PLANTRONICS GAMECOM 777 DOLBY 7.1 HEADPHONES
This gaming headset is also a surround sound system for your head. Plug it into a PC or Mac using the supplied dongle to simulate the effect of a proper 7.1 speaker system.
This is obviously not as convincing as proper surround sound, but it does add an eerie sense of depth and space that enhances gaming – you can hear foes creeping up behind you in Call Of Duty. For music playback the sound can be overly bass-heavy, but for gamers it’s ideal.
(+) Good surround sound mimicry
(-) Bass-heavy when playing music
Price £80
