Although the microphone was not as loud as I expected with the audio control box, this was fine for online chats and casual gaming.

I am really curious as to how MSIs gaming headset is going to fare against the already stiff competition in the saturated gaming audio market.

Competitively speaking, the design does manage to set this gaming headset apart from the rest.

It comes with a very thick braided cable which is a good thing for longevitys sake.

MSI DS502 gaming headset is pretty much black except for the insides of the ear cups which don a red fibre and the Dragon Logo which only illuminates in red.

The mic swivels off the left ear cup and moves into or out of place with fair ease, its flexible and comes with a red LED indicating its activeness (ON Illuminated Off Non Illuminated).

A good addition but not without cons, the inline remote is a little bulky, i think a different design which would make it lighter enabling it to be used with a clip would do better here.

This page essentially allows the user to pitch up or down his voice, going from Chip Dale to Batman.

Its a voice modulation setting in simplest of terms, sadly there are only 4 presets.

Sound Quality despite being a subjective quantity holds the most weight for me over other features or nifty tricks the product might have up its sleeves.

In simpler terms a larger soundstage creates a 3-D effect where the listener can visualize the location of the singer and the instruments or in case of games the enemiesfriendlies around him.

I took the headset for a long ride, tested it with different games like Battlefield, Tribes, Dota 2 as well as some single player games like The Witcher 3 and The Fallout 4.

I think over coloration is to blame here, as even with a lot of EQ tweaking i could not get satisfactory results.

This coupled with the Virtual 7.1 surround does make for a good experience.

Although i would like to state that the virtual 7.1 seemed a little dodgy to me, while in some cases it was working fine, in others i was not able to differentiate between surround right and rear right speakers.

The explosions sound muddy, there is barely any punch, the smart vibration is a neat trick MSI DS502 comes bundled with and surprisingly it does help in making you feel the bass but sadly it cannot make up enough for the bass to be enjoyable.

The overall tonality of the sound on this gaming headset is towards the warmer side.

Even at its low retail pricing there are things which cannot be overlooked, and there are competing products out there doing better at a similar price range.

Outriders is a cooperative looter shooter developed by People Can Fly, the people behind games like Bulletstorm and Painkiller.

The HyperX Pulsefire Raid is comfortable to use, comes with 5 programmable buttons on its right side, and its fully customizable via software.

According to a report, the global market for non-cash transactions grew at about 10.1 during 2015-2016.

This was a tremendous growth over.

In terms of performance, the Cloud Core 7.1 sounded good with a variety of games, music, and videos.

With virtual 7.1 surround sound turned on, games sounded very clear with not much problem regarding pinpointing footsteps and such.
