Question regard Plantronics GameCom 777 USB 5.1

dmxdex2020 · 21 Mar 2009 at 11:54

I am looking to buy a decent headset, the plantronics headset seems like a good buy the reviews look good.

Now i says that it is USB and needs to be plug into a USB sound card with 5.1 to get the full experience.

I have the sound blaster x-fi titanium, does the headset have other cables so i can rig it up to my sound card and get the 5.1 from that?

Don't get a USB heaset. They have onboard sound chips and your X-Fi is much better.

Get one with standard jack plugs.

All of the sorround headsets seem to be USB though???

bloody all i want is a headset which i can run through my sound card and get 5.1 lol seems like hardwork finding the right pair.

Can you recommend me a really good pair but at a good price.
