Overall we are impressed with the Plantronics GameCom 777 gaming headset. It has numerous positive aspects which includes an external sound card enabling Dolby Headphone and virtual 7.1 surround sound on the headset.  Also, the inclusion of 3.5mm connectors means that it is compatible with most portable devices.

The build quality and finish are excellent, although we do feel that the visage of the headset is a little boring as it's finished exclusively in matte black.  Other headsets on the market like the SteelSeries Siberia V2 are much more exciting to look at and are likely to be favoured by gamers who are renowned for snazzy-looking peripherals.

For most gamers, the price of a product is one of the most significant factors to consider.  At a price of £50 from eBuyer, we believe the Plantronics GameCom 777 headset offers really good value for money.  Unlike most other virtual surround sound headsets in this price range, the USB sound card isn't built in and the headset features 3.5mm connectors.  This means that you can use it with any device, without having to buy separate headsets for different devices.

Pros

• 7.1 surround sound
• USB sound card included
• 3.5mm connectors for mobile devices
• Good build quality
• Very comfortable
• Offers good value for money

Cons

• Bland design

KitGuru says: A great headset with understated aesthetics.
