Its not heavy, but it feels solid, and not flimsy/plasticy like some other products. And never again. To summarise:Pros:+ Great headset for gamers on a budget+ Comfortable (after initial break in - demonstrated in video)+ Great overall sound stage+ Designed with gaming in mind+ High quality mic+ Same build ass the other Arctis lineup+ PriceCons:- Could do with deeper Bass- Requires propitiatory cable to connect (included)- Takes a while to break in to your head shape (well it did in my case)Thats it for my brief review - will update if any issues occur in the meantime. The strap has odd sizing and its not for people who have naturally thick muscled ankles. Overall I?m happy with this! There is a minor amount of tracking jitters (like millimeter precisions) that can be hard for some people to notice, but can be incredibly nauseating to others. Even though I read reviews saying they run big and wide I thought they had never owned Uggs because they all do, so I ordered my usual size in Uggs and they were about a half size too big. - There are a couple other minor design differences on the back and bottom. Fits several spice jars. Finally, the carrying case is incredibly lightweight, small, and portable.
