CONCLUSION

   Based on the quality of materials and available features it’s quite evident that when ThunderX3 was working the AH7 HEX they had but a single goal and that was to compete in the mid-price range of the gaming headset market. This of course is not only not a bad thing but it was also expected since this is the market favored mostly by the majority of consumers (gamers included). Now audio quality may not be stellar but the AH7 HEX does offer good clarity and accuracy with an acceptable level of bass generated from a pair of 50mm drivers (we’ve seen both better and worse headsets based on similar drivers in terms of bass). Positioning audio may also not be the best we’ve encountered to date but it’s actually quite immersive for a headset of this category. The microphone is the one thing we didn’t get to test much in online games but the little that we did people reported clear reception on the other end. Comfort I also very high largely thanks to the suspension system and the rather large memory foam padded ear cushions ThunderX3 decided to use with their headset. Unfortunately although the AH7 HEX looks great thanks to its HALO RGB LEDs since it’s a USB based gaming headset (both the sound card and the RGB LEDs require too much power) it can't be used with mobile devices.

   Since the AH7 HEX Gaming Headset by ThunderX3 is a relatively new product it’s not widely available yet so unfortunately to our knowledge noone carries it in the USA. Still you can find it inside the EU for a price tag of 85Euros (Amazon.co.uk) a price tag which as expected places it right in the middle of several similar RGB gaming headsets. In the end the AH7 HEX Gaming Headset by ThunderX3 may not bring anything new and exciting to the table but thanks to its looks (although the black/cyan theme may not be for everyone), comfort and audio quality our Golden Award feels right at home with it.
