**Please note that this review is for PS4 users; I'm not sure of the headset's quality/specifics for PC or Xbox.**
I work in the TV industry, so I've worked a lot with audio and sound design — I mention that because I've used a large variety of $200+ high-end headphones from leading manufacturers (e.g. Bose, Sony, JBL, Jabra, etc.), and for the price, I have to say this is a really solid, decently comparable headset. I can't speak in comparison towards pro gaming headsets like Turtle Beach or SteelSeries, but for any average person/gamer, these really do the job.
If you're a bit of an audiophile like me, you won't be in love with the sound quality because it is a little lacking in the mids and lower ends, but again, if you're just a casual gamer, these are a 10/10. For anyone who's big into really crisp, high quality sound, I'd put it at around a 7/10. Still, some cheap headphones I've used which are clearly China-made have had that annoyingly thin, tinny sound, and this does not have that whatsoever. Just impressive all around for the price.
The headset is easy to connect; the cable does split in two, but you just need to plug the jack right into the controller port. Activating the lights is a bit weird in my opinion, as it only lights up via a USB cable (hence the split cable) so you'll need to plug it into the actual PS4 console to activate the lights, which is a slight inconvenience. But if you want to keep it plugged in, the lights work great for me; I've had it for a little over a month now with no hiccups. Like others have mentioned, the cable is also quite long and can get tangled if you don't manage it, but it comes with a little velcro strap – just wind up the cable neatly in a circle to make it shorter and then tie it off with the velcro, and it shouldn't be as much of a bother anymore.
As for the mic, it seems to sound just fine. I played some multiplayer games with friends from all around the U.S., and they could all hear me well with no annoying interference like some have mentioned (could be a different story for PC or Xbox though). It's not -super- crisp audio, but again, that might just be because I'm a little bit of an audiophile haha. I tested it in the PS4 microphone testing menu, and it sounded clear enough. I like that you can also turn the mic on and off with a switch right on the cable, as well as bend it closer or further from your mouth.
Comfort-wise, these are equally impressive. The ear cushion is soft enough that I can play for hours on end without any ear ache, and that's a huge plus. I've had problems with that even for high end headphones, so that's saying something.
My only real criticisms are that the headset is a little on the big and bulky side (and I think I have a big head, so that's saying something, but it seems like most gaming headsets are bulky anyway), the build is clearly just basic plastic (not flimsy or anything, just a little less solid than professional grade material), and the noise cancelling is... well, subpar — to be honest, it really only slightly muffles background noise — but all in all, those weren't things that bothered me so much that I felt like I needed to shave a star off.
TL;DR: If you're a casual gamer who needs a solid headset for a -really- decent price, these are a no brainer.

The headphones feel nice and comfortable, are adjustable and do a fair job at blocking out noise in the environment.
I primarily use these for music and gaming immersion and have not yet tried the microphone.
