Thermaltake Shock Pro Reviews

While the headset design and quality are outstanding, the sound production could be better. While distinctly capable of providing the listener with stronger bass than any other headset, the Thermaltake Shock lacks in sound frequency differentiation. In other words, the sound frequency blend without providing true dynamics. The blending is not as apparent at higher sampling rates which is observed in all of the games, so the overall gaming experience is not effected and in fact is better than the majority of headsets due to the more powerful bass. However, true audiophiles that love to listen to music or look for this headset to fulfill multiple purposes might be disappointed. In perspective the sound blending can be adjusted through the sound card using an equalizer and adjusting the volume levels of the specific frequencies, but the Thermaltake Shock does not come with this software.

The Tt eSports Shock is a reasonable headset, but it fails to impress in a number of areas. The flat bass response is perhaps the biggest issue as far as audio is concerned, and the microphone’s quality is questionable too. While the mid-range and high end frequencies sounded were acceptable, they often left a lot to be desired compared with other headsets we’ve tested. The main reason to look elsewhere, though, is the uncomfortably tight fit – this is a shame, as the Shock is otherwise well made.
