Is anyone happy with their Logitech G35 (7.1) surround sound gaming headset?

Honestly, I didn't know what I was getting into. The only reason I bought it was for the functionalities it had. And because I desperately needed a headset with a microphone. The G35 is a nice solution to the ultimate gamer, especially if you're into competitive online gaming. Oh, I did forget to mention I only got it for $85 on eBay.

I wanted to know if you guys are satisfied with your G35 headset?

I thought for what came out of the box, it delivers pretty good sound, but nothing like non-usb headphones. Of course, you cannot tweak it through your sound card software or anything like that because it's usb. 7.1 does sound pretty good in games like Battlefield Bad Company 2. It has a nice punch to it when you get hit with a rocket launcher. :P

I can see myself using it quite a lot for gaming, but for other things like music... I definitely will stick with my Sennheisers or something similar in quality.

What did you like and not like about it?

For me it's Audiotechnica AD-700's and a FiiO E5 for any sound coming off the on board chip. Saving up for a Xonar Essense in the spring.

i have a pair and i love them.

Though I don't think headphones can ever match the quality of speaker soundAdam_the_Nerd

Take these AKG K1000s for example:

The sound quality from those is comparable to very high end equipment, from the range to distortion, depth and sound stage. The obvious downside is that only one person can listen. These are things I can hopefully cover in the Official Headphone thread.

My brother has Sennheiser's, loves them, but wanted to try this. However, I heard that you could spend the same amount of money and get a great pair of headphones with a soundcard that would sound better. That is how I discouraged him. Though I don't think headphones can ever match the quality of speaker sound, I do love the Sennheiser's and I agree with you. Adam_the_Nerd

What...in God's name are those? KILL IT, KILL IT WITH FIRE! Why not post something sexy like Sennheiser HD800? :P

Yeah, Im quite happy, I "upgraded" from a creative Fatality headset, and the G35 were a great deal better, for games...

For music itaint very good, for moveis it is ok.

I still havent gotten a replacement for a headset to use with music in mind, I doubt I will get one untill hte very end of the year.

Those things look kind of uncomfortable to be honest. I guess what I meant to say is, if circumstances are perfect (i.e. no neighbors, no noise restrictions, infinite budget), would you not prefer an incredible multi-thousand dollar surround sound system to a pair of $500 headphones? Adam_the_Nerd

Agreed. I was playing horror games with headphones in the dark --> unparalleled experience. Adam_the_Nerd

Agreed.

Amnesia + headphones + night time with no lights + house that makes a lot of noise for some reason + loud volume = unparalleled amount of pants gone to waste.

That's what I was playing! That, and this one called "The Void" that is pretty awesome as well.
