I just got my Kingston Hyperx

They make some really nice products, very good quality, and they are super comfortable. This new model with 7.1 looks just as nice, maybe that will be my next set. I recommend it highly, most memorable part of my purchase… there is like a “new car smell” when I first opened the box, it was great.
