CONCLUSION

   The XPG Precog is marketed as the world’s first gaming headset using dual electrostatic dynamic drivers each covering a different frequency range (highs/lows) thus effectively increasing audio clarity and after almost 10 full days of testing i have to admit that it's very good, at least overall. The 7.1 surround sound mode works very well by offering surprisingly clear and accurate mids and highs with good positioning audio (especially in movies) and so does the FPS mode which is also something we don't see with other headsets (this mode basically amplifies only effects rather than ambient sounds and music so it's not something you'll end up using all the time and with all games). On the other hand, music mode is less than impressive (even more so when used with the 3.5mm cable, which means that i wouldn't use the Precog primarily for listening to music) and as for ENC unidirectional microphone let’s just say that it's nothing to get excited over (same as with 70% of all the gaming headsets I’ve used/tested to date). Moving to comfort the Precog does very well there as well but do keep in mind that it requires time for the headband and the large earpads to adjust so at first (and for a few hours after that) you may experience some discomfort due to pressure.

   With a current price tag set at USD99.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and at 117Euros inside the EU (Amazon.co.uk) the Precog Gaming Headset by XPG is priced just about right (was hoping just a tad lower however). Overall, the Precog is a very good gaming headset (emphasis on the gaming part) so if you’re in the market for one such model and have little to no intention of using it with music then not only do I highly recommend it but it also gets our Golden Award.
