  I bought one of these recently from EB Games and it's a nice headset - usually my ears get too hot when enclosed, but these are light weight and comfortable and seems to have good voice pickup too.

  But I'm sure I didn't pay $78 for them (currently price at EB Games), would have to go docket hunting at home.

  From the images, the ear cups are small for an over the ear headset, not comfortable for many hours of use. Your ears will be sore

    Not my experience - in fact, I love watching movies with this on laptop - with latest drivers, surround is great. Only negative - no outside noise isolation at all.

    Superseded by GameCom 788, hence low price, I guess.

    nah.. I've got big ears and they easily sit inside the cups and don't get cooked after hours of use.

  If anyone is looking for a decent gaming headset, grab these ones especially when it's selling at such a great price. I have bought a couple of these for myself and friends and they have yet to fail me (over 2 years). Good find OP.

  I have a Gamecom 367 I bought in 2010. Still going strong, comfy, does a good job.

  Pfft….add $12 for shipping :(

  So much for 'free shipping'

  Shafted

  pookie on 21/11/2014 - 23:39

  Damn it, Amazon only offer free shipping within the US, which is understandable I guess.

  Anyway, thanks OP, I grabbed a pair :)

  If they don't work on my iMac I can give them to someone as a Xmas gift LOL

  Cheers

    guys.. it's a headset. there are no drivers, you plug it into the PC (headphone socket), your mobile phone, CD player etc. and it just works.

    On a PC you may need to change the sound output device if you have a speaker normally as your primary sound output, but that's it.

  From what mates say these didn't wok with windows 7 but work with vista …… Plantronics customer service was useless..

    Your mate is clueless, I have them on win7 fine

      His mate goes 'hasta la vista baby' all the way!

      Vista had the worst driver support, and you are telling us that an USB headset works fine on a shitty OS with known driver issues rather than a mature well optimized OS?
