El sonido no es nada destacable ya que es muy parecido si no es que igual que unos hyperex cloud stringer o al menos así es en teléfono y consola, en cuanto la construcción se siente bien pero no me parece nada increíble sobretodo por el precio,yo les recomendaría buscar otros audífonos o si quieren unos de razer ir directamente por los v2 x ya que dicen que suenan exactamente igual y por el precio están bien

Pros

  • Son muy cómodos y ligeros

Cons

  • El sonido no es tan bueno
  • La construcción no destaca
