Thermaltake is no stranger to manufacturing top quality gaming peripherals, so it is with much anticipation that I am reviewing their Thermaltake Tt eSports Cronos RGB gaming headset today. A big thank you goes out to Basco HK for providing us with this sample testing unit.
With manufacturers pumping out all sorts of gaming headsets, it goes down to the finer details which will decide to the gamers whether a headset will be a hit or a miss. In the Cronos RGB, Thermaltake has opted to use a more minimalistic approach; a simple headband and reduced sized earcups. But just how good is it?
