality

The Steelseries headphones are full size headphones and are well built. The ear cups are large and well cushioned, which makes them comfortable to use for long hours.

The elastic headband of the headphones is durable and will last long. Even though it has strong elastic, it doesn't press against your head. Keeping the gamer in mind these headphones can easily be worn throughout a tourney day.

The cable from the headphones is single sided and has a decent length to use it with a DAP. In order to connect it to the rear of a PC a cable extension is provided in the package. When using the USB soundcard the cable for the USB soundcard is long enough to make it an extension.

The earcups are designed in such a way that it provides sound isolation without really applying any pressure on the ears. The earcups have a mesh on the outside to release vacuum created on the inside. There are even vents on the sides to release any vacuum. This adds greatly to the comfort factor.
