Plantronics ships the GameCom Commander in a plain all-grey box that features no product information whatsoever.

Lifting the box's top section reveals the GameCom Commander's carry case. Plantronics sinks the case into a foam-padded base in similar fashion to how a precious artefact is displayed in a museum.

The main cable is 2 metres long, without the coiled section extended. A USB adapter is used to provide Dolby 7.1 surround sound, while still maintaining the headset's 3.5mm jack capabilities.

A separate, 90cm-long 3.5mm jack cable provides a connection that gives the GameCom Commander smartphone and internet tablet capabilities.

Such is the relative complexity of figuring out what goes where with the GameCom Commander's bundle, Plantronics includes an illustrated guide. The helpful guide outlines the types of devices that work with the specific connections. It also shows how the Dolby 7.1 surround sound mode is activated.

The usage poster folds down into an easy-to-handle size. An additional two warranty information leaflets form the rest of the GameCom Commander's bundle.
