Highlight Features: The headset comes with a range of highlight or key features. The first feature is the 7.1 virtual sound effect. This virtual surround sound is designed to produce real, crisp, and clear sound quality. It does so by reflecting the in-game environment with a high degree of accuracy as well as clarity. Sounds play a critical role in gaming and this virtual surround sound effect can enable you to forestall or pinpoint your enemies much easier. That is, with the 360-degree sound field, you can easily and clearly hear detailed sounds in every direction, which means your reaction will be much faster.

The omnidirectional microphone is another highlight feature of the SOMIC G941 headset. You can easily swivel the boom arm of this high-sensitivity mic to your preferred position. Doing this allows for clear and better communication when gaming. To mute the mic, simply fold it up and it will mute automatically.

The in-line control is another key feature of this gaming headset. This multifunctional on-cord control is highly versatile and easy to control. Using the dial, you can adjust the volume switch as well as the mic and vibration switches to turn the mic or vibration on and off. The other significant feature on this gaming headset is the vibration unit. If your game involves gunfire, explosions, or strikes, the vibration unit will enhance the bass automatically. This improves your gaming experience through the vibrations and sound details delivered. This vibration technology works in the sense that if an enemy attacks you from your right side, the vibration intensity in the right ear increases.

The USB plug on the SOMIC G941 uses anti-interference technology. The external USB sound card delivers quality sound and transfers the sound signal stably. This USB sound card is made of oxygen-free copper material that has strong tensile strength, making it wear resistant. This headset requires lithium metal batteries.

It also has LED indicators that give it a cool feature. The red LED light will stay on when the microphone is active so if you need to switch it (the mic) off, you can simply look at the light.
