Okay to start the box is not the usual boring brown boxes our rig's arrived in, this more resembles opening a luxury item. Upon lifting the lid, you are presented with a stunning headset a dongle and box of accessories (back to them in a bit).
So, as we all do headphones straight on head to check comfort, 1st impressions they are for a medium to larger head. I let my gf try them on and pretty much just fell off her head, so not suitable for kids or people with the smaller heads. A bit of over bending got them tighter on myself.
Back to the leads sadly they did not include the premium looking leads as pictured just the generic cheapo black leads. (as seen below)
So now we have them on the head lets adjust mic position and yes, it is the top-quality metal style boom that just holds it position and a quick flick out of the way for a drink and back holding the mint position you had chosen.
Right now, to powering up connects to windows no issue, one slight niggle is the headset appear as USB speakers which means Dolby Access for headphones does not see them, so if you prefer a 3rd party spatial sound package beware!
Powered up and sound epic! quick mic test and is amazingly super clear! trying to adjust the volume on the fly I accidently discovered how to turn on the 7.1 onboard processor, you tap the power button for on and off (the instructions do not cover this anywhere!) And to power off and on you hold the power button, that is explained.
Tested with some music and gameplay…
