This is a nice dark color. But it can cause some sound to leak and sometimes pick up into your microphone when gaming at high volumes. I bought an 8 because everyone said they ran big. Well what can I say for the money these things are amazing. Ho chiamato Amazon per la sostituzione ma non è possibile farla visto che si tratta di un rivenditore esterno e posso avere solo il rimborso, se la ordino di nuovo la pago a prezzo pieno. We were too lazy to return it, so we just end up superglueing them back together. Literally can?t describe how comfy they are, you have to try them. I loved this idea because I was able to cut and stain them to my liking rather than given boards that were not only precut but colored a certain color. I cant even start to explain the amount of things you can do with it. It was much easier to mount the system than I thought.
