CONCLUSION

   There's a reason behind the increasing number of virtual surround headsets lately and that's mainly because they combine positioning audio by using two standard drivers at a fraction of the price you'd need to purchase a "real" surround headset with multiple smaller drivers in each earcup. Of course most of the times you get what you pay for and so the majority of the virtual surround headsets out there offer mediocre positioning audio at best which is also why i prefer to use them as regular stereo headsets. Fortunately the Tunguska 7.1 Virtual Surround USB Gaming Headset did better in that area than i had expected however it didn't manage to impress us with its overall audio quality. So although it offers very good mid clarity the high end is a bit lacking in depth and accuracy while the bass is not even close to what I’d call rich something which we come across often with headsets that utilize 40mm drivers. Of course in games the above is not very important since positioning audio and overall clarity matter most but if you plan on listening to your favorite tracks or watching movies the Tunguska 7.1 is not ment for you. Moving to the overall quality of the headset although it's made primarily by hard plastic we found it to be quite flexible and comfortable to wear for many ours so that combined with its design give it quite a few points. The microphone also worked quite well although we did encounter some distortion at first which went away shortly after.

   As with almost every new manufacturer out there Attitude One has yet to expand everywhere so the Tunguska 7.1 Virtual Surround USB Gaming Headset is currently only available in the EU for a price tag of 69.90Euros (Alternate). That price tag lands the Tunguska 7.1 quite higher than many other similar virtual surround headsets from a large number of manufacturers that offer similar levels of audio quality so in the end it's more about what you like most in terms of design than anything else. Personally i do like what Attitude One has done with the Tunguska 7.1 Virtual Surround USB Gaming Headset in terms of design but i can't say that i was impressed with its sound performance. Sure it's worth a chance if you're out to get a headset to use mostly with games but just like most virtual surround headsets out there it doesn't offer anything groundbreaking. Still if this is the very first attempt by Attitude One to make a virtual surround headset then who knows, we may see a "real" surround headset from them sooner rather than later.
