A few years ago Thermaltake decided to introduce a new line of hardware, the Level10. The thought behind it was that this was the top of the line, period. The broke into the market with a case that was almost unique in its design. After that case they have released several more products including a pair of gaming mice that are outstanding in design and performance. Now we are taking a look at their headset, the Level10M headset. This gaming headset is designed in the tradition of the original level10 case and the mice that followed it. So let’s take a look and see if this headset deserves to be alongside the other products in the Level10 family.
Value -Value is another very subjective topic. What is expensive to some might be a deal to others. You can look at this topic in multiple ways. One is raw price and the other is what you get for the money. Each is accurate and both are correct ways to look at price/value. We tend to look at features, performance and real-property when we discuss value. However, we also take into account the raw cash cost of the item. At around $100 the Level10M headset is a fairly good deal considering the construction and performance. There are headsets that cost much more and do not perform as well. The Level10M headset also has a couple of features that you cannot even find on the market for any price.
Conclusion -With a couple of exceptions the Level10M Headset performed very well in all of our testing. The audio was solid and was more than acceptable. They were comfortable even during extended play while the design is sure to catch the eyes of others. Thermaltake has also priced the Level10M in the right range for the features you are getting. The only downside to the Level10M Headset is that the open driver design limits the reproduction of low-end sounds and also allows for sound from outside to leak in.All-in-all the Level10M Headset fits right in with other products in the Level10 lineup.
For its combination of price, versatility and performance we awarded the Level10M our Silver Key award.
