I love the minimalistic appearance of the earbuds, emblazoned with the Final Hexcomb logo.

This is tactile and clicky, and very easy to press.

For less intense titles, the VR500 are also unparalleled.

Footsteps and positional audio were very clear, helping me to gain a tactical advantage over my enemies.

Music

The binaural audio works just as brilliantly for music, too.

This is because of how the VR500 separates out different instruments and audiotracks to almost simulate a live performance.

The same is true for the atmospheric soundtracks inThe Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

It all flows very seamlessly, again thanks to the binaural qualities of the earbuds.

I listened to Death and Romance by Magdelena Bay, and I was blown away by the quality.
