NOT good for EDM, bass heavy, or acoustics. NOT good for sound insulation.
The single button for pairing to bluetooth can also be used to control media. A single press will play/pause and answer/end call. A double press will skip to the next track. There is a mute button on the left cup. It sticks out when not muted and is slightly depressed when muted. Unlike some of the other arctis headsets, there is no LED indicator light on the microphone to indicate when you are muted.
The boom microphone is retractable, though it can be difficult to push it back into the cup with one hand without the headset wiggling on your head - depends on how snug a fit you have. While there is noticeable pressure on my head, they don't feel overly snug. If I shake my head, they will slide around a bit, but usually not enough to fall off unless I jerk my head quickly.
There is also a volume wheel on the back of the left cup. I don't personally care for it, as I use the thumbwheel on my MX Master to control volume, and the wheel on the cup doesn't have a lot of resistance (it moves at the slightest touch). The volume it controls is separate from your system's volume, which can be annoying rather than having a single volume control.

These were a Godsend after my ACL surgery.
IMO, no. I have a hyperx cloud II and I wouldn't dump them for this
Just curious, have you used these before? Want to make sure to understand why hyperx is better.
Edit: tons of negative reviews on Amazon. Not gonna bother gambling on this.

I don't think these headphones are worth $64, and unless someone needs them soon I recommend waiting until a better deal comes up.
Anyone with some personal experience that can shed some light ?
