The volume control hooks up directly with windows volume so u dont have to check voume levels at multiple places everytime. The cable is very durable and i have had no issues with its durability. It also has those voice changeing feature its not very good but it can do enough tuning to make u sound different for example like a duck or those heavey voices. it also allows to adjust the surround sound directions so you can even do the 8D rotating audio stuff with just the headphone software on regular songs.Īs per mic its a bit above average at best, people can hear what you say easily no static or fan air noises.
The Surround sounds or as they call it Xear Surround Max in these headphones work decently well. This got my WMP to playback mp3's in 5.1. To get 5.1 I made sure Xear was set on 2 channel in System Input and 6 speaker in Analog Output. All the setting looked correctly set on 5.1, played around with it getting frustrated at only hearing it play back in stereo. Also these headphones can be a little tight when new but after using it for a week or two you get used to it. Reinstalled latest drivers PCI-8738-091211-7. One thing to note is that this headphone can get pretty loud and in most games i have to keep volume at 15-20% to be comfortable. I have used it for almost a year now and this headset being my first full fledged gaming hedset i spent money on i would say its worth it.
