Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- SmartSwitch lets you instantly toggle between 2.4GHz and Bluetooth without disconnecting either source.
- At just 250 grams with breathable memory foam cushions, it remains comfortable during multi-hour gaming sessions.

- Detachable boom mic converts it from a gaming headset to a sleek portable headphone in seconds.
- Includes both USB-C dongle and USB-A adapter, covering virtually all PC and console connections.
👎 Cons
- No active noise cancellation, so ambient sound bleeds through in noisy environments.
- The TriForce 40mm drivers lack the bass punch of larger 50mm drivers found in premium gaming headsets.
- 2.4GHz dongle is USB-C only — the included USB-A adapter adds bulk when used on older PCs.
- No companion app EQ customization available for this model, limiting sound profile adjustments.
- The Quartz Pink color option may show dirt and wear more visibly than darker finishes.
