What I don't really understand about the headset industry is....why these types of units exist at all? Pretty much the best headsets any gamer could ask for (HyperX Cloud II as an example or even the Corsair VOID PRO to relate closer to the article) are like available between $75-120 which is so little in this industry/hobby. If you are a budget-conscious person you will likely go for a cheap headset as required but something like this isn't enough less than the big boys...who wouldn't just spend the extra few dollars?

Ehhh...$50 USD I've found them for without the DAC attachment...Not sure if that's a great deal. The Logitech g230 headset I bought did not come with a DAC attachment for any type of amplifying, and does not get too loud and the mic isn't all that great...

I think it's quite common that a specific price point is just about what a gamer can afford versus the next tier, there is always something better anyway. I wouldn't be surprised that there are a lot of gamers who just want something that sounds OK but is comfortable enough and that's why this headset was made.
