Query: Pretty bad

I actually bought this headset several years ago from a popular department store. Within a couple of months, the earpads had come off of the headset. They are held on by a thin fabric, and that fabric tore from the headset being taken off and put back onto my head. I still have them now because I use them mainly for the microphone -- the pads are duct taped back onto the main unit.The pads on these will fail quickly within normal use, and the headphones are uncomfortable to the point of uselessness without the pads.The product does have decent sound, thanks to the pads creating a more enclosed listening environment. They are a bit too heavy on the bass for my tastes. The microphone is mediocre; it sounds bad to me but none of my associates on Skype or through Ventrillo have complained.
