Kingston also gave the Revolver a completely new mic, with similar directionality but supposedly much better sound quality than the previous one. Visually, the Revolver is a pretty big departure, with a steel suspension above the headband and very different earcups. They have a bit of a plasticky look and feel, but I was happy to see that Kingston avoided the fad of RGB LED lighting (that you can’t see!) on their headset. That should help keep the price down.
The headset isn’t completely finalized just yet, but should be available in Q2 this year, with the price near $120 for stereo and $150 for USB. As usual, the actual street price on Amazon could vary, and we expect the Revolver will still have some stiff competition from its $80 progenitor.
