Afterglow Universal Wired Headset

Sometimes, we have to get a cheaper product because we don't have enough for the one we aimed for. In this case, I refer only to the aspect that is being WIRED. And let me tell you, there are a lot of wires on this bad boy.

Pros: 

• Good quality audio - Stereo 50mm
  
• Normal / Bass Boost audio modes
• Inline controls (chat/game balance as well as headphone volume toggle) 
• LED lighting (not as obtrusively bright as older model) 
• Flexible, extending microphone
• Overall pretty flexible headband - makes for a good tight fit
• Useable with Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, Wii U, and PC
• Microphone pics up very nicely
• Ridiculously long cables  (Don't know for exact, but certainly double-digits feet)
  

Cons

• A bit uncomfortable for those with glasses (tight fit will squish the ear-ends, causing a bit of float whenever the headphones move) 
• A lot of cables (inline audio to speakers, USB to system/pc, cable from inline controls box to Xbox 360 controller mic jack). 
• Ridiculously long cables (can get messy real fast)  
• Charging cables and wired controllers will cause some mic feedback to anyone you talk to (odd "buzzing" sound) on Xbox 360 controller
• This one may be the actual Xbox service, as I've had issues like this with other wired microphones, but occasionally mic become unintelligible for party members (fixed with a simple flick of the mute/unmute on the inline controls
  
• Bass boost can cause some audio garble - Similar to most older-type Bass Boost settings (like old CD players). 

 Some may consider the lack of surround sound a con - to me, I honestly find it easier to hear everything without it, as with surround sound I find that there are always moments when something (such as dialogue) comes in to quiet/softly and then the music comes in so strong/loud it ends up being painful when compensated for the dialogue. Also, some may find the light's constant on state to be annoying, although outside of the mic "audio indicator" LED (blue for normal, red for bass boost) is relatively not noticeable while wearing the headset (comes in blue and green LED versions, by the way). I got these on sale at Target, and still hope to eventually try out the wireless versions in the future, but in a change of pace I will actually supply you with an Amazon link so you can see the price and have a spot to get it (previous Tron Controller reviews had me constantly assailed with "where do I get one?").
