  • 60 mm/2.36” drivers for the most powerful bass available in the console gaming market.

Meanwhile, the Y-300CPX isn’t to be scoffed at either. It is the high-fidelity stereo version of the more expensive 350CPX. They say it enjoys the perfect balance bass, mids and treble and for 49.99 it sounds great pair of headphones. Other features include:

  • Unidirectional, detachable and adjustable microphone, for perfect customization.
  • 50 mm/1.97” drivers.
  • Exclusive double electro-acoustic bass amplification technology.
  • Multifunctional controller to adjust the game’s audio levels, as well as the bass level.

And do not fear that these headphones won’t work with a specific console because they are universal across PS4, Xbox One and PC. And yes they work on mobile and Switch too.

These headphones will be available to purchase on the release day of Far Cry 5 with the cheaper model costing £49.99 and the unit with the built-in audio unit and surround sound costing £89.99.
