There Are Pandas, and Then There Are Pandas.
And this isn't either of them! The Pandas we're talking about here, are watches, not bears. And what got me thinking about them (again) was a link posted this morning by @cm.rook who pointed a few of us to the very attractive (and not terribly priced) Yema "Rallygraph" Panda which, in it's most traditional arrangement, looks like the one on the left, but can also be had in the version on the right: The model on the left is a true Panda, while the model on the right is called a reverse Panda. The reason for that distinction is clear--Panda bears, only come in the first arrangement. Now at this point, everyone should be thinking about the most well-know Panda, The Rolex Panda, which is actually a Daytona, and among Rolex Daytonas, the most famous of which is the Paul Newman Daytona, which was famous first, because it was Paul's, and second because it sold at auction for $17.8 million (US Dollars). The story of that auction is well-known so I'll only...

When I tested it out, my friends noticed the improved clarity of the microphone. I wanted a microphone that had the boom up mute function, so that is the reason I wanted a headset. The microphone was better than expected as I considered my Corsair H21000 mic to be a very decent mic. I listened to some music, tried some "surround sound tests" on youtube, and played some games. The sound overall was better than my existing H21000 headset. The open back showed me what a larger sound stage is and I can't explain, it is just a bigger sound. One downside is that I did notice I could hear my computer's fans when nothing was playing. I wouldn't recommend these headphones for an environment with a lot of loud background noise. Though it is great if you are in your own room and if you want to hear the doorbell ring. One thing that threw me off is when I use most headphones I can hear some noise being generated by the headset, even when no sound is playing. I didn't think it was working properly, until I pulled up youtube. The only thing I really miss about my old Corsair H21000 was that there were no wires to dangle against your shirt and you could leave the room without having to remove the headset. Though when gaming that is quickly forgotten.
In all this is an amazing headset for the $120 price. If you are looking for something around ~$60 the Hyper-X Stinger is the way to go.
Pros:
Great mic w/ automatic mute when boom is up
Good Sound Quality with larger sound stage via (Open Back
Price @ $120 as of 1/30/18
Sennheiser sound and quality
Cons:
Not great for loud environments.
