Recently I bought a headset for my computer. It cos £20, I
bought this one instead of a cheaper one because it had 7.1 surround sound. The
box that the Headset came in contained; the headset, an instruction manual and
a driver disk. This confused me as I assumed you could install it off the
internet.
This headset has a very nice design with a microphone, which
can be lifted up and down as of when required. This means that you don’t have
an annoying mic by the side of your face when you are using them as an everyday
pair of headphones on your computer. The head phone has a memory foam styled
padding that fit around the edge of your ear. These are very comfy when you
have got use to how they feel. At first I found them rather uncomfortable, I
believe this is where I am not use to wearing a headset and needed to get use
to it.
When I first got the headset I plugged it into the USB port
of my Laptop; it took about two minutes to configure on windows 8 I fiddled around
with the settings to make it work best. On my desktop it wasn't as easy. When I
used it on my desktop I actually required the disk. Once I installed this it
worked and it can with an application which allowed you to fiddle with every
setting. Once I had done this I couldn’t have been easier, obviously I had to
change my default mic on Skype but after that it was setup.
The microphone on this was very clear and easy to understand
when I listened to the playback. From what I can tell it is a great starting
headset for gaming and recording videos. The only problem I found was the
microphone picked up background sound but it was an easy fix of turning it
down.
When going through this I have come to the conclusion it is
a great headset for £20. If I was to rate it I would give it a 3out of 5, the
reason for this is because it isn’t the comfiest and the speaker quality isn’t
great for 7.1
