Personally, I love a simple set up. I've had the standalone microphone set up, but I much prefer a headset with attached microphone. My struggle in the past was finding a headset that had both great sound quality and a great microphone. This headset has both. It has very clear audio on both ends. Additionally, you'd be hard pressed to find a better option at this price point.
3 things make this a great gaming headset. 1) Open-back. This gives you a much more natural sound in comparison to most closed. The reason most are closed-back are for noise disturbances. Open will leak sound both in and out while closed does not. What this also means though is that the sounds you hear bounce around inside your earcups, making the sounds overall sound much more muffled when compared to open. It's one of those things you have to compare yourself to tell. But once you've tried open, it's like night and day. 2) Has to do with the open design too but: Sound Stage. Wide sound stage is what you're looking for in most competitive gaming scenarios among other things. Imagine an orchestra stage and imagine one that can only fit 5 people in row. You have your eyes closed and are told to point at the direction you hear one of the violinists playing. A wider sound stage is like that but with a stage big enough to fit say 20 people. How far out the sound comes from and where it's coming becomes a lot clearer. 3) Ultimately what makes a gaming "headset" is the attached mic. Of course a standalone is much better overall but for mics that are just slapped on headsets, this one is really good. Not the best of course and it may sound worse in comparison videos as the creator probably records with a better mic. But as far as gaming mics go, they're really good.

PromNightFetusI find open back with a headset makes no sense. Your headphone noise just bleeds right into the mic and annoys everyone. Completely pointless.

Weaver2Thats a whole separate issue. Your mic should never be pointing towards your ears. If its loud enough to be picked up either your mic settings need tweaking or you have your volume at an u healthy volume.
Sennheiser has a history of great audio, and this headset continues to live up to it. Its an affordable headset with an open back design for a more natural sound stage, with an attached boom mic that is better than pretty much any mic on a gaming headset you can find elsewhere.
