Customer Review: Not the best surround effect
Summary: 2 Stars
First the positives...
The sound itself, is great for gaming, with excellent deepness, especially with explosions, etc. I would not use them for music listening, but that is not what they are intended for anyway.
Now the bad...
The surround sound 'effect' is VERY poor. I had an old pair of Kinyo surround headphones that finally broke and I needed to replace. Because of them, I know that you really can get true surround effects when the headphones have REAL SEPARATE speakers for the various surround channels.
These TekNmotion headphones are really just 'stereo' with a subwoofer (2.1). They instead use software to pretend they are surround sound. Because of this, you really can't distinguish if the sound is in front or from behind. This defeats the whole purpose of why I bought surround headphones to use with First Person Shooters, which was to easily tell which direction enemies approach.
Moral of the story: For Gaming with real surround, stick with headphones that have PHYSICALLY separate drivers for front and back surround, like the Turtle Beach or the old Kinyo's I had.
Customer Review: Better headsets available for the money
Summary: 1 Stars
I'm a gamer and after reading the reviews, I was anxious to receive this headset. It's built very well, it's comfortable to wear, and the lights on the ear pieces are cool but I was unimpressed with the sound quality and getting the mic to work was a hassle. You can get a better sounding headset for the money you spent on this one, trust me. I have an older model HP headset and I have yet to find a headset that can match the sound quality. Unfortunately, it has been discontinued.
Shop around and see what else is available before you spend your cash on this one.
