To be honest, I bought it for the sake of a microphone - again, I expected the best. Perhaps if you buy an external sound card, the situation will change for the better. I purchased a headset for playing DotA, in principle I can be heard, but I have to raise my voice. Someone will say "Set your steam and system mic gain to +30 dB". The first is understandable, but the second gives tangible noise in the system. Now I'm thinking about buying an external sound system, if someone has experience using these headphones with a card, I'll be grateful for the response. It makes sense to spend on its purchase is not yet clear.
