Plantronics GameCom 780

 

We were optimistic about the Plantronics GameCom 780 PC gaming headset, but it felt short in audio quality. The new design overshadows the faults of older models, but we still hoped for more. A large benefit to this PC gaming headset is the low price...

The Plantronics GameCom 780 is comfortable to wear for extended gaming sessions

The ear cups are bigger than necessary

Overall, this is a balanced headset, but it does not have anything that really sets it apart.

Fantastic price, fantastic sound

 

These are my first set of high end headsets and since then, I've been comparing headsets left and right. That includes products from turtle beach, gamecom, razer, and a few others ; I haven't found any headset that has delivered better sound quality...

Maybe I'm stupid, but I haven't found an easy way to get all the dust bunnies and other things out of the comfort material on the headset, but that's it

It's okay, I suppose

 

The more relevant product specifications are: Cable length: 2 meters/6 feet Speaker driver size: 40 mm diameter Speaker Frequency response: 20 Hz-20 kHz Speaker sensitivity: 123 dBSPL/mW Speaker impedance: 32 ohms Microphone frequency response: 100...

The mic isn't nearly as bad as some, more expensive, USB headsets, but it could be better ; The audio sounds good, but does leave something to be desired at lower levels

Even after being adjusted the headset is rather tight ; Sound leakage is an issue. Not only will you enjoy listening to your music, everyone else will too ; Playing back audio with a lower frequency causes crackling when using the surround sound...

Do not buy

 

While this is a good headset, it falls short in some important categories. There are better offerings from other manufacturers, so steer clear of this.

Great headset, sounds are crisp and clear and 7.1 is awesome. Well built, decent quality for the price

These have the same freq. response and LESS bass than my creative fatality headset that is >5 years old ; The microphone is a mixed bag on this one. Its extremely clear and sounds great, however it picks up every single noise in the room. When I say...

Yes.

 

Very happy with this.

This headset is very sturdy, the sound quality is great, the mic is good. Overall simply a great headset, better than the last 3 that I've owned by far

Perfect Fit.

 

Definitely worth the money. I was hoping to not have to pay over $100 for a great quality headset and this is exactly what I was looking for. I suggest this for anyone who would like to save a little change but get their boom for their buck.

The fit is amazing, for any head size. They are incredibly comfortable and lightweight ; Sound is amazing. I'm hearing parts of songs I've never heard before, and this is only an upgrade from Plantronics 5.1 Surround Sound ; They feel very sturdy, not...

The mute/volume buttons are somewhat in an odd place. It's more of an inconvenience than a con really ; My computer volume is on the lowest it can go without being muted and I still have to turn down whatever it is I'm listening to in the program, the...

Buy them!

 

Great headphones for a mid-range price and includes Dolby 7.1 surround that gives you a feeling like you are there... Stylish design and Plantronics really made good job with these even that they are not a brand like razer or somethin like that.I did...

Nothin yet

Great

 

I bought elsewhere (I needed it right then,lol) at the same price and have no regrets. It's virtual 7.1 but works well with BF3. If all is quiet except their creeping, I can tell when someone is trying to sneak up on me from behind. Of course the 7.1...

Excellent sound quality for 5.1, 7.1 music or gaming. Very comfortable to wear for extended time, as in 1 1/2 hours of BF3 playtime. The 7.1 works well in BF3, setting the game audio to "War tapes" and enabling the sound option (forget what they call...

For ME (Window's 7, 64bit ) it defaults to 5.1 on computer restart, I need to remember to set config to 7.1 when playing BF3, config is easy with shortcut to Window's Sound Control Panel. 15 seconds at the most and your good to go

Plantronics GameCom 780

 

Massive cans, good sound quality, and a serviceable microphone. The build quality is also quite good. The USB cable is thin but ruggedized, which is nice since that is usually the first part of anything to get ruined

Cans are too massive. Even for over-the-ear headphones these things are huge. Be advised

Incredible Headset

 

Excellent headset, love the sound and surroundness. If you have Windows 7 remember to set the sound quality, in the sound control panel, to studio or else it won't sound as good. I now have 3 friends with this headset, so look no further for great a...

Awesome Quality. Sounds Fantastic. Sturdy, visible cable. Headset does not feel cheap, and gives peace of mind when using it. Music quality and gaming quality are fantastic, I played some Skyrim, and could tell the entire time where the pesky dragon...

Little tight for people with big heads. I don't wear hats because my head is so big, but I put the headset on a basketball overnight and they stretched out and are now incredibly comfortable ; ONLY Usb, so I can't plug the awesomeness into my phone ;...
