ADATA XPG Precog

Mit dem XPG Precog stellt Adata ein Headset für Gamer vor, das sowohl auf dynamische als auch elektrostatische Treiber setzt. Der Ansatz weckt Interesse, ist er doch auch von hochpreisigen Hifi-Kopfhörern bekannt. Viele kleine Fehler trüben im Alltag aber das Gesamtbild deutlich ein.

The XPG Precog is an interesting gaming headset in more ways than one. According to the manufacturer, it's the first gaming headset ever to use two speaker drivers in each ear cup: a standard dynamic driver backed with an electrostatic driver. That combined with a feature-heavy spec sheet resulted in a hefty price tag—the Precog was launched at $250. If that were its current price, my conclusion would be a simple one: buy something else, it's simply not worth it. However, not long afterward, XPG drastically cut the price of the Precog, and as I am writing this, you can get it for $110. At that price point, it becomes an intriguing option despite some flaws.

I’m quite particular about my headsets. They have to fit right, they have to be comfortable, they have to sound great, and most of all they have to be durable. I own headsets that fit those criteria. But that’s not why you’re here. You’re here to find out how XPG’s eye-catching new Precog gaming headset stacks up against those incumbents. Is it comfortable? Does it sound superb? Is it indestructible? Is it a winner, or is your money better spent somewhere else? Let’s find out.

Its not everyday I can knock the HyperX Cloud in terms of recommendation, but the XPG Precog gaming headset is easily a top contender for the best gaming headset.
