It looks nice, at least. If it's not compatible with a PC I doubt many people will buy it though.

I don't like how long that USB dongle is... it's going to be sticking out in the way for me

A good headset goes a long way (cheap headsets break often). I also find that the main reason my headsets break or problems arise from them is because they are corded - I would really love a nice wireless headset myself

Looks pretty decent, but I can't tell if the main head band is metal or not.

I have a pair of Plantronics 955s and they work quite well. Audio quality is decent, but for the price I doubt you'll find much better.

I've been meaning to buy a new wireless headset since my corded on broke. Destructoid got a response from Sony saying they do work on PC (and Mac) as well as having the bonus XMB features for PS3. It would be better if these were bluetooth, but I think I can live with another RF dongle.

Now I just need to wait for the reviews, and if they are decent I may spend some of my Gamestop credit to buy them.
