Plantronics GameCom 780 review
Plantronics GameCom 780 review – Plantronics making a gaming headset? Some hardcore gamers may go "Pfft!" hearing or imagining this thought. Though my reaction wasn't that extreme, I did wonder whether they were good enough to be able to make a gaming headset.

Plantronics GameCom 780 Gaming Headset Review
Any serious gamer knows that a good headset is essential to the ultimate gaming experience. Plantronics has made a name for themselves in the PC gaming headset market over the years. Their last offering, the GameCom 777 was an awesome USB surround headset that combined comfort and performance.

Plantronics GameCom 780
I think that the GameCom 780 is a huge step in the right direction for Plantronics. Extended-wear comfort is excellent and the placement of all buttons on the headset itself is a very welcome change, as is the greatly improved surround compatibility profile over the older 777 headset.
Pros:
- Comfortable and lightweight
- Decent stereo quality
- On-ear headset controls
- Dolby Headphone and Pro Logic support
- Excellent directional sound
- Decent game compatibility
- Configurable speaker layout
Cons:
- Noisy microphone
- Short headphone cord
- No equalizer settings
- Stereo-only support for OpenAL games

Plantronics has a long proud history that started with a couple of airline pilots coming up with a lightweight headset for the airlines. Shortly after, they were contracted to build headsets for NASA as well.
Pros:
- The Plantronics GameCom 780 is comfortable to wear for extended gaming sessions
Cons:
- The ear cups are bigger than necessary

Plantronics Gamecom 780 review
Plantronics has carved a niche with a range of chunky but comfortable and effective gaming headsets. The Gamecom 780 is the latest addition to the range and an apparent upgrade and replacement to the award-winning Plantronics Gamecom 777 .

Do not buy
The microphone is a mixed bag on this one. Its extremely clear and sounds great, however it picks up every single noise in the room. When I say everything, I mean EVERYTHING. I can hear my PC fans (which are NOT loud at ALL) as well as keyboard clacking, mouse clicks, everything.
Pros:
- Great headset, sounds are crisp and clear and 7.1 is awesome
- Well built, decent quality for the price
Cons:
- These have the same freq
- response and LESS bass than my creative fatality headset that is >5 years old
