Uh, if it's the retail packaging it does. They have a seperate wired mic with a different cable. Look it up on their website if you do't believe me.

If that's it... it supposedly comes with a seperate mic. Awesome.

Three of us at work just grabbed one. Even if these are just headphones, it's a great deal.

they are just the headphones, no mic, but its just a lousy clip on mic you can buy for cheap anyways.

yea you have to buy the v2 if you want a real integrated mic. the v1 were separate clip ons.

 

[watek]

Thx, got one.

 

[Zap]

thats right, its normally 70bucks!!!!

Normally $50

So, you can get THREE sets for the same price (3x$15+$5ship).

 

[0roo0roo]

yea seems there are two skus, a headset and a headphone.
still ok price. can't believe they charge that high a premium for a cr@ppy clip on mic

 

[fastcuda]

[qliveur]

How good are these sound-wise?

 

[cubeless]

[0roo0roo]

How good are these sound-wise?

atleast $50 range.
one thing you can be sure of, you won't be able to get equivalent sound for this price normally.

 

[qliveur]

OK, I bit. In for 2.

 

[LostPassword]

[fantolay]

Looks decent... I'm not sure if I should bite or not. If these are for gaming do they work with 360 at all? I'm guessing no.

There never has been and never will be a pair of good headphones designed exclusively for and marketed to "gamers". Buying $20 headphones from a mouse pad company is like buying a $2,000 car from Tupperware.

They'll do just fine as long as you primarily use your ears as an early warning fart detection system. They might even be better than other terrible headphones out there, because after all, a riced out Yugo is still miles better than a Trabant.

But I'm just a headphone snob in a pair of Sennheiser HD650s, bitter that I spent too many years owning too many crappy headphones. These days if I need to save money I'd rather do it on socks or cat litter.

Well, for $17.50 shipped, they can't be that bad. Even if that's all they're worth; at least I'm breaking even. 😉

while its true you can get sennheiser 350's or better at 100+ dollar price points, at this lower price point of ~50-75 this is a steal.
if you can afford higher price points and the necessary headphone amps and such, thats fine as well. spending many hundreds is easily possible.
