Overall we are quite impressed with the Thermaltake Tt eSPORTs Shock One gaming headset as it offers a combination of good performance, attractive aesthetics and decent build quality.  We think that the virtual surround sound feature is one of the most important aspects of this headset as it really helps to improve the gaming and movie playback experiences, improving sound directionality quite considerably.

The use of a USB connector for the headset is necessary for the virtual surround sound but this does mean the headset cant be used with other devices like MP3 players and smartphones.  If you want an all round headset that can be used with a whole array of different devices, we would recommend that you consider something like the SteelSeries Siberia V2 instead.

For many gamers, the most important factor to consider when looking to buy a gaming headset is the price.  The Shock one can be yours for £60 at Scan.co.uk which puts it in the same league as the Siberia V2.  While it does feature virtual surround sound, we feel that the SteelSeries headset offers better general performance and much better comfort.  The Shock One still offers good value for money but we would like to see it reaching a price point of £50 before we would recommend it hands down over the competition.

Pros:

• Attractive Design
• Virtual Surround Sound
• Software Utility
• Good Build Quality
• Plentiful Bundle

Cons:

• A little pricey

KitGuru says: A good option for those who want a gaming headset featuring virtual surround sound.
