Communication side, the microphone did his job perfectly on software such as TeamSpeak, Skype or other, the sound is perfect. Your friends have no cares to hear you like the opposite.
Be careful, though, to drivers. The two versions have a few small care about ... but not of worry, Corsair is listening to consumers and continues to work on its drivers to fix this and improve, again, the quality of listening. As for me, I have not yet tested the 2.0.23 release (beta), but for now, I'm on version 1.1 which, to date, remains the version that will let you make the most of this helmet.
Finally, I would say if you want a gamer headphones without breaking the bank, you take it, you will not be disappointed.
