This is my experience over the course of close to a year of owning this product:
Pros:
-Very sturdy and feels tough.
I bring this thing to LANs and i just have it in a bag in the back seat flailing around and it being okay about without any harm. The cable is fairly thick but doesn't get in your way, which is great. The cable that connects to the actual headset could take being ran over and yanked a little by a chair, and I would put money on it being okay afterwards. Also the microphone doesn't sag down over time, very nice!
-Microphone sound quality and close to no background noise what so ever.
I use skype a lot and when i'm in group calls and someone leaves, then it's just me and one other person on the call, they asked if the call dropped but it's just because the background noise was close to non-existent.
-Long lasting cushions
My previous headphones were the Bose comfort brand and I switched to these because obviously that product is designed for different use other than for skype. However, I noticed with the Bose headphones the cushions started to fall apart a bit around the same amount of time that I've had the Sennheiser's. I can see these headphones lasting 5 years or even longer if taken care of.
-Microphone mute and volume control
Last but definitely not least, these headphones have the best microphone mute/volume control i've ever used. The microphone mute is controlled by the microphone literally retracting back along the side of the headphones, it's very convenient and easy to spare people on skype right before i sneeze. Kinda silly but it does become easy enough to mute before sneezing i've found. The volume control on the right side of the headphones is really just a convenience but i would consider it much easier to use instead of having a giant volume control at some point on the cord (which is never fun to use in my opinion).
Cons: None of the cons have made me dislike the headset, but there are still cons none the less.
-Volume range is alright.
This is probably the biggest of the "insignificant" cons. The range isn't the greatest compared to other headphones i've used. The reason I don't find this a problem is when I use headphones, I normally don't have a large range of volume. This doesn't mean you wont notice it get louder or isn't capable of being loud or quiet. My recommendation is to set your volume knob to about 40 percent to 50, then go into your sound options and try to find "medium" volume for your taste and consider it volume calibration.
-Slightly large mic
This is pretty self explanatory, and again, it's not too big a deal because you get used to it quick. I'm just glad the mic has not sagged down.
-Felt tight on head initially
This is at the bottom of all the slight quirks because this problem goes away really quick (after the first day for me). But when I first put them on it felt like the headphones were clenching my head, but the cushion pads just needed to be broken in.
Other Thoughts: One thing I didn't add was the price because you truly pay for the quality and sturdier longer lasting product. These Sennheiser's have proven to be pretty tough thus far.
One of the biggest things i didn't mention is how comfortable they are to wear for 5 hours to even 8 hours at a time. Open ear in my opinion is the way to go for that marathon like gaming or music listening because your ears are able to breathe. With closed ear headphones, you have a chance of having your ears sweat over a long period of time.
I honestly would recommend these headphones for anyone that wants a long lasting pair with the quality of a more expensive pair of headphones from Sennheiser.

Snapped after a year and a half of gentle use, but good warranty service
I liked the sound, which is fairly neutral compared to some of the headphones that tend to boost the bass to increase the appeal to people who like bass-heavy music. I listen to mostly classical music, so these worked well. The problem is that after a year and a half, the headband snapped in the middle. I have an average sized head, don't abuse my stuff (they hang on a hook when not in use), and was just pulling them apart so I could put them over my ears when there was a crack and they suddenly didn't fit.I can't believe that the headband is joined in the middle by some sort of plastic (I'm speculating here because everything is covered by the padding). A major design fault for a manufacturer who's been producing headphones for so many years. I can still use them after a fashion, but they no longer fit snugly, so background noise is now a problem, as is sound leaking out.October 2 UpdateSennheisers have a 24 month warranty, so I found my bill and sent them off to see if they'd repair them, fully expecting to hear that it was just normal wear and tear. I just got them back and they're as good as new. While I wouldn't recommend anyone buy them, because I still believe they're too fragile for what they cost, I am impressed with their warranty service.

Good sound for the price paid (100$ CAD ish)
