The Plantronics GameCom 780 USB headset with Dolby® technologies transforms standard audio into a stunning 7.1 surround sound experience. The noise-canceling mic kills background noise so your commands are loud and clear. When you need to take a break, built-in spin joints let the earpods lay flat for easy storage. Need to adjust volume? The controls are right on the earpods so you’ll always have eyes on. The GameCom 780 is built to last with superhero-strength cords and joints; ultra-comfortable ear cushions and headband let you stay in the game for as long as it takes. I bought this headset for about 60€. View full Plantronics GameCom 380 specs on CNET. This feature is not available right now. Please try again later. I used them for about 3 years, almost daily. I used them for everything: Movies, Gaming, Music, YouTube videos, and so on. Design and Build Quality: One of the things I like about this headphones is that they plug via USB. If you do not want to use an headphone amp of something like that, the USB is definitely stronger then a 3.5mm jack that can bend quite easily with a firmer pull. This was done to protect the site from automatic copying. To unpack such a file, you need to use a special program called an archiver. Once the code is entered, the download will start automatically.

The volume adjustment of the back of the left ear cup is quite easily reachable, you do not have to search for the volume adjustment in the cable, as it happens in other headphones. It can make some noise touching the ear cups, but you can always adjust the volume with the computer (this is digital volume only). HOWEVER (and this is a big however), the plastique is of poor quality and it will for sure break sooner or later. Mine broke in 3 point (2 of them are the same but in the opposite side), and I fixed it, but the fit will not be the same. The first time it broke it was still under the warranty of 2 years (give by the local shop), but breaking is considered user abuse and it is not covered by the warranty (I did not ask, but I did not have to). 3/10 Comfort: Regarding comfort, there is not much to say. The velour pads are quite comfortable (but can get a bit dusty). The comfort will decrease after they eventually break, as the fit will not be as good. 8/10 Sound quality: This headphone was a dedicated sound card (that's why it connects through USB cable) which makes it significantly better than its younger brother, the Gamecom 380 (which I owned for about 1 year). This sound card can push the headphones to a quite loud level. It also has the option of turning on the Dolby surround sound 7.1. Without this option on, the sound is not immersive, the sound stage is tiny and its sound signature seem (to me) to up upward sloping: recessed mids and even more recessed bass. Once you turn on the Surround sound the sound signature changes, which should not happen, but it actually makes the sound better as it boosts the bass and, of course, improves significantly the sound stage. ![]() Thus we end up with a sound stage better than in most closed back headphones and a flatter sound signature. 6/10 Microphone: The microphone is quite good. ![]() It's noise cancelling is quite effective. Arguably one of the strongest points of this headset. 10/10 Value: Do you think a 60€ headset that breaks within the warranty (and multiple times in 3 years) can be considered of good value for the money? Personally, I would say 'Hell NO'. The sound quality is not astonishing for the price either, and relies on digital gimmicks to sound better.
