These are not good. I've had the model over that but wired and they sound horrible, they are muddy, no details whatsoever. Plastic construction and just overall bad mic. The features means nothing with their "DTS 7.1 surround sound headphone: X" Or whatever their marketing BS is does not mean they are good. However the ones @Aereldorrecommended are perfect and sound great at the price. If you have a bad motherboard realtek DAC you should take a look at the Cooler Master MH752's since they come with a little dongle that is a DAC and bypasses realteks' chips.

PM or DM me if you have any questions about audio.

Those are not good at all. Logitech makes great controllers, joysticks, mice, and keyboards, but audio they do not. Those sound like headphones passed around in an airline that's about to go out of business, built into a pair of construction earmuffs the foreman gives to workers he doesn't like, and given a paint job by a toddler who plays too much fortnite. Please don't recommend these for the love of god.

I'm kinda wary about shitting on motherboard realtek DACs - my alienware, old B85 motherboard, and newer H310 motherboard all have 'shitty' realtek HD audio, which sounds really good and clean. The one in my alienware drives my headphones better than the dedicated headphone amp inside my tascam US-1800. Not to mention, these are 32 Ohm headphones. You could drive them off an ipod shuffle.

The inconsistency is what is shitty.
