I have been playing around for two days trying to get this to work with ventrillo, I can hear everyone else but I'm not "getting out." First you will need to assign a button to open the mic, I used button four on the mouse, then be sure to set input and output to G35 in the upper right corner. I finally found out that I had to set to speex in the lower left corner and set the format to 32hz 16 bit 10 qlty and the mic started working. Then the next issue was getting it to work while running under the game RIFT. When rift is up it apparently takes over all the mouse keys. Ventrillo has key bindings but I don't know what a lot of the settings are, or do, so I'll be researching a bit before I fiddle too much and break it again. I suspect a proper key bind would prevent RIFT from taking over the button I'm using to open the mic. Sounds pretty good, only the center channel is not easy to distinguish. Directional audio is quite good (if it's sneaking up on your rear right that is where you hear it breathing on you).
I've had lots of headsets, most made by Logitech, but this is the best audio yet. The 7.1 surround makes gaming a whole new thing. Peeps think I'm wallhaxing just b'cause I can hear them better, range and direction clearer. Great for tunes, too. The only reason it does not get a 5 star is the headphones do not extend out further. I have to wear them kinda balanced on the back of my head in order to have the cups completely fitted. Yes, that's right. I have an unusually large head ;-)no, srsly, I like to wear a ball cap while gaming.

Extremely happy with this headset. Huge upgrade from the Microsoft LX-3000 I was using. Surround sound works like a dream and the mic is crisp and clear with minimal background noise. Highly recommended for BF3.
Pros:Gaming, voip, movies

This is a great head set. Works fantastic in all gaming, music and VOIP uses. During gaming, sounds where made more acurrate as far as directionality and it also picked up sounds not availiable with many cheraper brand headsets gave me before.
Even the plug in cord is "Heavy Duty". Great easy to use software. Well worth the investment.
Pros:Gaming, voip, listening to music

I live in an apartment, so cranking up my Logitech Z-680 surround sound setup isn't really an option. This headset solved that problem with flying colors and sounds WAY better than I had hoped it would. It's completely digital so you will hear the slightest details in sound. It's not just a headset either, it's actually a sound device that is selectable in games which allow you to select your sound device (which is separate from selecting your speaker output). The surround sound experience is done quite well and will not disappoint!
The set itself feels VERY well built and is very comfortable to wear. The ear cushions fit completely over your ears and are comfortable to wear for hours of use at a time. The microphone boom pivots up out of the way when you don't want to use it and automatically mutes itself in the up position. I would recommend this product to a friend!

looks cool, almost same texture/quality as an alienware laptop. digital dolby surround sound, 7.1. what else can you get from a head set? its the real deal.
software allows you to change your voice and control the pitch. it also has its own equalizer for personal preference.
if your thinking of getting this, get it! its really worth it.

The sound quality is excellent. I was originally a bit skeptical about a head set being able to deliver surround sound, but I'm happy I took the chance. The microphone pickup is also incredible. You can whisper, and the mic will pick up what you're saying.
