The mid range, at default settings was lower than expected, but the EQ can set things right. You'll want to raise the trebles, mids and bass for average movie/game listening. Once this is done, you'll really enjoy the sound from the Arctic Cooling P531 Headphones. It can be a little enclosed at times, but it's pretty much always spacial sounding without being hollow. There are issues with the Arctic Cooling P531 Headphones; they are not glasses friendly and the blinking blue light to be precise. But the plus points certainly out weigh these issues. Great sound, a very versatile positioning microphone, surround sound that sounds technically correct position wise, strong bass without distortion, USB plug'n'play and included easy to use software.
