▲ With the continuous acceleration of the iteration speed of electronic product updates, there have been too many electronic products that were once the king of the world have gradually disappeared on the historical stage, such as film cameras, tapes, CDs, etc., and even niche players have been difficult to find. But there are also a large number of new products that are difficult to use, such as various peripherals that are being vigorously developed by major peripheral manufacturers in recent years. Although there have been some doubts about flaws such as battery life and connection delays, the technology of wireless peripherals is now very mature. Whether it is battery life, connection efficiency or stability, it is almost comparable to wired peripherals. Even esports competitions with extremely high requirements for peripheral connectivity can already be seen with wireless peripherals.
Today to bring you to share, is the well-known peripheral manufacturers extremely unknown (HyperX) through the classic product iteration of the update of the Tomahawk headset wireless version, in addition to more convenient connection, but also increased support for DTS sound effects, the main ultimate immersive experience. So how does this classic-extremely unknown (HyperX) Tomahawk wireless gaming headset perform? Let's take a look at it.
Packaging exterior design:
▲The outer packaging of the headset is still the most commonly used red and white color matching style that is extremely unknown, which is very brand recognizable. On the front of the box, there is a 3D effect display of the headset, as well as the main features of the headset, such as DTS Headphone: X space sound, good wearing comfort, 53mm large-size driver unit and 20-hour battery life, the headset supports a two-year warranty and so on.

▲After removing the outer box, you can see that the internal packaging style has changed significantly from the previous blister lining, and the bigger the brand, the higher the degree of "environmental protection"? There is a saying that the new inner packaging is indeed less grade than before, but the headphones are wrapped in light gray foam bags, and the upper and lower boxes are lined, and the bumps and wear problems during transportation do not need to worry. There are also those extravagant players who throw away the box when they get it, and it is estimated that they don't care about this.
Product Accessories:
▲In terms of headphone accessories, in addition to the headphone body, there is another set of user manuals, a set of triple, detachable microphone + sponge sleeve, 2.4GHz wireless receiver and Type-C interface cable, concise and clear. From the accessory point of view, this headset is not equipped with a 3.5mm interface and related cables, it is a pure wireless headset.

Other details highlights:
▲ The entire headband of the headset is wrapped in black leather, and the outside of the head beam is darkly engraved with the English LOGO of the product, and the texture is good.
▲The inside is a leather-wrapped sponge design with softness and hidden inner lock edge treatment. The wide head beam can effectively improve the wearing comfort of the headphones.
▲ Extreme Unknown (HyperX) Tomahawk wireless gaming headset with aluminum alloy frame, rugged and relatively light and comfortable. The left and right ear logos of the headphones are located on the inside of the headphones, and the user can adjust the headband size of the headphones according to their needs, and the damping coefficient is moderate when adjusting, and there is a clear sense of scale.
▲ The shell part of the ear cups is visually made of all plastic material, the surface is a coarse frosted texture, which increases the grip and has a good anti-slip anti-fingerprint ability, compared to the delicate skin-like material of the hand, the individual still prefers this, and it is also easy to take care of and durable. The outside is printed with a red pattern LOGO, which matches the overall rounded shape, looks simple and comfortable, and has an excellent sense of consistency.
▲The ear cushions of the headphones are made of relatively soft leather wrapped memory foam, and the softness is soft and comfortable to the touch. The leather surface is convenient for daily care, but it would be better if there was an extra set of mesh for players to spare in the summer.
▲ Remove the ear cushions of the headphones to see that there is a layer of black sponge inside, Extreme Unknown (HyperX) Tomahawk wireless game headsets equipped with a 53mm large-size driver unit, with DTS Headphone: X spatial sound effects, the combination of software and hardware, can provide players with more extreme sound quality and immersive game video experience.
▲The connection mode of the headset is 2.4GHz wireless connection, and the charging interface is the mainstream Type-C interface, which is convenient and practical. Under the left earcup are integrated a power switch and indicator light, a microphone mute button, and a volume adjustment wheel. The volume roller has a non-slip texture, infinite adjustment, moderate damping, and a clear scale. The power and microphone switches sound one prompt when turned on and turned off twice. The button recessed design of the switch machine and the convex design of the microphone can be easily operated blindly with one hand without taking off the headset, reducing misoperation.
▲ The headset is equipped with a detachable two-way noise-canceling microphone, which allows players to maintain clear and friendly interactions in various complex scenes (squinting laughter). The actual use test sound quality is clear, no bottom noise and no noise, and the anti-spray sponge on the headset also has obvious effects for singing anti-breaking sound.

Wearing comfort:
▲ Wearing comfort is basically no suspense, in all the headphones that the author touched, wearing comfort is the biggest brand feature of HyperX. The soft and wide head beam is in contact with a large area of the top of the head, which can effectively relieve the pressure on the top part of the head. Fully wrapped earmuffs provide good sound insulation and wearing comfort. The overall tightness of the headphones is moderate, and there is no discomfort such as chuck pressed ear pressure when worn for a long time.
DTS Sound Configuration:
▲ As mentioned more than once above, a major feature of this extremely unknown (HyperX) Tomahawk wireless game headset is the free support for DTS sound, DTS software can be downloaded from the Microsoft Store, after downloading to see the price of more than a hundred packages, do not panic, after connecting the headset, you can see the headset has been authorized prompt, rounding feel saves a hundred million.
▲The DTS sound mode of the headset is divided into two modes: DTS Headphone: X and DTS: X Decoder, which correspond to the video and audio usage scenes and game usage scenarios, and the player can choose according to their own needs.
▲ Players can customize the spatial mode through DTS software, and can feel the actual effect of the surround sound effect by dragging the sound source through the software, and I have to say that the sound feedback effect behind and overhead of this spatial sound effect is really good.
Usage test:
▲ As the saying goes, whether it is a golden melon or a silver melon, as long as it is ripe, it is a good melon. No matter how good the appearance and data are, it is only a superficial effort, as a game headset that focuses on immersive experience, the actual game experience is the most important. The game test part of the author is still the enduring classic FPS game "CS:GO", FPS gamers are the highest demand for headphones player group, the game environment sound rendering part, with the excellent quality of the 53mm large-size unit, can be a good way to bring players into the desert battlefield in the tense and exciting game environment, from far and near choking, exposure sound, and wall footstep sound details, are well presented. The accurate sound positioning and feedback is more important, such as the author of the investigator in the picture above, who can judge how many people there are in the B channel through accurate sound details, whether it is Rush B or the trail to turn the middle door, and report the point to other teammates in time to get the combat opportunity.
▲ The benefits of wireless headphones naturally need not be said, to say that the only two concerns players should be the delay and endurance of the headphones. Since the technology of wireless gaming headsets has been very mature over the years, the actual test of this headset has been unable to perceive the sound delay. The official battery life data is 20 hours, the author's daily game video use is not accurately calculated, play for two or three hours after work every day, almost once a week or so, I feel that there is little difference with the official data. And C-port charging is also more convenient, just find a mobile phone charging cable on the line.
Comprehensive evaluation
▲ The last part of the article, first talk about the aspects that I think can be improved again, first of all, the accessories are slightly simple, the ear cushions only have a material of leather that comes with it, if you can have more than one set of mesh material backup, it is better. Secondly, the headset does not seem to support Bluetooth connection, which is inconvenient for mobile gamers to use, which is a pity. As for the configuration of the lighting effect that affects the endurance, it is a matter of opinion, and I personally feel that the LOGO on both sides will be more handsome if it can shine.
However, in summary, this extremely unknown (HyperX) Tomahawk wireless gaming headset, as the latest production positioning mid-range main immersive experience of the game headset, the appearance of the design is simple and beautiful, excellent texture. The workmanship materials and details are in place. While maintaining reliable quality and signature comfort, wireless connectivity and DTS sound are added that are useful for players. It is very competitive in the same level of products, and small partners who need to start wireless gaming headsets recently can pay attention to it. Regarding the details not mentioned in the text of this headset, interested partners can also leave comments, and thank you again for the support of Wu Yanzu, who liked it.
