Packaging / What’s In The Box
Thermaltake’s SHOCK One is encased in a very stylish box with nice graphics, and a foldable front lid that exposes a big window. The front has a picture of the headset along with its core features such as a noise cancelling mic, replaceable ear pads, bass enhancement, foldable design, and of course DTS Surround Sensation.
