Final Thoughts

Price

The TteSports Shock 3D PC gaming headset is available from Ttbuy in the US for $79.99. This is undoubtedly a competitive price and puts it alongside the Shogun Bros Ensense, Ozone Blast, Asus Orion, to name but a few, although I’d personally still pick the Shock 3D over any of them at this price range.

Overview

TteSports have done it again, creating another headset that won’t make your wallet run in fear, but that will deliver more performance than you would expect within this price range. TteSports have always been an industry leader when it comes to offering impressive price vs performance ratios and the Shock 3D is certainly no exception to that.

Powerful drivers, with a clear and punchy sound are always a welcome feature on a gaming headset, but despite its gaming aspirations, the Shock 3D is just as versatile for movies and music, making it a great all-round performer. This is obviously a good thing, because we don’t all just play games on our computers 24 hours a day. The addition of a good quality microphone is nice too, as it means the Shock 3D is as adept at in-game chat as it is for making those important Skype calls.

The headset is a little hard fitting at first, but the durable memory foam on the headband, as well as the padding on the ear cups will take time to wear in a little; so don’t be disheartened if it feels a little uncomfortable at first. This headset was certainly built to last, from the durable foam to the reinforced metal headband extenders, it all feels very well put together. As an added bonus, the headset also looks great, the only minor gripe being the cheap looking plastic on the volume wheel.

Pros

Durable build quality
Powerful drivers
On-headset controls
Virtual surround and EQ modes
Fold-up auto-muting microphone
Cool looking design
Good price vs performance

Cons

No separate volume control for chat audio
Volume dial plastics could be improved

“The TteSports Shock 3D 7.1 is a powerful and versatile headset with a competitive price tag, it’s not perfect, but it still manages to tick all the right boxes and it’s easily one of the best performing mid-budget headsets we’ve tested.”
