Fnatic Gear Duel Modular Gaming Headset Review

Audio/Others by stefan @ 2017-02-15

The Fnatic Gear Duel is hands-down the most interesting headset we have tested so far in our labs in terms of modularity. Thanks to the innovative design from AIAIAI, the product can be disassembled to the last bit, in order to obtain a configuration which will better suit our current needs.

Packaging, A Closer Look Part I

After covering keyboard and mouse gaming peripherals from Fnatic Gear, it is now time to check out what they have in store in the audio segment: for this Duel project, Fnatic Gear has made a cooperation with AIAIAI audio pioneers in order to create a custom version of their TMA-2 Modular model. AIAIAI does have multiple versions of this headset available on their website such as BNR Edition, All-Round Preset, DJ Preset, Monitor Preset and more; Fnatic Gear went with the same interesting design but aimed for a sound signature more suited for gaming and music purposes. The product is shipped in a compact cardboard enclosure, showing the Gaming Configuration on the top cover:

After lifting the top cover, we have observed something interesting: all the modular components of the Fnatic Gear Duel headset are supplied in separate black sealed plastic bags:

 

 

 

We’ve got two separate sets of earpads and the speaker units:

 

 

 

Moving on, we can find the cable that includes the boom microphone but also a separate bag with the headband:

 

 

 

The manufacturer also supplies a secondary cable, with an on-cable microphone assembly:

 

 

 

For traveling purposes, Fnatic Gear has also included a drawstring pouch:

 

 

 

This one carries an obvious Fnatic Gear logo in the corner:
