Packaging

The Hephaestus v2’s packaging follows the same general theme of the Gamdias keyboard I covered. Up on the top is a white stripe and in that is the Gamdias logo as well as the product name. Then below that they use a black background and have a photo of the headset on the cover. To the left are four of the headsets key features highlighted with short descriptions. I like that they did slip in a specification listing on the side of the box, not enough companies include this. Then the back doesn’t really have too much going on, there is another feature list but this time, it is repeated in eight different languages and that takes up basically the entire back of the box.

Inside the headset sits in a thin plastic tray formed to the shape f the headset to keep it from moving around. They didn’t use any twist ties to keep the headset in place but it didn’t move around at all. The cord comes wrapped up in a plastic bag and is tapped around the side and tucked into the back of the tray. For documentation, you get a tiny quick installation guide.
