Examination:

Examining the Magnum 5.1 USB Headphones their design is similar to the previously reviewed LTB USB headset. These headphones offer 5.1 surround sound in the two headphone cups. On the left cup are mute and volume control buttons. There is also a built-in microphone into the headphones. The microphone does claim noise-canceling abilities, but it is unfortunate the microphone did not offer a boom design, which would be greatly beneficial for LAN parties and other gaming events. The build quality of these headphones is certainly not the best we have come across but they seem suffice for general usage. They are very lightweight so they should remain comfortable during usage for extended periods of time. The headphone band is also padded and can be extended depending upon headsize.
