First off I am not an Audiophil by any means so I don't quite understand tech numbers and true quality sound at its most basic form but what I do understand is a quality gaming experience.The games I most play on are: DotA2(competitive), Guild Wars2, Portal and some other games here and there. For the longest time I struggled with finding some decent headsets that wouldn't cost me a fortune(considering the amount of travel I do with them). I practice DotA2 while at work overnight on my laptop so I am constantly taking the headset in and out of the bag and what not. This headset is fantastic. My team is finally happy to hear me crystal clear and I am happy to hear them clearly. All the sounds sound pretty sick and the surround sound feature is pretty cool when playing FPS games. I recently found out that this is the official headset of dota, just with a different label on the top and I can see why Valve chose them. For the budget games, I HIGHLY recomend these and will continue to buy Plantronics in the future.

For years, I've fought my way through countless hoards of cyber-enhanced enemies in post-apocalyptic wastelands, laid waste to enemy castles and explored the vast reaches of interstellar space defending my ship from pirates and aliens whose names I could not pronounce. But never before was I able to hear the subtle nuances and all-important positional cues that could have saved hundreds of lives, including my own. Until now.As soon as I unboxed this headset and plugged it in, the walls of my room virtually melted away and my ears were treated to a sensational smorgasbord of surround sound! Crisp highs, clear midtones and rumbling lows that were heretofore impossible to perceive with the sad, wimpy headsets of gaming sessions gone by, seemed to come from all directions -- each according to its relative position in the world I was exploring. I must admit, my initial unfamiliarity with the Plantronics brand produced in me no small amount of skepticism as I read the reviews of other brave souls who had taken the plunge and plunked down the sixty dollars on this auditory marvel.I am by no means a stranger to the ways of the audiophile, having spent my youth around multi-track open-reel recorders, studio mixers and high-end monitors, with all the various and sundry noise-reduction, compressor/expander, multi-effects and other processing gear. Alas, I will admit hearing a few faint artifacts now and then, but this is a trivial matter by comparison and does not detract from the overall experience. If you, dear reader, are in the market for a superior headset at an extremely reasonable price, you would do well to stuff these into your electronic shopping cart forthwith!

UPDATE: 1-5-12After using this headset for a couple of days, I'm returning it for a refund. The price was great, but I couldn't stand the humming noise that would pop in every other minute for 5-10 seconds at a time. Some would say I'm sensitive to changes in sounds, and perhaps I am. I expect my headset to be silent when in use. Back to Fry's it goes!I'm sure everyone else has said what there is to be said about this headset. Sound quality is great, perhaps the best among all headsets I've tried in the past. I wasn't willing to pay full retail price for it, but couldn't resist when it dropped to $39.99 for the holidays. If there was one thing I'd change about this headset, it would be the way the wires are exposed on the side of the headset. I think it would've been better for Plantronics to shield these wires as they do with the 777's.One tip: Some people are experiencing noises/distortions every 5-10 seconds while listening to music tracks and whatnot. I've noticed this problem goes away when the software is installed or the headset is plugged into a USB 3.0 port. I was fortunate to discover upon replugging the headset into a USB 2.0 port that the problems went away.Hope that helps.

I picked this headset up on black friday for $50 and knew i would love it before i even got it. ive owned $150 turtle beach headsets that arent this good. the build quality blows every headset ive owned out of the water, i really dont feel like i need to worry about it breaking any time soon. its extremely comfortable too, when i first got it i didnt want to take it off because it was more comfortable than not having them on. the 7.1 isnt as good as i was expecting but there are definitely times in counter strike when its helped me clutch the round.pros:great build qualitygreat soundbetter than much more expensive headsetscomfortablelarge ear cupscontrols are on the left ear cup (opposed to on the cord like most headsets which can cause your headset to fall of the desk and break like my old ones.)the length of the cable is perfect. not so long that it will get caught on everything, and not so short that you are tethered to your computer.cons:only 2 speakers (simulated surround sound but its done really well)no bass control (its never felt lacking but sometimes you just want a lot of bass for music)this headset is perfect in my opinion, the cons arent even really cons but i felt like i needed to list something.

I'll break my review up into 3 parts.Microphone - 5 stars - works great, have had 0 issues. Don't have to talk loudly at all, just normal voice and it picks it up. The people I'm talking to never have to ask me to repeat what I'm saying.Sound - 3 Stars - Initially I would have given it a 4, but recently I've been getting some buzzing and static. Sometimes it lasts for 3 seconds, sometimes 30+ seconds. Very annoying. I guess I might expect this from a cheap pair of headphones, but not from this brand at this price.Comfort - 2 Stars - I have had worse, but again at this price I expected a lot more. Comfort is ok while I'm actually wearing them, but afterwards my ears are all red and will sometimes hurt (no I do not turn my volume up high, I usually have it on one of the lowest settings).I kinda wish I had bought a gaming headset at Best Buy for $100 becaue they looked super comfy, but they were out of my price range.

The square shape is starting to hurt the tops on my ears, since my ears are more oval shaped and not square. I don't think I have exceptionally large ears, but it makes me feel that way when I have to tuck them inside to make sure its comfortable.I like the red cord, because it doesn't blend it with other miscellaneous cords laying around. The volume wheel, mute switch, and dolby toggle button are nicely positioned on the left ear instead of having an inline box.The microphone is bendy and lets you position it how you want to, moving it in to a good position near your mouth doesn't seem of very much concern since the mic is so sensitive it will pick up everything in the room and probably the next room.The sound for games is good. For music or watching video not so good. The soundscape seems tailored for hearing footsteps and sound effects which are very clear. The bass and lower mid frequencies seem very dull which is, to me, very noticeable when listening to anything that isn't a game. You can toggle the dolby mode easily and it does sound great in games designed with dolby. If your listening to plain old stereo it gives everything a weird sound like it was recorded in an large bathroom. The software has settings for Game/Movie or Music, I can't tell a difference between the two.

Definitely not a 25-30 dollar headset - if you're planning on spending that much, avoid Plantronics altogethe - the company uses cheap materials and cheap designs. For a 20-30 dollar (including S&H) headset, I'd expect it to be sturdier and more, I don't know, robust. This feels like you might get it free with a refurbished laptop, or maybe a cheap headset from your local drug store photo department.Ok sound for the money, but very small ear cups, I ended up removing them altogether and customizing a larger pair from a dead headset to fit this one with some extra padding. The controls are incredibly low quality - small smooth volume wheel that really doesn't make much of a difference from high to low - and the mute toggle is rather small and isn't (very) easily switched - I ended up plastic-gluing a bead onto the mic switch so I could easily flip it with a finger rather than floundering around with it.

As a long time (just over a decade now) Plantronics headphones user, I was quite disappointed with these. My previous plantronics headphones (770 model) finally gave out, I thought I would be just fine getting these newer ones. If only I knew...These things have very poor wire shielding. If you talk loud enough or close enough to the mic, you can hear yourself in the headphones (and yes, this is with the option disabled in windows to hear yourself). Likewise, in voice communication software, if my mic was active and other people were talking, they would be able to hear themselves on my end (as if I had speakers feeding into the mic). I thought there was a small chance maybe something was wrong on my end, but after trying it on 4 different PC's (2 windows 7, 1 xp, and 1 ubuntu), I was able to confirm it was the headphones. Replacing them was easy enough since I had ordered direct from Plantronics. However, after the 3rd set that did the exact same things, I had to just go for a return instead.Even outside the poor wiring, you have to install the software if you want to control the volume controller decently on the headphones. I never use the surround setting they have, so the software seemed pretty pointless. Then you just have to worry about the software not screwing up and messing up the sounds. If I used the headphones without the software, everything sounds normal. Once I installed the software (on 3 windows machines) some sounds would be altered or choppy, such as the default Windows sounds (like changing folders).The 1 star is barely worth it, but I guess the headphones themselves are much sturdier than their predecessors.

I've had several headsets over the last 4 years, ranging in quality and price from 20-70 dollars usually, Some lasted 4-5months and some lasted 1-2months. I went to best buy and picked up the latest Razer Kraken Pro Headset and I had a ton of issues with it. It just wasn't the quality I wanted and the Mic wasn't working correctly on my desktop, even though my cheaper quality GAMESCON Mic worked just fine.So, I took the Razer Kraken Pro back and instead picked up the Gamescon and from the MOMENT I heard a song just after plugging in the new GamesCon780 headset, I could hear a dramatic difference. I was immediately pleased with the headset Versus the Kraken headset. N' of course, Gamescon didn't fail to let me down with an EXCELLENT Mic quality. Consider the Kraken's headset wouldn't even function correctly.The two best headsets I ever owned was a lesser version of Gamescon and now this one, by far worth the price and Gamescon will definitely be my choice for headsets from now on.

Comfort- Plush velvet earcups, wonderful on the ears but difficult to keep clean- Good size on the earcups. Should fit most (maybe not all) ears.- Snug fit- Adjustable, has about three extra notches. (pull the earcup down from the metal fixture)- Swivel earcups for taking breaks.Sound- Very nice surround sound. Definitely felt like I was in a room with all my Ordo buddies on TeamSpeak 3.- Some would say that it doesn't sound as good without the 7.1 surround, but I have no complaints for the headset without it. It's pretty decent.- Clean highs, mids, and lows all around. No interference or static.- Mic is good quality and also very clear.- Sound escape prevention could be better, but is not terrible. Much better than open speakers, for sure.Misc- Liked the USB. Good for not having to mess with any 3.5mm adapters with a Macbook- Easy-to-reach mic mute, sound adjust, and Dolby Digital toggle was a plus!- Dolby Digital 7.1 Surround software is for Windows alone. Wish there was a way to get it for Mac OS X as well!- Came with a quickstart manual. Never hurts.Overall? 4.9 out of 5. I am very pleased with this purchase and would recommend it to friends. The price is just a little high, but worth its money. Best to get it now (at the time of this review or other discount while it's cheaper!)Will hopefully check back in a few months' time with reports on durability. Cord seems pretty thick, resistant to tangles, and resistant to breaks. I hope they stay that way.

This was my first gaming headset. It lasted for 2 years before the audio connection when bad, I blame my Asus Transformer table for that. The Female audio jack SUCK on the table.Anyway the product is well build except the audio connection and mic connection. You will have to be careful when handling it. The sound is VERY loud. Sometime I use it as an external speaker because the output was much loader than my phone. I got alot of attention when i wore thses. I plan to replace the audio with a better one. Hopefully that works out.Pros:SoundBuild qualityThe fact that the mic can hideComfortableCard lenghtIt will cover your ear if you have a big head like mine. :)Cons:audio connection and mic connection they are fragile!!!!The cups are a lint magnet. Will require cleaning about once a month.To me it would have been cool if the red parts glowed or light up.BTW I paid $30 for this at Brandmartusa in the Sawgrass Mall. I wouldn't pay $80 for this old product, sorry!! Its an investment well spent though.I gave it 4 Stars because of the audio connection and mic connection and it dont glove :P.

This headset is absolute garbage. Seriously, do NOT waste your money; if I could give it less than one star I would. The sound quality is atrocious, the headband squeezes the ear-pads far too tightly against your ears, and they appear to be made of some kitche-y plastic that is not in the least bit durable (the earpiece snapped off the headband when I dropped it from about 4 feet off the ground. I mean, come on, really?). I thought that if I went with a fairly well-known brand like Plantronics it would be a fairly safe bet; however, I can honestly say I couldn't be more disappointed. This absolute piece of trash headset has single-handedly ensured I will never, and I repeat, never, purchase another Plantronics product. I seriously have no idea how this company is still in business if this is the quality of the products they produce. Trust me, go with something a little more expensive; at the very least you're more likely to wind up with a better quality product.

I've only had this headset for a day, but it is performing beautifully. The headset looks very nice and adjusts easily. It feels a little tight at first, but it loosens up over time. The out-of-the-box experience is great: just install the software on the CD, plug in the headset, and it works immediately.I watched Tangled on Blu-ray with 7.1 surround sound, and the sound quality is fantastic. It's amazing what Dolby Headphone technology can do. It really sounds like my own home theatre system in my ears. Battlefield 3 sounds equally as good.As to the microphone quality, I've used it with Skype and my friends said my voice came through clear. The noise cancellation did a decent job as well.The controls on the headset work as expected. There is a button on the front of the left earcup to toggle Dolby Headphone virtual surround sound, a switch on the back to mute the microphone, and a digital volume dial on the back that changes the Windows master volume in increments of two steps and beeps to indicate the volume change.This headset is a steal for the price. It's great not only for gaming, but for movies too. Highly recommended.

I bought this headset as a replacement to my very, very nice FX Pro 7.1 headset. As I am a graduate student I do not have a lot of "green" in the bank so I decided to give these a try based on the reviews I had read (on Amazon and also Newegg). I hope my review will give some insight into how the title of this review is appropriate.Firstly, let me say that for 22 bucks, these are a decent deal. I'll break it down into 2 sections: Build quality and sound quality.Build Quality:These things seem to be pretty damn solid. The plastic doesn't feel like it is likely to break in my opinion. The set is rather large, mostly due to its earcups however I didn't really see this as a "con". The headset is actually very light and doesn't weigh on your ears/head which is really nice; increases wearability over a long period of time. It's a decently attractive headset too but this is really not much of a concern. The cord is nice; long enough and the covering is durable.Sound Quality:I think it's necessary to start this with a caveat. If you are using your onboard audio there is a possibility that you will not be happy at all with the sound these things produce. This was my case with the onboard audio with my Asus matx board. The mids and highs were very clear, but the lows were almost nonexistent. This left me wanting so much more. However, I had an old Xfi xtreme music lying around and I installed it to see if it made any difference. This made a world of difference. The bass is still not at the level of my previous headset, but I can at least feel the lows now.Conclusion:This headset with a proper dedicated sound card, or very good onboard audio actually produces nice clear mids and highs with fairly rich lows. The virtual surround that my XFi produces is very nice and the direction the headset produces is pretty damned good for a stereo headset.Is it worth the buy?if(you don't have a sound card && price == 20 bucks) yes;if(you do have a sound card) definitely yes;

The device itself is of high quality for sure, no doubt about that.Ear pads are comfy, metal brackets holding the ear cups are really sturdy, cord is sturdy aswell...Surround quality is near perfect, sense of direction is amazing. Moreover, anything I've played, and I play A LOT of games, this headset delivers great surround performance on them.If you're planning on listening to music or any stereo source though, I have to admit that these are not anywhere near audophile-grade. Though they aren't meant for that, so it's not a con for me.Only thing bothers me is the over-simplified software. There is this only option to turn dolby on or off. At least an equaliser would be available. Their software support is also not something I'dcall good. It's been months since Win8 rolled out and there isn't any compatible drivers with it. Of course you can still use the headphones on Windows 8 and Windows 8 recognises it as Gamecom 780but you can't use the dolby features.Overall, great product. One of the best surround headphones around. At this price nowadays, it's a no-brainer.

Had to replace my 8 year old Genius gaming headset, and it was an improvement in every aspect, just as expected from a brand like this, Think it lives up to the Plantronics brand (only used business products from them before):.- quality is very good: feels sturdy, hard plastic, good cushion, cable feels strong..-sound is also very good: i mean for this price, you cannot ask more. Of course it's not the same as some Bose or Sennheiser, but you get what you pay for. The Dolby driver you install is not so good... i can play with or withoout it with almost no difference. For music, you have to turn it off since will take out a lot of details and highs from the music..-very confortable: its heavy but not so much, you can use it for long gaming sessionsCons:.-cushions are kind of velvet, so they pick a lot of lint and dust..-Sometimes sound disconnect, like as in a driver problem, had to unplug, plug again, several times, even after rebooting. But only happened once. never happened again.

I've had a lot of headsets to use with gaming, but these are by far the best I've ever used.First, the stereo sound quality coming out of the ears is absolutely amazing. It's a rich, full sound that has a good base to it as well. I didn't think a headset designed for gaming could sound so good. It also works really well with movies and music.Secondly, the ears are very comfortable. You can literally wear them for hours without discomfort.I also really appreciate the controls on the headset itself. You can adjust the volume up/down, and mute the mic, and there's another button I'm not sure what it does yet.Also, and this is a little thing, but the software was a breeze to install and gives you easy action to your sound profiles and settings. So when I want to game I double click and set my profile, or I go back to my desktop speaker settings for movies or music.

I wear these headphones quite a bit. I'm an avid video gamer on PC. (BF3 and MOHW) The sound quality is fantastic. And they never become uncomfortable on my ears or head. I tried several different brands and models of headphones trying to find some that wouldn't kill my ears after a few minutes. I went through a lot of headphones before I came across these. I read many, many reviews before I decide to try this model. They aren't cheap so I knew I had to make sure before I bought them.As soon as I put them on, I knew I had made the right choice. The fit is awesome...not too tight and not too loose. The sounds in game are perfect. I can hear everything perfectly. And my hearing isn't what it used to be. The only flaw is that the controls aren't very well labeled so I had to go online to find a product brochure to figure them out. That's the only problem, though.I wear these headphones for hours at a time and I've never found them uncomfortable. I play games, watch movies and listen to music with them. The fit and sound quality are unparalleled. I would recommend them to everyone.

My goodness. This thing is the bane of my existence now...I don't hear the door, I don't hear my roommate, it's great. The sound quality is pretty wonderful, especially considering the price. It looks great, though these pictures are fairly misleading (Google it, you'll see, it's not graphite it's really black and red). From what I've seen the last few months I've owned it, it's the bees knees.Be SURE to install the drivers and follow the initial set up instructions. Also be sure to turn on the Dolby surround sound, it makes a whole world of difference. I always run it in the 7.2 mode, which is just a teeny bit better than the 5.1, which is MILES better than standard mode.TL;DR: I love this headset. I prefer it to my fairly nice speakers, it's pretty comfortable (I game for about 4 hours a day, 6-8 on weekends) and I have never wanted my money back. It doesn't leak sound to my mic at all, and the mic sounds pretty great. Sometimes I wish the cord were about a foot longer, but it's plenty long as is, my setup just likes a bit more cable.

I normally use the Logitech G35 surround sound headset and have to say I feel like it's a tossup between the two.The speaker hardware between the two is basically identical. The Plantronics mic is a little more sensitive (not necessarily a good thing). The construction of the Plantronics appears to be a good deal more durable -- my Logitech G35s broke twice in 2 years due to a thin plastic connection that holds the earphones against your head (basically the same part that on these headphones is metal).The one thing that kind of bothers me with the Plantronics is that I would swear the positional sounds are better with Dobly surround sound turned OFF. When I turn on the Dolby, the sound quality becomes far richer, but I feel like I lose the positional audio -- I can't tell if that charging horse is coming from back-left or front-left.But it does work. Maybe I just have to get used to the directional audio on these compared to the G35, which I thought was dead on. Both headsets have proved comfortable for long term gaming (and my ears are big enough that not all headsets have been comfortable...I had a Turtle Beech 5.1 surround sound headset some years ago that were very hard on the ears).So I rate these as 4 stars -- same rating I gave to the G35. Really, if I could get the software and the sound production of the G35 combined with the rugged construction of the GameCon 780, I think I'd have the perfect 5-star headset. When it comes down to a choice between the two, I think the G35 is superior...BUT you'll pay more for them and, as I stated, they are not well made and you'll find plenty of complaints about the breaking if you look at the reviews for it.Bottom line: this is a very good headset and definitely a contender. Tossup as to whether these are better than the Logitech G35s, all things considered.(One footnote: if you have another set of USB headphones, you might need to unplug them. Although Windows recognizes both headsets when I have them both plugged in, I wasn't getting any sound out of these until I unplugged my G35s, even after going into Windows settings and telling Windows to use these. Your mileage may vary.)

I bought this because my headphone jack is faulty on my laptop, so I'm only using the product solely for listening to multimedia.The headphones are comfortable to be worn hours at a time and the cord doesn't tangle at all.In the first couple of weeks I had the product, I noticed that there was a random audio pop occurring in the right ear cup but I haven't noticed this happening lately, either it's there and I'm just oblivious to it or the problem resolved itself somehow. The cups and the headband(?) are very prone to lint/fur so invest in a lint roller.Since I'm only using the headphones for just viewing videos and listening to music, I don't have any use for the microphone which is okay because luckily the microphone stays upright in place without the little strip of tape used to hold it close to the headphones. Even if I put it down, the microphone doesn't invade my facespace and I sometimes forget that it's there.I can't comment how well this product would work for gaming but I'm sure that it performs well for the price.

I have been PC gaming since the comadore 64 and I never looked into upgrading the sound quality of my games... until now. OMG Wow was exactly what I thought when I put these on and setup the sound test... I immediately took them off as it sounded like the pings originated in the room perhaps from my main pc speakers... I asked the wifey did u hear that she looked at me like i was crazy (normal). Sure enough I determined it was because this headset is insane... I went back and listened to some of my old music and it was clear and crisper than Iv'e ever heard before... I logged into my current addiction "DayZ" and omgosh the sound is sooo different from what i was use to that I litteraly felt like I was playing a different game... I can only imagine that all my other games will now WOW ME in the same way... I am anticipating going back to play those games with this headset. I know nothing of higher end headsets but if you have never tried any REAL headsets like these I promise as the other reviews indicate "Get these and you won't be sorry".

I'm on a budget and i a history of accidentally destroying headsets ( usually by rolling over the cord and straining the USB connector to the point of breaking/ripping the wires out ) so i was not prepared to pay over 100 dollars for a good headset. I saw this one when it was on sale and figured why not.I'm new to digital surround through headphones so i wasn't sure what to expect. The sound quality of this headset is amazing when compared to my previous set up ( standard stereo headset ). The max volume is great, the surround sounds great while gaming. For music this headset really sets my playlist on fire! I can now hear music the way it's meant to be heard, hearing every single note of every single instrument, It's pretty awesome actually. It's built strong, it's comfortable , it's affordable and it pushes out quality sound. I really can't complain at all.

A am a bit of an audiophile and thus can be pretty picky about my sound quality. These sound great. They produce a nice deep and rich sound without going overboard on the bass. Many headphones over do the bass and produce a flat and almost murky sound. These have a decent balance.The build quality is very nice too. Very sturdy. I also like the feature on the volume button. Every time you press it there is a high pitched beep which gets louder as the volume goes up, or a low pitched beep which gets softer as the volume goes down. Very clever. (Note the beeps are only while pressing the volume button up/down. You can't hear them during normal use.)Overall bang for the buck these are sweet. I like them WAY more than the turtle beach headphones I had before and these were half the cost.
