Today I will be taking a look at the 250P gaming headset from Thrustmaster and while this range does include models that are designed specially for both the Xbox and the PC, the model I am testing today is for PlayStation 3 and PC. Thrustmaster has a long history with games consoles, peripherals and by association, audio products, which comes from the Hercules brand. Thrustmaster is part of the Guillemot Corporation, as too are Hercules and with such a specific history behind the two parts of Guillemot I have high hopes for the performance of the 250P headset, both in terms of how well it applies to gaming and how it holds up terms of audio quality. However much I expect from this headset I can’t really ask too much of it, with a price tag of around £45 from many major online retailers I doubt that its going to be setting any new records in terms of design, performance or build quality. This might not sound like a promising start, but that’s ok for so many reasons. While we would all love high-end gaming peripherals, high spec gaming headsets and a budget to match, that really isn’t how the real world works and there is no denying that the market for a budget friendly headset is huge. It’s also common knowledge that the PlayStation 3, unlike the Xbox 360, doesn’t come with a pre-packed headset, not even a really cheap one and for some people, they simply want something cheap that will work, either way, there is a lot of room in the market for both high-end and budget friendly models.
