Here’s my own Philips SHG7980 review, the best PC gaming headset with detachable mic (for me). All I really wanted for is a headset with microphone that I can use for my daily Skype conference call. When I went to this gadget store (The A.Shop, Ayala Makati) near our office I saw this PHILIPS SHG7980 PC Gaming Headset with detachable microphone. One thing I know about PHILIPS is that they are known for offering the best in multimedia – audio/visual.

When I removed the PHILIPS SHG7980 PC gaming headset from the box, I was pretty much amazed on the real deal.

Downside of PC Gaming Headset Philips SHG7980…

I almost love everything about PHILIPS SHG7980 PC gaming headset except for one thing and that’s semi-open acoustic system or other known as semi-open headphones. A semi-headphones lets you enjoy the best of the open and closed headphones. If you ask me it’s quite annoying at times because like open headphones/headsets, those people standing next to you or near you will almost hear what you are listening into. By definition, a semi-open headphones means that it may or may not leak less sound than those of full open headphones. Well, about the price of PHILIPS SHG7980 PC gaming headset – it costed me Php 2,799.00. The price looks expensive but to tell you honestly it’s worth every pennies. It may not be as glamorous as Beats by Dr. Dre but the bass and the whole of PHILIPS PC gaming headset – it’s the real deal!

  1. My only complaint about this headset is that the microphone looks kind of dorky the way it sticks out. And the fact that it’s red while the headset is black doesn’t help. I wish they would’ve just made the microphone black like the rest of it.
