My 161s have worked excellently for three years (purchased in August of 2008). I have never had an issue with microphone quality and it was only in August, 2011 when the left speaker started to cut out for several hours at a time (for some odd reason pressing the volume wheel in made it work again temporarily). However, the right speaker and microphone still work great. Despite a light build and loose fitting it held up to numerous drops and hits (caused my tripping over the cord, my fault entirely).

Purchased a second one of these for a gift and combined it with a Startech USB 2.0 to Audio Adapter Converter so I don't have to run additional wires and it works on Mac as well.

This is a really nice, comfortable headset that suited my gaming desires for a few months (until i met the logitech G35). The sound quality seems really good and clear. I have had not a single complaints from anyone i game with about the mic. They all say i sound clear. Also its comfortable, which is a huge selling point for anyone that plays to many FPS games... Or warcraft if you must...
I normally use the Sennheiser HD595 for most things, but for Skype I find it easier to switch to headphones with a mic built-in. I previously had a pair of Logitechs but after a year and a half the foam pads split on the seams and completely fell apart. So I jumped on these when they were on sale and am very happy, I thought that there would be no way for the sound quality to compare to my 595s costing many times more but I was pleasantly surprised. Build quality seems par for Sennheiser, I imagine this pair will last a long time.

The best thing about this headset has to be the mic. Being unidirectional, it cuts out most of the background noise or any other distracting sounds while giving the speaker amazing clarity. As for the sound quality, personally, I don't think it's that good. The bass, for me, is lacking pretty badly, and overall it seems to sound a bit canny. The best use I can think of for this headset is VOIP.

These are the nicest pair of headphones I've owned yet. The sounds in games really come alive (grenades in Crysis sound satisfyingly real for example).

I've had two pairs of these and they're great, but the microphone stopped working on my second one after a week. It would be unfair to judge my experience on that pair alone, as I'm sure I just ended up with a dud. Anyways, the sound quality is great and the design is nice and simple. Another plus is the weight of these. They don't weigh a million pounds like all those other flashy units you can buy. Also, they're stereo, which is a plus; none of that gimmicky 5.1 BS. Stick with a company that knows sound quality like Sennheiser, rather than a company that knows nothing of the sort.
