the headset's sound is made for gaming, so if you only want to listen to music with them, you should rather buy music headphones, because the headset stresses more the mids and lows, than the highs, but if you want to use them for gaming, they are perfect, because if you shoot for example in cod, the sound is very nice, you've got a rich bass and it makes gaming totally different, you can feel the game, it's such a clear and really nice sound.
