I think unboxing experiences are a little overrated. While it's nice to open your new purchase and find a level of care and attention paid to the packaging that makes every component feel like a rare gem, I don't really mind if a product comes in a default, easy-to-recycle cardboard container. It makes me feel good about myself, like the company, and I might have saved a sea turtle from an unfortunate plastic lunch.
I do expect a little bit more than the Nacon Rig 900 Max HS provides, though, which is to deliver you a headset that comes with its earcups dangling by their respective wires. Step one here, after removing it from its cardboard frame, is to rescue each cup from its perilous position and click it into one of three sizing settings on the headband. That's providing you haven't wrenched the cables horribly in your eagerness to get going with your $250/£200 new gaming headset, of course.
