Hardly any, maybe the size? Its BIG

Author's Review
This headset was a surprise. I had been searching around, looking at various headsets trying to find a great headset for a reasonable price and I defiantly got more than I expected. I was hesitant at first buying from a not so well known company, especially for headsets. I did some research on it and found it to be rated pretty highly but didn't fully believe the reviews. I looked around seeing it was around $70 it was steeper than I wanted to pay, even when the original price was $100. I finally came across a person selling it for $35 shipped so I had to give it a try.
I was immediately surprised by the product. It was packaged in a nice little box, simple yet effective design. I opened it up and was amazed by the cord, this was the sturdiest cord I have seen on a headset. It is quite thick, but I have a feeling I will have no problems with it. There is 2 colors available, black and white. I chose white and it has a sleek and shiny white ear pieces with gray band and cord. It looks very nice, with the Everglide logo printed on each side.
The band was thick and very comfortable, the band alone has enough padding to make a nice little pillow to conform to my head. It adjust like a standard over the ear headset would and very smoothly.
This is not a typical headset, it is 2 speakers with a strap connecting them so to speak. The ear covers are large and extremely comfortable. They have an ear shape cut into a large foam padding which fits snuggly and cancels out quite a bit of noise.
The microphone is a bit different. It is not a typical microphone attached to the headset but a separate item included with the headset. This was a nice feature for me in particular do to the fact I only occasionally use the microphone in game, so having it removable is a nice little feature. The quality of the mic was typical. It was clear and canceled out some extra noises. It clips on to your shirt which is comfortable and not in the way, but may easily be forgotten if you happen to step away from the computer with it on.
The sound quality of the headset was outstanding. It defiantly had the best quality of sound out of any headset I have used. The bass was very deep for a headset with every frequency in between sound clear. I noticed an advantage in the games as it seems to out put "3d" much better. This worked very well in Counter Strike most notably, where I could hear footsteps and locate opposing players with ease simply by the sound of their footsteps.
