If you're wondering what the heck was going on with this video, I was testing out the Black Magic ATEM Mini at the same time.

Highlights to this headset include:
A fantastic microphone
Great comfort
Impressive positional audio
USB-C and 3.5mm connection means it'll work with phones and loads of devices
Detachable mic design

Lowlights
Audio is a bit tinny and washed out
Standard kevlar coated cable rubs on clothing and can be heard in the earcup
