It's semi custom locking 3.5mm jack, and the locking mechanism can actually cause an issue with the connectivity

The locking mechanism it uses for it's cable isn't bad but it's just unneeded imo

I can definitely say that I love using them for gaming over all my other headsets (I have at least 5 other pairs), as well as for all sorts of music listening

That means a high dumping factor (>200) speaker amp delivering 50 Watt RMS into 8 OHMS s capable of driving loads down to 2 Ohms and then delivering 100 Watts
