Customer Reviews
Best comfort I've experienced
I've worn this headset for 6+ hour gaming sessions and never felt discomfort. The audio clarity for FPS games is outstanding, especially footsteps and directional cues.
Great mic, average bass
The microphone quality is superb, my teammates always compliment my clarity. The only downside is the bass isn't as punchy as I'd like for music.
Solid value pick
For the price, this headset punches above its weight. Comfortable, light, and the THX Spatial Audio really helps with competitive gaming.
Perfect for long streams
I stream for hours and this headset stays comfortable throughout. The detachable mic is a nice touch when I don't need it.
