CONCLUSION

 The V380 is the latest gaming headset by Viper Gaming so naturally i was expecting it to surpass its predecessors with ease. The good news is that it does in two areas, looks and mid frequencies. Mids are actually very crisp and accurate but at the same time highs are far from impressive, bass levels are good but not as “rich” and as for volume levels well for a pair of large 53mm drivers i was clearly expecting more. Positioning audio on the other hand is very good (perhaps not so in movies but certainly in games since I did test it with Red Dead Redemption 2, World Of Warships and Crysis Remastered), the headset is comfortable and as for the detachable ENC microphone well i was surprised to see that it worked a lot better than many others. However, neither those nor its mids are just quite enough to “propel” the V380 to the heights needed for it to clearly surpass its predecessors.

   Currently the V380 7.1 Virtual Surround Sound RGB Headset by Viper Gaming retails for USD74.99 inside the USA (Newegg.com) and for 55Euros inside the EU (Amazon.co.uk) a price tag which is fair for what you’re getting in return (at least on this side of the Atlantic). Overall, the V380 may not be quite what I was hoping for it to be but thanks to its looks, comfort, positioning audio, ENC microphone and mids it’s certainly worth checking out if you’re on a rather tight budget.
