that particular green is one of my favorites, so I\u2019m happy with it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/gsp2\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone

adjust and stay that way on your head.\u00a0 It feels very comfortable and durable, too.\u00a0 The noise cancelling microphone is very nice, especially if you\u2019re into streaming games and talking while you play.\u00a0 There is a knob on the right side for adjusting the microphone volume, too.\u00a0 The headset comes with two cords that you connect together.\u00a0 On the cord you can push a button to switch to Dolby sound.<\/p>\n<p>My only gripe with this headset is that it looks like it\u2019s for PC only, as you plug it in to a USB port, and must follow install prompts to get it working on PC.\u00a0 I couldn\u2019t find any way to use it on my PS4 or Switch.\u00a0 For the price of the headset, I would\u2019ve liked for it to be more versatile.\u00a0 If there is a way to get it to work on consoles, I\u2019m not tech savvy enough to figure it out.\u00a0 But as a PC gaming headset, which is what it\u2019s designed to be, this is one of the nicer ones for sure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Even though I mostly write game reviews, I\u2019ve also written reviews on gaming accessories ever since my days at The Dallas Morning News
