Review Score:
We have looked at a couple of products from Thermaltake’s eSPORTS division over the past year including the impressive MEKA mechanical gaming keyboard and the great value Black Gaming mouse. So we are excited to see what they can deliver with their latest gaming headset.
Today we are going to look at the Thermaltake Tt eSPORTS Shock One gaming headset which boasts an impressive spec sheet. This includes virtual 5.1 DTS surround sound which promises better sound panning in game. At around £65, it is considerably more expensive than some virtual surround sound offerings like the Cyber Snipa Championship and Arctic P531 headsets, though, so we are hoping for a more impressive overall experience.

Where is the weight wrong (heavy)? in the middle of the headband or the ear pieces themselves?

Did I miss it, they’ve missed testing the mic quality in battle?

My cousin Dan’s kid spent over £100 on some Razer headset thing and the wiring kept coming out from the ear piece. The shop he bought it from swapped it twice, but it must have hurt them. They told him it was normal. If these things don’t last that long anyway, then why spend money on them? Surely a normal phone-type headset would work and cost £15? Also, most of the time when I’m round Dan’s place, the kids scream at each other anyway

I tried one of these in London and it was OK, but could be better for the money

I have owned this headset for a few months now and i can say that the sound quality is great, and so is the build quality. The problem with the headset being a little tight goes away after a few weeks of use and ends up being very comfortable. I bought these for $80 Australian which was quite cheap compared to the other headphones on offer.
If you are looking for a headset that performs well for a little cheaper the Gamescon 777 headset from plantronics are also very good for $65 Australian dollars.
