i particularly like the fact that the earpads are fully fabric (and quite nice and soft) and not the crappy fake leather-ish thing that most headphones have that just disintegrates after about a year (even my ATH pair, i had to replace the pads with fabric ones myself) as someone with a helix piercing and glasses, this is extremely important to me if i'm going to be wearing them for hours every day cause otherwise my ears hurt :neocat_laugh_sweat:

after wearing them for half a day yesterday i can honestly recommend them and mention that they're the wired Steelseries Arctic Novas (the first version, I couldn't afford a newer model) the only negative reviews i've seen are exclusively about the microphone quality, which personally doesn't affect me in any way cause i have a separate microphone for my PC anyway so as a budget version of daily driver, comfortable and high-quality audio headphones, i can 100% say that they're perfect for me the only aspect i cannot vouch for is how long they last as daily driver desktop headphones, but like i said the build quality feels very sturdy and high-quality so I trust they'll at least last me a couple of years
