I brought this for battlefield 3 as my speakers were to load, and wow wow wow this sound amazing make sure you have the usb dolby on when playing as you can hear where abouts the enermy are behind you, tank shells zooming past you sound so good that you even duck for cover because it sounds so real. The mic is also very clear.

Windows 7 64-bit:
There were problums before but microsoft fixed them as i use 64-bit version and everything is fine.

The Setup:
Just plug in and there you go done, but to get the real good sound go to your sound set up in control panel and change playback to usb headset and recording to usb headset and put volume on max as the headset as a volume control on it, this saves you time changeing it in windows all the time.

The Headset:
When you have this in your hands you can tell its a solid and well build product, great headset. The micphone hides away as well which is great to.

The Feel:
Now i have a big head because im a big guy and yet the headset feels and fits like a glove, really comftoble feel.

Music:
OMG! i mean it sounds great in 7.1 and the base is unreal there realy basey.

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.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 February 2011

I wanted to be sitting in my seat with my mouth dropped in awe at the amazing sound, if only..

I did a lot of research before buying these and decided to go for them based on the reviews..

For the price and the fact it comes with the dolby 5.1 surround attachment i thought these would be great for gaming. However, the 5.1 attachment when switched on just seems to make the sound ..different..not sure how to describe it, it is certainly not surround sound, i can't tell where enemies are coming from on games such as BF:BC2, Bioshock 2, Farcry 2 etc.

I also found one of the speakers was crackling and had to send it back for a replacement, which to be fair was pretty damn good service, this however isn't part of the review/rating as its specific for my purchase.

The sound is good enough, average/good, nothing more, i don't feel blown away or totally immersed when i'm wearing them, which is very disappointing.

The comfort of the headphones can be called into question too, i read about this in reviews and figured they were being picky but the tops of your ears do start to hurt after about an hour.

To conclude i do like them as a pair of headphones, i think they look great, but the whole 5.1 is just a massive gimmick, my dads £15-20 microsoft headphones had better directional sound when gaming. Others who have reviewed have disagreed though, so perhaps it is personal taste with the 5.1, just thought id throw my two pennies in.

1.0 out of 5 stars The worst pair of headphones I've purchased.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 July 2012
Verified Purchase
I bought 2 pairs of these and *both* pairs have cracked in the same spot (above the left ear).

One pair was for me, one pair was for my wife. We don't share headphones, so these are separate headsizes/shapes/use patterns resulting in the same break. I've been wearing the 'duct taped' version since perhaps 2 months after I bought them.

They still function after 3 years, but there are some other minor issues (sound volume fluctuates, it feels like a wire is loose as I can 'fix' it by pushing the wire in).

Also, the microphone holder broke and now the microphone flops around if I pull it out or touch it. It is very flimsy.

Skip this pair of headphones, they will not last.

Als ich mir das "Plantronics GameCom 777 Gaming-Headset" bestellte, erwartete ich ein gut sitzendes Gerät mit tollem Klang und schneller Funktionalität!
Ich wurde nicht enttäuscht.

Daher nun kurz nach ca. einmonatiger Nutzphase eine kleine Rezension:

Klang:
- Guter Pseudo-Surround-Sound. Mehr kann man nicht erwarten
- Da die Ohren komlett umschlossen sind (trotz recht großen Ohren) ist der Sound umso besser
- Kein Rauschen oder ähnliches
- Bass könnte etwas mehr hergeben, aber das ist Geschmackssache
- Noch nicht auf Spieletauglichkeit geprüft, aber Lieder hören sich auf jeden Fall toll an

Verarbeitung und Funktionalität:
- Weiche Polster für Ohren und Kopf, sehr angenehm zu tragen
- Langes Kabel (2m), sollte für jeden reichen
- Bei der Stabilität bin ich mir unsicher, ob es eine richtige Langzeitauglichkeit hat (ich gebe ihm 2 Jahre)
-> Muss dazu erwähnen, es ist mir bereits runtergefallen und es hat keinen Kratzer, aber viel Plastik und die dünne Bügelverlängerung lassen es auf jeden Fall optisch zerbrechlich wirken (ist aber nur subjektiv!!!)
- Das Lautstärkerädchen ist etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig und leider fehlen Rädchen für Bass und Höhen
- Das Mikrofon kann allerdings ausgeschaltet werden
-> Der gesamte Regler-Kasten wirkt etwas klobig, aber auch das ist subjektiv
- Ich benutze den USB-Anschluss und nicht die Klinkenstecker: funktioniert einwandfrei
- Das Mirkofon ist ausschwenkbar und kann auch ein kleines (wirklich nicht viel) Stück herausgezogen werden, was für meinen Geschmack ruhig noch ein bisschen länger hätte werden können
- Das Mikro ist starr, schade
- Der Klang des Mikros ist super, man wird perfekt verstanden

Fazit:
Der Klang ist fast perfekt, die Verarbeitung absolut in Ordnung und der Tragekomfort ist definitiv hoch. Alles in allem gibt es zwar hier und da ein paar Schönheitsmängel, aber ich habe das Gerät für Musik und Spiele gekauft und da hält es was es verspricht. Wenn es jetzt noch richtig lange hält bin ich absolut begeistert. Da ich dass aber durch gute Pflege selbst in der Hand habe vergebe ich alle 5 von 5 Sternen.

Empfohlen.

----
Nachtrag:
Auch nach zwei Jahren intensiver Nutzung zeigen sich keinerlei Gebrauchsspuren, auch nicht an den Polstern. Mir sind die Kopfhörer im Laufe der Zeit mehmals vom Tisch gefallen (1m Höhe) und sie haben es unbeschadet überstanden. Sprach- und Hörqualität sind ebenfalls unverändert gut.

Points très positif : Aucune sensation de "serre-tête" même après 1 ou 2 heures d'utilisation non stop; les écouteurs isolent bien l'oreille et sont très confortables.

De plus le son est excellent pour l'utilisation de jeux ou de films, seul l'aspect un peu cheap peut faire peur au déballage mais est démenti à force d'utilisation.
Meilleur casque que j'ai pu essayé (après avoir acheté 2 Logitech et 1 Steelseries )

4.0 out of 5 stars Sehr gutes, aber nicht perfektes Headset
Reviewed in Germany on 20 December 2010

Ich besitze das GameCom 777 inzwischen seit über einem Jahr und bin immer noch recht zufrieden damit. Der Tragekomfort ist echt hervorragend. Beim ersten Aufsetzen des Headsets mit gepolstertem Kopfbügel und Ohrkissen war ich schon sehr begeistert, weil es sich schon mal ganz gut anfühlte. Und auch viele Monate später ist es immer noch sehr angenehm zu tragen, auch bei vielen Stunden am Stück. Bei einigen Headsets kommt es vor, dass es bei Brillenträgern etwas störend ist und drückt, doch beim GameCom 777 konnte ich bis jetzt nicht weiter klagen. Nur sehr selten kam es vor, dass ich es einfach mal absetzen musste. Einzig störend ist, dass der verstellbare Kopfbügel nach einem Jahr Nutzung nicht mehr 100%ig, sodass es sich schon relativ leicht ungewollt auseinander zieht.

Soundtechnisch ist es auch klasse, jedoch war ich bei der 5.1-Funktionalität lange skeptisch. Der kleine USB-Adapter, der die Aufgabe als Soundkarte übernimmt und einen Surroundsound emulieren soll, lässt schon etwas zu wünschen übrig. Eine Treibersoftware gibt es nicht, dafür wird alles ohne Installation automatisch vom PC erkannt. So ganz überzeugen konnte mich der 5.1-Sound letzten endes nicht, aber bei einem Headset darf man das ggf. auch nicht unbedingt erwarten. Schließlich habe ich die mitglieferte USB-Soundkarte durch meine alte X-Fi Xtreme Music ausgetauscht und genieße seitdem etwas schöneren Sound. Dann ist nicht nur der Klang besser, sondern auch Lautstärkemäßig wird um einiges mehre hergegeben. Und virtuellen Surroudsound kann man auch damit erzeugen lassen.

Wirklich enttäuscht bin ich jedoch vom Mikrofon. Zwar ist es praktisch, da es prima im Bügel "versteckt" werden kann und sich auch am Lautstärkeregler, welches sich am Kabel befindet, ausschalten lassen, doch ist die Qualität nicht so berauschend. Zwar soll es eine Rauschunterdrückung haben, doch die meisten meiner Gesprächspartner berichteten, dass es sich so anhört, als würde im Hintergrund ein Flugzeug starten. Wenn ich dann noch auf die tolle Idee komme, kurz zu muten und dann wieder das Mic einzustellen, laufen die Leute dann meist davon, weil's noch schlimmer geworden ist. Zwar ist mein PC nicht flüsterleise, aber so laut, dass es sich so schlimm anhört, ist es definitiv nicht - denn bei vorherigen Headsetes war das auch nicht der Fall. Nach dem Wechsel auf die X-Fi habe ich das jetzt nicht wieder getestet, evtl. ist es damit sogar behoben. Vielleicht habe ich auch einfach nur ein schlechtes Modell erwischt.

Doch abgesehen davon kann ich das Headset immer noch weiter empfehlen. Die Qualität ist recht gut, der Sound stimmt mit einer richtigen Soundkarte auch und der Preis ist auch in Ordnung. Nur: Wenn das GameCom 377 wirklich baugleich ist und nur die USB-Soundkarte fehlt, dann würde ich doch eher das empfehlen (vor allem, wenn eine X-Fi o. ä. vorhanden ist)

4.0 out of 5 stars Trés bon casque
Reviewed in France on 1 December 2009

Confort d'utilisation. +
Le casque est ajustable bien que la position initiale soit suffisante.
Après plusieurs heures d'utilisation, le casque peut occasionner des douleurs au niveau vos branches de lunettes. Point que l'on peut difficilement reprocher a un casque qui englobe toute l'oreille.
Malgré la texture du casque, après une longue utilisation, je n'ai pas l'impression de sortir d'un sauna pour oreilles.

Anti-bruit. -
Dire qu'un casque qui enveloppe l'oreille est anti-bruit est un bien grand mot. Disons qu'il atténue légérement le bruit. Si vous montez le son au risque de devenir sourd, après il est peut être anti-bruit.

Qualité sonore. ++
Alors la, j'ai été agréablement surpris ! La première impression qui m'a traverse l'esprit c'est d'être au cinéma, vous savez quand vous avez l'impression d'être dans le film. J'ai essentiellement testé le casque sur le jeu dragon age et j'ai découvert pas mal de bruitages / ambiance que j'avais zappé avec les enceintes de l'écran.
Autre plus, c'est la molette de réglage du son. ca change la vie, si si vraiment. Pour les utilisateurs du jeu sus nommé, vous avez remarqué que certains npc parlent très bas et pouvoir augmenter le son rapidement puis le rebaisser aussitôt est très très appréciable. La molette est plus pratique avec la main gauche (d'un autre cote vous êtes censé utiliser la souris avec la droite). Ceci pour dire que si j'utilise la molette avec la main droite, j'ai l'impression que la molette est montée a l'envers.

Micro. ?
Avis neutre car pour le moment, j'utilise peu TS et je n'ai pas pu me faire un idée réelle.

Branchement. ++
Sous Vista, installation rapide, vous branchez et ca marche. Pour le micro, allez juste dans Panneau de config, Son , Mettre Ampli au max.

Dernier point que j'espère ne jamais tester, c'est la résistance aux dents de mon chien (point pour lequel j'ai du racheter un casque =)

Un casque de bonne qualité sonore. Le petit "module" externe de traitement du son permet de profiter d'un très bon son quelque soit la carte son que l'on possède.
Le casque est confortable, isole bien du bruit extérieur. L'on peut régler le volume, couper le micro directement depuis le casque.
Le micro est confortable, précis et capte le moindre bruit. Les gens nous entendent bien. De plus il est rétractable.
Le seul petit inconvénient est qu'il tient un peu chaud en été, mais le confort a un prix :)
