The Cyborg 5.1 headset is constructed very well. The unit itself does not feel flimsy at all and I think that's partly due to the fact that the sliders are made of metal instead of plastic. You'll find soft padding on top of the headset and felt-like padding on the ear cuffs. The cuffs can turn 90 degrees inwards and they can slightly turn outwards. If you look closely, you can see each speaker inside of the headset. The microphone jack is located on the left ear and isn't very noticeable.
