Just what you'd expect it is. And that's awesome.
If you ever just wanted to learn guitar then this game makes it super easy. No joke. It lets you set the difficulty to what your personal skill is at and then it tries to raise your threshold bit by bit as you play. Of course, it requires you to own either an electric guitar or bass to play but if you just have one gathering dust then it's the perfect excuse to pull it out and learn something with help.
Does it actually work? How?:
Yeah it really seems to! What it basically does is it has the score for the music notes set up on a guitar hero-esque rhythm note system and it tells you to play the ones suited for your skill level. As you manage to hit those notes better and more consistently, it adds more from the score and keeps doing this until you manage to play the entire song. You're only limited by your own skill and perseverance.
But I can't play at all. I don't even know the basics!:
That's perfectly fine! The game starts off assuming you know nothing until you tell or show it that you do. It has lessons, different gameplay modes and even mini-games that each are designed to help you learn the many different guitar techniques. Even if you're not sure you're holding the pick right, it has a lesson to guide you on that. If you feel like you need to build up callouses specifically then it has mini-games that will test you strictly on doing slides along strings or bending strings. Spend some time beating your high scores and trust me, you'll feel the burn on your fingertips.
You keep telling me the good parts about it but I'm sure there's something bad right?
I'll be straight. It's not perfect. But needless to say it's almost impossible for it to be when the controller is your guitar and that is where any problems, if any, arise. I've had some personal frustration with getting the game to sometimes perfectly recognize what notes my guitar is playing specifically because the tuning tool on the game is only mildly accurate. Does it work? Yeah sure. But it does sometimes require me to go through it a couple times before the game becomes confident that your guitar is tuned accurately. This becomes an issue sometimes when playing songs and you keep missing notes despite playing them accurately. The truth of the matter is, your guitar is just not tuned correctly when that happens. So I'll sometimes mess with the tuning or go through the tuning tool 2-3 times whenever I change keys. Which is annoying. Yes. THAT BEING SAID. That's literally the only problem I've experienced with the game. Once you're tuned perfectly, the game runs smooth as silk. (With the possible exception of bending strings which can be kind of rude)
One last thing to mention is the massive DLC list you can buy new songs from which they're still adding songs even nowadays. They do run at a pretty steep price of $2.99 a song which is pretty obnoxious, but I can tell you that it's completely worth the money to play some of my favorite songs.
Overall, the game's great. It's easy to use even for an amateur and is great motivation when you have a band supporting you, plus you can hear your mistakes. I've spent countless hours playing it with my friends and it's super fun even in every mode. I plan to keep playing it for years to come because I have a long way to grow.

For quiet home use? Perfect.
When I bought these headphones I had been looking around for a replacement for some cheap ones I had had beforehand that had broken. After shopping around I found these to be a really good balance between high quality and still not too expensive.
I do think they are a little lacking in bass but overall they sound fantastic with a really good balance of sounds. Every sound is most clear.
For those that are looking for casual headphones to use around everyday or on travel, these may not be suitable since they are studio headphones, are quite large and bulky. They cannot be worn around the neck comfortably either.
But for those that are looking for well rounded headphones with strong sound for computer work, sound or music work or for use in an actual studio, they are perfect since they are comfortable and have little to no external noise. The headphones come with plenty of convenient features and are very user friendly.
An ideal medium. Not too pricy nor flashy, but still excellent.

Quick and looks great. Slighty busted and was able to easily fix.
Arrived on time, slightly dirty in the creases. Otherwise looked and felt great. Unfortunately, the left joystick arrived with the L3 functionality broken so that was a little bit of a downer. Since this is an Edge controller I was able to buy a new joystick module for cheap and fix it and now it works perfectly! If it wasn't for that, woulda been a great deal. Still, I'm at least satisfied with it. =)
