Pros:

  • Excellent audio quality.
  • Floating headband design is incredibly comfortable.
  • Great build quality.
  • Compatible with almost any device.

Cons:

  • Only one connectivity option.
  • Non-detachable microphone.
  • Poor microphone quality.
  • No microphone monitoring.

KitGuru says: With a lacklustre non-detachable microphone, no microphone monitoring and very limited connectivity we find it hard to recommend over the ASUS TUF H3 Wireless that is only £15 more. However, despite its shortcomings we can't deny the ASUS TUF H1 offers good audio quality and it is comfortable.

KitGuru Games: DLSS 5 misses the point

It would be hard to argue that NVIDIA’s DLSS technologies haven’t been a net positive to the PC space, with the machine-learning based upscaler successfully translating lower resolution inputs into a final image which is perceivably sharper while hogging fewer resources. Though somewhat more contentious, the next evolution of DLSS came in the form of Frame Generation, using ML in order to generate additional frames for high-refresh rate gaming. Both techniques can have their issues, but generally speaking they’ve allowed for more people to experience higher-end titles at increased frame rates. DLSS 5, however, takes a sharp pivot, with a very different end goal in mind than the performance-boosting versions that came before.
