How's the sound quality? I'd be using this for Xbox 360 gaming and sitting 6' - 10' away.

Sound is seldom good on a flatscreen, but honestly, I am not sure I tested much for that as I never planned to use theTV's sound. I have since returrned this item. More a Tv that a monitor. Being a ViewSonic confused me bad.

Sorry I never use the speakers from the monitor usually they aren't good but you could give a try.

Sorry, I didn't check the sound. I sent it back because of grainy fonts before I got to the point of using it for sound.

its over kill xbox's are meant for tvs (720p max) so the extra $150 dollars you spend on resolution is money wasted you will not notice a difference between this and a $200 32in 720p tv (they say with an hdmi the xbox can put out 1080p but all the games are set in 720p to not fry the gpu)

They are awesome for gaming. The only drawback is that you have to buy the attachable mic if you game online. I don't have the mic so I can't speak to that piece. Good luck.

I don't know about best viewing distance... personal preference I guess. I have my Home Theater seats positioned about 15 feet away and it's great. My sons play XBox One and XBox 360 games on it as much we will let them, and it's great.

It sounds pretty good. The mic input is only stereo though so if you are looking for 5.1 the built in mic is your only option.

This works for my son with the headset in his bedroom and the computer in the living room (3 walls in between approx 50 to 75 feet). I personally have gone close to 100 feet with no walls before the sound got a little fuzzy.

using the XP400 and XB1 currently. Sound has no problems, hooks up and sounds just like on the 360, chat sucks because you have to be wired to SPEAK (not to hear) and have the adapter. Dumb, but it works.

Good bass. See the movie, but I think the sound quality is good. Sound is a very rich ... Compared with the old headset ... (g35) .. You probably seem satisfied.

the sound very good.It's able to pick up voices 10 ft. away, as long as people are speaking to where you understand.

I have a fairly small living room but the sound quality on all devices that I have connected (Sat TV, DVD, Music, and XBOX) is great.

Sorry, I'm not a gamer. The sound is excellent with all sorts of music, including very loud and very full such as a large orchestras playing very loudly with crashing percussion, so my best guess would be they would be good for gaming too. They don't have a separate bass which some other sets have, so (again I'm guessing) if you're looking for really loud thumps and things like that, a set with a separate bass may better achieve it. Hopefully a gamer will chime in.

Hey Joel, I would give these a 9. The sound is really good and accurate, specially when playing battlefield or The Last of Us. You can hear all the sounds and the direction they are coming from and you also get really good battery life. The setup is really easy also. Check out my review you can see how the setup is. Hope I helped.

You can use it for gaming, though the quality isn't what you would get with a more expensive set. I have also found that the cord length is rather meager and had to buy extensions to be comfortable.

I would give it a solid "decent". I believe I was expecting better, and looked for something else. In the course of trying more expensive Sennheiser, B&W;, Beats models, I came to feel the less than perfect isolation was way more than offset by everything else. Audio quality is fabulous and so is the design and fit and finish. Let me know how you go on this. Ed

The sound is pretty good. I first used the built-in speakers and they put out decent sound. I ended up getting a sound bar and have it tied in via HDMI. I can't say it's theater quality, but I didn't spend a lot for my sound bar either. All-in-all I enjoy it and the sound from the PS3 games can shake the house a little. Hope that helps.

I use it for PC gaming, mostly the moba and RTS genre. But I occasionally play CS. Works fine, but you have to sit pretty close. And it looks great too. No idea how it works with a console though.

I'm happy with the acoustics, I use in a medium to small room, the high sounds are nice! My high is at level 10, too high going up. Maybe what you are looking for. Best wishes & enjoy!
