Great item if it fills your niche
If you need a headset with a dynamic microphone that has an XLR connector output while still taking a 1/4" TRS for input, this product was by far the cheapest way to do it for a long time. It now has competition from the Behringer HLC 660M which I have not personally tried yet but would be inclined to use over this based on positive experience with other Behringer products.
About the headset itself, it definitely feels it's price. It's not the most comfortable headset you can buy, but that seems to be fairly common even amongst much more expensive broadcast headsets. The sound quality from the headset and microphone are also very solid for the money. It even comes with a hard shell case to protect the unit in transportation.
The only significant downside to this headset is the loud crinkling sound that comes through the mic if you have to reposition it during use. This is a problem for my specific use case, but I think most people won't run into this issue on a regular basis - the microphone does stay where you put it.

A useful tool
The microphone generates warm sound with little distortion, similar to other dynamic microphones. The flexible boom arm makes it easy to place the microphone optimally. The output from headphones sounds pleasant, certainly good enough for monitoring and short-term music listening.
Unfortunately, the microphone arm does not pivot, which complicates storage of this rather large headset. Also, the cables used to connect microphone and headphones are close together, meaning that one will need an extention for devices where the XLR and headphone inputs are not in close proximity.

Convenient for 4-5 hours of rehearsal
Excellent for the price. The Mic can be a bit noisy as you crank the preamps up, and it is not the most accurate, but overal very usable. Not for Professional Live performances, but very usable in rehearsal applications and gaming :)

Works fine, but has flaws
The pros:
- Sound quality on the headphone side is more than OK. Not great, but better than acceptable.
- The mic never pops and I've never had a problem with sibilance.
Now the cons:
- As seen in the specs, the frequency response of the mic isn't stellar. You will sound a bit like you're on an old phone.
- Cable noise: If can keep your head perfectly still while using this, then you won't have much noise from the cable. I use a clothespin to keep the cable from moving enough to cause noticeable noise.
- Minor complaint: The clamping force on the headphones is a little much, and thus may not be comfortable for long.

Used during live shows for soundcheck and communicating with stage. Microphone is sensitive enough to pick up small words or expression noises and yet still be heard over the loudness of a FOH PA. Sound quality is good enough, slightly lacking on bottom end but mid to highs is good enough for quick line checks. Prolonged usage may start to press on your ears, but only after three or four hours
