Patriot Memory Viper V380 (PV3807UMXEK)

Back to the Future

Patriot Viper V380 is a closed-type gaming headphone, or rather a stereo headset with a microphone. The outer bowls are made rectangular to highlight the futuristic design. The inner ear pads are made of eco-leather and have an anatomical oval shape. Neodymium Hi-Fi speakers with a diameter of 53 mm and a resistance of 64 Ohms are responsible for a wide frequency range of sound. The volume control and microphone mute button are located directly on the earcups.

Connect to a desktop PC or Viper V380 laptop via a USB plug. This was done to power the built-in sound card in the headphones with support for virtual 7.1 surround sound. This is in demand both in shooter games, in order to clearly hear which side the enemy is coming from, and in horror films for a greater immersion effect. But without a Mini-Jack connector, you most likely will not be able to connect to a game console or smartphone.

Bright head

In addition, the LED RGB lighting of the Viper V380 bowls is powered via USB. To configure the color and flicker mode, as well as the full functioning of 7.1-channel audio, you must install the Viper Software driver. It also includes the active noise reduction function of the headset’s unidirectional microphone, which, by the way, is made flexible and easily removable.

No extraneous noise

The closed design of the Patriot Viper V380 bowls allows you not to hear extraneous external sounds, and the noise reduction of the microphone prevents your interlocutors from hearing the same sounds in a work chat or teammates in multiplayer games. The rigid steel headband ensures that the ear pads are pressed tightly against the head and generally increases the strength of the structure. If the presence of 7.1-channel sound and RGB backlighting is not important for you, then take a closer look at the more affordable and, most importantly, universal (PC, smartphone, console) stereo headset Patriot Viper V330.
