Do your research first!
So I tend to research everything before buying it and maybe that’s why I have VERY little low rated reviews. I must not have done enough research or don’t understand what I’m doing because I did not end up with a product that I’m even proud to review. With that said I don’t even use it as it just sits in my pc case because my motherboard has a better audio setup for 7.1 razed Tiamat2 the brand new one they just dropped. All input wires from the headset each have a place for insertion on my mobo but on the sound card it leaves out one of the wires I forget which one but what is that all about? So it’s not true 7.1 is what that tells me. And it states it comes with swappable amps but all myBox had was the card itself. Needless to say I’m using the motherboards setup as if you spend enough on your mobo it will have a very decent audio setup. I’ve added a photo of the headset to show I’m not just bashing the product while using iPhone headphones lol take care and good luck with this one guys and gals!
Thank you for your feedback
