Plantronics Gamecom 780 review

The Gamecom 780 is the latest gaming headset from Plantronics featuring a retro design and Dolby Digital virtual 7.1 surround sound.

The Gamecom 780 is a bargain of a headset at just £38 offering a cool retro design, comfort and Dolby 7.1 surround. Sound performance is great for games and movies, and almost as good for music. It's a shame the excellent surround sound feature isn’t...

Plantronics GameCom 780

The budget-minded headset has great compatibility and sound that rivals its more expensive counterparts, but unfortunately fails to live up to Plantronics' namesake with a middling microphone.

Comfortable and lightweight, Decent stereo quality, On-ear headset controls, Dolby Headphone and Pro Logic support, Excellent directional sound, Decent game compatibility, Configurable speaker layout

Noisy microphone, Short headphone cord, No equalizer settings, Stereo-only support for OpenAL games

Plantronics GameCom 780 Gaming Headset Review

The Plantronics GameCom 780 features some welcomed upgrades from the popular 777 headset and adds style and performance to boot. With online prices well below MSRP the Plantronics GameCom 780 is a must-buy for serious gamers.

Plantronics GameCom 780 7.1 Surround Sound PC Gaming Headset

This headset integrates a noise-cancelling microphone, which allows your voice to be heard clearly during multiplayer games (by cancelling out any background noise). This can make a big difference to your teammates if you do a lot of online gaming. The...

Overall we were very impressed with both the superior sound and build quality of the GameCom 780. The Dolby Surround Sound works extremely well and made a noticeable improvement to both the gaming and listening experience. The noise cancelling mic...

Plantronics Gamecom 780

Good value for money. Nice design. Decent sound quality.

NOT COMPATIBLE WITH WINDOWS 8. Absolutely inexcusable. Generally Windows 7 drivers will work with Windows 8, but the drivers specifically are blocked from being installed on Windows 8 which is ridiculous. I was able to get it to work by disabling...
