The sound is amazing but the only thing I don't like about it is after wearing them after 1-2 hours they get really uncomfortable. They go on your ears and crush your ears over time. I would recommend Razer product but would recommend headphones that go over the ears.

I bought the Razer Piranha headphones when they were first released and immediately I was impressed.
Since this seems to be the biggest issue with these... I would not suggest wearing this headset for more than 4+ hours. These do get heavy and start to feel irritable to the ears, but not without being on for several hours. Then again most headsets are going to get uncomfortable at that point. Everyone's comfort level is different when it comes to headphones, and these are by far some of the most comfortable I've worn.
These are very sturdy! The wires are actually a little long in my opinion, so I have them tied to keep them from falling onto the floor. The lighting needs to be plugged into a USB port, but in actuality it's not a big deal with some of the gaming cases out today that have plenty of ports. I carry these around quite a bit to LAN parties and the like, and I've never had any problems with them getting near breaking point, they can take a punch. Unless you're being overly rough with them you shouldn't have a problem.
Sound quality. I'm a bit of an audiophile, and I can safely say it's pretty good, though not excellent. As another reviewer stated, it's for gaming, not really intended for music listening however they don't sound bad for just music or videos either. When I have these on I can't hear much noise pollution except for the game or music I'm listening to. Unless I have one side off on purpose of course.
The microphone is pretty good as well; I find that I have to turn my outgoing up on occasion, but in all reasoning it could be because of several factors when it comes to program and computer settings. People can hear me clearly and rarely catch any noises going on in the background. It has an in-line remote control with volume and microphone muting adjustments; the muting button is not easy to move so no accidents!
I've owned a lot of headsets from Logitech to Plantronics, and I can say these are some of the nicest I've owned.

Overview: the headset sounds nice, and is good for casual play, but not good at all for professional or avid gamers. I am buying a new set of headphones after a year because I'm tired of having to take a break every ten minutes because my ears hurt from the pressure. The sound will please most people, but not those used to higher-end headphones or in-ear 'phones for music. this headset, in my eyes, has a value of about $30 so if you find it for cheap you might like it but I don't think I would buy it even then, the thing is very uncomfortable and even painful after about twenty minutes.
Sound: the sound quality is good, but not fantastic, this is definitely not a headset for avid music listeners, as the sound isn't really true to what you'd want for music, this is a headset completely made with gaming in mind. explosions, gunfire, and steel on steel sounds way better than music does with this headset. The sound goes from a moderate, comfortable volume to a really loud volume, though not quite painfully loud. this headset does not need an amp to work fine. This headset also picks up very little noise compared to other headphones, the signal isn't impeded by any noise, even on most onboard sound cards.
Microphone: the mic is good, but not fantastic, again it's made with gaming in mind, the mic itself is very quiet even though the sound coming from the pads is quite loud, it's on an adjustable, semi-bendable boom coming from the left side, and has no filtering foam on it. if a software microphone amplifier is used on a recording of the mic it can and probably will sound sibilant (where everything with a "t" or "s" sound is prominent). The mic is not for the very quiet, several times I've had to raise my voice to a louder level just to be heard through the mic by other players. Having the USB cord plugged in at the same time as the mic cord seems to help a little, but not much.
Build Quality: the headset is sturdy and will last awhile (mine has lasted for over a year with no problems whatsoever, and I am not gentle with it) the ends of the cord are separated about four feet from the minijack and usb plugs, those cords are all sturdy and won't give out. I braided the separate cords except for the last five inches or so both to protect the cords and to keep the ends from tangling, it works very well. after the seperation the cord is covered by some form of nylon shoe-string-esque covering, it's tough and will not tear, this goes all the way up to the left ear-cup where it is attatched to the headset. about two feet from the headset there is a volume dial/mic switch. the low end of the volume dial is the on side for the mic switch. be careful when using the headset because both the volume dial and the mic switch like to flip easily.
Comfort: this headset is comfortable for about 15 minutes, then the pressure starts to hurt one's ears, the headset in a relaxed position has about two inches or so between ear pads (at the smallest size setting) the headset is made to pull apart, sure, but the pressure crushes the ear against one's head, meaning if you have glasses, like myself the back of your ears will hurt unless you adjust your glasses. after about thirty minutes of use, the headset's ear pads will have crushed your ears quite well, and any movement of the headset will be painful. when the headset is taken off I do not recommend putting in-ear headphones on, your outer and mid-ear will thank you for not.

I bought this to play games on my computer as well as to test computer programs I write for voice commands.
When listening to music it sounds great and cannot hear much around me. The mic picks up well, great for gaming and I can wear it hours on end.

The Razer Piranha Stereo gamiing headphones is the most disappointing purchase I've made through Amazon. It comes with a USB connector and two 3.5 mm connectors for the headphone and microphone. I've tried using it with my Macbook Pro and Ipod. The microphone does NOT work using either the mini-jack or the USB connector. The audio input ONLY works using the mini-jack. So you're paying $57+ for headphones that cannot be used either for gaming or VoIP. The "durable braided fiber cable" forks into flimsy wires that connect to your computer or mp3 player. The wires in the headset I received may have broken at the factory. The unit was obviously not tested before being packaged and shipped. The headset, itself, is not nearly as comfortable as some of the reviewers lead you to believe. I can't imagine wearing this for more than an hour at a time. The best feature are the ear pods that glow blue when connected. Can I get my money back?
