Roccat ELO X Stereo Gaming Headset Review

Are you looking for a new gaming headset that ticks all of the boxes, including the one that says “not too expensive”? Then it looks like Roccat has the answer for you with their new ELO X Stereo Gaming Headset. Affordable it may be, but lacking in features it is not. It comes with built-in controls, powerful drivers, and that iconic Roccat style that we’ve all come to know and love… but wait, there’s something different this time!

Roccat ELO X Stereo Gaming Headset

It’s no secret that Turtle Beach snapped up Roccat a while ago, and the best of each brand has been spreading from one brand to the other. Roccat is now Turtle Beach’s more PC focused division. With that, we’ve got their fantastic microphone tech, glasses friendly design, and higher quality drivers making their way to Roccat headsets. This is a very good thing, and I’m eager to put it to the test. I’m not short on choice either, as the headset will work on every major console, mobile device and PC, including next-gen consoles… Albeit, I can’t test those until next month.
