Thermaltake supply the Shock One in an attractively designed box which uses Tt eSPORTS trademark red and black colour scheme. The front of the box features a window which wraps around to the side of the box. This lets you see half of the headset inside the box. The other half of the front of the box is occupied with a picture of the headset alongside a series of badges which elude to some of the features of the headset.
Turning the box over reveals a detailed breakdown of the headset's features and specification. They are repeated in a series of different languages. There is also an image of the software that is included with the headset.
The included bundle consists of a quick start guide, software CD, a pair of spare ear pads and a bag to carry the headset in. Although this bag isn't going to provide the same level of protection as those included with other headsets like the Cyber Snipa Championship, it should prevent it from being scratched during transit.
Very nice looking headset, good design.
Are there any products these guys dont make now !?
Its a tough market this, especially with microsoft and steelseries with so many headsets out
The appearance is slightly more ‘classic’ than others I have seen. Good review. thanks
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 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.
