Some time ago, Raytheon launched its third headset Silver Wing HG503, a traditional one-piece head beam, sleek shape, high-contrast color matching, and the outer ear shell with RGB halo, there are only white models. If some users pursue visual simplicity, the sales of the Silver Wing HG503 headphones seem to be quite real.
In terms of performance parameters, the built-in 50mm driver unit, the sound frequency is 20Hz-20KHz, the impedance is 32Ω, and the sensitivity is 100±3dB. The cable length reaches 2.2 meters, is non-removable, uses a USB interface, and is obviously for PC platform use, so this 2.2 meters cable length is completely enough to cope with desktop cable routing.

Unlike many of the same type of game headsets, the main game style, cool appearance design, Thor Blade HG503 is very concise in shape. The white body, round ear cups, and L-shaped hinge bracket allow the ear cups to be adaptively adjusted at small angles and rotated by 90°. As for the RGB light ring on the ear shell, it is the only game attribute that can highlight the Blade HG503.
The thickness of the head beam lining is moderate, just enough to cushion the pressure of the head beam on the head, and the pure black leather is not easy to get dirty. The traditional style of telescopic lever without any markings, the actual measurement has 7 scales, the elongation distance is about 2.5cm, a total of 5cm on both sides, this length with adaptive ear cups is enough to meet the needs of most users.
The silver hinge module looks quite metallic, but it is actually made of plastic, which is quite good in surface treatment, which greatly reduces the plastic feeling. Among them, the ear cups can be rotated horizontally by 90 degrees, which is convenient for flat storage. Or usually take a break after the game, take off the headphones and hang them directly around your neck without topping your chin.
The headset adopts an integrated microphone structure, hose material, usually can be stored in the ear shell, the end of the wheat head has a blue indicator, directly controlled by the microphone switch button behind the left ear shell. There is also a headset light effect control button and a volume knob on the side, where you can switch the light color and light effect by clicking and double-clicking, and the device has a light memory function, and the light effect is still retained when replaced by other devices.
The surface of the outer ear shell is relatively simple, and the English character of Thor is engraved on the left and right side covers, which is very low-key. The RGB light of this headset is hidden under the side cover, revealed through the gap, forming a very unique fading Halo aura, about the effect of this part, or the end of the article to appreciate more intuitively.
Usage experience
The ear cushions of the Thor Blade HG503 are made of mesh fabric, and the built-in sponge pads are good, but the combination of fabric and sponge will absorb sweat. However, in terms of durability, the fabric wrapping does not need to worry about breaking the skin, and the breathability is better, and the advantages and disadvantages are more distinct.
The size of the headset body is not small, and the head beam frame is wide, and the measured net weight is about 330g, which is not light, nor heavy, and decent. In terms of wearing experience, due to the relatively small adjustment of the adaptive angle of the frame, the Blade HG503 has a small amount of pressure on the head. The advice here is to elongate the telescopic rod so that the head beam does not fit too closely to the top of the head, which can alleviate the impact of pressure to a certain extent.
The headset uses a 50mm driver unit that supports heavy artillery diaphragms to give sound greater clarity and layering, and virtual 7.1 surround sound, which is obviously for FPS games. After listening to popular music, people feel more focused on the performance of the mid-frequency, adding virtual 7.1 to expand the sound field is very large, so there is a certain sense of emptiness when listening to music, at this time it is best to switch the sound effect of the player, so that the voice does not appear empty. The good news is that a good mid-range + virtual 7.1 channel will perform better in some games, such as FPS games, especially Battlefield 2042, which has a large battlefield multiplayer game, which can determine the location of the enemy faster from the distant gunshots. In close-range gun battles, the sense of encirclement of bullets, shells and various sound effects is in place, with good expressiveness to describe the details of the battlefield.
Lighting effects
On the outer packaging of the product, Thor only showed the single-circle fading Halo halo of the Blade HG503, and there was a small ring around the side cover, which could reveal a lot of light.
The brightness of the Thor Blade HG503 is just right, the point is up, not too ostentatious, and it will not be lost in the gap, and the lighting effect (especially the RGB streamer effect) exuded by the double ring perfectly creates a qualified game atmosphere. Moreover, in the RGB streamer light effect, the transition of light color is particularly smooth and natural. Among them, the headset is free of drive plug and play, the light effect mode can be switched by the shortcut keys on the headphone body, the light effect mode includes breathing lights, RGB streamers, and the light uniformity performance is excellent.
Write at the end
Thor Blade HG503 currently only offers a wired version of the option, this pair of shapes, it is possible to make wireless more popular, after all, 90 ° rotating ear, is also a portable more friendly setting. Overall, in the white headphones, the value of the Blade HG503 is quite high. Especially the lamp ring blessing, very plus. The price of 199 yuan provides 50mm large units and virtual 7.1 sound support, and the configuration is also quite in place.
