I use the headphone on the dongle exclusively, and its definitely not a bad solution if you don't have working jacks (which I do), without any noise that you get with some bad quality usb sound cards. The virtual 7.1 surround sound supposedly comes from the usb dongle which could account for the $35 difference between this and the G230 at the time of purchase, and I have no idea how much of the surround sound I've experienced comes from the soundcard, and how much is just from the game's sound design. The headset has a switch for mic and a slider for volume, and the mic is definitely not something you wanna use if recording audio is your thing, however it is legible and functional for basic communication. When I first reviewed this headset I felt that it sounded cheap compared to the JVCs, and it still doesn't feel as precise or clear of a sound, but its not a bad experience and definitely won't impair any gaming, movie watching, or normal music.Ībout 15 days ago the plastic part holding the drivers to the headband cracked near the screws, causing the ears to slip off the headphone and dangle from the internal wires, and I had to repair it with superglue, and so far there aren't any issues and my headset still retains full functionality Other than that, the headset has been decent in terms of overall comfort, and I like that over ear headsets don't press my ears against my glasses, which was an issue with a previous pair of on ear headphones (JVC HA S500) I've owned. I have this weird slight bulge running down the center of my head, so headphones with a single-piece head cushioning give me a headache, but this was easily resolved with some tape strapped around the center of the head band. The cloth earpads aren't the most comfortable as they can get a bit scratchy/irritating, but not a big issue. I have owned this headset for about 13 months now.
