What takes away from the headphones are the quirks though, and unfortunately they outweigh the pros. The pulsing hiss noise is just too much for me and actually angered me at points to where I had to stop using the headset. I don't know what to contribute that to, but it happens even when I am not plugged into any devices, so it is certainly with the headset itself. Also, the lack of a 3.5mm splitter or adapter will make this headset unusable in its full capacity for a lot of people. I was only able to use it on my Mac computers and consoles without buying an adapter, which should not be needed for a $100 headset. Finally, the short cable really was a deal breaker, as I keep my towers on my floor and had to adjust them to do the review. It was very cumbersome. All in all, as much as I wanted to like these Saga headphones, if I were in the market for a new headset, I would have to pass on this one.
