Frankly, I wasn\u2019t expecting much in this debut headset from a company known mostly for making PC cases, but it\u2019s one of the most thoughtfully-designed models that I\u2019ve tried recently.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">If you\u2019re in the market for an elegant headset that sounds great and docks to recharge (keeping cable clutter to a minimum on your desk), I suggest checking out the Black Friday special on the Scape. The discount on these initially brought them down to $169.99, but you can now snag a pair at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Fractal-Design-Scape-Flip-Mute\/dp\/B0D5HGK3C2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/product\/1901247-REG\/fractal_design_fd_hs_sca1_01_scape_dark_wireless_rgb.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">B&amp;H Photo<\/a> in both black and gray for $139.99, which is $60 off the usual price.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-block\">\n<h3>Fractal Scape gaming headset<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"product-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/257987_Fractal_Scape_CFaulkner_0008.jpg?w=300\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<h3>Where to Buy:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Fractal-Design-Scape-Light-Flip\/dp\/B0D5HK6JRS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <strike>$199.99<\/strike> $139.99 at <strong>Amazon (gray)<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Fractal-Design-Scape-Light-Flip\/dp\/B0D5HGK3C2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <strike>$199.99<\/strike> $139.99 at <strong>Amazon (black)<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/product\/1901247-REG\/fractal_design_fd_hs_sca1_01_scape_dark_wireless_rgb.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <strike>$199.99<\/strike> $139.99 at <strong>B&amp;H Photo<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The Scape doesn\u2019t do it all; it lacks active noise cancellation, it can\u2019t pair via 2.4GHz and Bluetooth simultaneously, and its ear cups don\u2019t swivel. That all would have been nice, but I\u2019m still eager to recommend it for its great sound quality, sharp Scandinavian design, and because its browser-based settings customization is very good. Also, I have a soft spot for its Digital Crown-like knob used for adjusting volume and for pausing or skipping songs. At $140, it\u2019s hard to do better than the Scape.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\"><em><strong>Update, November 29th: <\/strong>Adjusted the price to note they\u2019re even cheaper right now.<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Earlier this year, I reviewed the Fractal Scape, a wireless gaming headset made for PC (also compatible with Switch 2) [&hellip;]<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1795","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-non-classe"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1795","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1795"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1795\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1795"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1795"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1795"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
