First the positives:
+ Was promptly delivered and to plug in and download software from the website, everything went like clockwork.
+ The sound quality has convinced me, especially the virtual 7.1 sound. Some sound fetishists are the whole so critical and swear by Stereo. But I must say for my part that I could quite abgewinnen more virtual 7.1, as my stereo headphones. This may be mainly because I have an on-board sound card only and the 788er has built its own sound card in the handset. But everyone has to decide for themselves what is best for him.
+ Also pleasing comfortable the knobs and dials were (volume, microphone on / off, 7.1 on / off), located at the left ear and not somewhere on the cable (often the Achilles' heel, because there love to perform cable breaks or loose connections after prolonged use) ,
+ The microphone has proved a short test as loud enough and clear. However, it should be clear that the microphone is actually suitable only for Skype or phone calls. But those projects a little more, then grab anyway not necessarily to a headset.
Now for the negatives:
- The cable is a bit short. With front connectors to let the whole rules, however, for my taste not the best solution.
- The padding material I sometimes felt as something scratching. Taken by itself would have been no reason for the return but.
- The pressure on the ears is very high. Whoever designed this headset, also had the strange idea that fortuitous to design almost square. The length of the inner side of the pad is 4.5 - 5 cm, while my ears have a length of> 5 cm. Thus was either a part of the ear lobe or the upper part of the auricle still under the cushion. For eyeglass wearers the whole then is even more unpleasant. Even when completely pulled-out strap, the problem is not solved but only shifted. Instead of pressure points on the ears, I had a headache and a pressing Chill on the lower jaw (approximately at the point where the jaw merges with the skull, just below the ears) after several hours.
Conclusion:
For all the love, a headphone of headaches caused returned. Who has a small head and small ears, which should prepare the whole no problems. In any case, I would recommend against buying a sample over a longer period, because with me, these symptoms have occurred only after about one hour.
