I begrudgingly got this as a replacement for my first remote which over time has gotten worse and worse to the point where it can't understand anything I say and constantly detects phantom taps which have made it useless.
The replacement remote is working fine but the price is still way too much for a thin remote that can't do anything that the included controller or the Android TV remote app can do. But if you just want to chill on the couch and not move anything but a thumb it will do.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The google home is great for keeping up with the news if you don't have cable, or listening to music if you have a premium account with a supported service. If you don't fall into either category though then you can probably do everything else with your phone. If you have a G Suite Google account then you can do even less with the Google Home because it won't be able to scan your email for flight and package info, and it won't be able to read your calendar appointments.Also, it has a hard time figuring out what to do depending on how you word a question. And for some reason a device named GOOGLE can't automatically fall back to a simple web search when it otherwise doesn't know an answer. On the plus side it will continuously get updates that may fix all these problems over time. If you're an early adapter or getting a gift for one then this is a fun gadget, but wait a year if you want a fully baked product.

I had these for about a week before returning them for the G633 headset from the same company. I just didn't like the muffled sound of the earphones. Sound was not crisp and was very flat. Also the max volume was really low. I did like that it was just a regular PC headset with a USB sound card with pretty good 5.1 surround sound emulation. The information page on the official website does not mention it but this product does use Dolby tech for the 5.1 virtual surround sound.

The Xbox One controller was already great and now it's even better. It's almost the same as it used to be with a few cosmetic differences at the top around the Xbox logo button and a slight texture to the plastic on the back but now it also has Bluetooth. I no longer have to use a wireless adapter with my Surface Pro 3 or my gaming desktop and it also works with my Android phone, tablet, and TV. I don't even have an Xbox One!

After buying these headphones, and reading some of the remarks to questions. I only have one question. How loud are they when using the USB adapter / amplifier? And if they are loud what driver version are you using?

They were not loud for me and I was using the latest Logitech gaming software (August 2016)

Does it have surround sound.

Yes. The product web site doesn't list it but this product uses Dolby tech to virtualize 5.1 surround sound.when using the included USB sound card (DAC) and the Logitech gaming software.
