What we can tell you
An open-back gaming headset, which is an unusual combination: the open design is chosen for the sense of space it gives, at the cost of leaking sound to anyone else in the room. A detachable boom microphone, wired only, no cancellation, and none possible on an open-back design.
What the specifications favour
- An open-back design with a detachable boom microphone
- Wired, so there is no battery and no pairing
- The recorded price was under the list figure
What to check before you buy
- Open-back leaks sound both ways
- No noise cancellation is possible on this design
- Almost no specification is published
