The Thermaltake Argent H5 RGB Wireless has a retail price of £142.99. We can't find any stock in the United Kingdom just yet.

Pros:

• Good overall build quality
• Sleek, matt black design
• Foldable for portability 
• Can be used in wired and wireless mode
• RGB is vivid and looks good

Cons:

• Overall audio quality isn’t the best
• DTS and EQ settings aren’t huge improvements 
• Microphone quality is very disappointing for the price
• Headset was too big for my head causing ear pain
• 60-second auto sleep timer can’t be turned off

KitGuru says: Overall this headset was disappointing, too big, audio quality was lacking and the microphone was borderline unusable (but probably fine for the odd zoom call if you have to use it). Unfortunately I can't recommend this headset from Thermaltake.
