It all performs exactly as you’d hope, with a minimum of fuss. A small, tidy, and well-made little box houses buttons for volume, switching through the lighting, and a couple for muting both the mic and the cans. You can easily turn the lights off via the smart in-line controls. Your friends will be able to hear your unadulterated wisdom (or Mountain Dew-enhanced belches) with no problem, and the flexible mic arm stays where you put it. Luckily, it’s a lot less bright than the Spellond’s and can quite easily be turned off, so it doesn’t run the risk of shining off your monitor’s screen, but it still remains a curious decision. Barring that, the noise-isolating mic itself is clear and comprehensively standard. That does bring us to the Armor’s mild faux pas, which is that, like the Spellond before it, Sades have decided to put a light on the end of the microphone arm. If you select blue, then everything glows very nicely in the same shade, and I quite liked that. I very often don’t like RGB stuff on headsets – they’re not for your benefit, so why have them at all? – but I found myself quite enjoying the Armor’s version. That said, they’re very much in line with other headsets in this price bracket, and the lighter build should give them much more longevity on top of your head.īesides the comfortable build, each earcup features a glowing RGB ring, capable of spinning rainbow effects, or a batch of solid colours instead.

The headband and ear cushion’s vinyl padding absolutely do the job, but they’re not the most luxurious example of either. It does feel a little cheap, but then at less than £50 this is a more wallet-friendly set.
