Budget Headset Head-to-Head Review

A Closer Look – Side By Side

Overall they’re three very different looking headsets, the TteSports Cronos is by far the best looking of the bunch, but it is the most expensive too. In my opinion the Ceres 300 is the second best looking, but the build quality of its cables leaves a lot to be desired, and finally we have the Speedlink Medusa, which looks like it was designed for PC gaming some 15 years ago, it looks horribly outdated.

All three headsets feature soft ear pads, adjustable and durable headbands, boom microphones and pivoting ear cups, although only the Cronos and the Medusa feature rotating ear cups, which is better for those who wear their headsets around their neck between games.

All three feature a basic in-line controller, but the Medusa one looks simply awful and after testing the products I found that the green light on the Medusa blinks constantly, with no way of disabling it, I’m tempted to open it up and unsolder the LED just to stop it! The TteSports Cronos has the best looking controller and it certainly benefits from the aesthetics of that lovely braided cable. Finally the Ceres 300 is on par with the Cronos in terms of functionality and general design, but has the least durable cable.
