    Fun:   
    After spending numerous hours researching on what could possibly be the best headset out there I ended up here.
    To be honest when I first saw them i couldn't get them out of my mind.
    It's one of those things that haunt you all day and keep thinking about them.

    Ok let's cut to the chase.

    The package came with all the goodies included, nice and illustrated manuals on how to connect them to PC\ Xbox accompanied by all the cables that you would need.
    Along with the normal RCA (white and red audio cable)and microphone connector you get an optical cable as well which is what you need for the ultimate sound experience as with the RCA you cannot get real 5.1 unless you simulate it but still it won't be true surround.
    The headphones themselves are very sturdy. They feel solid and they come with comfortable ear cups that let you enjoy your gaming experience and as well hear your wife \girlfriend \house mate \mother shouting to you to get off your game

    I must admit that in the first couple of days I was disappointed as I couldn't get the optical to work so i had to use them with the RSA cable which it was good but still not satisfying for me. I HAD to make it work.
    After realizing the wrong of my ways I managed to fix it and what can I say, these headphones are absolutely stunning!
    The surround experience is brilliant you can clearly distinct between the different directions and there's a good amount of bass too!
    So far I have tried them with Battlefield 3 and let me tell you that they put a smile on my face even when my K\D ratio is negative.

    To sum up, you can connect and operate these to PC, Xbox as well as television, Hi-Fi system and basically anything that has RCA connectivity.
    As a PC gamer I have invested a great amount of money for my system as well as its sound, this new peripheral is a gem which not only sounds awesome but looks good when is resting on its dock.

    Downside? None really, they come with a pair of rechargeable batteries which they take around 3 hours to fully charge from empty and about 8 hours to run down if you are listening in about 50% -60% volume. I have a recharging dock for spare batteries so if I run down I can easily change them and carry on gaming. However I don't think it can count as a downside since 7-8 hours of gaming is quite enough for most people. If you don't have a recharging dock for spare batteries I suppose you can put the headphones on the dock and go have a shower or have something to eat. By the time you are done there will be enough juice to get you going.

    A truly amazing headset! Recommended with no hold backs.

    This was a replacement for the original faulty headset, microphone buzzed constantly. Replacement arrived quickly and so far is OK. Excellent sound quality and good fit. It looks pretty cool, and I no longer fall over my headset as I sit it on the recharge tower.The batteries charge quickly and last well. A must for any gamer, brilliant with XBox 360 and excellent with pc gaming.

    Fun:   
    I bought this headset as a replacement for my aging Creative Sound Blaster Arena Surround headset as its mic stopped working.

    I read many reviews from which it appeared that this would work with my PC, but after many attempts it did not work.

    I contacted Razer support to see if they could assist me. After a few emails back and forth I was told that if I bought a RCA to 3.5mm cable and used it to connect the headset to my PC the headset would work. After several attempts and numerous emails to Razer support, with the new cable it still did not work.

    Finally I was told that it would not work with a PC as a headset, only as headphones.

    Do not waste your time with this if you have a PC and want to use it as a headset
