Gaming headsets have, in many ways, become much of a muchness in terms of what you can expect once you start shopping in the $100-$200 range. I've reviewed enough of the blighters over the years to know what I want to see when I open the box of a new review sample. A good microphone, 40 mm+ drivers, comfortable earpads, a 2.4 GHz wireless dongle. Same old, same old.
But the Fractal Design Scape adds such a hefty dose of refinement to this gaming headset recipe, it stands apart. Opening the eco-friendly box reveals a headset and charging stand combo that manages to feel instantly familiar, and yet honed to such a point that it makes most of the models I review seem a bit old-fashioned.
