Overall and Final Verdict
The HS-260 is a comfortable, well-built product that produces clear sound and a thumping bass and that alone sums up everything a gamer really desires in a headset. The choice to go with a larger 50mm driver as opposed to the industry mainstay of 40mm is proof that Func decided to not play it safe and march just another average product to market. The removable microphone might seem like a gimmick following other recent releases but Func to even do something above the norm here with the ability to plug the microphone and connection cord into either side of the headphones. Couple this with the choice of two different ear padding materials out of the box and you have the most customizable headset perhaps ever found at this price point.
The HS-260 isn’t precisely perfect though. I worry about the durability of the adjustable hinges with prolonged use at full extension because of its locking design. The microphone could also be improved as it takes a bit of coaxing to get it in a comfortable position at first. These are both flaws that I feel could be fixed with minimal effort and stronger materials and neither affect the performance of the device.
Again, much like with the KB-460 I feel that I am almost nitpicking at the few flaws I find with the HS-260 as a whole. The performance of the headset puts it on the higher end of the scale already but it is the sheer customizability that the 260 has is what puts it over the top. Looking forward I hope Func can keep this momentum and continue to bring us more quality peripherals in the future.
