This is a great set, I have the Digital model and I recommend it to everyone. I'm not an audiophile, however I'm impressed with the 5.1 sound actually being 5.1. And never again do I get interrupted by my wife when I'm playing and she calls me, I just click on the button to take the call (through bluetooth) that the Digital version has. The game sound is muted instantly and I can talk while gaming. When the call ends the game sound returns immediately. So unless you're both single and anti-social, this is a pretty big deal! No more having to decide to either stop playing or to ignore a ringing phone, I can do both! Having the Digital version also saved me from buying a 5.1 sound card, since it's included in the Digital version. And I never had any issues with the Roccat drivers/firmware, so all good on this side. The headset is the sturdiest I ever owned. I had a £50 Plantronics before that my 3 year old son easily snapped, and it's one of the main reasons why I ended up buying the Kave XTD. It also fell on the ground several times and it's still going strong. The big let down is definitely the microphone, this is pretty inexcusable of Roccat, and they should have re-released the Kave XTD because of this. However it's still useful enough to make calls, just don't go streaming on twitch with it or teamspeak with a lot of people talking at the same time because the microphone isn't very loud.
