Overall and Final Verdict
My first impression upon handling the Cronos for the first time was that the headset felt light and, to a point, the connections at the swivel points feel thin especially for a key stress point. Also a few places on the headband and the microphone Thermaltake has chosen to use stickers instead of silk-screening which they had used in other places on the headset. While these stickers might have been an attempt at providing some glossy accents to the overall product it does leave the feeling of being just a tad cheap.
Outer design gripes aside, the Cronos does perform exactly how you would want a gaming headset to perform by picking up on some of the more subtle details and enhancing your overall gaming experience. The omnidirectional microphone is clear over both Skype and various voice chat programs and is adjustable enough to fit a range of heads and faces. The LEDs are a nice touch, I just wish it didn’t have to take up a USB port to use them but that is just one less set of batteries you have to worry about going out.
If you are in the market for a headset but don’t have a ton of money to spare it is certainly worth the look and if you find yourself switching from mobile to PC gaming a lot the cord options are certainly a plus. The connection issues with the detachable cords are non-existent in the Cronos. On the whole the Cronos is a solid mid-range design that is true to the Tt eSPORTS brand.
