Here we have the USB cable it's a good 3 meters, so that is more than plenty. The cable itself is really flexible rubber, not stiff or too sturdy. It is very more comfortable being that soft plus you get the added benefit that it prevents weird noises inside the cup.

Attached to the cable is a nicely looking control pod that lights up when there is USB power. You can turn on/off the MIC and control the volume of the headset per audio channel (main/rear/side/front/center/sub-woofer). once powered on it'll show red LED light traces and indicators.

The kit is sweet alright, nice and comfortable headphones that will cover your ears, the ear-pads have soft leather like material wrapped memory foam that conforms to the contours of your head without binding or pinching. The SR910 is your usual big headset though with circumaural ear coupling, nicely soft padded headband.

You will spot the see through sealed back earcups, but these have five drivers (Neodymium Magnet) per ear cup, 40mm (Sub) 30mm (Front) 30mm (Center) 27mm (Side) 23mm (Rear). I overexposed the photo so you can physically see the five drivers. Obviously G.Skill left the cups transparent so you can see the drivers yourself as this is a bit of a feature to show off. So it offers true multi-channel audio, yet also makes use of Xear. We'll get into it later as really, as that is an optional virtualized surround layer.

The inner ear cups are very softly padded, the headset might not be light, but it is very comfortable to wear, for a long time frame as well so that weight really is not an issue.

G.Skill TridentZ 5 DDR5 5600 CL36 review
G.Skill has prepared very well for launching a new memory standard and has presented three DDR5 series: the Trident Z5 (5600-6400 MHz), the Trident Z5 RGB (the same range as the non-RGB’s), and the Ripjaws S5 (5200-5600 MHz). They all come in 32 GB kits (2 x 16 GB), and their frequency is higher than the base 4800 MHz. Today, we are checking the G.Skill TridentZ5 5600 MHz CL36 DDR5 kit. It’s not the high-end of the series, as even the 6400 MHz CL32 are available, and the 5600 MHz is the lowest frequency you can get from this DDR5 family.

G.Skill Z5i (Mini ITX) chassis review
This time, we're checking out the G.Skill Z5i, the first chassis from a company known the most from the RAM. Some can remember that there's an AIO (Enki) available, as well as the keyboards (like KM360), mice (and mousepad), headsets, or PSUs. The attempt is made in a not-so-popular segment, meaning the Mini-ITX (so that's one of the reasons for the mentioned limit). This choice is a brave one as it's not so easy to create a good product here. Yes, it's gaining the share, but the ATX is dominating (maybe we'll also see something from G.Skill?).
