A higher-end wired headphone offering from Razer, the Tournament Edition has received decent reviews, being praised for its microphone, dongle connected to the wire, mic-mute switch and clientside software control. However, its sound quality seemed to be only adequate, and the headset is quite bulky. Additionally, you might want to obtain a foam pop filter over the microphone - it does not ship with one as standard.
