1. What is the quality of the mic and speaker, compare to a regular USB headset? 2. Does the mouse has webpage forward/backward buttons?

Speaker is very good, mic is also good, I have not found the back forward buttons. Mouse responsiveness is fair, but not satisfactory. Power last about 6 hours

Yes it does and a mic, which is supper nice! I have really liked this laptop so far. The only thing that I don`t like about it is that its uses windows 8 which is not a big deal I just haven`t used it before so I am still trying to get use to it. Good luck!

The forward button is the regular button you use to open pages, but if you mean a button you press to go forwarded after hitting the back button without hitting the forward link again with your pointer, then no, I do not think it does. I'm going off memory here, so I could be wrong. It is not a bad mouse and you'll find, unless they are making better compact bluetooth mouses now, that most don't even have a back button, so it is kind of a luxury for the price point.

There is an XLR version (connect to computer via audio interface), and a USB version, connect directly to the computer. Based on how you are going to use it, I highly recommend the XLR version. Pick up a Focusrite Scarlet 2i2, a good mike cable and mic stand all for around $300, (new)-- you'll be very happy with the results!

Hi Todd, I only use the headset for Teamspeak (Ventrilo, Skype, etc). I then have the rest of the audio coming through my computer speakers. If I am running all audio through a headset, I switch to my wireless surround sound headset because the sound quality is so much better. The sound quality on the G330 is just ok. I purchased it because the g330 is very breathable and doesn't leave a line in my hair like traditional headsets. You can do multiple hour sessions, but during extended periods your ears may get a little sore where the plastic rests on them. The mic on this unit is very good and I never gets complaints regards of the software I am using it with. This is in my opinion the best wrap around headset out there. If that is what you are looking for you will like it. Just don't expect premium sound quality.

There is a separate program that runs the mic and headset software and you can edit everything in there. It has a test mic button, which as a side note i suggest you use if you put your computer in sleep mode because the right ear wont work and testing the mic loudly will make it work again.

You didn't mention if you're going to simply be listening or doing recording/editing, so I'll give you a general answer. The built-in speakers aren't great, but you if you're doing something like editing tracks, you should be using monitors or a headset anyway. I've used both a bluetooth headset and a gaming headset with USB connector and have noticed a couple of things. The Bluetooth sounds spectacular. The USB has a faint hiss as soon as you plug it in, though not as noticeable in the USB 3, and definitely better than the on-board speakers. I think the hiss is just general noise from the electrical-from not having perfect shielding on the internal wires-but that's a bit much to ask for any laptop. I was a music major and studied audio engineering in college, so I get where you're coming from. I wasn't that impressed with this thing at first, but it's shown me what it can do and now I'm impressed and honestly really fond of it. You won't want to master anything on this, but it's going to be insanely portable and can handle a lot, considering the price point.

My friends seem to have no problem with my mic. If you'd heard some of their headset mics you'd probably be quite satisfied with it too. For example, the Alienware headset doesn't have any noise cancellation and picks up a great amount of background noise, and the Razer Kraken Pro has great sound quality but a poor quality mic. Those 2 are the main ones everyone i've seen is buying, I have seen a great many other mics and this one so far beats them all.=)In my opinion, if you have the black shark's mic the correct distance away from your mouth, its sound quality is unbeatable next to a singing mic or something...

Yes I use it for my desktop and it works really well. The mic is crystal clear. Definitely worth the price. Has two jacks btw, 1 for headphone and 1 for mic

The physical headset itself uses 2 speakers like a regular stereo headset. However, installing the included driver/software sets up a virtual surround-sound device on your PC. So when the device is connected, both games and the Windows sound system see it as a 7.1 audio device. The headphones are a pretty good build quality, so I'd recommend them anyway, and the surround sound is fairly nice. It's at least on par with most other "virtual surround" hardware/software I've used. My recommendation is to go on youtube and play any some of the virtual surround clips while wearing whatever headphones you already have. If the surround effect impresses you, then you'll like the Vengence Headset. If it leaves you wanting, then you are likely to be disappointed in most surround sound headphones. Even legit surround headphones with multiple speakers in each earpiece do are not as good as a traditional multi-speaker room setup. Alternatively, if you like the virtual surround and already have a quality set of headphones, you can purchase the "Razer Surround" application which turns regular headphones into a virtual surround pair. You can check it out and get a demo here: https://www.razerzone.com/surround#product_overview

1. It has a built-in Mic, Speaker, and Camera. I use it for Skype all the time.2. The dock is sold separately. I use a cheap wireless Logitech keyboard with a receiver that plugs into the USB port.

I didn't get the keyboard. I got the mouse, the mouse is worth the cost, but it also isn't a hundred bucks... I can''t speak for the keyboard. I am currently using the steelseries gaming keyboard, with the dedicated gaming zone on the left. It is pretty nice. It took some getting used to. Mostly because there are duplicates of many of the keys and everything is kind of jammed together. I like it now though.

The Razer Kraken works and this one should soon with a patch. It currently does not export sound to the headset but the mic works fine. It works awesome with a PC tho and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a quality headset. Caution it is wired and a bit short for my TV -> couch. The module is also 1/2 down the cord and pulls it down.Overall a great head set and no problems after 2 years.Reference: http://community.us.playstation.com/t5/PlayStation-Peripherals-Support/7-1-Razer-Megalodon-headset-anyone-gotten-anything-but-the-mic/td-p/42581223 The Razer Kraken works and this one should soon with a patch.

yes the mics are very good! I have had mine for half a year so far, no loss in quality. but keep the small one in a memorable place.p.s it would be a good idea to SEW the ear padding down, otherwise it will come off within 2 weeks. (that is literally the only problem, if you sew it early, you will never have to worry about the padding)better than the expensive turtle beach or other brands that I've tried, that's for sure!

I think its comparable but to be honest its not a good mic. I think it's either refurbished or a cheap fake. People complained about squealing when set anywhere above 4--5 using it below those settings makes it a useless purchase. I'm shopping for a replacement.

The sound quality is pretty decent for a headset mic and is better than most mics people use online. It does not have built in noise cancellation as far as I know, but most apps and games you would use it with have some form of noisegate to account for it. It is a dynamic microphone, so it doesn't pick up a crazy amount of noise by default.
