Im doing the same… but its so tempting…

Its not intentional as much as it is a cost savings

Thats mostly because the vast majority of IR lights and led’s also emit visable light. To get an ir light to not also emit within the visable light spectrum is much more expensive.

I love it… but honestly, i spend 99% of my time on desktop, so this just doesn’t help me.

They will still be making some of the best headphones on the planet. Its worth noting that their best headphones, are not “gaming” headphones. The only thing that makes a headphone labled as gaming is the inclusion of a mic (and possibly rgb or cat ears if your a psyocopath who cares more about looks than the sound that cones out). There are plenty of clip on microphones or in line microphones that could be used beside any set of headphones.
