The sound quality sounds great when listening to music or playing games in surround sound.. but does terrible with voices in surround sound, so if you want to play a game and hear which direction a noise is in AND talk to your friends, again you're SOL.
The voice quality is shockingly bad, my friends all but demanded me to use my built in microphone rather than the one that "sounded like you are talking through a cup a couple yards away".
The headset is also fairly heavy making it annoying to wear for long periods of time, but is very cushioned which is nice in the short term. Finally, the thing is COVERED in lights, which can't be turned off short of unplugging it. So if you have a dedicated gaming setup near your bed, either get used to the light or unplug it every night and slowly damage your USB port...

I'm still giving this 4 stars because it's my favourite gaming headset of all time. Super comfortable for larger heads, the coolest headset aesthetics I've ever seen, and (most importantly) the biggest audio advantage I've ever had in gaming with the 3d soundscape (3d headtracking) technology. You can truly pinpoint where your enemies are when gaming unlike anything else (except perhaps true surround sound). Audio quality is nothing special, but I use this for gaming.
I won't be buying a third Gallea 500, however. Going with the HyperX Cloud S Orbit which also has 3d head tracking. Hopefully I'll get luckier with the reliability on that one, because the reliability of the Gallea 500 is truly trash. Such a shame.
