The Sharkoon RUSH ER1 Headset ships in a standard sized box, similar to other offerings on the market – there is nothing too fancy about it.
The back of the box runs down some of the headset’s more prominent features, such as the closed back design and in-line controls.
The side of the box runs down the technical specifications of the headset, including driver size, impedance and microphone response.
As you can see, the headset is going for a fairly stand out design. Unfortunately, it also looks a bit like a toy, which is partially down to the build quality, color and materials used.
There is sufficient padding around the headband and the ear cups, although it is pretty firm and not as cushioned as the padding found on other headsets, including Sharkoon’s own H10 headset, which we reviewed recently.
The headband has the word RUSH written on it while the microphone has ER1 on the side.
The RUSH ER1 headset uses 3.5mm jack inputs for audio and microphone rather than USB. The in-line controls feature the necessary toggles, including volume and a mute button for the microphone.
