so far I love this. Has great sound. You would think we had surround sound. We had it on during a regular tv show and were surprised by the sounds we heard from the show that we never knew were on it.

The quality of the item is nice but but the surround sound is poor.
I believe everybody buy 7.1 Headphones for surrond, so I do not reccoment buying this!

The sound is muffled and muddy when using the wire. Thankfully, you can correct this if your device/computer has audio equalization. I found the "Soft" preset in Windows gave the best overall sound. The sound is also much better when using bluetooth, which is a relief because you can't use equalization in that mode (on Windows 8, at least). It's not quite as good as with equalization in wired mode, but it's not obviously bad. When using noise cancellation, the muddiness disappears but the high tones become overemphasized. Since you can't correct that in bluetooth mode, your only hope is that your media player or whatever you're using supports EQ.

Unlike the on-ear headphones I was using before, these feel comfortable after a couple hours of use. I haven't had any problems with the bluetooth yet. Note that the low latency mode will not work unless you have a transmitter that supports aptX low latency (I don't have one yet, so I can't comment on how it well it works).

Update:
I finally got an apt-x low-latency transmitter (Priva II). It works great with these headphones (and I can use EQ since it isn't a dongle)! ~32ms audio delay is not noticeable unless you're really looking for it, or if you're producing music. I use bluetooth exclusively now. No connectivity problems to speak of.

The attached iamge shows my EQ settings in Windows for these headphones (the bottom is used when noise cancelling is on). I calibrated by ear using a pink noise method.

I'm a huge music listener, I average at least 20-30 hours a week and I always hated wearing headphones because nothing sounded anywhere near as good as my surround sound. After using this product for a little over a month now I can say its better than my $700 surround sound! Everything is crystal clear and I hear things I've never heard on the track before, even on songs I've listened to hundreds of times. I now almost prefer to listen to music on my headphones!

On a small side note, If you like heavy metal music like myself and are concerned about your headphones carrying over the dramatics of bass drops and breakdowns, this does great!

I wanted it to be louder. But it does have a neat 3d sound feature which throws noises and creates the feel of surround sound.

The sound is okay.  It could be better.  It seems to have a slight delay sometimes but it does allow me to utilize my 5:1 surround sound speakers.  I have tweaked the settings and controls for quite some time now and can't seem to get the sound I'm looking for.  But they work.

1080p looks great on a tv this small and the sound is great for a TV . it has real 2.1 surround, which is controlled by a yamaha amp with a subwoofer and 2 other speakers. i think the sound is so good because the case is so big.

Looks nice and feels pretty comfortable but sounds ok at best. Midrange and treble sounds muffled and bass is distorted.

I really want to like this soundbase. It checks everything that I'm looking for from a compact audio system. However, the fact that I cannot turn off the surround is a major issue. The audio sounds amazing when playing movies. Many times I thought I had speakers behind my couch. AccuVoice is good for dialogue and Audio leveling feature works fine if not a little muffling.

What makes this soundbase unbearable is strictly when playing music. All I can hear is audio but not the vocal. Tried adjusting it on numerous settings to no avail. Tested from different sources via optical, coaxial, and 3.5mm cable. Some sounds sound fine while others do not.

These headphones don't lie when they say surround sound! The sound quality is excellent, even better than a well known brand in the gaming world that rhymes with "hurtle peach". You really feel like the sound is in the room, almost like you're not wearing a head set! Did I mention how absolutely comfortable these are? The microphone is also great, and you can adjust it out of the way for those times you're solo gaming. I absolutely LOVE the reinforced wire! I'm really very pleased with these, and my only regret is all of the money I've literally wasted on other gaming headphones in the past.

Replaced Very Cheap Set of Speakers that was included with my computer.
The difference in sound is night and day.
I literally did a double take when I pulled up Netflix to play a video when I heard the sound difference..

I really like this.  I've recently decided to move my office PC to a room dedicated to VR, but I still wanted to use my PC for normal functions in my office.  This had me most excited because it supported HDMI, 3.5mm audio, and USB all over 1 cat 5E.  Everything works solid, except for the audio.  It "works", but at anything higher than mid volume, it's extremely distorted.  Zero bass response.  I'm not trying to destroy my ears, but even at comfortable listening levels, I can't listen to music on it.  Since I have a soundblaster z, this kinda sucks.  Going to try a soundblaster USB audio stick to see if it's any better.  I'm assuming that it just doesn't have the power to push that much wattage through whatever pairs it's using.

The PoE function is super useful too.  All in all, I'm happy I bought it, I just wish the audio worked better.

I doubt you could get this type of sound quality from any other device.  I use it every day, even though I have a good surround sound system on my TV.  This is better.  Everything in BlackOps or MW3 comes to life, and death, of course.

i thought it's better than this Uncomfortable and sound looks like you hear it in cave ,i try it with two different sound card , you can't just use it normally without messing with EQ
