In my experience, ALL "gaming" marketed headsets are overpriced piles of junk compared to their non-gamer counterparts. Poor sound quality and build quality. I don't have any firsthand experience with this particular set, but the reviews seem to lump it into the same category of style over substance.
For $15 more, you could get a set of Audio Technica ATH AD700s, which are widely known for having pretty much the best soundstage that money can buy as well as twice the general audio quality of these headphones. The wide soundstage means you can precisely pinpoint EXACTLY where your enemies are based on sound alone.
Sure, the AD700s aren't wireless (which I understand the appeal of), but they will last MUCH longer, be infinitely more comfortable, and sound way, waaaay better for $15 more.
If you are looking to drop $100 on a set of headphones for gaming, you are on the market for a high quality product. I'm not sure that I've ever seen a "gaming" marketed headset that was anything other than an overpriced pile of junk.

These aren't audiophile, but they're wireless, sounds is pretty great, and build is good. Have a pair I've used for the last 2 years, no real issues to report.
I actually considered these headphones as a gaming headset because I got sick of my other gaming headsets fraying and losing sound or microphone. I thought, "Hey, if I get a wireless headset, then that will eliminate the fraying issue!"
Unfortunately a lot of the reviews for this headset report that one of the earpieces or the microphone will short out over time. If I am dropping a benjamin on a gaming peripheral, I need something that is going to put up with my 3-6 hours of daily gaming abuse for the next 3+ years.
I can't comment at all on the audio quality or soundstage of these headphones, I just know that there was absolutely no comparisson to be made between my AD700s and my old gaming headsets (Razer Carcharias, Steelseries Siberia V2, etc). The AD700s absolutely blow them out of the water in every single category--comfort, sound quality, construction, soundstage. When I game on my AD700s, I feel like it's the old days of CS 1.6 with a Soundblaster X-Fi and I can hear every last footstep location around the map. It's freaking sound hacks, I swear.
I am admittedly jealous of the wireless aspect, as it would be nice to not to worry about rolling over the cord or accidentally standing up too fast. But the benefits of spending your money on pure headphones as opposed to covering the markup and marketing costs of a "gamer" label are too big to pass up. I know that I, for one, will never buy any peripheral marketed solely toward "gamers" again.
