Test conditions
In our headset
tests, especially the microphone one, we subjectively describe acoustics, microphone quality
as well as the ergonomics. The end result therefore relies also on the tester himself.
We are doing our best to ensure comparable results even if different reviewers
are testing
different products. We think that these reviews can be seen as a help if you like to buy
a specific product and can therefore be seen as subjective consumer advice.

Wearing confort and ergonomics
The Verto headset from Tt eSPORTS is very comfortable and lightweight, mostly thanks to the used materials and the soft ear cushions. The headband features a small amount of rubber which is very good, rather soft and pleasant to the touch. The headphones are mainly
made from aluminum
and the overall quality is on a good level so you should not be able to find any manufacturing mistakes at all, something that we certainly expected from Tt eSPORTS. On the exterior of the pavilions there is the famous Thermaltake logo and the entire surface is made of soft touch. The headband can not be extended but it will self adjust to your head. The cable is removable and it is rather long and covered with a cable sleeve of excellent quality.
The Verto is a stereo gaming headset equipped with two 3.5mm audio jacks and a very good bundle. Inside the package
you can find a remote contol, extender cable and a padded pouch.

Acoustics
Headphone
Tt eSPORTS decided to equip the Verto Cloud with two 40 millimeters drivers, which should be able to guarantee a good sound experience. We tested the Tt eSPORTS Verto with a wide variety of music, movies and games. Despite our initial fears, the Verto headset was a rather pleasant surprise and the sound is, in our opinion, well balanced. During our tests we found
that it has great reproduction of highs, mids and bass, and Tt eSPORTS certainly did a good job from this point of view. Mids and highs are very accurate and crisp while the bass
sound is well balanced and not too hard. Only on high-volume, we found some distortion in the audio quality. If you love the deep and pumped bass, you can still raise the tone through the equalizer.
Microphone
The microphone is placed on a flexible arm and is not removable.
The Verto headset also comes with a handy remote control with which you can adjust the sound volume and mute/unmute the microphone.
The support of the microphone is quite flexible and with memory effect, so it
will definetely serve its purpose on events and LAN parties. When we were using
the headset for gaming, we noticed that voice clear and very well
understandable. Basically it's the way you want it to be with a recent gaming
headset.

Conclusion
Overall, the Verto headset is a good product. The build quality and the
used materials are excellent and we did not expect anything less from Tt eSPORTS (Thermaltake).
The headset aso features a classy design, with elegant lines and is very easy to carry. Both earcups can be rotated
by 90 degress and the headset requires only 4 centimeters in height. The headset
also features a very good bundle. The soft cushions as well as the headband fit nicely and you will not experience any pressure points even with glasses or 3D goggles. The auto adjusting headband is
very comfortable. In our opinion, one of the biggest points of any headset is how it fits
on your head, and this headset perfoms very well. The perception of audio is certainly a matter of subjectivity but, in our opinion, the sound is well balanced. We can say that the Verto offers good sound quality, without over-pronounced bass. The earpads that surround the 40 millimeter drivers are comfortable and with a good passive isolation.
The microphone is not detachable but is made of flexible plastic and with memory effect. The overall quality is good and the sound captured is clean and natural.
Checking prices on Geizhals.at we found that the Verto headset is listed at 70 Euro and we believe that for a premium headset with aluminum frame
it represents a good value for money. It is not only the musical presentation and the sound stage
that are good, but also the build quality is perfect. The Tt eSPORTS Verto gets
a good 4.5 out of 5 stars.
