I didn't even have to install the drivers from the headphone's CD or website. Windows 7 seems to already have the generic drivers to run this bad boy. Great headphones.

The right side of the headphones is almost completely dead. It just went silent yesterday. There is no sound, there is no bass, there is no lights, but there IS force feedback. I took the unit apart to try and solve the problem (the plastic sizing band was broken anyway from repetitive stress so I figured what the hell). There is a very faint sound coming from the rumbler. I generally keep the FF off, though. Suffice to say I can not discover the problem, but I am considering a new headset, from a different manufacturer.

But the software don't seem to work. I've tried the drivers noted by Redemption and still get the blue screen of death (BSOD). I have never had the cracking sound everyone talks about. My problem is getting the BSOD after about 10 min of gameplay. I also find it disturbing that the driver software only offers 2 settings. 2 speaker and 7.1. I would think that if the Headphones are 5.1, then there should be a 5.1 setting. I have uninstalled the software and selected in my control panel speaker settings, 5.1 and I guess that's about as good as it's going to get. Once in a while, it seems the front speaker is turned off. In Battleground Europe, I have to turn my head left or right to hear a veh noise coming inbound. I love the headphones.

Other than having to change a sound setting in my game, il-2 1946, these headphones run the game, teamspeak, and pandorabox...all at the same time...never had a problem. These headphones are freeking awesome. I’ve had these headsets for over a couple of years now.

The drivers for vista crash constantly with a loud blam in my ears, and they also crash whatever game i'm playing. The microphone has a constant hissss to it trying to talk in team speak. Total waste of money. When they do work, the force feedback is like someone clapping their hands over your ears. Pile of trash. My old piece of crap logitecs were 100 times better and when I plug those back in I can at least play my games. These headsets are horrible.
