Right off the bat the Func-HS-260 exudes class with its stark white box and hint of orange styling. It's also got a lovely matt finish – though part of me does wonder how much a nice box and design has pushed the price tag up.

The rest of the packaging is pretty much what you would expect: a nice big picture of the headset itself and a whistle stop tour of its most impressive features.

It's one of those clamshell designs, so you can open it up and take a look at some more detailed specifications and the headset itself, protected by its vacuum formed plastic shell.

As with many peripheral makers these days, Func invites you to register your purchase of the new HS-260 headset by giving you a member's card with your own unique ID. This sort of thing rarely ends up being more than getting you ‘access' to a mailing list, but it's there for those that want it.

The bundled microphone boom is a detachable one, with a simple 3.5mm jack on one end, where you also find the mic-mute switch switch. The boom itself is very flexible, meaning you should be able to bend this to whatever weird position your mouth happens to be in.

Like the mic, the audio cable that hooks your Func headset up to the PC is also detachable and comes rolled up with a little Velcro cable tidy. It splits off at the end to offer mic and audio input headers, each labelled with a little colour coded band around the connector.

The HS-260 comes with two earcup options:  pre attached velour or a leather option for those that prefer it.
