Pros:-Light weight and very adjustable for different head sizes and wearing angles-Comfortable for long sessions-Cup design cuts out environment noise well-Easily accessible controls on the left cup for volume, mic mute, and the surround sound switch-Capable of significantly louder output than some alternativesCons:-Does suffer from occasional interference (To be expected)-The Dolby surround sound emulation seems to induce a noticeable range compression (Probably also to be expected)-----I bought these as a replacement for an older headset which had discrete 5.1 surround that I had used for many years without many complaints until the frame broke. I was a bit torn over the issue of emulated vs true surround in headphones as a replacement but decided to try these out. Unfortunately, I don't have any 7.1 sources to test these out with at the moment but 5.1 sources seems to work nearly as well as with my old headset.I've tested this out with a lot of different music and some movies and the sound is very crisp and the range is fairly good. As is common with comparisons between discrete and emulated drivers, these are capable of significantly louder output than my old headset which I usually kept at around 80-100% volume while I can keep these well below 50% for most things. Even when it is turned up higher, the sound quality seems to stay consistent without additional clipping or noise.The one thing I did notice was that the default settings were pretty distracting when the surround emulation was enabled. There was a slight metallic reverb during quieter scenes of talking and there seemed to be a significant loss of depth to sounds which could otherwise be clearly heard in the stereo mode. I also noticed a little bit of noise on the low end during busy moments. Thankfully, the included software has a 10 bar EQ which can really help lessen the gap between the stereo and surround modes. Just takes some tweaking to find what is acceptable for you.On occasion, the headset has stuttered then died for a couple seconds before returning to normal. I suspect it is due to interference from my wireless adapter which would even cause noise over my wired headset. Not a deal breaking problem but it might be something to keep in mind if you live in much noisier radio environment.One small bonus is that the charging cord (an elaborate usb-microusb cord) includes a usb port on the base so you don't have to sacrifice two usb ports if you want to use and charge your headset at the same time (Since the headset won't play over just the usb cord). But you will have to use two ports if you want to use a more inconspicuous charging cord than the one provided.Another personal bonus is that these are much more comfortable than other headsets I've owned. The cups are plenty deep to avoid compressing your ears and the headband is pretty adjustable. There also seems to be just the right amount of pressure to keep the headset from sliding around too much but not enough to cause a headache after long sessions. The cups also rotate back the full 90 degrees if you need them to.-----In conclusion, this headset seems to be a nice choice for moderate users. I'm sure pickier individuals would find the little problems with the surround emulation too annoying but I'm content with the quality for my purposes. The set is comfortable and portable with good battery life and enough settings in the software to overcome many complaints.

I have been a user of Logitech products for some time. I generally think that Logitech makes the best peripherals for the computer out there. I had high expectations for this product, but unfortunately, it did not meet all of them.First off, here's the good: of course, the wireless is the main feature, and I found that the range was fabulous. This headset comes with a receiver that works very well for me, and I can go very far from the computer without much interference. It also comes with a base for the receiver that is also the charging port for the headset and includes a cable management device. I upgraded to this set from the ClearChat wireless headset, and found that this one does not suffer from range problems the way that the ClearChat did. This headset is comfortable for me. I like the fact that the earphones surround your ear instead of sitting on top of them like they do on the ClearChat wireless headset. I like the fact that the adjustable sides on the headphones are numbered, so you can be exact with how you adjust them. I like the roller for the volume. I also like that this headphone includes both a mute button and also if you raise the flexible microphone all the way up, it mutes automatically. The sound quality on this is actually very good in stereo mode.All of these good features come with some caveats, though. I always make it a habit to go to the manufacturer's website to download the most current drivers for a product before installing it. I got the current drivers for this headset direct from the Logitech website instead of using the ones on the CD as Logitech does a great job of including obsolete drivers with their hardware. I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit. I installed the correct drivers and upon installation the drivers crashed. I was never able to get them to run (clean boot or otherwise). I had to uninstall them and use the ones on the CD. These drivers installed fine, but then when I tried to launch the configuration program it would not open properly. I had to reboot to get it to work right.After that, I could not get the G buttons to work at all, nor could I view the status of the battery charge. The headset is supposed to be 7.1 surround sound capable, but I never get any indication from the software of getting surround sound so I guess I am not getting it. I also don't get any audio or on-screen warning of when the battery is about to go out. I find that it does last about 10 hours, but it would sure be nice to get some warning other than me having to check the left earphone for the status light for a clue. The only feature in the software that works like it is supposed to is the voice morphing, which is a feature that I won't even be using.I contacted Logitech and tried the clean booting and that did not fix the problem. They told me they are reviewing it internally and would get back to me, and that was a good while ago. Because I like the wireless function so much, I am not sure I will return these but I am disappointed that this software is not working the way that I expect Logitech products to work. The wireless function can't be beat, but if you get this you may not be getting all the features that are advertised. Its a shame, because Logitech products usually work well, but this one was not so great.***UPDATED WITH SOLUTION***I wanted to write an update to this review because I finally found the solution to this issue while looking for a fix for another Logitech product I owned. I had an issue with the G700 Wireless Gaming mouse not working, and the fix I found actually worked for this headset as well. I am posting the fix here so that anyone who is having the same issue as me can hopefully find a solution since Logitech has no interest in providing it to their customers. All credit goes to SuicidalPig at the Logitech forums for this one:Disable any reference to Setpoint starting up with Windows via MSConfig. Find the DeviceSettings.exe file (C:\Program Files\Logitech\SetPointG on my Win7x64 system). Rightclick on the file & select 'Properties' > 'Compatibility' Tab & check the box 'Run this program as an administrator'. Click 'OK'After doing this you will have to start the G930 drivers each time you boot the computer manually, but it works perfectly for me now. I am getting the surround sound and it is great. I just wish I had found this fix earlier instead of hearing nothing from Logitech about the issue and finding a fix while looking somewhere completely different. I hope this helps the other people who are having difficulty with this product. I am not revising my rating, however, because I can't get my head around the horrible response from Logitech.

First of all I would like to address all of the one and two star reviews that I read before I purchased this product. Many of them complain about things not working, especially with Windows 7 64bit, however, none of these problems are an issue anymore. Many of the dates on those reviews are from 2009-2010 but Logitech as continued to release new drivers that fix issues. With that being said, do not even bother with the CD in the package as that drivers on that are completely outdated. The CD has version 1.0.xxx, while the latest driver can be downloaded from Logitech directly and at the time of this review is 8.30.86 (See link at end of review). A notably big difference from 1.0. Also disregard any reviews that claim the driver is no longer supported as the latest driver was posted on 06/05/2012.Feature Review: -G Keys: 3 Fully programmable G-Keys. The software gives them lots of functionality. Currently I have them setup with teamspeak. Some said this was not possible but it is simple to setup. Just go into teamspeak, go to shortcut keys and set a key combo. Then in the Logitech software set a G-Key to that key combo. Simple really. -EQ: Nothing more you can ask for. There is a fully 10 channel graphic EQ as well as a simple two channel EQ. To access the graphic EQ click the ">" on the right side of the two channel EQ at the bottom and then "Turn on The Advanced EQ." -7.1 Surround Sound: Works very well. As good as you can expect from a headset. Do note did exceed my expectations. When using the surround sound make sure you flip the switch on the back of the left ear that enables surround sound. I would recommend running the included 7.1 surround sound test. -Voice Morphing: A novelty really but it works. I don't plan on using it but all the voice did work. -Wireless Range: Better than I expected! Works through walls and in different rooms as advertised. -Mic Sensitivity: INCREDIBLE. You will defiantly need to adjust the sensitivity in windows and other apps that you use. The mic was able to record me whispering "1,2,3" as quietly as I could so it hears everything. -Speakers and Noise Canceling: Works well. It does not block 100% of sound but nevertheless it is effective at blocking most sound and focusing your attention on what is playing on the headset.Other Features I liked:I love the volume control and mute buttons. The volume control is digital and actually controls windows volume which really impressed me and is a really useful feature. I also love the red LED on the mic boom that indicates if the mic is muted and in case anyone was wondering the mic does mute itself when it is placed in the upright position.I was also very impressed with the cable management in the wired usb connector. The cable spins up tightly and locks into place (hard to explain but trust me it is very nice). Also the usb receiver plugs into this meaning you only plug in one usb to the back of your computer and you are set for charging and operation.Good batery life and short(ish) charge time.The packaging should win an award!Cons: -Did not come charged at all -***The only problem I had with this device is when I was first trying to get it working I had one small problem. The driver was not working and none of the buttons on the headset did anything. If you have this problem where nothing seems to work (easy to know if you have this problem if the red mic mute LED is not coming on) just exit the driver software and turn off the headset. Then start the driver software and THEN turn on the headset. This worked for me. If this does not work for you try turning the headset off and then back on while the driver software is still running.Overall:A really wonderful product that I highly recommend!!!Driver :[...]

This headphone is pretty good for what it is intended for. I'm not sure I'm hearing the "7.1" but it does give you a sense of sound coming from all directions. I bought this one first but figured I didn't really need the wireless so I returned it and went with the G35. It is essentially the same headset but wired (and it was on sale for eighty bucks). For a computer headset, I don't see the need for a wireless headset since you are sitting next to your computer anyway (for consoles I can see wireless being better).Quality of sound: The drawback is that the sounds are in 16-bit 44.1KHz and I believe only up to 96KHz. This is plenty good and CD-quality. I don't think the mini drivers in this headset can really make 24bit 192KHz sampling shine anyway - like a good amplified studio headset which will cost way more (~$500). I have a Bowers&Wilkins p5 headset I use for two-channel stereo music and the G35 doesn't quite measure up to that headset when listening to music, but I didn't buy this set for music so it doesn't matter to me. But that's a relative measurement, it's better than most headphones you can buy that are under $50 bucks I'd say.Mic: Mic seems to work as intended. There are some voice morphing capabilities, but I'm not really intrigued by it. All my friends are able to hear me clearly and to me that's the only thing that matters. The mic is bendable and retracts into place fine (for now).Connectivity: USB only. So that means it's strictly a PC headset. For those of you who don't understand this concept, I'll explain it a little bit here. That means that the headset has it own DAC (digital to audio converter) built-in and bypasses your sound card. So it doesn't matter if you have a Soundblaster or Turtlebeach or onboard Realtek soundcard, it doesn't use any of that. It will operate as its own and recieve all the digital signal and converts that to analog signals. In other words, you are buying a soundcard + headphone + mic. If you're hoping to use the "quality" sound card you have in your computer, you should get a different headset - like the Razer Tiamat.Comfort: I've used it all day playing FPS and it doesn't bother me. It has a "replacable" head pad if you have a different head shape or what not. The volume on the left cup is handy. I don't liek the G-keys. They are not "customizable" and you are limited to assign somewhat useless command for media applications. It may come useful if you use it for voice morphing shortcuts. I kinda hope it wasn't there because I accidently press on them when I put the headset on or take it off.Wireless: It has good range, probably no more than 30 feet. I didn't really hear any major "delay" and it didn't interfere with my wireless internet signals. I just didnt' see myself straying away from my computer to pay the wireless premium so I exchanged it for the G35. I really liked that Razer Tiamat, but I didn't want to invest in a sound card.I gave it four stars because it does what I want but it is not the "best headset" that is worth the real "retail cost," but I bought it on-sale (the G35). The Razer Tiamat sounds much better, but you have to invest in a good sound card so that's an "added" cost if you don't already have a good sound card.

After 3 Months of regular use.Good1. In game sound. The 7.1 really sounds nice.2. Has a nice well built feel.3. Three configurable controls to fiddle with. I use mine to control Media Player.4. Logitechs software is easy to use and covers all Logitech G series devices.5. Quality music playback when in Stereo mode.6. Mic is very good. Flip up to mute feature rocks.7. 7.1 for movies/TV is nice.8. Controls are well laid out and easy to use. Volume adjust in particular is splendid. Did I mention that the flip up to mute mic feature rocks?\9. Good volume. I like my music and games loud. These do just fine.Bad1. Small. If you have a large head these are gonna be a bit tight. Don't get me wrong the headset themselves are good sized, but the part where your head fits was defiantly designed for smaller people. They seem to be loosening a bit with time so i'm hopeful.2. Small ear cups. Yes I have a big head, but no I don't have big ears. They simply don't fit well on normal man sized ears.(dumb on Logitechs part make them bigger and they fit everyone fine)3. Comfort. The padding and covering on the ear cups is mediocre at best, combined with with the above issues on longer sessions (1.5 hours or so for me) they start to bother you.4. In 7.1 mode if you listen to music while gaming some songs can get extremely muddy. I'm not talking big bass songs, the headset just doesn't like some songs in 7.1. I listen to mostly 70's and 80's rock. This is an issue only when listening to music and a game in 7.1. Switch it back to stereo and no issue at all.5. One pet peeve. Mainly for Logitech if they happen to read this. You don't need a Hold the button down power off switch. Where the button is there is no way you accidentally turn these off. And quit frankly the button is nuts. Sometimes it takes 2 seconds, sometimes it takes 4, and anywhere in between. I seldom get these to turn off on the first try.Neutral1. Wireless. Its works. I've had no real issues. No static and the connection generally holds well to about 40 feet or so. On occasion they have had an issue holding the connection at any range, but this has only happened a couple of times in the 3 months.2. Battery seems good so far. Easily get 4-5 hours out of charge. Time will tell how long it will be able to keep that up. Battery is replaceable.OverallA good gaming headset that is solid for music. Not designed for a head running a 7 1/2 military hat size (usable but not designed). If you have big ears walk away, yes just walk away. I held these in my cart till the price dropped to $70. At that price I am very pleased. If I had paid much more than that they would have gone back based on the comfort factor.

I have to give this a five-star rating, based on my use of previous products. Most especially the Tritton AX720 and the Tritton AX Pros.Here's a little synopsis of my issues with Tritton headphones:Both my Trittons have excessive wires all over the place. Never mind that I can't dial in decent audio with either set. The AX PROs actually sound better than the AX720s, which are brittle and weak-sounding with very muddy bass levels.I hate that you can't get hi-def audio from any SS headphones yet. I can't watch my blurays with headphones on unless I want crappy stereo. By crappy I mean that it's not just IN STEREO, but it sounds hollow and distant, with little to no resonance. Also neither Tritton set accepts BOTH analog and spdif inputs; you need to plug in one or the other (and adjust audio options in control settings), so I would be switching out the input/outputs based on what I needed for best audio choice at any given time, and I am not fond of using just the USB audio drivers. It's ironic that the "lower-end" Trittons perform better with binaural than the actual 6-speaker headset- After trying several other headphones, I was never satisfied with the surroundsound capabilities; those that delivered in that department really failed in fidelity and audio clarity.This was my last-ditch effort in finding decent headphones, and they were on sale for a decent deal so I snatched them up.I'm glad I did.I like being able to switch between 7.1 audio or Dolby stereo on the fly with a mere flick of the switch on the side of the earpiece. For gaming, the 7.1 is reliable and well positioned. For TV shows and most music, I switch the option off. All without having to get up and move inputs around, go to control panel, etc...I was wary about using USB-based audio decoding, but so far it's worked well for me and I have had no hiccups. Playing TF2, CS: S, Batman: Arkham City, Insomnia and a handful of other titles worked great.Even better is they are wireless, so that's just one less cable to clutter up my sitting area! Yes! Some say these are a little heavy, but I haven't noticed much discomfort while wearing them for three hours. I also enjoy being able to walk around my place while listening to a program without tripping over wires or having to take the phones off.The mic is more sturdy and reliable than other headphones I've had. Setup was easy.Audio quality is good-to-great. For other HPs in this category, it's probably the best. I highly recommend tweaking settings in the ADVANCED equalizer in order to get a more pleasing sound. What these phones do it does well, but not top-tier compared to other stereo headphones, even within the price range. But you don't have to compromise much. Bass is balanced, mids are clear and highs are not too screechy. Once again, advanced equalizer settings in the control panel makes a big difference.Overall, I can't really praise these enough. For those searching for 5.1/7.1 audio headsets, this is a good option.Pros:Wireless7.1 audio works well, especially compared to other sets I've triedCan switch to stereo and back quicklyDecent sound quality within the three major rangesEasy to set up and get going right off the batCons:The USB wireless hub could use better wire managementHeavy (compared to other headphones, but I wasn't bothered by it)Have to recharge batteries after 10 hours, making on-the-go use with portable equipment a possible hassleNo caseNo extra earmuffs or other goodiesThese get my seal of approval.

||||||||||||||||||||||5/10 Amendment||||||||||||||||||||||I wanted to point out something that several customers have mentioned.It is indeed true that the cushions surrounding the earmuffs on this headset may tend to rest on pressure points just behind the jaw. While I can (and usually do) adjust them so they don't, I have noticed this occurring if I just throw them on without thinking twice.The cushions are not stiff; they are very soft, but the placement of the earmuffs may cause a little tension behind the jaw for some, which may feel uncomfortable. Just a heads up to potential buyers.||||||||||||||||||||||4/27 Amendment||||||||||||||||||||||The new software for the headset (v 1.00.364) addresses noise cancellation, and by that I mean the headset now does noise cancelling!This headset is now perfect. :)**WARNINGFairly lengthy review ahead. Proceed at your own risk!**I owned a wireless headset prior to this one, the ASUS HS-1000w, and it was great for what it did. However, over time and use, the dongle shorted out and part of the headset where the swivel starts began breaking (this is a common occurrence) -- for both the original and the RMA replacement. So I searched for totally new headset as replacement, and I came across Logitech's G930 and F540 and had to decide between the two.Since at the time the F540 was about $150 and the G930 was on sale at $120 ($119.99 when purchased, $117.99 at the time of this writing), the choice was obvious.I have owned the G930 headset for about a week, and here are my thoughts.The package comes with the headset, the dongle, the REALLY COOL rounded charging base (that has inlets that hold the two extra long cables [a WONDERFUL welcome after the obnoxiously short charging cable for the HS-1000w], one for USB and one for USB micro, which plugs into the headset) with its own USB port (which is a REALLY nice feature so I don't have to unnecessarily occupy an extra port to charge and use), and the software CD. The software CD does come with the up-to-date stable software, the same that can be downloaded from the Logtech website.And as an additional note, the USB port on the charging base acts as any regular old USB port, so if I want to charge the headset but use the port on the base for a flash drive or external hard drive or anything else, I have no limits!(...Well, except that I can only use one device in the base at a time.)**[[SEE AMENDMENT AT END OF REVIEW ABOUT BASE]]**The description claims 10 hours of battery, and I have yet to use up all 10 of these, but I will say that I have used it for several hours countless times so far and have yet to hear the "low battery" notification that plays through the headset. What's more, the software gives me a meter and number measurement of how much battery remains or, when charging, how long until fully charged. Very nice!The software allows adjustment of volume, microphone, Sidetone, and treble and bass levels without touching the equalizer, which can be turned on and off. It also has built-in voice morphing with a "voice preview" option and pitch calibration levels, so you deep talkers won't have it throwing virtual question marks at your unexpectedly low voices. The software also has a surround sound mixer, allowing adjustment of the volume levels for each individual speaker. And lastly, the software has customization for the headset's G-keys, allowing each of the 3 buttons to have a wide range of functionality, from voice morphing to controlling music to push-to-talk to allowing you to select specific functions for unlisted applications!Sound Quality:When in stereo mode, the sound quality is fantastic. The bass is just the right amount -- not too much, not too little. The treble is of the same caliber, and even if they were not the appropriate levels, the software that comes with it (actually very well-made software, too, despite what some people have said) has an equalizer to adjust audio levels. Now, I'm not a surround sound aficionado, but when in 7.1 mode, things sound a little like I am in a tin can. After a while I get used to it and can distinguish between the 7 different speakers, but at first it's strange -- and it affects voices as well, so if I am in a game using 7.1 and talking with someone, they are strangely echoey. Nonetheless, the actual sound quality while in 7.1 mode is, just like stereo mode, excellent. I did notice that 7.1 mode seems to have slightly boosted output levels than stereo mode, and have found most of my games' sounds have occasionally peaked, causing some crackling and distortion. This would normally be a problem if irremediable, but turning down the application volume (not the volume of Windows) corrects this. Guess they got a little overzealous about sound output for surround mode, eh?Microphone quality:The ASUS had decent microphone quality, but one big problem I noticed is it seemed to have a threshold for the higher frequencies, and it was VERY noticeable. I have had no such microphone pro

Way back in 2002 when surround sound on computers meant quadraphonic, and Zalman was just getting founded as a company: I created a pair of DIY surround sound gaming headphones by modifying a pair AKG 280 headphones.Since that day I have only played games using surround sound headphones of one sort or another.For the past few years I have used a pair of Turtle Beach HPA2 headphones. They have worked well, and still sound great to this day, except they are simply falling apart from use. I was a bit hesitant to give up my XFI sound card for a USB version of audio, but so far have had no issues. I was also apprehensive about giving up a set of heaphones with 8 individual speakers to one with just two, and Dolby headphone processing.I bought the wired version of the Logitech 7.1 headphones, but returned them when I found the wireless pair weighed almost the same, and weren't much more expensive. I have been using them for a few weeks now, mostly playing Left4Dead2, watching movies, and listening to music.First, the actual audible sound quality. Near perfect in my opinion. The audio is balanced and detailed, the bass doesn't overdrive the rest of the tones, and the mid-range isn't muddy. The multi-band EQ is a great touch that the wired version didn't have, and is great for music, but I didn't find myself enabling it in games.Surround sound quality: Great. The "feel" of the surround sound is amazing, as far as the ability to detect where and how far a sound is coming from. In Left4Dead2 I can call out "smoker at three o-clock" or "charger behind us" without even looking. The only time the positioning seems to get a bit muddy is if something is RIGHT behind you, in which case it sort of sounds like "dead center" instead of "behind center". The surround sound even does pretty good with music, but I find myself turning it off for that. What is nice is changing between surround sound and stereo is a simple hard switch on the headphones, no need to open up a configuration application.Microphone sound quality: Also great. The microphone is top-notch. You can turn on the voice repeat feature and hear it for your self. There are two issues with the microphone though. First, the mic does pick up a lot of outside sounds when your NOT talking. It picks up the smallest mouse click in a quiet room. It does however seem to compensate for loud rooms. At a LAN party it didn't pick up everything and only seemed to pick up voices, however not always my own voice. Second, even if the "side channel" sound some sound from the microphone is always fed back into the headphone signal. Even if you press the mute button on the headphones, if you scratch the surface of the mic you can head it in the audio. And it's and electrical connection too, not a vibration traveling up the headset. It does turn off entirely when the mic is "docked" at the top of the headset. Perhaps Logitech added this so you could hear yourself?Noise isolation: The ear muffs on these are very good at cutting out outside noise. In fact I think Logitech put in the side channel control just so you could head someone nearby talk. This is great at a LAN party where you want to hear the game, but also bad when say someone is trying to get your attention.Comfort: Despite being HUGE, and fairly heavy, the headphones are very comfortable, and I can wear them for hours besides one issue: They push on the arms of my glasses. Which many headphones do, but due to the noise isolation foam being pretty strong, it can start to wear on me.Battery life: So far I have been able to game for many hours or more on the headphones with no issue, I never measured the exact amount. The manual says it will warn you before they stop working, however the one time I did run them to zero the warning was only seconds before they shut down. But since you can just plug in the USB and keep playing while charging, this really isn't an issue. They are wireless headphones 99% of the time. The do seem to take a few hours to charge. The software keeps a good readout of exactly how much battery you have left, and I often keep it open on a second monitor. The charging cord is long enough to work as a headphone cord.Range: I was able to walk to the kitchen and get a drink without loosing audio., about 150ft and though four walls.Cons and improvements:-Side buttons could do a lot more. You can get some plugins but they have to be hard-coded and aren't very flexible.-There is no real quick way to switch between USB audio for the headphones, and on-board audio for my speakers. I used a shortcut program and the side buttons to switch between them, but there could be a more elegant solution. For example, I would like it if I actually power off the headphones, the Logitech program could detect it and switch back to my secondary preferred sound output.-More warning about impending battery failure would be great. When mine failed it was in the middle of a gauntlet event where I had zero time to find my charger cable

I was a Plantronics fan for the longest time. Never bought any other headset and was a Razer fan for the mouse and keyboard. Come time for some upgrades and I went Logitech for EVERYTHING. Got myself a mouse (wireless), keyboard, and this headset. I thought $100, this ought to be good. Afraid not.First headset came in the mail and was amazing. Sound quality was solid, voice quality decent, and SO comfortable. I could wear these for hours on end and not even notice. That's where the problems occured.I found myself at the keyboard on my days off for about 6-8 hours. At first I thought, I don't really need this to be wireless so I plugged the gigantic (as in LONG) USB plug in and straight to my computer. Thought process was that I could charge and use at the same time. Wrong.Apparently this headset uses up too much juice faster than it recharges. Weird. I thought it was a fluke but turns out not so much.I would experience extremely LOUD and shattering squealing sounds from the headset before it would turn itself off. This is actively charging. Turns out the battery kept dying and that was it's way of saying, "Put me to bed". This happened a dozen times before I said "F this" and sent it back assuming the battery was faulty.I received a second headset and all was well. I ran it multiple days with no problems while on vacation and even decided to instead plug it directly to a wall outlet instead of the computer. Thought process... more juice and more reliability. Nope.After about four or five days... same problem. The headset squeals and then turns off. I thought the first time it happened was a fluke. It didn't happen again for a couple days, then started up yet again. Now I'm getting constant deaths from this thing right in the middle of something important (recording a video, playing a game, etc). It's frustrating.I went out and looked for some support. Tried the Logitech forums and made two threads. Nothing. I did find a near hundred people in various places with the exact same problem. Initially people were assuming it was driver related, but for the second go, I didn't even install the Logitech drivers. I actually wiped all drivers off the computer and used the motherboard audio driver instead. Makes absolutely no difference.So... I'm at a loss. I don't think I can even return this a second time... but then if I did what would I do? Get another one? Seems to me that Logitech needs to fix this issue and do it NOW before more people have this problem. The gaming organization I'm in now found these for less than $100 and were all wanting to buy them up. I told them about my problem and they canceled their purchases. I can't imagine that's what Logitech wants.If someone knows a solution to this problem, do let me know. But as far as I'm concerned... buyer beware.

I can't really say anything that others haven't said before.The headset is very comfortable, and I have a biggish head. Any complaining about it being tight either have a gigantic sized head, stewie griffin shaped head or dumbo ears. If your ear (or any part of it) gets under the actual foam that rests on your skin then you're in for problems because it sits securely on the face as it's supposed to (so sound doesn't come in or leak out). Your ear is supposed to fit on the inside of the cup (in a huge rectangular space). The cups swivel so there's really no reason to not be able to set them squarely over the ears.It feels well constructed and I can't really imagine how a certain reviewer claimed his/hers snapped. You'd have to be really rough for any part of this thing to "snap". The swivel mechanism seems to be metal - I haven't dissected mine to find out. I would say though, that if you treat it like a piece of electronic equipment and not yank it off the head, bend it out of shape, pull or tug at it, I'm not sure how they could break. But this is coming from someone who has no scratches on his 2 year old ex-smartphone (and it isn't skinned or in a case or using a screen protector) so maybe I'm just careful with my stuff.What I really like about these are the versatility. I HATE being tied down by cables when it comes to earphones/headsets. I have, for a very long time moved on to wireless. I use bluetooth with my cell phones and tablet and have some bluetooth headsets that since Windows 7 don't work very well despite the newest drivers being installed; which is why I decided to search for a gaming wireless headset. Before these I owned some Plantronics wired and they were pretty great but this really takes the cake. The bluetooth headsets I use (dell and motorola) can't hold a light to the distance and clarity of the G930 and the only thing they really hold over these are that they work with more than just computers.I have no complaints about the stereo sound - it sounds pretty good on my system and the surround is the best I've heard from any headphone, period. Of course I'm no Pro at "audio" so maybe I'm missing something.I use these to 1. play WoW 2. voice chat on skype, gtalk, vent, etc. 3. listen to music at blaring levels and 4. listen to whatever I'm watching on my PC....assuming I don't feel like using my speaker system for 1, 3 and 4.Performance-wise I have no complaints either. They're simply great. I haven't really played with programming the GKeys for gaming yet, I use them to control WMP. The voice morphing is neat but not something I'll use often. I love the clarity of the mic - and boy is it clear. I will never buy non-noise cancelling gear again. It's great to be able to chat with confidence to people and not worry about my friends burping loudly or doing anything else embarrassing in the next room.They do seem to clock in at around 10 hrs of use, but I'm sitting 3 feet from the dongle. I'm assuming more distance away can wear it faster so people 10+ feet away may get a bit less juice. The trick is to charge it up fully and use it till it dies or is about to die, then the software will get a true reading of the battery level (something that is true of wireless mice as well).I do have my worries...one problem with the Plantronics is that the headband got loose over time. I doubt it will happen with these, it's very solid feeling and on a metal 'base' so there are no plastic pegs to break or loosen, but there's always a possibility.I also dislike that the ear cups don't seem to be replaceable which means that when they wear and literally tear (or accidentally, without the wear part), it's on to a new pair. There doesn't seem to be a replaceable battery so in the end it seems that maybe Logitech has set a "lifecycle" of about 4-5 years which for the price isn't terrible but it's going to be a hard sell for some people who like keeping their stuff for 5+ years. I paid $50 for the Plantronics and they survived for 4 years so it sounds about right (in the end, the cable did these in).Can things go wrong with it? I'm sure. It's wireless and anything wireless can give trouble. If your house/apt. is saturated with wifi signals I'm sure there could be an issue. If you have really thick or true cement/stone/brick walls I'm sure you won't get the huge area of connectedness that others get. But that's not really the point, imho. It's to lose the wires. The freedom to get up and go someplace else in your home without having to remove them. The ability to sit 10+ feet away from your 50inch LED TV that you're playing WoW on and not interrupt your family members in their respective areas with speakers. And for these and other creative reasons, they work and work well.

I received my set on Apr 29, 2012 and this unit has served me well.PROS:-Excellent gaming surround sound.-I am getting about 7 hours between charges.-Range is as advertised, if not better. Hadn't realized it until I was writing this review, but I had never taken the set to a point where it went out of range. Then again, I live in a one story bungalow. None the less, the signal easily goes through these old plaster walls of mine without a drop. For this review, I went to my basement to see if I would lose the signal. I did, but that's about 50 feet, a closed kitchen door and a floor away. They definately have the range specified.-I am not an Audiophile, but I enjoy my music using this set (Listening to Supertamp "Crime of the Century" as I write this). I do listen using them alot, but once again..I'm not an audiophile. If you're not critiquing whether or not the latest remaster of your favorite album was an improvement, you will be A-OK with the 930. I can hear no distortion (to me that means, it still sounds good) even with the bass maxed out in the software.-Charge while using. A BIG plus for me. Just plug 'em in and keep on playing/listening while charging. The wiring is quite lengthy. The time between charges is so generous you WILL forget to charge them up at times. No problem!!! Just don't walk away with them hooked up!!!- Comfortable. Very light, but not "cheap." I wear eyglasses (you should have known that already...I'm listening to Supertramp...No spring chicken ya know). Very comfortable during very long listening/gaming sessions. This is not my first headset, but it is DEFINATELY the most comfortable.- On set volume control wheel. Very nice!!! Large...easy to access. Not like others I have owned that have you searching for that tiny thumb-wheel on the wiring. This is a great feature.CONS:- The on/off switch is hard to press. Nit picking, and probably by design so it's not accidently turned off. Could be called a feature.Look. I honestly tried and thought hard about "The CONS" and can't find anything beyond that. I WANT to tell you the BAD in my opinion, but there is nothing I can think of beyond that...and again...I have used them for 3 months.If they died tomorrow (God forbid), I would be unhappy, but I like them so much I would buy another pair hoping that the second pair would last. I can't recommend them highly enough.I have the software installed, but only use it to see how much time is left on my charge. I have fiddled around with the available equalizer/voice morph etc., but I just keep everything on the default settings. The help files (online manual essentially) in the installed software are in depth and informative.I don't MMO so I can't review the microphone, other than to say that Microsoft Voice Recognition understands me unlike my ex-wife ;). I have not programmed the keys and do not intend to. None the less, for this review I used the pre-programmed keys to control Windows Media Player from a distance of about 30 feet and they were able to control the program without issue.Buy it. Heck, if price is an issue, gamble on a refurbished one that is warrented if available. These things are that good!!!! Logitech Wireless Gaming Headset G930 with 7.1 Surround Sound

I purchased a pair of these headphones on Black Friday, primarily to use for online gaming. Initially, the idea sounded great - No cords, simply flip-up boom mic, etc.When I got them, I was initially very happy - They seemed to do everything that I hoped they would with a few minor annoyances.As I've kept using them and the glamour has faded, I'm realizing that those minor annoyances have become much more of a pain and it's not really worth putting up with the hassles anymore.Pros:The battery life is pretty decent - It seems like I was getting 5-6 hours of play time out of them on wirelessThe sound is quite good - I was quite happy with how they sounded and had no problems with clarity, etc. Maybe not quite as clear as I had hoped, but OK.The range is exceptional - I could almost walk to the other end of our (large-ish) house and they kept working.The G keys are very handy for listening to music - Being able to easily move between songs is quite nice, especially shuffling through a large music library.Cons:Weight. These things are very, very heavy and you feel it bearing down.These 'phones are also very large - My kids can't use them at all. If you have a small head, look elsewhere.Reliability is poor - It seems like they often flake out on me - Sound goes away, they start to squeal loudly in my ears, etc. This happens when wireless or plugged in. Powering them off and back on usually works, but sometimes I have to hold the power button down to "reset" them. (And, I'm like 2' from the transmitter with clear line-of-sight, so there isn't any interference)The G-Key volume control works very sporattically - Not a biggie for me since I use a Logitech keyboard (which I LOVE!) and use it's volume controls.When plugged in, the micro-USB plug on the supplied cord seems like it's very invasive and isn't placed well. It gets in the way and feels like it makes the cord hang strangely.Lack of an effective auto off - It seems that if I leave the headphones unplugged but turned on they will drain the battery down to nothing and die. It's a hassle to have to to continually plug them in when I'm done. It almost feels like I spend so much time plugging and unplugging that it's not worth it.All in all, not my best Black Friday purchase. I've finally just switched back to my Creative HS-800 Fatal1ty Gaming Headset that I've used for many years. Sure, it doesn't have the convenience of wireless or G Keys, but they are comfortable, light, sound great and... well.. Work!

Well, Ive had this headset for a couple months now. I must say, I really like the headset, its not super heavy, and it fits decently well on my head. I love the fact that its wireless as well. the sound is pretty good and it certainly made my gaming experience much better.however, if it was only the headset, I would have given it 5/5 stars as the price is great for such a headset... the thing that really kills it is the fact that the software you use to control everything about the headset is a steaming pile of crap. the software that comes on the CD in the package is not even worth installing, instead go to the official website and get the most up to date drivers and controller, that would solve the majority of your headaches, but thats just switching from something that both doesnt work and gets in your way, to something that doesnt work; at least then it wont get in your way... as much...the ability to customize the programmable buttons depending on what game you are playing is useless, as it either does not work, or it actually resets. I cant tell you how many times the software says that my headset is fully charged, I unplug it, and get only half an hour of battery life... then combined with the number of times that my programmable buttons were just plain not working. I think Ive just come to accept that the volume wheel just doesnt work, even if it worked perfectly fine the first week I had the headset. the software is inaccurate at measuring battery life, and incapable of properly assigning functions to the programmable keys.one problem I kept on running into was the fact that my headset would start buzzing, it starts off barely noticeable, and then it just grows till it feels like its stabbing itself into your skull, shortly after, the headset will just die. apparently its a problem with the battery/software. as the software is incapable of properly detecting the battery level of your headset half the time, normally, it would beep when there is approximately one hour left of battery, then automatically shut off when the charge gets too low. unfortunately it doesnt always catch the low battery charge. I think the buzzing is caused by the low voltage the battery gives right before its not enough to properly function. so, when it starts buzzing, immediately turn it off, doesnt matter if its plugged in or not, TURN THE HEADSET OFF, which you can do by having it unplugged, and holding the power button down for about 5 seconds, when you let go, it should turn off. after that, plug (or replug) the headset in and keep it off for a minute or two to let the battery get enough charge to properly function, then when you turn it back on, the buzzing should be gone.so, in the end, great headset, light, comfy, and good sound; ruined by the steaming pile of crap software that they claim will help you control your headset.

OMG.. i have had tons of headsets in the past as i am an avid gamer and music lover. I recently purrchased the Plantronics audio 995 or whaterer it was called. got it home and it was junk. 4 hour charge time adn you couldnt use it while charging. didnt even turn it on so i went back to best buy and picked up this MONSTER of a machine.SOUND QUALITY-----just pulling it out of the box i got chills as to how well it felt. popped in the dvd and ran through set up wich was very easy.. then i connected it to the Charge base / wireless tower. (wireless and charger cable from one usb port? OMG YES) turned it on and clicked the "Expirence 7.1 surround button"Let me tell you... i didnt know music could sound this good. The intro and demo music gave me Goosebumps at LEAST 5 times.. immediatly boppin my head to the random music that was probably made just for the tutorial. So i immediatly started playing some of my favorite songs and i heard a little part of a song i had never heard before and it sounded like it was comming from my kitchen and scared the crap out of me and i turned around real fast thinking someone had broke in my house LOL.Currently listening to some heave bass techno songs testing out its high and low limits. My computer volumes is max, my media player volume is max, and my headset volume button is at max... NO DISTORTION.. Crystal CLEAR even at MAX volume but a little too loud at max for my ear drums to process.. knocking it back a little is spot on.Bass is excelent... if you have ever been in a car with subs.. this is comparable... except the crap hanging from your rearview mirror wont dance around LOL.Settings and hardware-------The setting are easy to use and well laid out..drop down menus for each of the 3 hardware buttons wich seem well placed on the left earpiece and easy to find.really like the option to change the voice by pushing one of the bottons (optional by the drop down menu) 6 or 7 different voices to choose from.Pros:Awesome Sound qualityGreat hardware.. feels comfortable...ear holes are big enough for my ears (and Ipso facto should be big enough for yours :P)mic is fairly easy to move and doesnt move on its owncharge while using it !!!!!!battery low notification on taskbar and audible warning (both optional)comes with a 6 hour chargetells you how long untill it will be fully charged when charging (in the settings page)allows for setting up profilesoption to turn surround offvolume is a roller that is easy to use and feels comfortable to use and easy to find.Cons:In the song 300 violin orchestra by Jorge Qui i can only hear 297 of the violins. for shame :Pthere really are not any cons.it is going to make it difficult to watch Big Bang Theory and play games lolI do have a suggestion for Microsoft that could be considered a con i guess.the right side of the head phones has NO buttons. it looks good but i think one big mute button or a kill all sound buttoncould have been a nice fit here... like if you think your phone is ringing you could reach up and hit that to find out.would be a nice addition.. also the addition of bluetooth to make it so when someone called my phone the headset would let me knowand allow me to answer it and use the headset to talk.No realy problems with the hardware and seeing as the 2 suggestions i have are not intended to be on this headset they cant really be considered cons.Save your money and get this... you will be more then happy with the price when you get these things on your ears and hit that "expirence surround button"Will recommend to EVERYONE i know that uses headphones.

I wanted to purchase a good quality wireless headphones for listening to music and/or gaming. I expected top of the line quality hardware and software when i was paying above $150 for this. Unfortunately i am quite disappointed with the overall experience after 1 years of use. Please read on;Pros:Good sound qualityit has surround sound.Cons:Not a real 7.1 surround sound deviceFrequent audio drops, wired or wirelessInterference on 2.4 Ghz band with other wireless devices (routers !!)Poor battery performancepoor software driver qualityFirst of all this is not a true 7.1 surround sound device, surround sound is generated by software emulation and sent to two drivers. This however doesnt work well all the time. Occasionally sound comes stronger on the right side, unless you restart whatever you are listening. Very same emulation/usb drivers also faults, causes audio disconnects, either when there is another 2.4Ghz band device nearby that interferes or another (usb) device in your PC takes an interrupt precedence and causes a CPU spike. Regarding sound quality, it is ok, but it is not awesome. I have owned a Sony headphone (Sony MDR-V6 Monitor Series Headphones) that had better sound quality then this device, it has worked 13 years, I am quite sure they were cheaper. As a comparison they had stronger base sound, cleaner and crisper meds and treble than this headphone.Now lets move on to the most annoying problem of this headphones; On Windows 7 64bit, when connected to a USB2 port, including the latest drivers from logitech website (date 8/12/2012), device will randomly disconnect (sound will drop) and connect back again. The problem happens even when it is connected and charging. Originally I have attributed this problem to a driver bug but after updating the drivers over the course of the last year problem has continued to happen. Logitech forums are full of people complaining about the audio drop problem since August 2010. Unfortunately this headphones are using ever crowded 2.4Ghz range, and interfering with wireless routers. There is no way to identify which channel the device functions (it comes receiver/headphones paired to use a 2.4Ghz channel between 1 to 11). If your neighbours router is using the same channel with your headphones, you are out of luck (unless of course you go ask them to change it).I should have returned it instead of waiting for a driver update.This is the second time I am disappointed with Logitech product. My logitech harmony remote's LCD screen (most expensive version again) has also faulted after 1 year of use (w/o any drop). At this point I am not sure whether the company's products are really good quality.I'd say stay away from this headphones, look for something else.

The headset itself, when it is working, is actually really good. The problem is that the drivers have a conflict with USB 3 motherboards, which is a lot of motherboards and logitech doesn't seem to be able to fix it. That or they just don't care!Sometimes you turn your computer on and the headset wireless dongle picks up and all is mostly well. I'll explain the mostly well in a moment. Other times you turn on your computer and the wireless connector isn't recognised. I have found that plugging the dongle into other ports and restarting the computer sometimes has the system suddenly recognise the headset again and you can use it - mostly... Other times I have just had to re-install the software to get the system to recognise the USB wireless dongle...When the headset is usable it sounds great and works a charm while it's working. But it has a tendency to simply drop out and turn itself off (some people on the Logitech forums are complaining that there is a time-out that activates but I can't confirm that that is a problem with the Headphones turning off.) So in the middle of a game suddenly your headset isn't working... after a lot of messing around and reading forums I found that an older set of drivers is better, but not 100%.In general - Don't buy this headset if you have USB 3 on your motherboard as the fix logitech suggests doesn't always work - (moving the usb port as far away as you can from the USB 3 port didn't help me.)Don't buy this Headset if you have other wireless devices in the 2.4mhz range... My phones are in the 5 mhz range and are ok but is seems that my wireless modem might be the reason the wireless dongle just drops out so often. Also if you have a motherboard that uses Realtek audio then that MIGHT be part of the conflict as I have noticed a lot of people on the forums that are having problems are using realtek onboard audio... I'm going to try a sound card so I can get away from the onboard audio and see if that helps.While it's a great quality headset when it's working the problems are so annoying i wish i'd never brought it.

Before purchasing these from Amazon I did a lot of looking around and I tested a lot of headsets (mainly because I've never owned a really nice headset before) from stores and read a lot of reviews. I ended up coming to the conclusion of buying these firstly because I have always been a huge fan of Logitech's work. I own a Logitech wireless surround sound, a G15 keyboard, a G-Series mouse, and various other Logitech products, and not once have they done me wrong.The comfort factor of these head phones amazed me, they are nice and snug and really soft, they adjust very easily and they are a lot lighter than I expected.The construction thus far seems to be very sturdy, I have yet to have any issues in that department.The 7.1 surround sound feature on this headset is so much better than I expected, I can actually hear more sounds and noises in games and movies than I ever could on my actual 5.1 surround sound, and after playing with the advanced equalizer for a while I now have it dialed in perfectly.I haven't changed the G-buttons much yet because I like to listen to music while I game ad have control over it easier, and since I have the G15 keyboard which has 18 macro buttons on it I really don't need to fiddle with them much. Never-the-less they work perfect so far. The volume control roller is perfect located for easy quick volume changes.Now onto my absolute favorite feature of this headset...the Microphone. This thing is 100% perfect for what I use this headset for, gaming at night with my wife asleep in the the same room as my computer. Now before the G930 I avoided Skype and teamspeak and vent at night because I always woke my wife up because I had to talk so loud for people to hear me. During the day I have the Mic gain turned down to about 40-50% for normal talking while gaming, at night I can turn this bad boy up to 100% and I can practically whisper and everyone hears me perfectly. I was absolutely flabbergasted that I could talk so quiet and be heard without someone having to say "Sorry what was that? I couldn't hear you." And this is with a group of 5-10 people on Skype so there is always more than 1 person talking at a time.One last note would be that I don't have to switch over to my speakers when I don't want to wear the headset, I can simply lay these down on the desk in front of me while charging and turn the volume up, they get ridiculously loud.I would highly recommend this product to any avid gamer.

Summary, this headset is great. Great sound, great mic, comfortable right out of the box, surround sound still amazes me! Would definitely refer them to a friend, as they were referred to me by a friend.Pros:- Wireless. Great range, I can hear people clearly and they can hear me. Good range, I can hit the fridge (20ft) with no change in quality.- Battery. Charges in about 2 hours to get 8-10 hours use on 7.1 surround. Only had them for a couple of weeks, so can't comment on lifetime.- Sound is great. I started to play with the equalizer a bit, but decided to just leave it off.- They are medium weight, I would say. After a few hours of use, I do start to feel them a bit, but nothing an adjustment doesn't fix. No head squeezing our headaches that I have had with other headsets.- G keys - Nice feature, but I don't currently use them. May be good for listening to music, next and previous song, pause and play, etc.- Surround works great.- Build quality - very well built, they don't feel cheap like they will break.- Mic - Very crisp and clear, others noticed a big change for the better the day I got them.- Voice changer - Neat little ability built into the software, can be fun to play with.- Noise cancellation - not like the Bose set I have for air travel, but very good to the point that it could be a con! I had music playing on a fairly low volume and the wife had a whole conversation with herself when I first got them. When she realized I hadn't heard her, she tapped me on the shoulder and I hadn't even realized she was talking. We had a laugh about it...but I don't think she was thrilled!Cons:- Sound - depending on what you are looking for, it can take some troubleshooting to get everything just right. I stick with the default, so it wasn't really an issue for me.- Weight - This can be an issue after several hours of use, but as stated above, a little adjusting and it is comfortable again for a while.This was an upgrade from a $20 set of on ear Logitech headset and mic. The difference was huge. Highly recommend to anyone.Amazon had the item to me quickly, safely, and I was happy!

This is the best headset I've ever head. But considering I've only ever had worthless Turtle beaches..we can see why. I can say this is probably one of the best, little more "intense gamer" headset for a pretty low price. And also comes with a few more features other than just sound, like some competing products.PROS: Great sound, basically noise canceling. Amazing comfort. After a few uses the headset will mold to your head and fit perfectly Steel frame. So you know its not going to just break when you stretch it to put it on your head. Especially nice for people with big heads. The mic has great quality, and does a great job of picking up just your voice instead of other noises in the room. I'm not saying it's going to cancel out blasting music, but little things it will. Easy to change settings. Just install their software, and you can change anything from the volume of the mic, to the how you sound. I mean you can sound like a robot, zombie, a man with a deep voice, or a little girl. Really fun to play with and confuse friends.Not really sure if this is a pro or con, for being a wireless head set I'd look at it as a pro but, the head set will last about 2 and a half to 3 hours on battery. And takes about 2 hours to fully charge. The software you install will tell you how much longer till fully charged, and how much longer the battery will last. And if you're not paying attention it will beep at you. And not just a minute before it's about to die. It'll beep at you about 10-15 min before, so you have time to plug it in.CONS: The dongle to plug in your computer is a bit flimsy and poorly made. I've had to tape mine because its about to break. Not very convenient if you're using a laptop. The programmable G keys are not very programmable. I can open iTunes...and change a song, but that's about it. It's a little big when you have it on, and makes you look kind of funny.I love the product and have no regrets buying it. I strongly recommend it to people who are gaming because the surround sound is beautiful and the mic works fantastic. I use it for when I'm playing my MMO's to talk to people.

I bought this a few months ago, and I just now threw mine in the trash. When it worked, it was like a dream, which is the only reason I don't give it one star, but problems were many, and ever increasing, until they culminated in an unusable product. First, this did not work well out of the box, after installation of drivers from the enclosed CD, it worked somewhat, and had a nice control interface, where you could adjust aspects of your sound to your hearts content, and save profiles to switch between. The headset still didn't work well with many modern programs under Windows 7. Some research online yielded the recommendation that a new software package be downloaded and installed for this headset, which I managed to do after some work. Afterwards, it worked a bit better, but there was no longer the nice interface where you could adjust different settings, or at least I couldn't easily find it, and had lost interest in spending too much time digging into how to fine tune this headset.As many reviewers have stated, this headset would frequently just put itself on standby when I didn't want it to, most commonly when there was a lull in sound, but sometimes, and increasingly, just whenever it seemed to randomly feel like it. In the end, it had gotten to the point where it would just be a war between the headset and me pushing the button to get it out of standby a second later, at which point this headset went in the trash. I now use a comparatively much cheaper headset, and am much happier for it.The range of this headset is a bit disappointing. I couldn't do much more than leave my office, and it would cut out. Using this headset for a conference call was out of the question, if you ever wanted to visit the kitchen during it. Why is a house-wide range so hard for a $170 headset, when my far cheaper six-headset telephone and answering system works fine when I'm in the neighbor's yard?You can mute this headset in most cases by pushing a button, or flipping the microphone up, which is a nice enough feature, but it turns out that this is controlled by software that is not all that it could be. For some programs, and notably GoToMeeting, the program is allowed to hijack the headset's mute control, so that you cannot mute through the headset controls at all, though it shows itself as on mute with the little red led. I found myself making all sorts of noise, on mute I thought, while everyone on the meeting heard it, until they eventually complained.This product appears to be in alpha test status, and I'm very unhappy that Logitech has my $170, and I got an unfinished headache of a product for a few months, before I was forced to throw it away.

Ok so long story short, I bought this headset around two years ago. Typically when you see 2 years ago, you tend to hear "THIS STINKS!" or "IT BROKE". Now I will tell you a bit about this headset and my story.So yes, my headset did have an issue around year 1. However, I called up Logitech Support. And they offered to mail me a new one straight up not questions asked, I just have to mail my old one. They even offered me a discount code of 20% off their store for an apology! That is customer support, which frankly most companies have forgotten...The buttons on the side are amazing. Customization and a quick push to talk are cool. I use these headsets all day and they are my primary sound output. Most people think the 7.1 surround sound is a gimmick...No...it's not...The bass is so booming and crisp that when I play movies it feels like an Imax experience sometimes.Enough talking lets break down the numbers:Look and Feel 9/10-"fake" leather ear cups can be a hassle sometimes on a hot summer day, but are comfy enough that I am not constanly taking them off every 10 minutes. The cups fit over my ears to make a snug and comfortable fit as well. The slick gloss and matte finish mix is just drop dead gorgeous. Top that off with red accents make it a perfect fit.Sound Quality 10/10-There was an issue that Logitech addressed with some sound quality issues. In about 2 weeks after purchase, they corrected the issue and provided a proper patch. Since then, the sound has never been better. My voice is said to be "realistic" at times, and as mentioned the sound from the cans is crystal. They also include a side app to modify your voice into a troll, robot, etc. That always makes vent conversations fun =).Wireless 9/10-I went down three floors in my apartment and outside and still had intermittent signal. Enough said. This will reach anywhere reasonably near your computer dongle.Battery 9/10-YOU CAN CHARGE AND PLAY! Amazing feature, and issue of many other headsets. When I am in the middle of a dungeon or game I am not knocked off commission. Just wire them down and we are good to go. The cable is roughly 10-15 FT as well so if you have a issue getting to the box hopefully that eliminates it. Battery lasts for about 9-10 hours without a charge but I have experienced longer times when I don't have much sound or talking. Device also alerts you of low battery so you can prepare yourself. Battery is also replaceable, you can order new ones from Logitech.comCustomer Support 10/10- US based customer support, friendly reps. Understand my concerns and helped me. They are an amazing company and from now on I am a logitech freak. The fact they gave me a apology discount is even better!Overall 10/10Price is not an issue, yes it costs more but you get what you pay for. I bought these at FULL retail, and I would do it again. By far the best headsets I have ever have. Thanks logitech for such an amazing product. Buy these, you will not regret it.

The short version: Great sound quality, easy to use, decent range, ok battery life, mic works well enough, acceptably durable.------------------------Pros:Sound quality- I am picky when it comes to headphones. I often buy $100+ headphones and these didn't dissapoint. Great for gaming or watching movies with surround sound, almost as good for music (I listen to everything from classical to classic rock to hip-hop). Very good bass, solid mids and clear highs.Value- The wired headphone aspect of these is enough to justify the price, the wireless feature and the mic make it a good buyComfortable- I have worn these for hours at a time with no problem. Good weight, stay on well enough (starting to slide when I tilt my head but they have been heavily used for about a year)Customizable- there are volume controls and a mic mute button plus 3 customizable buttons (get some free logitech software to make customization easy)Durable- These things have taken a beating, with 30+ hours of use every week these things are holding up impressively well. They are finally starting to slip a little after about a year of use, but still function as well as ever.Volume- not the loudest headphones ever, but they do a good job of keeping external sound out (note: these are not "noise cancelling" headphones)Cons- battery life could be better. I typically get about 4-6 hours of use per charge. At least the charging cable is long enough to allow use as regular headphones/headsetMic sensitivity- pics up every noise. If I'm on skype I have to have my sound through the headphones and not my speakers. If I use this headset in the same room as my roommate everyone can hear him twice as if he were wearing both his headset and mine.Long range connectivity- the range is not as far as I would have liked, if you go farther than 15ft the sound begins to cut out and the headset will restart itself (unmuting itself in the process) and playing the mute/unmute notification noise over skype/ventrilo each time.Overall worth the money and a great headset.

First of all - Sound Quality. This IS the best sound quality for gaming next to Plantronics Commanders, Audio Technica ATH-AD700, and Sennheiser products. I owned the Logitech g35's and I believe the bass quality was better wired, and I have received numerous comments that the microphone was better on my old g35's.Second, CHEAP QUALITY. I had to buy this because my g35's broke. There's a piece where the screws are above the earpieces that broke THE EXACT same way on both sides after 1 year of use. Of course logitech claims it as "USER ERROR" even though it's an obvious flaw in their production. I bought a Square Trade warranty in case these break.Third, the price. The price/performance of Logitech headsets is GREAT. Audiotechnica AD700's are next in line ($100, but no mic, so get a nice mic +$20) Logitech does a great job of 7.1 surround sound which I absolutely love watching movies, listening music too as well as gaming. The sound quality is just amazing. There is a stereo to surround switch that never gets used, not sure why it's there, but it's a good way to show the difference of 2.1 to 7.1.The battery, most important of all. I see people bitching about it. I have owned this for almost 30 days now. I game for 7-8 hours it will last. Even when it runs low it gives you different beeps. The cord is long, so I just plug in and play. I have 1 problem though. there's a slight "Zezezeez" sound of static in the background when it's plugged in. That could be because of my USB station that I have extended from my PC, but it is powered and has a lot of amperage. Static sound is always there when charging, barely noticed unless you are browsing.Wireless capabilities: I went outside and walked out about 100ft. It has the same range as my wireless router. After a certain length they just cut out. The wireless is AMAZING with 2.4 ghz. I don't have any interference problems, or random static when wireless.So, overall I have this 3 stars. Cheap build quality like the Logitech g35's I owned, static when charging, loss of microphone quality compared to the wired brother (g35). Pro's: Amazing sound for the price, great wireless capabilities, comfortable.

I received these for the holidays and was immediately jazzed. I've used them on average for 6-8 hours each day since 12/25/2012 and could not be more pleased. The sound quality is excellent, I'm told I'm clean and crisp and clear on the other end over Skype, they're comfortable, and I can wander from my office to my kitchen and keep rockin' the tunes the entire time.PROS:* Incredibly comfortable for long periods of heavy use* Wonderful sound -- I play mostly games and the surround sound adds an incredible depth to my games.* Fits over my ears AND glasses, no problems* The Logitech software makes it easy* to use and the included voice morphing is really funCONS:* The included driver CD did *not* work with my Windows 7 Home 64-bit. I already own other Logitech gaming products and the software on the CD was older than my current install, but the current install didn't recognize the headset following the setup instructions. I had to download the latest version and update manually to get everything working.* The boom mike is nice, but does not stay up in the mute position. A little more tension on the pivot would solve this nicely.* BIGGEST PROBLEM HERE: Until yesterday the headset simply would not reconnect when I rebooted my computer. I had to remove the dongle, reinsert, turn the headset on and off a few times, rinse, lather, and repeat to get it working. Every day. I was getting close to returning it until I figured out the solution (see below).IF YOUR HEADSET STOPS CONNECTING AFTER YOU REBOOT, TRY THIS:Open the Logitech gaming software. It's probably already running, just click the icon on your system tray. The headset should show up in the list, and if so, that's great. Still no sound though, and the lights are all blinking, no connection, etc. To fix that, fire up an app that produces sound. Go to YouTube, fire up Winamp, whatever. Start some sound playing. THEN, and only then, turn on the headset. It'll connect right away and work just fine.If Logitech would simply *mention* this little quirk in their documentation, I'd give this 5 stars. Truly an awesome product once you figure out the little things.
