Anybody here have a set? I'm tempted to get them.
I'm really interested as it actually has 10 drivers and apparently works really well, reviews are positive.

I had one for about a month, the sound quality wasn't bad in comparison to other gaming headsets but i found my similarly priced headphones (such as the fidelio x2 and hd 599) superior in sound quality and comfort.

Increasing amount of Chinese garbage doesn't make it good.
Gaming brands sell cheapest Chinese junkf with huge profit margins using bling bling and marketing hype.
This is what kind frequency responses those have:

Roller coaster's loop wouldn't be out of place in those curves.

For their price you can get proper quality headphones from real audio makers.
Heck, Beyerdynamic DT990's Pro version costs just little over half of them!
And for same total price you can add Sound Blaster Z for binaural simulation and you'll get proper sound quality for music and movies and also nice 3D sound for games.
Headphone 3D sound has nothing to do with how many junk drivers there's stuffed into them.
Those can't even fully create sound of properly set surround sound home theater.

Those lot cheaper than Asus DT990 Pros, Fideolios or HD599 will give good sense of not only sound source's direction but also depth:
As in other sounds clearly coming from farther away while other sound appear to come from close distance.
It needs only good sound quality proper sound stage headphones when signal is processed to contain information brain uses to tell those things.

With playback set to stereo and all effects/processing disabled first minute of this video tells straight away if headphones you're using have any sound quality.
(with the exception of listener's head/ear shape and size being lot different from average)


Of course if your environment is noisy then closed headphones like Beyerdynamic's DT770 would be better than open design headphones.
 
I think you're mistaken, I have several pairs of better headphones for general use believe me, and i'm aware that the frequency response will be worse.
I'm looking for a pair purely for atmospheric gaming with surround sound, most of the virtual surround is pretty naff so i'm looking for something that actually uses multiple channels for positional sound and by the looks of it, these may actually be pretty good.
I may buy a pair to try out and maybe review them.
