First off, these are very ...unstylish... It wouldn't matter much if it made up for it in quality, but that is not the case.
The first thing I noticed after buying these was that they surround sound isn't very surround sound. All it does is boosts the sound quality a little bit and separates events on the left and right to an extreme. So much that it's uncomfortable to listen to (you can adjust it though, but to really be satisfying, just turn off the surround switch).
After about 3 months of having these, whenever the "surround sound" is on, the wires are extremely sensitive when re-arranged, and messes up the sound REALLY BAD. Could be wear-and-tear, but when I turn off the surround sound switch, all is normal again.
And about 2-3 weeks after having it, the grip in the microphone is gone, so it can be either up or down, nowhere in between or it just slides the rest of the way down. (mic quality is nothing special either)
And last but not least, they are uncomfortable. It can actually be very painful if you wear them for a few hours straight. Its been a few months, and I've gotten used to it and only notice it after many, many hours of wearing them. (I do have a rather large head though, but I don't think it makes much of a difference)
Needless to say, I'm fed up with these and will be buying a new headset very soon.

These have to be the most uncomfertable headphones I have ever worn. They look like they were supposed to be some kind of around ear headphones but the lack of depth for the speakers has them constantly pressing up against the ear. After about 30 minutes they become extremely painful. The sound quality is just mediocre. Turning on the SRS only seams to make it louder but doesnt rally enhanse the sound quality any. The only part that was good about it was the mic, and that quit working. The cords seam to get frayed quite easily and because of that the mic no longer works. These headphones are terrible. Do your self a favor and don't buy them. Infact even if they had phenominal sound quality that was unmatched I would still give it 1 star just for how uncomfertable they are.

Well...I guess I might pay the money, but only to get out the life threatening predicament. Other than that there is absolutely no way I would ever buy these or, if their other headset offerings are as ill-conceived as this one, any other headsets from Altec. Perhaps they should just stick to speaker systems and the like because they really missed the mark on this one. To sum it up in one word---JUNK!!! The wire sheathing cracked where the wire goes into the headphone and after that is was game over. I tried to reinforce it but to no avail. Soon after that the mic stopped working and then the headphones because the wires were fraying. Think it has everything to do with that 2 ton switch they have attached to the wire. Never had any issues with the sound quality getting worse, but that was about the only good thing. Also they get extremely uncomfortable in a rather short amount of time....way to heavy. I am going to go get Logitec headphones because I had a $30 set that lasted 6 or 7 years(only reason they needed replaced was one of my kids stepped on them) while this AL conCRAPtion, that cost twice that, lasted maybe 4 months. The reason I gave it a one-star rating was there wasn't an option to give it no-stars......
