Tt eSPORTS Cronos Gaming Headset Review

It is clear that Tt eSPORTS are putting a lot of effort into new product development, leading to various recent releases including the Cronos and, more broadly, the Level 10M range of gaming peripherals. While their products have exhibited an improving trend over time, they haven't convinced us that they are quite at the top level yet, specifically in terms of build quality and performance.

While the overall build quality of the Cronos is not a major concern, the plastics used in the ear-cups feel a little cheap and creak excessively when handled.  This may be acceptable for a £30 headset, but when the price exceeds £50 it certainly raises a red flag.

On a more positive note, we are impressed with the different connectivity options, which make it perfect for those who want to a headset to use with both their PC and mobile devices.

Despite exhibiting decent performance throughout our gaming and multimedia tests from a sound quality point of view, we found the headset uncomfortable to use for long periods of time due to the unusual material which cover the earpads.  We found it to be very itchy and ended up speeding through our tests as quickly as possible so we could return to a more comfortable headset.

At a price of around £55 from Amazon, we feel that the Tt eSPORTS Cronos is too expensive considering overall experience and quality.  While it may not necessarily offer better build quality, the SteelSeries Siberia V2 only costs £5 more and offers superior sound quality and a significantly more comfortable fit. We really could not live with the Tt eSPORTS Cronos Gaming Headset.

Pros:

• Decent sound quality.
• Compatible with mobile devices.
• Folding design.

Cons:

• Annoying ear-pad material.
• Too expensive.
• Dubious build quality.

KitGuru says: A decent headset which lacks bass response, is slightly uncomfortable and suffers from questionable build quality issues.
