You didnt go over audio quality. Some of my friends have the cheaper wired headsets from logitech and they sound like complete crap for music or games. Maybe its because im spoiled by my open ear headphones (Samson SR850). I dont know how people stand to be fed 60 dollar and up headsets that sound like crap just because they are labeled gaming and are from a certain company. My headphones are 46 dollars on amazon and i highly recommend them. You probably have never heard of the brand Samson either. The 7.1 surround sounds un natural for headphones, like the sound is 6 feet away from you. I guess thats the point with surround sound speakers but you have 2 ears for a reason and can tell direction with 2 channels just fine. If you need a mic get a desktop one or a stick on lav. If you need macros get a gaming keyboard. Anyway, im not completely judging this particular model because i have not experienced it, but i know the cheaper ones ($60 and below) are crap like a lot of gaming headsets such as turtle beach. Maybe the high price point gives them better sound and not just pretty lights and the other features. If you want audio quality you can get high quality headphones that are less than half the price and spend the rest on something like a Blue Yeti.
