There's something really nice about being surprised by a product. When you see as many new bits of kit as we do, it's rather easy to get blasé about things; but this headset from Plantronics is really unique, and quite literally new in the gaming headset space.

On the front of the mixer you have all of your controls. The dial handles all of this. The left side controls how much mobile audio you're getting whilst the right side controls the game chat. Your game sound is controlled on an outer right.

In today's world, you can use headsets for your gaming consoles to enjoy the brutal sounds of Borderlands 2 , whilst chatting away to your friends in a party from the comfort of your lounge and you can be on a bus, enjoying the sights of the city whilst speaking to your friend via a bluetooth ear...

By far the best part of this package is the actual rig itself. I found it to be extremely useful to be able to quickly switch between gaming/movies to quickly picking up a call without needing to pull of my headset every time.

Easy setup (PC) - Simple to use - Comfortable headset

- Poor headset quality - No support for non-inline microphones

sound quality is very good, headset is comfy. ear pads are cloth instead of leather which keeps your ears cool and u can use it on PC and MAC, and your mobile phone plus got a great price am very happy

About a year after I bought them, they still sound great and are holding up pretty well, except they've become quite creaky. I don't know if that's because I'm carrying them in a messenger bag every day to work, but it has started to become a bit unpleasant. I still recommend them though!

The sound and mic quality on this headset can't be beat. My only issue is that the cable you plug it in with is very flimsy. I worry that one wrong move and it will break right in half.

I went to Best Buy and tried on different sets. For the price these out performed some of the more expensive ones. I had a competitors brand and where very uncomfortable, these I feel are comfortable and good clean sounding headphone. Work great on my Xbox. Highly recommended them.

Bought this for my son, plugged in and set to go and he's as very impressed with the sound quality compared to other headsets he's had
