CONCLUSION

   As mentioned earlier we never had the chance to test the V361 but the V360 was a very good headset especially for what you were asked to pay for it. The V370 with its aluminum frame and RGB lighting is certainly an improvement over the V360 but not in everything. For example although audio clarity feels slightly improved with even more accurate highs and mids compared to the V360 at the same time bass doesn’t feel quite as deep (even the ultra-bass response feature doesn't feel as powerful as the one in the V360 headset). Volume levels are also pretty much the same as the V360 but on the other hand thanks to the suspension design of the headband the V360 was more comfortable compared to the V370 (especially after many hours of use). The microphone also produces the same results as the one used in the V360 so nothing wrong here (although we’ve used better ones in the past). As for the RGB LEDs located on the exterior of both earcups they look great and they are quite bright as well (still we’d prefer a larger area compared to the V361).

     One of the strongest sale points of the Viper V360 7.1 Surround Gaming Headset was its price so we expected more or less the same from the V370 and with a current price tag set at USD44.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and at around 40Euros inside the EU (unfortunately Amazon prices are quite inflated in the EU) things couldn’t be better. Sure the Viper V370 may not be the best RGB gaming headset in the market today but thanks to its audio quality and features it does represent a great deal for people looking for a new gaming headset without breaking the bank and for that it gets our Golden Award.
