    They look pretty good but I reckon the price needs to drop by about £30 be successful.. I have used the Senheisser HDR120 wireless headphones for a couple of years now working theough a Creative Fatal1ty Sound Blaster Card. I like the fact the Senheisser sits charging up on the transmitter stand when not in use. No problems with sound quality and distance either so this latest Corsair model does not persuade me to upgrade.

    I know it's wireless but I would rather have a decent analogue headset (say sennheiser HD558's or Denon AH-D1100's) with a sound card. My HS1's were alright, but when I plugged my old Plantronics 377's into my new D2x they became so good, I would keep them if they were comfortable to wear! Wireless/usb headsets aren't worth the £100+ mark because they just aren't as good as dedicated sound cards.

    These look pretty nice, but they are quite pricey. I've never really used headsets, would getting one be beneficial when gaming?

    This.

    There were two immediate red flags about this product, first being wireless audio (headphones/speakers/toaster oven/etc) and the second being USB (for the same devices).

    Considering the apparently overpriced standard being practiced on PC audio peripherals, it's yet another product that pales in comparison to even entry quality hifi gear (namely headphones), to which things like Creative Aurvana Live! (don't be mistaken by the brand, the drivers are custom made by Denon), Denon AH-D1001 (the discontinued superior version of the currently sold AH-D1100), Audio-Technica ATH-AD700 (lacking bass presence but with extraordinary soundstage and positional cue accuracy) and Sennheiser HD598 vastly outperform ALL "gaming" headsets in the market, being only required to add either a clip-on mic or doing a boom mic mod to have significantly superior sound quality. The only exception to headsets is the Sennheiser PC360, which is the king of headsets, having the AiO package of high quality headphones and decent mic altogether.

    So yes, wireless/USB audio (for headphones and speakers, not for DACs and such) are a big no no if someone is looking for sound and build quality.

    I've got the wired version of this (1500), very comfortable and bags of cable length so I don't really see the need for the wireless set. Yes it's usb, but for games that's good enough for me.

    I think there was a giveaway a while ago. It's most likely over now.

    I'll stick with my Astro A40s for now although... 7.1 is bigger than 5.1
