A Closer Look
The headset comes hard-wired with a nice quality 3.5mm jack, making it out-of-the-box ready for use with PlayStation 4, tablets, smartphones, mp3 players and other similar devices. Or of course you can connect the 3.5mm connection to the included PC/360 amp, or the included Xbox One controller adaptor.
The headset is really nicely designed and features a funky looking headband with the Titanfall logo across the top.
There is a small amount of padding material on the inside of the headband, it doesn’t look much, but it’s nice and soft and provides plenty of grip to prevent the headset from sliding off of your head.
The sides of the headband feature a durable feeling extender, which can be adjusted quite small, making it ideal for a younger audience, but also extends long enough to fit even my own very large head.
The side of the headband, as well as the back of each driver is covered in some very cool graphics that are in keeping with the style seen in Titanfall, sure it’s only painted on symbols, but they really do make the headset look awesome.
The drivers feature a semi-open back design, with a small mesh section behind each ear cup.
The headband is set at an off-angle to the top of the drivers, so the ear cups sit at a slight slope on the side of your head, providing a more natural fit, while the headband slopes slightly toward the back of your head. I find this sloped “n” shape to be much more comfortable than headsets with the headband mounted in a straight over your head “n” shape.
Each ear cup can be rotated around to allow a good resting position when wearing the headset around your neck between games, I also find this makes it easier to clean and maintain the headsets ear pads. The foam is quite hard-wearing with a durable cloth covering, this may be uncomfortable at first, but it’s going to be long-lasting and will mould to your head a little better after extended use.
While mostly made of plastic, the headset still feels very durable and the matte finish looks and fells pretty good too. The plastic construction means the headset is lightweight, which should bring benefits after long gaming sessions.
The microphone plugs into the left ear cup and then rotates around to lock firmly in place.
Overall a great look headset and very tough build quality, so let’s plug it in and see how well it performs.
