The Speed-Link Medusa 5.1 Pro Gamer Edition is a very solid headset. The quality of the headset, its weight and the great sound quality make it a creepy joy when playing scary games like Doom 3, Quake 4, FEAR or Condemned. Only the slight hiss and somewhat flimsy remote dampen the joy a little bit. While the price tag may appear very big at first glance, this headset is quite simply worth it. I know all to well, how it is to carry such a headset around to a LAN party. Having a bag to put everything into is perfect. The headset pads feel incredibly comfortable on the skin and do not irritate at all, even after long gaming sessions. That way you can concentrate on that Counterstrike tournament at the LAN party instead of having to scratch the area around your ears all the time. If you are in on the lookout for a 5.1 headset, make sure to check out the Speed-Link Medusa 5.1 series, you won't be disappointed.
