Thermaltake Tt eSPORTS has been on the horn to BMW Designworks again and requested the style gurus to follow the well-received Level 10 chassis and Level 10 M gaming mouse with a headset in the same mould.
The sum of the collaboration is the Tt eSPORTS Level 10 M headset, above. Though the version we saw is a prototype, the ready-to-ship model will only differ in very small ways, according to the company.
A distinctive industrial design fits in well with previous BMW-designed products. The use of aluminium makes it lighter than it looks, and on a brief try, the headset is comfortable, with the earcups and micro-adjusting, padded band fitting nicely. Punching out the lines, 40mm drivers sit inside.
The thick mic fits in well with the overall aesthetic. Tt eSPORTS says that, initially, black and white models will be available at at around the late-May timeframe. Both $150 models will connect to your system via a standard 3.5mm jack. Later, however, $200 USB versions with multi-channel surround are to hit the market; and with USB providing the power, the outer aluminium sections of the earcups will be lit up. Party time!
Here's Tt eSPORTS' Andrew with more information direct from the show. We reckon the styling looks a bit kitsch. What do you think? Do they look like a premium set of cans to you?
