From the headset.

I've seen these online in their non pro form without the additional device so surely if they are detachable, it doesn't matter if the device is included or not as it's just a paid extra?

The Vulcans have a detachable cable from the headset itself which is the way forward.

Thanks for clearing that up.

I understand it's not geared towards gaming as much, ANC is not a big deal for me as all reviews i've read online state that it's not a great feature on the Vulcan as it makes the audio quality worse and the passive noise cancelling is enough on its own.

So if this Orion was detached from the Spitfire, how long of a cable are we talking about here?

2.5m is the stated length, is that what the cable is before it is attached to the spitfire?

It is a shame that a fully detachable cable design wasn't implemented because it means there is now a weak point that can easily break after a period of wear and tear that will make the headphones totally useless.

It also means that despite this model being made lighter and more arguably more attractive for using outside the home, they are not as portable (cable wise) as they could of been.

Can i assume this device has the same 2 year limited warranty as the Vulcan?

Is wear and tear of the cable joints covered under the warranty?

Apologies for all the questions but since it's on sale early, i may just get it anyway.

Thank you so much.

I think i will wait for your front page review, i'm hoping it's as good in sound quality as the Vulcan, if it is, i'll snap it up and deal with the long cable.

For future models of the Orion i believe a detachable cable would be ideal for their light and stylish appearance since it has a standard 3.5 jack, it means people can use the standard long cable at home, but swap it out for a much shorter cable when on the move.

If you guys really wanted to up your game and make the best gaming headset (nay, best headset ever made), make something that looks as good as the Orion with the same amazing sound quality / passive noise isolation of the Vulcan and add 5.8 ghz wireless, bluetooth + cable connections to create the ultimate high end headset model ever made.

Throw in triple A removable batteries too and i'd pay what ever you want to charge, lol

I only mention this because i spent a good 8 hours straight yesterday looking all over the internet for the best gaming headset around and all the wireless models are favored towards consoles and don't take into consideration that there are still PC gamers that need a the ultimate headset with removable rechargeable batteries and still have full microphone capability.

I'm looking for something that unfortunately doesn't exist yet, the closest i can find it the Turtlebeech Earforce PX5 in which i am currently a very unhappy owner of.

They have good sound quality, detachable adjustable mic, removable batteries, bluetooth and wifi which is all great, they just have terrible range (half a metre from the receiver) and i believe this is due to the fact they are susceptible to interference being they are on the 2.4ghz frequency range and being in London i have over 5 neighbors 2.4 ghz wifi signals pass through my house.

They have a 5.8ghz model but unfortunately they have decided to go with built in battery packs that can't be removed, a very annoying decision simply because once the charge is depleted, you're stuck on a cable for 3-8 hours whilst charging (and i use my headset all waking weekend).

None of their models offer sound isolation either which is something i want as i share my room with noisy people and it would also be great to be on public transport with warm ears in winter whilst not having to hear the noises of the public and vice versa, me annoying strangers with my loud music.

I know i've babbled on but not one manufacture does everything i want and it's getting frustrating.

Even if the Orion 2 has a detachable lead, wireless is the future (i currently use a bluetooth adapter combined with sony in ear headphones that offer very little noise leakage protection and of course no ear warming functionality during winter) 😞

Anyhoo thanks for listening and i look forward to your upcoming review, you can move this topic to the Orion section once it's up and running 🙂
