The wire is covered in a weird material so whenever you move it around it rubs against the inside of the left ear cup and sometimes creates a weird scratchy noise. This only happens when you move the wire around a lot so it's not really a big deal. As far as sound quality goes, again, I am not really the person to ask, but I kinda feel as if the bass is just a little bit shallow.

 

But understand that these two complaints aren't TOO bad and they are nothing compared to the pros of this headset. Build quality is 10/10. You can throw them around and they will still work. Sound is VERY good even with my complaint about the bass. The mic isn't too bad for a cheap little bonus add on (even though you probably won't be using it) and it's VERY comfortable.

 

8/10 would recommend again

no they are really really bad for gaming since they have no soundstage.

OP there is a pinned post you could give a look and maybe find out what kind of sound you like.

Before you buy amp and dac.  My thoughts on the M50x  Ultimate Ears Reference monitor review I might have a thing for audio...

My main Headphones and IEMs:  K612 pro, HD 25 and Ultimate Ears Reference Monitor, HD 580 with HD 600 grills

DAC and AMP: RME ADI 2 DAC

Speakers: Genelec 8040, System Audio SA205

Receiver: Denon AVR-1612

Desktop: R7 1700, GTX 1080  RX 580 8GB and other stuff

Laptop: ThinkPad P50: i7 6820HQ, M2000M. ThinkPad T420s: i7 2640M, NVS 4200M

Feel free to pm me if you have a question for me or quote me. If you want to hear what I have to say about something just tag me.
