The Thermaltake Tt eSPORTS ISURUS In-Ear Gaming Headset comes boxed in the usual Tt eSPORTS colors of black and red. The Tt eSPORTS packaging graphics have always been one of our favorite, and as usual the box contains more than adequate information on the enclosed product.

The front of the box simply provides the product name, the website address for Tt eSPORTS and a picture of the ear buds.

The rear of the box has a multilingual blurb about it being ultra light weight and how using the product for gaming and portable audio/video devices is the intended use.

The front of the box opens much like the cover of a book and provides additional information on the features and box contents.

Opening the box we find the head set cabling tucked away inside a nifty little storage pouch. The ear buds are secured in the plastic shell to prevent damage during the migration to the eventual user. All and all very well packaged and secure in it’s surroundings. Under the plastic shell you find a quick start guide and the warranty policy booklet. This particular product comes with a two year warranty.

Lets dive in to the features and specifications of the Tt eSPORTS ISURUS In-Ear Gaming Headstet next. A few of the highlights are the built in omni-directional microphone, the gold plated connectors and the ability to use the product with just about anything with a 3.5mm headphone jack.

Included in the package is a few very handy accessories such as the nylon storage pouch, three different sizes of ear bud sleeves and the splitter cable for using the microphone feature.

The ear buds themselves are of an ergonomic design, meaning they are not straight. The buds are tilted slightly to more closely conform with the human ear, and the three different sized sleeves allow you to fine tune the fit to your ears.

Along the main cable of the headset you find a clip to attach to your garment. The clip can be slid up or down the main cable which again allows for individual customization and proper fit. The “Y” cable portion that the ear buds are attached to are of different length and not adjustable. The left ear bud cable is approximately 6.5 inches long while the right side cable is approximately 22.5 inches long. The offset cable length design works rather well if you utilize the garment clip on your left collar area. Some may prefer the standard equal length cable design which can be cinched to fit under the chin area.

Additionally, there is a hard plastic barrel device built in to the cable which controls the microphone functions. The barrel houses both the sound pickup and the mute button.

While doing any review of audio products you have to keep in mind that sound quality is purely subjective to the individual user. Having said that, I plugged the Thermaltake Tt eSPORTS ISURUS In-Ear Gamin Headset in to the front panel connections of a computer and fired up a few of my favorite tunes.

Now listen, I am far from what would be considered an audiophile, but these things sounded real, real good. The advertised bass enhancement, while not overbearing, was noticeably apparent and gave an excellent, rich, and deep tone to the music I was listening to. The clarity of the music was outstanding as well, there were no pops,  no crackling and no hissing that I could hear.

Leaving the headset plugged in to the front panel of our computer I fired up a game or two and had the same experience as with listening to music. Guns firing, bombs exploding and the rumble of machinery sounded excellent and did not lack the bass required to make them sound realistic.

Next, and probably the most telling of all the tests, was handing the headset over to the Misses for her IPod usage. All the above attributes once again held true and she was quite impressed with the exceptional audio quality compared to the stock headset supplied with the IPod. Utilizing the small sized ear bud sleeves she was able to fit the headset comfortably and securely to her ears, as was I for that matter. If you are a jogger/runner like we both are you will enjoy the fact that the ear buds stay in place very well as you head out on your journey.

In order to test the microphone I simply initiated a Skype session with a buddy of mine. He reported no issues with voice quality or volume level on his end, it all seemed to work well under those conditions.

Pros

• Light Weight
• Three sizes of ear bud sleeves
• Included microphone capability
• Storage Pouch
• Excellent sound quality

Cons

• Different Length Ear Bud Cable Leads May Not Appeal to all

At the time of this review the Thermaltake Tt eSPORTS ISURUS In-Ear Gaming Headset was priced at around $30 USD. If you are willing to spend that kind of money on ear buds, then these are worth the price of admission!

If you are looking for a great In-Ear headset that delivers excellent sound quality, can be used on just about any device having a 3.5mm headphone jack and is backed by a two year warranty, then look no further as these are the ones to grab.

We have no problem recommending this headset for casual use or for your gaming time. 9/10 and the gold award for this offering from Tt eSPORTS by Thermaltake!
