4.0 out of 5 stars
Solid, Good, Gaming to the Max!,
By
This review is from: Plantronics GameCom 777 Dolby Open Ear Gaming Headset (Accessory)
I've had this product for a little while now so thought I should write a review on my experiences. First thing first! if you are just about to order this item: please be aware it comes very tight! I put this on having opened it and thought my brain was going to explode, within 5 minutes I had decided I would send it back. But well; being close to the weekend I thought the least I could do was see how much it loosened up before I wrote my report and posted it back off. It took only two-days to completely reshape itself to fit my head, over the coming week it become simple perfection. I'm not entirely sure how it happens as it seemed very stiff and strong to start with but give this product a while to adjust to your head-size! even if you start off worrying about it.
Now, onto the item itself. I am first of all; an MMO and FPS player myself. This item is fantastic for shooters, never have I found it so easy to pin-point sound. If you play shooters most of the time this headset will increase your game-play by an unbelievable amount. The 5:1 surround sound picks up perfectly and reacts fantastically; in order to test I span on the spot and listened to the sound moving off in the distance - I could pin-point it every time. The headset itself is very sturdy coming with a stronger wire which is lovely to those of us who may toss it aside every now and again when that obvious hacker (read: far superior player) gets that head-shot one to many times. MMO wise, I have used this for vent communication multiple times, and although it is not the crispest most perfect sound it is more than good presenting a high sound quality. In head-set speaker ranges, I'd say this is very good for it's money, and close to the top yet not quite there. If your intention is to be making pod-casts and running radio shows you'll probably want to look elsewhere but for the gamer just wishing to run raids and be clearly understandable this is your prize. The set is also connectible both via USB and cables allowing for you to use it on it's own, or in connection to your speakers; having the choice is always appreciated. I would add a warning though, due to the inbuilt system I did find it messing with my sound settings a bit, and the first movie I tried to watch appeared to give it a bit of a hard time also. I'd advise making sure you check your settings having plugged it in just so you get the best quality the speakers can offer. Once set properly however, they give lovely sound with a nice amount of bass, get the balance right and it really does feel like a speaker system in your head - rather than the bad mix you may normally experience with other head-phones. In conclusion; this is money well spent for a gamer looking for a good all round item. However for those seeking either audio or mic perfection you'll probably wish to look for a single-focused item for each of a similar price. But so far: enjoying this, and not looking back.

Fantastic Headset,

Recently purchased the Plantronics GameCom 777 from direct from Amazon. I was looking for a Surround Sound headset for a couple of months as had originally only ever used stereo headsets and wanted to upgrade for multiplayer gaming. After looking at several different products, all around the same price, I decided on the GameCom 777. I am absolutely blown away by how good this headset is. They look the business and the microphone boom can tuck away into the headband when your not using it.
It was easy to setup, I have windows Vista, plugged in USB port on front of PC and the drivers installed themselves, went into Volume Controls, Playback Devices, and selected the USB audio Device. The sound quality listening to music is intense, the headset doesn't crackle even at high volume, although your ears may ring after a while! After playing a couple of online games, my online buddies noticed how much clearer my voice was with the microphone. The surround sound quality playing games such as Counter Strike: Source and Call of Duty is truly amazing, and although I am by no means a sound expert, the difference between normal headphones and these is astonishing. You can hear everything happening in the game world around you, pin pointing enemy footsteps before they even get close to you. The headset feels robust, hugs your head well, and the ear pieces are well cushioned allowing for hours of play without irritation. I don't know how Dolby have managed to squeeze such a quality surround sound card into such a small USB device, brilliant. Money well spent. 5/5

Crystal clear sounds and so robust,

This review is from: Plantronics GameCom 777 Dolby Open Ear Gaming Headset (Accessory)
I bought these headphones because of the look of them and the fact that they would take a lot of hammer. After using these for a few weeks they are still as strong as ever and trust me, with three children they certainly have taken a lot of hammering and yet they have stood up to everything thrown at them. Apart from that the sound quality is fantastic. I also own some razor baracuda headphones/soundcard and they dont sound any better then these so if your thinking of buying a set then these will delight your tastebuds. Trust me, Im a dedicated gamer and need surround sound quality and these are brilliant. Buy some. You wont regret it and thats a promise.
