    Great sound quality, however...
    First of all, I am satisfied with this purchase. My friends and I play a lot of games together so investing in an expensive headset was something I was willing to do. However there are a couple of gripes I have with the A50s.Pros:- Great sound quality. Music and game atmosphere sounds great in this headset.- Very comfortable. When the headpiece is snapped in place this headset can be worn for quite a few hours without risk of fatigue.- Very easy set up. Plugging the dock into the PC is basically all the set up. I was worried with the set up with a wireless headset so I was thankful this was so easy.Cons:- The headpiece is very flimsy. May not happen for other people, but I have a very large head which means I have to wear these fully extended. The headpiece comes undone randomly which is very jarring as the headset falls down my head. I may have to use superglue the headpiece to keep it in place. The picture shows where the headpiece comes undone.- Battery life and dock: The dock is somewhat challenging to charge the headset with. For some reason finding the sweet spot is difficult. Battery life is also somewhat short but it is manageable; I have to charge these every other day.In summary, I can recommend this headset despite the minor setbacks. The only thing I can't speak to is the mic quality, as I use a Blue Yeti mic for voice input. Hope this helps.
