Introduction

If you're at all into gaming peripherals, you definitely know about Fnatic, a professional esports brand that's been around for over 15 years, competing in games such as CS:GO, Dota 2, Apex Legends, Fortnite, League of Legends, and R6 Siege, and releasing gaming keyboards, mice, and mouse pads under its name. Recently, Fnatic decided to expand their portfolio with the React, their first gaming headset.

All of that for a reasonable price of $75/€70. In this review, we'll examine whether they managed to pull it off!
