black units which not only look the
best photographed but in the flesh
as well. They may seem a little
too big to be walking around with
but the really do look good and
nothing about them suggests that
they are for gaming as well. This is
probably the biggest draw card for
me when it comes to this headset.
At the same time I do feel that BitFenix could have been a little more
daring with their design. In this day
and age where headphones serve as
a fashion accessories as much
as their primary function, visuals
are ever more important. The size
adjustments bars are a little too big
and they distract from the otherwise
clean look of the cans. The cable is
the standard black cable, but the
ends are brushed aluminium, a
neat little touch but one that would
have been even better if the cable
matched the individual colour of the
headset. The Black cable breaks the
“flow” if you will.
Overall, this is a solid set of that I
use for a variety of devices including
those quick gaming sessions.
For a first attempt, Bit-Fenix has
done really well here, avoiding the
pitfalls that many first time gaming
headphones vendors make. BitFenix has managed to walk a fine line
between aesthetics, functionality
and pricing. For $60 you could do
a lot worse and are unlikely to do
much better than these, so if you’re
in the market do consider the BitFenix Flo.
