Very Good Headset

HyperX Cloud Stereo Gaming Headset for PC / PS4 / Mac / Mobile - Black
HyperX Cloud Stereo Gaming Headset for PC / PS4 / Mac / Mobile - Black

Pros: High quality sound. Comfortable fit. Extra accessories. Seems well built. Carry case for extras. Well packaged. The headset gets very good grades when reviewed from various online sources.

Cons: Wouldn't fit large heads. Typical windows sound settings do not enable you to hear your own voice (you can enable LISTEN TO THIS DEVICE but there is an annoying delay with that option. With other headsets you can go to SPEAKERS, PROPERTIES and unmute MICROPHONE. However, the microphone slider isn't available when this headset is plugged in. I contacted Kingston Tech Support via chat and they were unable to offer a solution.

Overall Review: I don't think you can beat the headset for the money. Many don't want to hear themselves in the headset so that wouldn't be an issue. A large head would be. It just fits me. The in-line volume/mute control could be a little closer to the headset itself, but that's a small issue. I should have checked into whether I could monitor myself before the purchase.

Very Disappointing

Saitek PRO Flight Combat Rudder Pedals
Saitek PRO Flight Combat Rudder Pedals

Pros: They look great...very authentic.

Cons: Very clunky which wasn't my primary complaint. After 14 months of fairly heavy use, the left toe brake stopped working and the rudder started spiking in that you would push the right pedal to turn right and you would turn left for a brief moment before turning back to the right.

Overall Review: The pedals are the only Saitek product I've purchased. I doubt I would purchase another product.

Very Good Monitor

ASUS VN289H Black 28" HDMI Ultra-Widescreen LED Backlight LCD Monitor ,300 cd/m2 ,ASCR 80000000:1 (3000:1) Built-in Speakers, Tilt Adjustable

Pros: Affordable. There were no issues out of the box. Colors are beautiful. I am very satisfied so far and would recommend the monitor. I would have liked to have given it 4.5 stars (see CONS) but had to settle for 4 stars.

Cons: My only complaint...and it's a minor one....is that the adjustments for the monitor are located underneath and are somewhat inconvenient to access. Having said that, once a setting is either chosen or modified, its not like I'll be adjusting the monitor everyday. It's a small issue.

Overall Review: I moved from a 24 inch monitor to this 28 inch for flight simulation (DCS World). I didn't know how much of a difference the size change would make....it's a big difference and well worth the cost of the monitor.
