Victrix Pro AF Universal Wired Gaming Headset with Active Noise Cancellation

Bought these back for Christmas as a gift with my girlfriend for myself. Extremely disappointed to have them fall apart within a 9 months of use, not even a full year. The cuffs that are covered in leather has had the material inside of it deteriorate with time and has now fallen apart. Going to contact customer service and see if there is anything they can do. Will update this review with the results.UPDATE:I contacted support and they promptly replied right after the weekend. They asked for a proof of purchase and listened to the issues I was having. They sent a brand new pair of ear pads in the mail and they arrived today. Very pleased with the quality of customer service they have. Happy that the company supports their customers and stand behind their product.

I have tested, owned, and currently use several different headsets models from many companies (Microsoft, Sony, Astro, SteelSeries, Sennheiser, and Beyerdynamic to name a few). I love to compare them all and I hope to one day find the perfect headset to use on all devices. All have their pro’s and con’s. This model is no exception to both. Does this headset have the best sound, microphone, fit and feel? I wish I could answer with a simple yes or no. The truth is more complicated because everyone is different.Sound:It’s actually very good without Active Noice Cancellation (ANC) activated. It becomes just good with ANC turned on. Personally, I find the sound compression to be weird and things sound different than I am used to. Not to say this is bad, just different. That being said, the ANC is such a welcome in a active household! Similar to being on a plane. I like to be able to make out what I am listening to with some distortion, than to have no distortion and not understand the sound. If my house is always quiet, I would pick a different headset that has better sound quality for this price range. Now, if my house is aways noisy or can be at random times, I want this headset on at all times! What has better sound? Beyerdynamic, Sennheiser, and SteelSeries.Active Noise Cancellation:This is my first gaming headset to feature ANC. I have seen a few in the past, but I have not heard great things. Comparing this product to non-gaming headsets with ANC, other companies like Sony and Bose seem to have much better sound isolation. Of course, if you want utilize standard game chat, you most likely will need a gaming headset. This puts this product in a unique category.Microphone:It’s very good. With probably the best of all benefits. Easy to position, holds position well, others can hear me clearly, has mic monitoring, and can be placed out of the way while still being attached when not needed. What has a better microphone? Beyerdynamic and Sennheiser. However, Sennheiser’s mic does not hold its position well. Personally, I think the mic quality is equal to SteelSeries.Fit and feel:Awesome. This is a very comfortable headset if your ears fit in it and you can ignore the heavy inline controller. To me the comfort fits between Beyerdynanic and Sennheiser. If you need more ear space, you will be happier with a different company. Also, if you like to move around between games without taking off your headset, you will have to get used to the very large and heavy inline controller.Inline controller:Very nice. Designed to be easy to adjust sound settings, microphone, and lighting while being completely optional! The headset works great without being forced to turn the inline controller on. It also lasts a very acceptable 20 hours or so with two AA batteries.Other observations:The headset and accessories look great and feel very top shelve. However, when my gaming session is done, I do find myself swimming in cables!Final comments:I love this headset and I find myself using it all the time.

手に取った第一印象は「重いなぁ」しかしヘッドバンドやスライドアームなど強度が必要なパーツは金属製でかっちりした作りで壊れにくそう、耐久力を得るにはやむ無しな重量か。ふかふかイヤーカップのおかげか装着しての重量感は気にした程ではなく問題無しと判断。ウリのANCの印象は「おぉ！すげぇ！」真横で扇風機の全力運転もほとんど遮るキャンセルぶり、イヤーカップの密閉力と相まって没入ハンパねぇって感じ。こういった没入重視のヘッドセットだとボイチャで自分の話した声すらカットされて話しずらくなりますが（少なくとも私は）それを解消するべくマイクモニターも搭載されていて自分の声もバッチリ聞こえて話しやすく快適なボイチャを楽しめます。因みにその際起こりがちなミックストークも発生しなかったのでより快適。イコライザーを細かく調整するといった機能はありませんが音質を変えられるオーディオモードが二種類あり、どちらかを選択して使う事になります。まとめ。ヘッドセット単体でこれだけの機能と性能の商品を私は他では知りません。最初に重いといいましたがあらゆる機能をイヤーカップに詰め込んだワイヤレスからすればかなり軽く、コントロールとバッテリーを外部にしてあるのも一役かってると思われます。あれこれガチャガチャはいらない、ヘッドセットだけで満足したいって方にはおすすめです、値段は高めですがその価値はあると思います。

I have had this headset for over half a year now, and I'm sorry to report it's hot trash. It comes in nice packaging, with a binder that rivals those that new car dealerships show you to showcase new cars' features, but all of those promises quickly prove to be bells and whistles that are rusted out from the inside. First, the company raves about this special "ANC" surround sound technology, but if you turn it on, all kinds of background noise is amplified, making it sound like you're in a wind tunnel, or in the cockpit of a helicopter. The headset is advertised as being designed by aircraft engineers and using special materials to feel lightweight, but it's noticeably heavier than any other headset I've previously owned. They brag about the vents for your ears, but this headset traps heat and moisture worse than any I've ever experienced, and if you open the vent, it shuts off the main sound unit, nullifying basic things like the mute button. Speaking of that unit, it requires batteries, which is terribly inconvenient, it hangs precariously shortly from the short headphone wires, which constantly results in it being jostled if you move your headset, and any small contact with that unit causes it to reset. Also, the leather in the headset cups has already worn from regular wear & tear. I really expected so much more at such a high price tag and with so many claims about being specially designed for pro gamers.

Comfy headset with a lot of cool features. Had some issues with the splitter when plugging it into my pc but figured it out. Should almost come with chargeable batteries though as the headset seems to run though them pretty fast.
