Packaging and Overview

The HS-260’s packaging is indicative of the new Func styling. The front of the box offers us only a very simple logo and a sneak peek at the headset. It gets the point across and leaves you wanting more.

And more is exactly what you get as you flip open the front face to revel the 260 and its removable microphone locked away in the plastic cover. Included on the opposite side is Func’s mission statement, the technical specifications and a list of everything included inside.

Flipping over the box we get the complete picture of the HS-260 along with those ever popular feature bullets.

Cracking open the box we find everything included. On top of the headset we find the standard product manual, the HS-260’s detachable connector cable and a set of leather ear pads. The 260 comes with two sets of ear padding, leather and velour, for your own personal comfort.

The microphone is also a separate item as detachable microphones seem to be making a comeback in gaming headsets once again.

Finally we get to the headset and I must say the simplicity of the design is actually refreshing. Out of the box, the HS-260 comes with soft velour ear pads but as previously mentioned there is also an included set of leather ear pads to fit your personal comfort level. The ear padding is easily change in less than a minute and required no tools and no hassle.

The padding for the earphones is interchangeable between the velour and the included set of leather padding. Changing out these pads requires minimal time and effort so you can feel free to try both and decide which is right for you.

The top of the headband is a breathable leather pad to ease comfort on the top of your head during long play sessions. This padding, while less firm than some recent headsets I have reviewed is also a little bit more substantial then what you typically find in most headsets. The headbands adjustable parts slide along a lock track within the headband. This design allows the securing screws to be placed higher near the top of the headband rather than at the ears.

You might have noticed the lack of an inline controller on the connector cable. This is because the volume control is integrated on the actual headset unit. When in use the volume slide can be found just behind and below your left ear for on the fly adjustments. The microphone mute is similarly found on the detachable microphone unit.
