Packaging
At first glance the Cronos’ box tells you everything you’d want to know about the product. We are given a view of the headset, itself, in what has become the traditional Thermaltake gloss as well as a few specific highlights of features. A few things to note here are the fact that the Cronos comes ready for PC or mobile device use and all cabling to it is removable and interchangeable.
Flipping the box over, there is a bunch of detailed information here for a consumer’s perusal. A full layout of the headset and all its cabling are the first things that catch the eye seeing as how it is all labeled and references all the features. The full specs come after that and finally a closer inspection section is available to give you a first look at the features about the Cronos that really matter. This form of loading the packaging with so much information before we even get hands-on with the product is something I like and something I’ve noticed a lot with Tt eSPORTS branded gear.
Lauding over the box will only get you so many points and when we finally open it what’s inside? First off we find the one year warranty information as well as a large felt bag with a drawstring meant to serve as the Cronos’ carrying case. These cases are included with all Tt eSPORTS products and enforce the portability aspect of the brand.
The next things we pull out are the connector cables. As these are detachable you actually have a choice about which one you use depending on what platform you may want to use the headset with. Included is an inline cable meant for mobile devices such as tablets or ever a cellphone as well as the traditional PC cable we know and love. The PC cable includes the microphone and volume control box we all are used to and a USB connection to run the glowing LEDs present in the ear cuffs.
Finally we can get to what we came here for, the Cronos. The headset is folded away and sealed in plastic when we are greeted to it for the first time and in this configuration you can see why, at first glance, the packaging felt a little thin. The ear pieces actually rotate perpendicular to the headband letting the whole unit fold into a very low profile package for storage and transport.
