INTRODUCTION

   Although red has always been my favorite lighting color i can't deny that RGB has many advantages the main of which is that it can match the preference of every consumer out there at any given time. This is also probably the reason behind the continuous flow of RGB enabled gaming peripherals lately and unlike single color models i doubt these will cease to exist any time soon (besides what else is there aside RGB in terms of lighting?). Most although people i happen to know say that RGB lighting is mostly about peripherals which we see at all times when sitting in front of our screens like gaming keyboards, mice and mouse pads i happen to disagree since there's always room for a catchy gaming headset on, over or right next to our desks. Patriot recently enriched their Viper line of gaming peripherals once again with the V370 Gaming Headset which we've been using since early January.

   Viper Gaming is a brand of Patriot Memory LLC, a global leader in performance memory, SSD's and flash storage solutions. Viper Gaming was established in 2007 with the unveiling of the well-known, top-tier line of computer memory. Since then, the Viper Gaming brand has become synonymous with elite performance and reliability among gamers worldwide. In 2015, Viper Gaming decided to expand its product categories to include gaming keyboards, headsets and mice. Offering entry, mid-level and high-end solutions with rich feature sets that won't break the bank, Viper Gaming's award-winning peripherals provide gamers everywhere the best price-for-performance and reliability that enables every Viper Gamer to dominate in their sport.

   Just like its predecessor the very affordable and award winning V360 (actually the V361 is its immediate predecessor but we never had the chance to test that one out) the V370 Gaming Headset is actually a stereo headset (7.1 virtual surround sound is achieved with the help of a built-in USB sound card) which uses two 40mm neodymium magnet drivers (with 30mm integrated sub-drivers) that feature a frequency response of 20Hz-20KHz with 110dB (+/- 3dB) sensitivity, and impedance of 32 Ohms at 1kHz. Also just like its predecessor the V370 features a pull down omnidirectional microphone (not flexible) that features a frequency response of 100Hz-10KHz with -46dB (+/- 3dB) sensitivity, -60dB signal to noise ratio and 2.2KOhm impedance and an earcup vibration system (Patriot calls it Ultra Bass Response) which actually helps quite a bit both while playing games and watching movies. Compared to its predecessor RGB lighting seems to be the main selling point of the V370 so let's not waste any more time in checking it out.
