The Guild Wars 2® Gaming Headset – $99.99 / €99.99
With a slim-profile, on-ear design, the headset exemplifies the iconic Guild Wars 2 look and feel with red ear cushions made of a mesh, SNDBlock material that delivers superbly engineered in-game sound via its 40mm driver units. In addition, the headset also features:
