Are these 7.1 surround sound?

The answer is sort of. Yes you can get decent positional audio from 1 driver (speaker) using very clever frequency manipulation and the best is Dolby Atmos by far. There are also headphones that take this concept to the next level and have multiple drivers but they can get pricey quickly even for entry level sets. Plus you need the Atmos license which is only $20 and if you buy it via the Windows store or Xbox then you can use it on any PC of Xbox you own of are logged into forever basically. You also get access to true dolby Atmos with the license which means if you have a receiver and the speakers you can game in the full glory of Atmos on Xbox & PC. Its fantastic and I honestly can't recommend going that route enough. I know this is a long answer but I wanted it to be clear what you're getting here. These headphones do a decent job of reproducing Atmos but imo after using both these and the Arctis Nova Pro X's (wired or wireless but wired is better and it's USB so no worries, it powers the DAC) I have to give arctis the edge. First they have better spatial sound. Second they have a DAC which is like a mini amplifier and they also have noise cancelling but more importantly if you buy the "Xbox variant" then it works on literally every platform... every platform. Its compatible with Sony's 3d audio which isn't as good as Atmos but it's good enough , especially with good headphones.

I have had the headset for little over a month, and the mic just falls, how do I fix this?

Bettter hope it's not after a year....or even close. They will tell you to buy another. Ohh it's 300$, too bad buy another. Oh it's a .50C part that broke your 300$ headset, too bad buy another. I'll never buy another product from this company. Absolute WORST customer experience I've had with consumer electronics. The problem is obviously on their end, as you see many others with the same yet they will blame the customer and tell them to go spend another small fortune

Can you use it while it’s charging ? Like plug and play basically unlimited battery?

Yes, but you'll probably have to buy a cable to make it work well. You can plug any old micro usb into it and charge while using it, but I found that the cable bumps into the shoulder and comes loose. I bought a long usb with a micro usb connector on a 90 degree angle which kept it from bumping shoulder, then just looped it up and over the ear cuff on that side to take off any stress on the connector. Worked great. Just wish the dang thing's problematic firmware wouldn't have bricked it (after 3 years of ownership).
