how is a headset with a bad listening experience getting a 9.5? shouldn't that be worth half of the score?

Compared to the price the listening experience is average, but the gaming performance is really good for a headset that only costs € 49.99. The listening experience isn't bad, it just isn't as good and well balanced for listening to MP3s as it's for gaming.

oh... makes sense, i guess i just didn't see gaming vs listening. i too have a steel sound (the 5Hv2) and love it. maybe i have a suggestion then: because listening is anything that comes out of a head set, maybe specify that the con is more music listening, not just listening in general, cuz it might be less confusing. solid review btw, i forgot to mention that. very thorough

really good review, well done

This headset seems like perfect for it's price range, I'm planing to take it, but the only thing that worries me is the weak cable....
