Imagine you're a general. You've trained all your life in the arts of war. You see troop movements and terrain and pincer movements and cavalry charges in your sleep. You're the ultimate killing machine—not by your own hands, but as an extension of thousands of others. A day comes that will determine the course of the future. The opposing army stands on the other side of a small canyon, evenly matched with your own. You ride up and down the ranks of your soldiers, giving them some sort of rousing speech about how, "A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship. But it is not this day."

Images on Intel’s website—as discovered by Most noticeably, the two USB 3.0 ports on the front of the enclosure come in blue and yellow, and it’s likely that the yellow port will be able to send power even when the NUC is turned off. The two ports have also been bunched closer together to the headphone jack and IR sensor. Intel may have managed to slim down the enclosure on its smaller NUC models as well, with Legit Reviews claiming a height of 1.2 inches, down from the previous 1.4 inches.

The Razer Kraken Pro isn’t new, per se, but this iteration of it certainly is. Like the special version of the Razer Taipan released earlier this year, the Razer Kraken Pro now comes in a glossy white. Sure, Razer’s strict neon green/black color scheme has its proponents, but I personally enjoy seeing the company branch out a bit. Anyway, the build quality of the white Kraken Pro is solid. I didn’t really like Razer’s choice of glossy white plastic on the Taipan Pro—it was a bit hard and uncomfortable when my hand was accustomed to soft-touch rubber coatings and the like. On your head though? It’s perfect, giving the Kraken Pro a high-end, professional look.

SteelSeries, Astro, Razer—these are the gorillas of the gaming headset (and gaming peripheral) world. And have been for some time. With that in mind, I can honestly say I never expected to come out of It’s not that Kingston is a bad company. Far from it. I just didn’t have any idea what I was in for with Kingston’s HyperX Cloud headset. It was a nonentity. Another red and black headset in a long line of red and black headsets, stretching back into eternity. What I found after sorting through the array of assorted adapters and cables (cell phone, airplane, USB, and analog extension) included with the HyperX Cloud, however, is one of the best sub-$100 gaming headsets I’ve ever used.
SteelSeries has been a major contender in the headset market for years, thanks to its Siberia V2 headset. The DNA of the V2 still exists in the company's slightly higher-end V3 model (look for a review from us soon) but this time around SteelSeries decided it could go for the even more budget-minded consumer with the new RAW Prism—a real bargain of a headset at $60. And if that price makes you wonder what's the catch? Well, it's actually "catches," plural. The adage "You get what you pay for" isn't always true in the gaming headset market. There are definitely some low-quality headsets masquerading behind an absurdly high price tag and vice versa. That being said, the RAW Prism is most definitely a $60 headset.
The GX Gaming Cavimanus is like the headset version of a concept car. Think of every weird, whiz-bang feature you'd want from a headset, and there's a solid chance it shows up on the Cavimanus. Oh, it's nothing to look at. The Cavimanus is actually a bit boxy—a far cry from the sleek designs we see out of Astro or SteelSeries—and is decked out in glossy (read: cheap-looking) red and black plastic. This set of cans definitely won't win any beauty pageants. It's an unfair first impression, though. Underneath that red and black plastic, for instance, is a durable metal frame that gives this headset a decent heft. The headset flexes side-to-side a bit more than I'm comfortable with, and it doesn't come close to the build quality of the
