Plantronics Gamecom 777 Gaming Headset Review

There is nothing quite like playing music loud on some nice powerful speakers with a thumping bass. Some days however you might just want to give your neighbours a break. Headphones have been around for a long time and for most of this time were nothing special. As things advanced communications via the computer became more common and as such people needed microphones. Soon afterwards we saw headsets which perform better than using speakers and a boom microphone sat on the desk – for hopefully obvious reasons. With a decent headset your friend on Skype will be able to hear every word however loud the music that you are playing into the headset is.

Headsets have of course advanced quite a lot past the simple model and now they have taken a turn towards the gaming market. This is mainly due to the huge increase of people playing multiplayer games over the internet and wanting to be able to talk to their team mates to coordinate attacks and such like.

According to Plantronics:

Plantronics has 40 years of expertise in acoustic and ergonomic design. All Plantronics headsets will deliver superior durability and reliability backed by a two-year warranty.
