Logitech G35

Introduced at CES 2009, the G35 is a high end 7.1 surround sound headset by Logitech. Using a USB connection for power and data, the G35 provides 7.1 surround sound powered by Dolby technology as well as a variety of controls such as game macro setting, voice morphing, as well as quick access to volume controls and microphone mute. The headset also includes a unidirectional, noise cancelling microphone that will pick up your voice, and negate any unwanted background racket. The G35 will ship sometime in March with an MSRP of $130.
