The main cable is standard rubber measures in at 1.2m. The microphone retracts into the headset, and also allows you to articulate it for optimum position. You will also find a volume rocker to control the headset volume, and a microphone mute button. On the bottom of the left ear cup you will find a 3.5mm headphone share jack, and a 4-pole jack for the main headset cable. On the outside of the headphones there are also LED ring lights that you can control through the software. The ear cups are very soft and breathable, and the headband is extremely comfortable and allows for minor adjustability via a velcro strap.

The construction is all plastic, but it feels like incredibly high quality plastic, and as though it is well put together. The build quality of this headset feels amazing.
