G.SKILL RIPJAWS SR910 Real 7.1 Gaming Headset Review

Looking Around the RIPJAWS SR910 Real 7.1

The RIPJAWS SR910 headset uses a large circumaural design for the purpose of audio isolation. The plastic floating headband is a one-size-fits-all solution that eliminates the hassle of adjusting headband length. The upper band is made of metal for bending out to the sides.

The earcups connect to the headband each with a hinge that can nearly rotate in any direction if it were not for the red cable coming out above the earcup.

Each earcup is quite stylish with a red ring surrounding the clear plastic window revealing the insides. Behind the window we can see the bright and steadily illuminated G.SKILL logo over the five drivers. There are no custom lighting effects that can be assigned.

G.SKILL has gone with a retractable microphone that can be rolled away and cleanly hidden from sight.

The padding is covered with a leatherette and filled with memory foam that makes it plush to touch. The padding is important for conforming and then distributing the pressure evenly against the head.

The in-line volume control is positioned roughly halfway along the 10 foot cable length. With this, the user can mute the microphone, control the main volume, or toggle to control the volume of each surround sound channel. Red lights on the panel light on or off to indicate what settings are being changed.

The remote module measures 4.25 x 3.25 x 0.75 inches and sits in place on the desk with the help of two feet.
