Today we are going to look at the latest product from Thermaltake's sub-brand, Tt eSPORTS, the Shock gaming headset. This model is designed specifically with PC gamers in mind although the 3.5 mm interface means it's compatible with most devices. It is designed for those who find the Shock One a little expensive and are looking for a cheaper alternative which doesn't boast such a wealth of features.
We have been very impressed with the products we've seen from Tt eSPORTS in the past, especially in terms of value for money. The gaming headset market has become increasingly competitive over the past few years with the introduction of a large number of brands to the market. We are interested to see how the Shock compares to other headsets on the market.

These sound great, but they fall apart – I know reviewers dont get much time with them, but ive had two pairs.
Thermaltake build quality is always dire. they need to sort it out.
very uncomfortable – looks great and sound good, but my friend has a pair and he can’t wear them for more than 30 minutes at a time. also feel very flimsy
My pair have been fine for months and I dont find them uncomfortable
I love it, 10/10, cheap, I don’t find it flimsy, great quality, much more comfortable than my old Turtle Beach PX21.
“Plastics feel a little poor in places.”
feels and is are 2 different things folks. I’ve had the Shock, regular shock for over 2 years now, not a simple break anywhere, am i’m the kinda guy who buys Steelseries Siberia V2 and has them for 1-6 months max, after that they brake in the most awkward places.
This is basically unbreakable 😀 Since i’ve dropped myn more than 10 000 times.
