The battery is listed at 70 hr, and pro-tuned FPS profiles with custom EQ are listed for competitive play.

The spec table lists the item weight as 1152 g, a figure that appears nowhere in the title or bullets; treat it as unconfirmed and check the listing before judging comfort.

Who it is for: competitive players who want a CS2-branded wireless headset with low-latency 2.4GHz and ANC. Who should skip it: anyone who wants a confirmed weight figure or a wired-only setup.
