This headset features gaming-grade wireless range up to 40'. The 7.1-channel surround sound with advanced Dolby technology lets you hear opponents before they see you.

This headset has been a headache from day 1. I bought it having a long positive history with Logitech products, including their wireless mice and other wired headsets. However, this particular model of headset was absolutely terrible. Initially it would disconnect and then reconnect to the USB dongle every 2-5 minutes for no reason (battery was charged, the headset could even be plugged in). The eventual cause of this problem was determined to be the Logitech Gamer Software that is used to manage the headset and allow for custom key mappings of the keys on the side of the left ear-cup, as well as provide battery notifications when the battery was low.
Additionally, the headset would frequently not turn off when plugged in (if I wasn't using it), and so would cycle between charging during the brief 'off' period, turning on, completely discharging, turning back off, and then repeating the process.
Lastly, there were several problems with drivers and non-updateable firmware to fix problems with the headset not always even detecting the connection dongle when the headset is fully charged and the USB dongle plugged in.
All in all, the worst headset I've ever had across PC, XBox, and PS4. I will be sticking to Logitech's fantastic Mice and Keyboards and buying my headsets elsewhere.

Not Wireless/Gaming Compatible

Received this as a gift, and it works all right with most keyboards. However, if you have a gaming keyboard (ex. Logitech G-series gaming keyboard) or high-end wireless keyboard (again, Logitech), don't use this switch. With the G-Series keyboards, you lose the functionality of the LCD screen and G-Keys. With the high-end wireless (notably the "Logitech Unified" wireless accessories) you lose the entire keyboard. The Keyboard will work fine if you connect it to the Mouse port, and the Mouse to the Keyboard port, but then you lose swapping functionality. All in all, a decent device to have if you have the bare-bones basic keyboard/mouse setup, but anything else and you should probably opt for a manually swappable device (which, ironically, kind of defeats the purpose of wireless peripherals).
What's great about it: Ease of use, ease of setup
What's not so great: Compatibility. Those most likely to need/want it can find better.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Is this compatible with xbox 360 and an ipad?
XBox 360: no.
iPad: Likely not, as there isn't a way to reconfigure the headset to connect via bluetooth or wireless. If your iPad has a USB Port to plug the USB Dongle into, MAYBE. I was able to get the headset to work with my MacBook Pro, but I don't have an iPad so can't test definitively.

Hi, has anyone walked around with the headset into other rooms and if so, how was the sound?
I've been able to wander the full length of my house with the headset. There were some issues if I put a wall with plumbing between me and the usb dongle, but there was no noticeable drop in sound quality--I've even been able to use voice communication (Mumble, Ventrilo, Skype, Steam Voice, Battle.net Voice, etc.) while walking around my home with little negative effect.
