Lately, people have started paying attention to the finer details of PC gaming. One thing that used to be overlooked was audio. Saving up for that killer PC build usually didn't include a nice set of speakers, especially if there were room mates to consider. Now products have come out that take care of this problem. Gaming headsets are becoming more and more popular, which comes to no surprise that Logitech has stepped up with their new G35 7.1 surround sound headset release earlier this year.


The retail box boasts Logitech's signature branding. The headset is pictured on the left with it flowing into the real headset that you can see on the right. The clear plastic shows off the microphone and buttons. On the back, it lists the features corresponding to the diagram of the headset itself. The bottom shows the package contents and the detailed specifications, which I have taken from Logitech's website and posted below.
