Editorial Reviews:

Pro Flight Headset--Heighten the realism of your flight simulation experience with the Saitek Pro Flight Headset. Constructed using high grade materials and closely modeled on professional pilot headsets, the Pro Flight Headset looks, feels and sounds just like the real thing. The cushioned headband guarantees comfort over long haul flights by preventing the 'hotspot' on the top of the head experienced with other headphones; the ear cushions fit snugly over the ears, providing excellent passive noise cancelling and ensuring you're completely immersed in your flight simulation. Fitted to a fully adjustable metal boom arm, the microphone features a mute switch to cut transmission, ensuring Air Traffic Control only hears what you want. 3.5mm audio connectors work with all PCs with a soundcard with 3.5mm connectors for audio.

Summary: Not very good for gaming
Comment: I've not tried these with MS flight sim. But, with several combat sims I have, this product has HORRIBLE sound.

Negatives:
These are way too tight. I wear glasses and within 15 minutes, I can feel parts of the skin near my ears getting numb.

I'm well over 40. So, my hearing ain't what it used to be. TOO MUCH BASE! It hurts my ears and I can't distinguish sounds with lower base (higher pitch sounds). It's too difficult to discern other sounds that aren't loud...then, when loud, hurts your ears.

Mic boom is difficult to adjust properly at higher angles for smaller heads. It's range of movement is fine at lower angles, but as you raise it, you're afraid to bend or break it.

Postives:
The volume control is nice. It's very responsive and provides plenty of volume when you need it.

The mic is very sensitive. I had to reduce the mic input when using mic boost inside windows as it was picking up sounds from across the house (and that was through a closed door!)

Nice mute button feature on the front of the mic. If you use voice on all the time, this is nice because you can mut it at the touch of the front of the mic.

Over all, due to the lack of comfort and the inability to distinguish between sounds, I can't rate this more than a 2. I wish I could rate it a 1.5 because that's how bad I don't like it. At the price I bought it for ($99) it was a waste of money for me.

Summary: High quality and comfortable
Comment: I purchased these for my husband for Christmas and he loves them! They're comfortable, well made, and perfect for Flight Simulator addicts. Amazon also has the consistently lowest price for this headset as well. Great gift for gamers!
