Not so long ago, you wouldn’t have to really strain your ears to hear the difference between $60 and $180 headsets. Maybe it’s the combination of construction materials, but it seems to get toasty quite quickly with these on. However, it does get warm in those earcups over time, despite the fabric finish. Noticeably lighter than the Nova 7s, in fact. The earcup cushions have a slightly less plush grade of memory foam within them, but we found these pretty comfortable over long sessions primarily because they’re so light.


It’s a simple and functional array of lightweight plastics and grey fabric, but it’s wisely avoided the ‘gamer’ look in favour of something more neutral. Aesthetically, they’re definitely not able to capture that same luxurious, audiophile-style look that the Nova Pros and Nova 7s summon, but they’re certainly on par with the Corsair HS60s.
