This headset is marketed to competitive online eSports gamers because of its accelerated audio and noise isolation, and while I play online, I probably spend more time respawning than I do dominating. I demoed the A-Spire at a gaming event and was blown away by the audio quality and decided to treat myself as my Pro X 2 Lightspeed started to cut audio. Most of the games I play are single player games I can sink into for a couple of hours in the evenings.Compared to my previous set (which I thought was great), audio is definitely clearer, fuller, and sound orientation is more pronounced. Replaying Alien Isolation I could close my eyes and pinpoint where the alien was walking, and the stunning sound design of RDR2 sounds even better, with the sound effects and dialog sitting perfectly against the environmental sounds and score.I went through a few of their EQ settings, and while I appreciate the enhancements they bring, I stuck with a neutral EQ to hear the games the way they were meant to be heard. Surprisingly, streaming UHD music rivaled my WH-1000XM4. I’ll stick with the XM4 for music on the go as I don’t want to worry about the microphone boom arm on the A-Spire, but I am impressed.I haven’t mucked around with the microphone too much, but when I asked a coworker about my audio quality in Teams they confirmed they could definitely hear a difference from my camera mic; no background noise and a full sound.
