Wow, I was kind of expecting the usual "overpriced and horrible sound quality", but I'm impressed now. Not that I would buy it, but you've defo changed my opinion on Razer products.
 
Bought this right when Far Cry 4 was out and I experienced 7.1 for the first time. Thanks to it I can hear a rhino running towards me without turning my view and immediately I ran and jumped into the water haha. Good times. The top felt heavy after hours of use though.
 
Did you test the mic? I.E. join a teamspeak and have someone else listen to it? That's often where these things cheap-out which while it doesn't affect *you* as the owner, it will affect eeeeeveryone else. lol

In the days of Soldier of fortune 2 I had a pair of medusa surround sound, amount of times you get accused of cheating because you turn in the direction before you see someone :)
