Look and Feel: Coming
fresh out of the well-made and simple box, this headset has some punch in the
looks field. This headset is very stylish and you cannot even tell that it is
in fact a gaming headset at all, who would even think a gaming headset would
actually look this good?
Most people sitting at home with their typical gaming headset wouldn’t consider bringing their headset out with how some of them look these days, more function over form often. The elegantly sturdy construction of this headset is definitely something anyone would be willing to take out on the streets, and have it serve as an “all in one” wonderfully comfortable high end headset/headphones.

Audio Quality: Depth,
clarity, and balance are the first words that come to mind when looking to
describe the quality of sound this headset produces, AND creates. Not only do
the speakers put out a great balance, the detachable boom mic provides a crisp
voice to your team, leaving absolutely no static and a complete lack of ambient
sound for the team to listen to. This headset is wonderful in environments
where sound is not only a tool, but also an asset to victory such as high-level
play in games such as Call of Duty, where the need to process location of
footsteps and gunfire is a key to victory.
On the other end of the spectrum, the simple plug and play
aspect of the standard 3.5mm headphone jack, to a cell phone or any music
player, gives that versatility that this headset has brought to the table being
the “jack of all trades” in audio. Even without using up the battery power when
using the headphone jack, the 50mm speakers still put out clear sounds,
including a nice bass depth that is well balanced with treble and mid ranges. Even
without the fantastic boom mic, there is still a built in mic for use with cell
phones typically, which also provides a nice clean output for fielding calls on
the go.
Overall, this headset would take the place of two separate
pieces in an audio arsenal, putting those up to dry. This acoustic masterpiece
works with PS4 and Xbox One, as well as simple compatibility with PC and Mac.
With three selectable EQ modes, there is really only one that is dramatically
better than the others, which is a small bass boost mode. This form and
function headset will be pushing the market in a new direction, forcing others to
rethink their designs and bring forward a new era of practical gaming headsets.
This gaming headset is a wonderful product, and would be a great recommendation
to any gamer out there
