"Not many gaming headsets have a Scandinavian minimalist aesthetic, which is why Fractal's $199.99 Scape caught my eye. Like many of Fractal's PC cases, this headset looks more sophisticated than you might expect from gaming gear, with clean lines and simplistic color schemes that might blend in better with your furniture and desk setup."
"The fit and finish are impressive for a first-gen device from a company with no lineage in audio hardware. Its sleek design comes in gray or black, with minimal LEDs that add a subtle glow around the bottom edge of the ear cups (these are the first LEDs in a headset I haven't wanted to immediately switch off)."
"It has a chunkier version of Apple's Digital Crown on the back of its left ear cup. The knob controls volume and can be clicked to pause and resume content (double- or triple-clicking skips and reverses songs, respectively). This headset features a button on its right ear cup that lets you toggle between three premade audio equalizer settings. It's great to have these controls on the hardware, not just buried within a companion app. And configuring the Scape feels as elegant as using it. Everything -including customizing those EQ preset"
Fractal's Scape is a $199.99 wireless headset that brings a Scandinavian minimalist aesthetic to gaming audio, with clean lines and subdued color options that integrate with home setups. The first-generation device delivers impressive fit and finish despite Fractal's lack of audio lineage. Minimal LEDs provide a subtle glow, while a chunky rotary knob on the left ear cup controls volume and playback with click actions. A right-ear-cup button toggles between three onboard EQ presets, keeping key controls on the hardware rather than buried in software. The headset performs well for both work and gaming, ranking highly within its price class.
