Cure? I’m glad you asked. Its hard to tell from the product photos, but in person it looks and feels like a $15 mouse- The Rival 300 is longer and taller, making it more ergonomic. I bought some brainwavz large ear pads to replace the original pads since they were so thin and the headphones to tend to be a bit tight in the beginning (they loosen up quite a bit over time). The sound quality is INCREDIBLE and the sound doesnt "bleed" - I blasted music on these and put them on, and sat next to my husband as a test. A downside is that since I can’t use the lower belt yet, the upper belts push down on my lower and make them bulge. I love itThese KMC 6-Outlet Surge Protector Power Strips works as advertised. This is the one. These are the least expensive of the lineup I’ve tried and yield a sound quality on par or better than all of the headphones I’ve tried at more than twice the price. The connections where the headphone cups connect to the headband are beginning to crack on mine--its only a matter of time before theyll need taped reinforcements. We use the mouse especially for gaming.
