It is quite clear that Thermaltake aren't targeting this headset at the same consumers as their other gaming headsets. The white, yellow and gold design makes the Dracco Signature look considerably more ‘bling' than any of the other Tt eSPORTS offerings. The headphones are available in a number of other colours though, should white, yellow and gold not appeal.
There are gold dragon logos on each of the ear-cups which are used instead of Tt eSPORTS logos which might advertise this model as a gaming headset. The arms attaching the ear-cups to the headband are also finished in gold, despite being made from plastic. These look a little tawdry in our opinion and cheapen the overall look of the headset. We would prefer to seem them being made from metal as they don't feel particularly sturdy. The outside of the headband and ear-cups are finished in white, leaving yellow reserved for the ear-pads and headband padding.
While Thermaltake have clearly tried to make this headset look expensive, some of the materials don't feel good quality at all. We were particularly disappointed by the headband covering. While there is nothing wrong with the faux leather itself, the stitched diamond pattern feels rough and poor quality.
In the bottom of the left ear-cup there is a 3.5 mm jack which lets us attach one of the supplied cables. There are two different types of cables provided: a standard cable and a longer telephone-style cable. Both of these feature high-quality gold-plated connectors which should ensure the best possible audio quality.
This particular set of headphones doesn't feature an in-line control like most of the models we look at. If this were a gaming headset, we would mark it down for this. However, most laptops and MP3 players feature their own volume control so a second in-line volume control on the headset would complicate matters unnecessarily.
