Like Logitech, Plantronics' microphone is a flexible, rubber-coated stick that can be angled into the position required. At least, that's how it's supposed to work. Here, the microphone is a little too supple and isn't firm enough to hold its position...

The Plantronics GameCom 777 PC headset isnt the most attractive gaming headset out there, but it is competent and comfortable to wear once properly adjusted. The included Dolby USB adapter adds a wide soundstage and the audio quality is good for gaming or listening to MP3s. The Plantronics GameCom 777 headset is not particularly inspiring to look at. Bland, matte grey plastic is used for the headband and ear-cups, with a few shiny black accents. It certainly isnt as stylish credentials as the...

The gaming headphones segment is not exactly booming, rather we only have a product once every few months. Towards the end of 2010, we had seen Corsair’s HS1 Gaming Headphones churning out some real sound and we now wonder whether Plantronics’ entr...
The GameCom 777 is priced at Rs. 4,999, which is the exact same tag which the Corsair HS1 carried. In terms of performance however, the HS1 made a lot of sense. They might be big, but are definitely comfortable. Even in audio quality, there’s nothing m...

Gamecom 777 is an impressive gaming headset, but is priced slightly on the higher side. On the other hand, there are other gaming headsets, quite at par with this one, like the Razer Orca that costs a mere 3.5k. To sum up, it is an excellent performe...

Plantronics vents the can exteriors for an “open-air” design to let you better hear teammates. Given the mic issues, we would have preferred a closed-air model. For phenomenal clarity in all of your games and media, the 777 rules, but we sure would love to have these drivers placed in a revamped headset.
