Very good headphones for the money!
If you’re looking for a semi budget gaming headphones, please consider this ones as a good option. After several hours of using them I could tell many things to take in consideration regarding audio, construction materials and software. I’ll explain them in the same order:- The audio sign let’s say, is V shaped. They are good for gaming but not so balanced for listening music so your best bet is to use an equalizer to rise frequencies between 1.2k and 2.8k. The response for high frequencies could result a bit more than desired, in my case I lowered them from the 6.4k to 20k by 1dB o 2dB. Each ear is different so your best bet is to try them and balance them according to your needs. Bass frequencies (20-180Hz) are strong enough to tickle your ears.- The materials using for it’s construction seems to be a bit fragile, so take care of them properly and don’t stress the headphones too much when stretching them to fit them in your head. Other than that, time will tell.- Regarding the software… The surrond software included with them is just that, just an option to turn it on or off, the real deal is the THX Spatial that will be offered as upgrade later (which could count as a value increase for this item). THX Spatial could seem to be great at first use until you start comparing the original sound vs the one with spatial and start noticing the sounds are completely mixed up. For example, games like Quake Champions could result in a disaster of loud music, low player sounds and no positional sounding at all. In other games like Hellblade Senua’s Sacrifice it’s not bad at all but it could be a bit muffled or it simple sounds different (not good as it changes the original experience).For me, the big deal is to use Equalizer APO and HeSuVi (both free and open source) as equalizer and surround virtualization apps, even with a VST reverb in the EQ. Now the sound GREAT, you will have plenty of options to configure EQ profiles for your headphones and squeeze it’s real potential using virtual 7.1. Both apps could take you a bit of time to learn how to using them but completely worth the time spent.And a plus, this headphones includes a split connector so they can easily be used with a PC (my current usage), with a console or even with your phone with its mic as a handsfree device (it has the mic+stereo audio type jack).

Truly lightweight, clear sound, clear mic
Full discretion, I’ve only had this one day. If something changes, I’ll come back and edit this review.Pros:It is truly as lightweight as they claim. It feels almost like you’re not wearing a headset at all. I have a small-to-average size head for a guy and I use the smallest headband adjustment. It doesn’t feel like it’s tight on my head.The sound — especially with Windows Sonic turned on — is not bad at all. It’s not as immersive as a pair of wireless Wyze headphones that I have, but it’s pretty close. The directional sound in these things are pretty great too. Sometimes it really does sound like someone is walking/talking behind me when I’m in apps that allow directional sound.The microphone is pretty neat. It’s very responsive. Everyone I asked in meetings today said that I sounded very clear. It doesn’t cancel noise very well at all, though. I sit about 3-4′ away from a computer enclosure that has 2 pretty loud fans. I turned the “listen” mode on in the Windows Sound Control Panel, and I could hear the fans whirring pretty good. It got quite a bit better, though, when I turned the sensitivity down in the control panel. So, with some tweaking, maybe it would cancel sound just fine.One other thing I like is that the sound controls are build into the earcup instead of inline with the cable. The headset that I returned to get this one had the controls inline, and I was constantly getting it hung on my chair, pressing it with my chest into my desk, catching it on this-or-that. It was very annoying, so I’m glad this one has just a straight cable.It’s a small thing, but I also like that the cable connected with a 90-degree connector instead of a straight plug. I can see how this would lead to the longevity of the headset because it’s a lot harder to refract the cable beyond its limits if it is already at a 90.One last positive thing: the box was is pristine condition. It was shipped as though they cared about the product: tons of air cushions, there was a dehumidifying packet in with the headset, it was in plastic, inside a cardboard spacer, inside a box, inside tissue paper. Someone really spent some effort trying to make sure this thing was everything it is supposed to be.Cons:- The cord could be longer. It feels like it might be 5, 6 feet maximum. It’s enough for me, but just barely. When I stand up at my desk, I can just barely turn my head.- I’ve only enabled this with Windows Sonic turned on (the Windows version of Dolby Atmos), my machine gets very laggy. It’s an i7 with 16 GB of RAM, so it’s not a wimpy laptop by any stretch. The CPU gets interrupted at a very high clip.

I guess with a title like that it seems a bit of a stretch but it’s the truth. I’ve had this headset for over a year now and it’s lasted without any problems.Pros:- great noise cancelling!! Can’t even hear my own keyboard, but at the same time just be wary that it’s really good at noise cancelling- comfortable for long uses. Never felt any pain or discomfort- has a mic- durable (I’m a pretty clumsy person who can break a lot of things accidentally, but these headphones have stood the test of time)- good sound !!!
