I was expecting to look at some cheap sh*t when I looked this up but the specs are rather decent on these. For gaming, frequency response is critical I would imagine. These are fairly decent. It's got a built in microphone, initially I couldn't understand why it was a 4-pole however but I assumed it was just a regular headphone set, which would have been a 3-pole stereo jack (typically 3.5mm).

In my opinion, I would probably favor those specs over the Turtle Beach specs I looked at for the higher frequency response. Additionally, 20Hz - 20kHz, >120dB SPL @ 1kHz for the headphone speakers is most likely a best case specification. Most of the audio data will probably be around 300-750Hz because that's within the range of vocal dialog. 50Hz - 15kHz for the microphone is okay as well, lower and higher end doesn't really matter because vocals are usually within the 300Hz range.
