What headset is this?

[TheOutfit]

I'm just wondering what this headset is?

 

Thanks

I can’t tell based off looks, but what player/team is that? (that is a pro game, right?)

IMO, it looks like he's actually wearing earbuds under noise reduction ear muffs (you can see the cable going under the ear pad along his skin), coupled with a magnetic microphone like the ModMic.

That"s Skadoodle when he was on Cloud9, at the CSGO 2018 boston major

In the picture, I think this^ is what he is using.

 

It seems that he usually uses the logitech g933 or some hyperx headsets now though.

Hey there. Headset is the Plantronics GameCom Commander, but rehashed for ELEAGUE.

Key Similarities:

• Knob at the base of the headset that connects the mic to the earmuff.
• Angled wires holding the earmuffs to the headband.

If you're looking to purchase the set, I'm afraid I don't have any links for you. It's not even listed on Plantronics's site (formerly Plantronics, now Poly).

Iirc, some pro COD players use to say they would use a headset for game audio and then have earbuds in underneath it for team chat.

Most likely here's what happens:

The event (or rarely team) has a hardware partner/sponsor that requires the use of their gear on stage. However, the team wants to use gear they know. So they place IEMs under the headphone. This is also why sometimes you see teams wearing a pair of headphones with a second pair around their neck at events.

 

Every event and team is different, with different rules. It can be hard to navigate as a company/brand and I can't imagine it's easier as a player or manager!
