Can Be Great If Configured Correctly
These are good headphones but they aren't the best and they're complicated to set up.
Pros
- 7.1 support from multiple drivers, stuff really does sound like it's behind you.
- VERY comfortable to wear
- Looks nice and supports Razer chroma.
- Has pass-through for speakers, which can be triggered from the control panel
- Build quality is excellent, cables are braided and tough.
Cons
- Analogue connections require a full set of outputs from your device
- The 2.1 mode is dire, completely unacceptable quality
- Cable between headphones and controller is too short and hard wired (this could be improved by making it detachable and offering extension cable accessories)
- using the speaker pass-through requires you to change the audio settings if you only have stereo speakers.
- There is a distinct lack of bass, compared with other headphones. I needed to play with the equaliser quite a bit to fix it.
In summary, not really worth the money in my opinion. I'm keeping mine as I got a really good deal and for gaming they're great for hearing where people are etc. If you want these for music or movies then you'll be disappointed.
