Definitely enhances my game play. I am having an issue with having to manually tell my PC to use my headset, or my speakers. Like if I am playing alone in the house, I usually use my speaker setup. But if the wife is here, or I need to use my mic, I have to go into my device manager, and manually change my default device to the headset. Has anyone else ran into this problem? If so, how did you correct it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then click on ok. That's how i switch back and forth. Also, you can't be in game (or be playing a movie/mp3) when u do it or it won't take till you restart the media/game.

Guess this is a major drawback to USB powered headphones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I did was create a desktop shortcut to the Sound control panel os i just have to double click then choose my sound device to switch between them instead of having to manually navigate to the control panel every time. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a big deal really, now that I know how to switch them manually. I don't use my externals for much except maybe TF2 cuz there is no surround sound. But thank for all the advice!
