Hi guys i just bought a pair of headset that are very similar (almost identical)to the saitek pro flight but at half of the price. the brand is bigben and the model is xphs20 or hs20. I'll post a review as soon as i can test them.

I tested the head phones, sound quality is very good, Compared to my Platronics gamecom the BigBen seem to be more "tight" and defined. Pads insulation is very good and very little sound leaks in or out.
They have a USB connection and the standard analog connection (green and red mini jacks). The analog connection works flawlessly while (on the PC) only microphone woks as USB while headphones do not produce any sound, I checked the manual and USB connection does not seem to be used on the PC (but the mic works anyway), analog by pass cable are given for XBOx and PS3 this leads me to think that this is intentional (since consoles don't have a mic in jack) the side knob on the headset is fake (I'm wondering why they out it in at all) and volume (one pot for listen and one for mic) and mute are on a box on the cable.
