They're not that big, they just cover your whole ears. As for being uncomfortable, you must have an oddly shaped head I never noticed any discomfort when wearing them, and I played CS for hours on end with them. As for being oval...well...headphones, after all, go around/on/inside your EARS, which are OVAL. At least, I hope yours are oval :x

Not sure what you're talking about when you said they're being stiff, but yes, the leather's pretty cheap. They're 13 bucks though, get over it. 50$ extra isn't worth it for nicer leather that you'll hardly notice a difference with.

they dont just cover my whole ear, they cover my whole face. i usually just wear them around my neck and just use the mic. the mic is on the left side just to tell you guys. if you really want some nice headphones i would go with the Sennhesier, cant spell

[PZEROFGH]

you shuold have got the keyboard when we started this thread anyways, i wuold get the mx510 gaming mouse for around 28 dolars for red or 32 dollars for a blue one
i personally dont like the mx518. i cant believe the one with bf2 is cheaper then the one without...

 

[vaderpro]

whats the difference between the 510 and 518? I have the 510.

 

[PZEROFGH]

the mx518 just looks so big and bulky and not wind resistant. unlike the mx510 so sleek and smooth ready to go at super fast speeds.

just look how ulgy that things looks lol.

 

[PZEROFGH]

oh yeah specs, the mx518 can have adjustable DPI to i believe 400 to 1600 where the mx510 is at 800DPI thats probly the only difference

Are you an idiot?

The MX518 is the EXACT SAME SIZE AND SHAPE AS THE MX510! It has the exact same "wind resistance" as the MX510, and I upgraded from a MX500 to a MX518, let me tell you, it's actually LIGHTER than the MX500. Not bulky at all.

You must be new to this sort of thing... :\
