First the positives...
The sound itself, is great for gaming, with excellent deepness, especially with explosions, etc. I would not use them for music listening, but that is not what they are intended for anyway.
Now the bad...
The surround sound 'effect' is VERY poor. I had an old pair of Kinyo surround headphones that finally broke and I needed to replace. Because of them, I know that you really can get true surround effects when the headphones have REAL SEPARATE speakers for the various surround channels.
These TekNmotion headphones are really just 'stereo' with a subwoofer (2.1). They instead use software to pretend they are surround sound. Because of this, you really can't distinguish if the sound is in front or from behind. This defeats the whole purpose of why I bought surround headphones to use with First Person Shooters, which was to easily tell which direction enemies approach.
Moral of the story: For Gaming with real surround, stick with headphones that have PHYSICALLY separate drivers for front and back surround, like the Turtle Beach or the old Kinyo's I had.......
The "Pulsar" headset from TekNmotion was my third headset within one year. The first two were just cheap headsets from Wal-mart. After spending about $40 on two headsets, I finally realized that you "get what you payed for."
The Pulsar headset is, by far, one of the best headsets I've ever had the pleasure of using. The vibration feature sounds "hilarious" at first, but once you get into using the headset, it's actually really cool. Playing music through the headset alone feels as if you have a high-quality sound system in your room. Gaming with this beast is an even better experience as the vibration can really put you "into" the game.
The lights are fancy, but unless you're going to a LAN party, no one will really see them, including yourself. That's not a problem, however.
The size of the headset might scream "Ouch!" to some people who might think it "clamps" to your head, but the entire top of the headset is a thick padding, along with the sides around where they headset touches your ears. Even though the headset is a tad larger than your normal headset, it feels incredibly light on your head while still having that "expensive" weighty feeling to it.
The detachable microphone is a nifty idea (even though I just keep in the headset) that could allow you to plug the mic into a normal jack if you really wanted to. Another small, but helpful feature is the marks on each side of the headset where it "extends" in length. There's 12 notches on each side noting how "far" out the headset is extended. This helps in keeping the headset sides aligned correctly and can make adjusting the headset incredibly easy.
There's also the option to use your standard jacks rather than USB (though you won't be getting vibration from the standard jacks unless you use the battery pack), which may be nice for some.
Overall, the headset works great and both the microphone and speaker quality is great. If you're looking for a good, professional-style headset for gaming or want a really nice music headset (for your computer), then this is definitely the way to go.

Quick tidbit: My first headset had the microphone die off after a few months, but I called up TekNmotion (the number is on their website), went straight to an actual human and got everything fixed up right. In fact, they sent me a new mic to test it and within a few days it had arrived. The new mic didn't fix it, so I called them up again, got my RMA# immediately, sent it back, and got a brand new headset for free. The headset itself comes with a 1-year warranty, though I'm sure it should last longer as my new headset is and has been working fine!......
First of all, I would like to highly praise this product. Overall, I find it to have incredible speakers which are also very comfortable. The vibration makes the bass sound fabulous when listening to music. Despite this, I hate their mic. It has broken on me three times and is a major annoyance to have a new one shipped in. Even though it is free to have it shipped in, it is annoying that it breaks sooo easily. I don't even know what I did. I never banged it up or anything, it just stopped working. Overall, I like this product.......
Works just fine with Windows Home Premium 64 bit.
I tried the USB first and they sounded awesome. The vibrations were neat (not over bearing) and made the bass sound VERY full and rich.
The lights are worthless to me because I can't see them LOL, but that's not a big deal. If you like that sort of thing, then go for it.
I then tried the standard jacks and they worked perfectly as well except no rumble but thats ok, they still sound VERY nice without the OVER THE TOP deep bass.
I didn't try the battery pack yet (and probably won't)
I plugged in the microphone and launched Ventrillo. I chose the new heaphones in the Ventrillo SetUP menu, did a test, and they work perfectly for gaming (Left4Dead, WoW) and Ventrillo.......
The TekNmotion Pulsar SX PC Gaming Headphone clearly stands out with its led lights that beat and change with the level of bass in the music. The louder the music, the more the led lights react.
Sound quality was acceptable but I wasnt able to experience the 7.1 sorround sound functionality as advertised. There is also a selectable vibration function which is also synchronized with the sound.
Setup was fast and you can use this product with a PC or with portable music players with the standard 3.5mm audio jack.
The only comment I had was the HUGE size of this thing. Surely the LED lights account for the size of the ear cups but I think that things could still be miniturized.......
