Pros

• Great sound when factoring in the price.
• Understated design so can be used in professional settings.
• The microphone is clear and crisp.
• The bendable microphone is solid and stays in position.
• Mids and highs sound clear with a good low-end (bass).
• Lightweight enough to wear for hours of use.

Cons

• Drivers touched my ears on my unit which led to discomfort.
• Style can be a bit boring.
• No noise cancellation on the microphone (but it’s still clear).

KitGuru says: Of these peripherals from Trust, the mouse is the best product in terms of price-to-performance ratio. The keyboard is hugely disappointing with worn-down keycaps after just 3 weeks of use. The headset, in spite of its lightweight design, isn't the comfiest, but it does deliver quite good sound for the price. With all of these products, there's one thing to remember, they are budget items, so don't expect them to deliver in every department.
