I use it for a little over a year now and I am happy despite its large defects. The 7.1 is managed effectively, the headset works great but the connector is to review, there are constant crackling when the volume is set to maximum. Please note I do not put the sound to background because I am deaf but because the helmet is not a high volume. Anyway, for this budget, this helmet is a very good asset for all lovers of gaming.
