So.. Does anyone have them?
I picked up a set from NewEgg and I'm not sure what I think. Lets just say last night I didn't hesitate at requesting an RMA. Few things I noticed;
- Voice effects were kinda cool.
- The headset cover your entire ear to cancel out noise, however after 30 mins my ears were sweating.
- They are a tad heavy
- The wireless f'n RAWKS! It' by far the best I've ever experienced.
I'm not sure if they need to break in or not, don't know. I'm torn. One thing that REALLY bothers me is sound setup. I have a fairly powerhouse computer; fully water cooled X58 custom. This rig cost me almost $4500 in parts when I built it. Whenever you plug in the dongle and you sync the headset, nothing switches in Windows 7 Ultimate. You have to actually go into your system audio and tell it to use the WOW Headset for output/input. Then you have to do the same inside WOW's options otherwise you end up with what I experienced last night. Vent in my headset and WOW still playing on my desktop.
To think of it, I didn't try wired speakers. My Z5500's work off an Optical port on my Mobo (I have 7.1 HD onboard chipset.) I wonder if I go to the wired cables on my Z5500 if it will auto-switch.
I'm still not 100% sure what it would be like in a 3-4hr raid session.
