Overall we are fairly impressed with what the Tt eSPORTS Level 10M headset has to offer. It's clear that Thermaltake are trying to push the boundaries of headset design and create something completely unique, however we're not convinced that the aesthetics will be as universally loved as those of the original Level 10 case.
We are very impressed with the level of build quality that the Level 10 M headset has to offer as it's a step above anything else we've seen from Tt eSPORTS before. Sure, there are a few niggles here and there such as the tacky in-line control, however we can forgive these thanks to the generally impressive build quality.
The only slight downside of the decent build quality is the weight generated by the extensive use of aluminium in the design. While this is far from the least comfortable headset we've tested, it can't compete with the likes of the SteelSeries Siberia V2 in terms of comfort.
The acoustic performance of the headset is also impressive, considering it is a plain stereo model. The sound balance of the Level 10 M differs slightly from the norm, favouring an even balance rather than a bias towards the lower registers like most gaming headsets. This makes it slightly better suited to music playback, however we felt it didn't offer as much bass impact as some competing models.
Although the Thermaltake Level 10M isn't yet available to purchase, we expect that it will hit the market around the £100 mark. We feel that this is a little expensive, though, and would like to see the price falling over the few months following release.
Pros
- Innovative design.
- Stellar build quality.
- Decent acoustic performance.
Cons:
- Lack of sound panning.
- Heavy.
KitGuru says: An impressive headset that offers great build quality and decent acoustics.
