The box comes with a few coupons for Dolby Axon, a quick-start guide, an installation illustration, a USB soundcard, and the headphones themselves. The headphones have 2 large earcups that are surrounded by cloth-covered foam. The headband can extend to 22 notched positions (11 on each side), and the main part of the headband has a thick cloth-covered foam on the underside.
The headphones have a single cord coming from the left earcup, and have several in-line gadgets before the end of the line. A shirt clip is attached to the cord, which allows you to keep the cord pinched to your shirt collar. Below this is an in-line remote, which has a large volume-control knob and microphone mute button. There is plenty of slack in the line before the cable is split out to a 1/8″ stereo jack and microphone jack.
Tucked in the headband of the left earcup is a noise-cancelling microphone. The microphone folds out from 90 degrees (inside the headband) to about 120 degrees, which is about where most people’s chins would be while wearing the headset.

The included USB sound card has two inputs, one for stereo headphones and another for microphone. On the right side is a “surround” on and off toggle switch, which illuminates a blue LED when active. The top of the square device has a short 1-inch USB cable which plugs into any open USB port. It is recommended that this be plugged into one of your PC’s front USB ports, as it would be difficult to switch the surround field on and off if behind your computer.
The earcups surround each ear, but the low-density foam doesn’t have the natural noise-reducing properties as other over-the-ear headphones we’ve tried.

How would you rate these in relation to the g930s, all factors considered?
@Expired: As I mentioned in the review, there isn't a surround headset made that delivers obvious directional sound. If you want it to be apparent then you need a true 5.1 or 7.1 system.
WOW another reviewer makes another review on a "Gaming Headset" without talking about the number one reason a "Gamer" buys one. "HOW WAS THE DIRECTIONAL SOUND QUALITY" ie. can you tell from which direction the enemy is comming from and how does it work with the current available games [not just one]
Logitech's stuff is becoming more and more impressive to me. I used to think of them as the Walmart knockoff of gaming gear, but they're getting better all the time.
