Patriot Viper V380 RGB Gaming Headset Review

In the past, I’ve been very impressed with several products from Patriot’s Viper line-up. They’ve produced everything from peripherals to memory that have performed very well including their Viper Steel memory we checked out on Modders-Inc. So, when they asked us to take a look at their Viper V380 Gaming headset, I jumped at the opportunity. The Patriot Viper V380 is an ergonomically designed, virtual 7.1 surround sound gaming headset with a detachable boom mic and of course, RGB lighting. But of course, with any gaming headset or audio device, RGB may look cool, however, it’s all about the sound quality. Over the years, I’ve tested dozens of gaming headsets, headphones, earbuds, and soundbars. Far too many times I’ve been disappointed by gaming headsets especially that look great, but sound terrible. However, I have yet to run into a Patriot product that was a disappointment. So, will the Patriot Viper V380 live up to the quality I’ve come to expect from Patriot? Let’s find out.
