I have had this headset for about 4 months now and all I can say is that this headset regardless of the ear cooling is amazing. Ive owned a logitech g series which in my opinion is not comparable, but regardless this Omen headset is crazy. From the built in software to the sounds quality to even the microphone output quality.

I haven't had the chance to try the Game One's, but looking at the design and price, I wouldn't be too far off to think they're based off the higher end 500 Sennheisers. With the ModMic they do bring more value to the 598. ModMic itself is a great value since you can mount it to at least 2 different headphones (since it comes with 2 mounting magnets).

[@christiaanventer8183]

That heat pump mechanism is named Peltier, and I would have skimmed a slim heat fin design on the outside to improve surface area and keep the surface from getting so hot and thus draw less power. I'm imagining having a similar design in a gaming mouse, with a large surface area under your palm and a thin fan drawing air and pushing heat out the front.

This is one of the best purchase I have made. I get sweaty ears with my noise cancelling headphones (Beats Studio, Bose 35 and B&O Beoplay) With these i am able to ware for long periods of time and keep my ears cool and comfortable and they don’t feel heavy on your head.

[@e21big]

It may be more interesting if the cooling profile can be adjusted via a physical switch and not software and come with active noise canceling feature. I probably don't want it for game or home usage (I prefer open back headphone for that too) but for traveling or walking around the city (or in office space when you don't exactly want your co-workers to hear whatever you are watching on the internet), the active cooling headphone made a lot of sense. I live in a very hot place so I almost never use close back headphone at all unless I was in an air-conditioned place and this headphone could just a perfect solution for this environment

This would actually be a great idea if you lived in a hot climate (we are moving into summer here in Australia and it can hit 40 degrees C or 104F on a hot day) I am actually more impressed with the fact that this works at all since this kind of cooling tech usually requires way more power than I imagined the audio port is capable of pushing.

[@syd_jzx100]

[@aries2857]

Can confirm this headset is great. I was using a Logitech G Pro before using these and I can't go back. I tried them on again because I was using them with a controller, but my ears and the side of my head get so war with the G Pro. The cooling on these is fantastic. Also, this video is getting pretty old at this point. The Software pointed out in the video has had significant updates, and I can confirm that there is an EQ feature that is quite usable. Just be sure to turn off the surround sound.

i live in Australia where it gets in the 30-40 Degree C (80-100F ?) regularly during summer and i have never had my ears get to uncomfortably hot or even noticeably hot with my closed back fostex th-x00 (which has large leatherette cushions.) without aircon sitting in a small enclosed room with my PC also heating up the room for multiple hours in a day. I mean its an interesting idea but just seems gimmicky. maybe I'm just used to the heat or whatever but even I don't need this. this has never been a problem for me. i know some people get really sweaty which I don't so there is probably a few people that would benefit.

P.S the mute beeping can be turned on in the software driver setting.
