There isn't anything particularly special about the level of comfort that the Cronos offers.  It is more comfortable than the Level 10M thanks to the lighter weight, but it is still a world away from the SteelSeries Siberia V2.

The most disappointing aspect of the Cronos for us is the cloth-based material used to cover the earpads. We found it to be quite itchy, detracting from the comfort level of the headset.

Those users who have larger or smaller than average heads will appreciate the wide range of adjustment in the headband. This can be adjusted to either side to achieve a perfect fit.

Tt eSPORTS have added a thick pad to the inside of the headband to help spread the weight of the headset evenly across the head.  This makes it more comfortable as it helps to divert the weight from the ears.

When it comes to performance, the Cronos is fairly competent.  We commenced our testing of the headset with some gaming.  In Battlefield 4, we were impressed by the presence and clarity of explosions.  We also noted the fairly balanced soundscape, which doesn't place such a great emphasis on the lower frequencies as some gaming headsets.

We weren't quite as happy with the headset when watching movies.

Firstly we watched the opening sequence of The Dark Knight which highlighted the limited sound-panning ability of this stereo configuration.  Next, we decided to watch the original Die Hard, staring Bruce Willis.  After around 30 minutes the itchy earpads proved too uncomfortable and we found ourselves reaching for the trusty reference SteelSeries Siberia V2 headset.  This issue was present when gaming, however the more involved nature seemed to distract from it more than when watching a movie.

We found the sound balance of the headset pretty neutral when listening to music.  We tested the Cronos with various genres spanning from classical piano to drum and bass and the headset performed consistently. That said, The Cronos doesn't deliver powerful bass, meaning it is not ideal for specific genres which can place a focus on lower frequency response.
