Fun:
Short review.
Headset works well with PS3, no statics or any unwelcomed noise.
Alone in USB slots, along with other devices or charging controllers - everything is fine.
Sound Quality
It is obviously not 200 Pounds headset, so don't expect anything groundbreaking. Sound quality is fine, you can get fairly loud sound without losing it's quality. It is also possible to tell which place sounds come from, that means Stereo works well. On PC, turning headset sound high leads to unwanted statics/sound, so make sure to get computer sound up and only then max out the headset. I have not tested microphone, it is long and flexible.
Built
The headset has ok quality: it does not look rock solid nor that it might break any time.
Comfort
Now this is tricky. My ears are big. It seems that I got some extra ear size in exchange of a smaller... Even after 30 mins my ears find it quite uncomfortable to wear the headset, to I have to constantly adjust the headset. The pads are soft. I have had problems with many headsets, sometimes it was unbearable, but I can wear these.
Connectivity
Supplies with all the wires you need and even one extra (USB2-USB3), no idea what to do with that. Wires can be a little messy, but the main wire which connects headset with other wires is long. I just left the pile of other wires (PS3 AV cable, Headset USB wire, Headset wire which connects to AV cable).
Conclusion
I give this headset a 4.5/5 because of the ear problem. Make no mistake, same would happen with other headsets.
I don't think that Tritton or Turtle Beach 40-60£ range headsets will offer significantly better quality.
If you just want a headset, but you don't have much money, this is most likely the best deal unless you find cheap Tritton or Turtle Beach headsets.

Fun:
This headset is just as good as a turtle beach, especially if you play COD. this headset allows me to hear peoples footsteps in a very sophisticated way that i even know what direction they are coming from - very handy as i play alot of 'search & destroy'.
The cable that connects to the tv is good its not too small but not to big either in length, you also get a velcro strap attached to the cable that you can use to tie up and fold away, the whole thing looks great and feels great. A must buy for any Gamer especially for the price A++++++

There are very few reviews on these headsets, some reviews say that there is hissing comes through the headset with no further explaination whether it can or cannot be fixed! But there are other reviews that say that these headsets are great etc,
Let me tell you that the set I did buy, did hiss annoyingly when I plugged them into my PS3 (usb to PS3 and headphone jack to TV)! I plugged the headset into my pc and there was no hiss!
How did I fix this?
It was very very simple, I have a cooling fan attached to my PS3 which runs off my PS3's second USB port (I have a fatty not a slim), I UNPLUGGED the cooling fan, which left GP1's the only item plugged into my PS3's USB port's! Guess what? No hiss! brilliant! Im now enjoying late night gaming with full STEREO sound!
The other upside to this purchase was that I bought these second hand for around £15! bargain, and if they broke I would have no problem buying them again.

Does your TV have a phono socket?
It took me a while to work out how to connect them.
My TV has no headphone socket so I needed to use the TV's phono sockets. Read more
