Overall and FV

The Vengeance 1500 headset is priced at $99. Some might see that as a bit expensive for a pair of headphones. But, if you're willing to spend 3x or more on a video card so you can have the best video experience while gaming, why wouldn't you spend $99 to get the best audio experience as well?

My biggest issue with the headset is that it can get a bit stuffy in the ear cups after an extended use. The sound, and mic are excellent. I found myself looking around when certain sound effects went off which is a testament to the quality of the surround sound. The only other issues I had with the headset were that it was corded, and it is a bit bulkier than what I was used to. The bulkiness is more of a personal thing, as my previous headset was a communication headset and was much smaller. And, if corded is big deal to you, you'll likely be looking at moving up to the wireless Vengeance 2000 instead. We are happy to give the recommended tag to the Vengeance 1500 gaming headset.
