For flat and accurate sound it's up with the best. It's not the most ideal for bassy music but it will hit all the notes. The Xonar is good, these are only 32 ohm and can be powered by most sources.

This is an odd question. This is overall and extremely solid headset. I suppose if I had to pick one thing it would be the fact that the padding in the cups isn't a mesh material, so it doesn't breathe very well. But seriously, you won't find a better PC gaming headset for the price.

The physical headset itself uses 2 speakers like a regular stereo headset. However, installing the included driver/software sets up a virtual surround-sound device on your PC. So when the device is connected, both games and the Windows sound system see it as a 7.1 audio device. The headphones are a pretty good build quality, so I'd recommend them anyway, and the surround sound is fairly nice. It's at least on par with most other "virtual surround" hardware/software I've used. My recommendation is to go on youtube and play any some of the virtual surround clips while wearing whatever headphones you already have. If the surround effect impresses you, then you'll like the Vengence Headset. If it leaves you wanting, then you are likely to be disappointed in most surround sound headphones. Even legit surround headphones with multiple speakers in each earpiece do are not as good as a traditional multi-speaker room setup. Alternatively, if you like the virtual surround and already have a quality set of headphones, you can purchase the "Razer Surround" application which turns regular headphones into a virtual surround pair. You can check it out and get a demo here: https://www.razerzone.com/surround#product_overview

Ive used both so hopfully this will help other users too, if you only game on PC then the Kraken is nice but Ive has a similar issue with Razer as ive had with TurtleBeach. Ear cups go bad randomly. The RIG is great if you want style with the ability to go anywhere with it, be it console, pc or mobile. Also you don't need a boom mic as the inline mic cable for cellphones detects and transmits audio insanely well. Id say RIG personally, plus user replaceable parts are plus for any gamer so you can always have spares!

They're pretty good! I bought mine a couple of months ago and they sound great. the 7.1 surround sound is a little overkill but they make for a fantastic 5.1 surround sound headset, just make sure your computer has enough audio jacks at the back for all the wires!

Unfortunately, I haven't experienced the 170. But I have owned similarly priced Sony and I can say the 180 is far superior - zero noise, nada. It has the cleanest sound I have heard. I do have a friend with the 170 and I believe it has a surround sound mode but I'm not sure so you may want to check that out. I also am able to add a second headset for the same transmitter on the 180 (perhaps up to four total - I think?), not sure if you can do that with the 170 but worth checking out if it is an issue. The 180 is "open" so you can hear other sounds going on which in my case allows me to hear when my wife is talking to me - haven't decided if that is a positive. Be well.

Sound quality is quiet good, especially for a headset. You can get stand alone microphones with better quality but for a headset the microphone is quiet good. I don't get any background noise, NO scratching or hum. I use it quiet often for gaming and Skype calls, works perfectly. The "G-Keys" allow you to assign a push to talk or any sort of macro keys. Let me know if you have any other questions. Please give me feedback, thanks!

Trust me Adam, you can find much better than this. It's EXTREMELY overpriced for what it is. The drivers in this headset are the same ones used in $20 headphones. Take a look at these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826465003&nm;_mc=OTC-pr1c3grabb3r&cm;_mmc=OTC-pr1c3grabb3r-_-Headsets+++Accessories-_-AZIO+Corporation-_-N82E16826465003&scpid;=22&scid;=scsho5454402

This is a stereo headset but the quality is plenty good enough. It sounds amazing on pc. I have not tried it on ps4 but on my Xbox one it hooks up through the stereo jack and the sound goes to complete crap. It is not the headset but the Xbox. Although if I am not mistaken ps4 accepts USB headsets therefore the quality would probably still be good. I know this isn't directly answering your question but it may help with your decision.

I've had this headset for two weeks now and it works good with my 8110. I too like the mini usb charging option, one reason I chose this over some others. I've had Plantronics headsets for about three years now, formerly had Voyager 510 and it is the best of all the ones I've tried. I've had 6 Motorola headsets and they all were unsatisfactory. I think you're making a good choice, comfortable to wear and sound is good on both ends. Wow, just noticed this post is 3yrs. old.

I just ordered this headset and the mute button does not sync with Lync. Has anyone else had this problem?

Hi "Scruffy",I have seen the Beats headset in stores, but haven't compared it with mine. I can say, I really like Purity Pro. The battery performance is so good that I forget to charge it as it goes weeks on a charge. I did get a chance to compare the set to a Bose headset in their store with their generated airplane noise. The Purity Pro came second, but I am not complaining. The one issue I have is that my callers complain about the microphone catching noise on the street when things seem calm to me.Hope I provided some useful details for you.

Austin, for me and simply, yes, it is worth more than $70. I am not a gamer, however, and just an old music fan and especially the multi channel sounds available with 5.1 or higher outputs. I have my 'sound room' (AKA our TV room) set to 5.1 but with about 20 different speakers in different locations around the room. In no instance can I replicate the output I receive from the Logitech G430. It captures every sound I normally hear and on certain playback sounds I have never heard before. If I were buying a headset for gaming I would attempt to find a cordless one first with no strong need for the G430 type of output. But, as I said I am not a gamer and I can see where a 7.1 output could be fantastic. At times the headset is well worth far more than $70 and if I had the same set in a cordless version I would be delighted if it works as well. Additionally, I have several sets of cheap headphones and one set that cost over $100. Not one of them matches the quality and performance of the G430. I hope my reply added a different dimension to your investigation and if you decide on this set I think you will get the same level of entertainment as I have. Good question and sorry for the bloviation, John

I definitely like it for pc gaming and i like it, but if you already have a mic i would try that out and see if it works well with your setup and it sounds nice before you go and buy another one. I would always rather have this over a headset though.

I would not recommend this headset. The mic was dead on arrival but the speakers were working. I would suggest going for headset above > $20 to get a product that actually works. HTH.
