I like how the control buttons are on the earmuff as opposed to a separate control unit attached somewhere on the main cable since the controls don't get in the way and hit your keyboard etc. Dolby sound enhancement on & off switch There are no controls/features on the right side, all of the controls are on the left earmuff: The only area that I think looks a bit cheap is where the earmuffs join to the headband and of course the cable. The headset looks better in real life than the photos online and definitely better than my photos o), it has quite a retro look and feel to it and the colour combination (black + red) looks great. So make sure you don't go over the cable with the wheels on the bottom of your chair! Overall the headset seems very solid and well put together, the only area I feel that could have been better is the cable as it seems rather flimsy, much like what the cheap mice and keyboards use.
7.1 surround sound using Dolby Surround Sound software USB connection only, so you won't be able to make use of a dedicated sound card Overall this specific specification doesn't seem to be much of an issue as some of the best headphones out there use 40mm speakers The speakers are 40mm from research before buying this headset, there are mixed opinions as to if larger is better, most people say that bigger speakers gives you better bass but then there are headphones out there with 50mm speakers and supposedly their bass is poor. When you take into account the price of this headset, you would automatically assume that the features/specifications wouldn't be great, however, they are actually pretty good, a quick look at the main features below:
The setup couldn't be easier! Plug the headset in and install the latest drivers from their site followed with a restart and it was working perfectly on Windows 7 64 bit. Along with the headset, you also receive the CD with the required drivers and a tiny instruction booklet. Nothing too flashy, just a standard gamer looking box with the usual information on the back and sides.
Originally I was going to spend a bit more and get the Creative Aurvana Live headphones and an Asus Xonar DG soundcard but I couldn't justify spending that amount on audio equipment since I am not an audiophile and would still be using my Creative T6100 speaker setup when possible as I prefer speakers overall and have been very happy with the sound quality of them using the on-board audio + from reading around beforehand, the Plantronics Gamecom 780 seemed like they would be at the very least as good as my current setup. There are already a ton of reviews out there but I thought would post my thoughts anyway
