Input: So I needed a replacement for my 5 year old Plantronics DSP 500 headset.  The first thing that caught my attention about the G35 set is the red light on the mic to let you know it is muted, and the 7.1 virtual sound, so I figured I would take a shot.    Pros:  - They sound good  - The volume roller is easy to use and is software based so you are actually adjusting Windows volume level.  - The mute button is easy to get to (and the already mentioned red light on the mic)  - The mic pics up sound very well  - The bass is a little stronger than DSP500's, but only slightly.    Cons:  - Logitech decided to use their braided cord that will FOREVER hold bends and will never just hang loose  - Ear sweat...  these things do not breathe (if you like ear sweat, put this in the pros column)  - The \\"pad\\" that rests on top of your head is not soft at all, and the 2 additional ones they provide are just bigger than the first  - Massive, you can't just slide these on, they take both hands to pry open   - Skull crushing, they basically rely on squeezing your head to fit properly  - Lack of audio controls, you get bass and treble, that is it  - They are more effective than ear plugs, you could be run over by a train and never know it (this may be a pro for some people)    The reason I kept my DSP500's for so long is because I could wear them for hours and hours and completely forget I was wearing them.  They also did not block any of the outside noise so I could easily talk to someone or listen for something while wearing them.  I can wear the G35's for about 2 hours before my ears feel gross, and the pressure starts to bother me.  I have to wonder if they are not a danger to little kids with soft skulls...  you might end up with a conehead kid if they wear these a lot.    I honestly can't tell you what other headset you should get, but for the price of these G35's I would recommend getting something else.  With the G35 you are paying for gimmick and look, not for quality sound hardware.      UPDATE:  After having this headset for a while there are a few more bad things unfortunately.  The material covering the ear pads will start to peel off after a while, mine are almost completely gone.  It starts with the material cracking and breaking off (looks like they used the wrong glue) and you will be left with chunks of black material on your neck and clothes.    I still use mine, but only because of the excellent sound and bass they produce, as well as the lit mute indicator and mute button.  Overall a $129 pair of headphones should not be flaking and coming apart in less than a year.
