Prev2 of 2Next
Metal band still reverberates when touched
7.1 performance isn't up to par with competitors
Overly expensive when compared feature-to-feature with competitors
Missing the on-ear buttons of a lot of other headsets makes mid-game muting and volume tweaks a bit of a pain
So-so surround sound

Microphone-monitoring feature isn't documented anywhere - found it almost by accident

Design is nice
