Is poor audio quality ruining your game? Don't let your Kill Death Ratio suffer. The Plantronics (NYSE: PLT) GameCom® 780? has you surrounded. The USB headset with Dolby® technology transforms standard audio into immersive 7.1 surround sound for the most realistic gaming experience.

The 780 features a noise-canceling mic that annihilates background noise so commands are heard loud and clear. Need to adjust volume? No problem. The controls are strategically placed right on the headset so you'll always have your eyes on the game and the exposed superhero-strength cords and joints give it a look that rocks as hard as your game.
