I wouldn't even consider buying a different computer sound system. These speakers are wonderful, and the sub-woofer is way better than I expected. These come with an extremely handy knob for the main volume/sub-woofer, located on the right speaker. I actually keep the volume and sub-woofer set at 1/4th of the max range. When I turn this bad boy to full, I can hear/feel my music throughout the entire house and even outside. The sub-woofer turned to max feels like a mini jet engine at my feet. I absolutely love this sound system, and it is perfect for my Netflix and gaming needs. My only problem is that I had to have geek squad fix a speaker after 2 months of use, but that really wasn't any problem.
My Best Buy number: 2925779726
What's great about it: Quick installation, beautiful bass, loud and clear, great for the buck
What's not so great: Had to use geek squad on one speaker, nothing else
I would recommend this to a friend!

I could tell that these headphones were awkward on my head when I first put them on. I play pc games for hours on end, so I need a pair of headphones that I forget I'm wearing. The weight of these headphones are too much for me. After wearing these for a little while, my ears started hurting at the tops. Other than comfort, the sound of these headphones are phenomenal. I haven't had any problems with the microphone, other than I wish it had voice playback. I feel like the retractable microphone is flimsy and will give out first, although my geek squad protection would cover that. My last complaint is that the in-line mic control doesn't control voice and game volume separately. I'm returning these to try out the steelseries siberia v2 frost blue edition. They are supposed to be extremely comfortable, and that's my biggest need. If they don't work, I will dish out the money to try the astro a40 headset. The logitech g930 would be my second choice, but I prefer wired headsets.
My Best Buy number: 2925779726
What's great about it: Sounds great, retractable mic, two cord set-up, replaceable ear pieces, thick cables
What's not so great: Heavy headset, uncomfortable on ears, can't control voice/game volume separately
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
