As it turns out, the Precog’s excellent specs on paper translated to a headset that has spectacularly good sound quality for its price. While the Precog’s sound doesn’t quite match the openness and bass response of the HD 558 with a decent amp, it comes impressively close considering that the Precog is much less expensive. Compared to the now discontinued Game Zero headset, the Precog has better bass response and clarity, which is likely helped by the Precog’s lower impedance. The Precog’s dual driver setup also seems to benefit the headset’s clarity significantly, and the headset can play crystal clear highs over powerful mids and deep lows without significantly muddling the sound. Even when just driven by the built-in audio chip of a phone, the Precog is one of the best sounding headsets I’ve heard so far.
