XPG releases a gaming headset that is both visually and audibly impressive with the Precog!
The XPG Precog gaming headset impressed me from the first moment I opened the package. The case looks big, durable, and impressive, and when you open the box what you see is just as big, durable, and impressive!
If you are looking for a low-profile headset, then the Precog is not your thing. It is big, bold, and powerful. It screams, “I mean business!” The ergonomic ear cups with memory foam make for a very comfortable experience so that the size has no effect on the amount of time you can keep it on your head. If I could explain in a word how it feels to wear, I would say that the Precog is “comfy.”
Once I had it plugged into my keyboard via gold-plated USB (and after a few seconds of driver installation), it was time to push the limits of use by firing up Doom Eternal. First-person shooters are always great gauges for testing out 7.1 surround sound, and the Precog excelled at this. Great highs and booming lows added to the atmospheric separation I needed to get a sense of if trouble was coming.
Like many modern headsets, the Precog has interchangeable braided cables allowing for USB or 3.5mm jack and volume controls. The Precog also has a removable boom mic that offers more than adequate sound for game chat or meetings.
The look is simple and straight-forward with a matte black finish with red stitching and red LEDs on the earcups. This works for me as black and red are my default for all of my peripherals, but your mileage may vary.
