how reliable are these? Most 5/4 star reviews are within a few days of purchase when everything works fine. How long have you been using these mics?

Reliability is not a problem with these units. The instructions are pretty lite. We had issues with getting the channels set correctly but once we got that they worked perfectly.

I've been going for about a year now, and still running great! Keep in mind these aren't brand name, I wouldn't use them for anything mission critical, but for smaller applications, these are awesome mics.

Yes, I can say that they are very comfortable after extended use. And the Mic quality was indeed better then I had expected.

My friends seem to have no problem with my mic. If you'd heard some of their headset mics you'd probably be quite satisfied with it too. For example, the Alienware headset doesn't have any noise cancellation and picks up a great amount of background noise, and the Razer Kraken Pro has great sound quality but a poor quality mic. Those 2 are the main ones everyone i've seen is buying, I have seen a great many other mics and this one so far beats them all.=)In my opinion, if you have the black shark's mic the correct distance away from your mouth, its sound quality is unbeatable next to a singing mic or something...

Well I've had it for just a month so far and have used it excessively, but no problems with audio. I generally trust Sony as a brand.

I have only had 3 or 4 calls wih the headset so far and have not had any complaints about the mic quality but i hav not heard it from the other end so im not sure.

I bought mine many months ago and they still work. I have learned to be gentle with earphones, because I really got tired of having to continually buy new ones. Just don't be rough and they should last a while.

Not enough time put into using them to tell just yet, but they have lasted just fine for the amount of time I have used them. Which for reference is maybe 40 or so hours since I got them a few months ago.TL;DR They seem pretty reliable so far.

Mine works well, make sure everything is connected correctly, and that you have the microphone away from as much interference as possible.

Ive had my BX5's for months now and can use them all day long and haven't had any issues with them losing sound

I use mine at work which is going to be the ultimate test for these I work in powder coating where its usually over 100° I have had mine since April 28th and they are still working perfectly. Four months isn't bad I have paid 20 and 30 dollars for Sony and skull candy headphones that have stopped working in under four months so if these last four months ill be happy especially at only 10$.

I find them very good voice quality, if a little short on duration. The average length of time that I am able to use these headphones is between 2 and 4 hours (depending on how much I listen to music as well, in between calls).

Hi Arminda I purchased this headset for my son last Christmas to use with his PS3. He loves it and uses it on a daily basis. It hasn't given him any issues. He says that he can hear clearly and his friends can here him as well. It was priced well, and I'm glad I took a chance on these and would do it again.I live in the U.S. and my order arrived fairly quickly and I didn't use prime shipping either. Hope my response helps!!!!!!!

I'm hoping that they've gotten this issue fixed with later shipments. My pair as well as my brother-in-law's pair had the left cup fail after the first day of use. SteelSeries had us fill out an RMA and we got replacements within a week and a half. Neither of us has had any issues in the four months that we've had them and in the end I am very happy with this headset. A lot of options for tweaking them to get your ideal sound

I bought 13. no issues yet. Check w/ company. I hope they last longer than yours.

I've had mine for three months now, use the mic and the buttons everyday, many times a day. Still working just fine -- so far.

Condensor mics work well these are the one's like Sony ecm-70-P, Olympus ME-51S, etc. the one's I own I can confirm others will be workable but the choice you will make honest and to the point
