Its flat rubber cable is a step up from competitors: Flatness makes it tangle-free and less susceptible to damage when I roll over it with my chair. The last generation of the headset got complaints about build quality, but I've been using it for months with no issues. The mic is both removable and flip-up, which you rarely see at this price. It's comfortable and relatively light with good 3D audio, pretty decent mic quality, good noise isolation and an inline volume control that's neither too far down the cable or too far up. I powered through this time, and although I'm still not fond of the appearance, it's turned out to be one of my go-to headsets in why-doesn't-my-pc-see-my-wireless-headset emergencies. The first time I saw the Rig series of gaming headsets - well before the brand was bought by gaming and accessory company Nacon - I was so turned off by the aesthetic I didn't even take the headset out of the box.
