EKSA E1000 V2 Gaming Headset PC Headset with USB C Plug Wired Headphones with Noise Canceling Microphone 7

I bought this headset in Feb 2021, and I am writing this review in April 2025. This headset was a part of my first PC setup, so I was a very casual gamer. For a $30 headset, this is a great budget pick that has lasted me all this time with absolutely no issues. It is comfortable and light. Goes around my ears and doesn't apply a lot of pressure on my head. Durability has held itself up well, too. Only within the past few months, I noticed the leather covering on the padding start to peel and shed. A little annoying, but doesn't impact functionality. Impressive it's lasted this long as someone who regularly games every night. The sound quality is a 4/5. I'm not an audiophile, and this is considering the price point. The only thing is the sound isolation/directional noises fall a little flat, which is something to consider if you are an FPS gamer. TLDR: Great budget pick for casual gamers/users. Impressive durability and comfort. Would pick something else for fps or competitive gamers in terms of sound quality. Read more

The EKSA E1000 USB Gaming Headset exceeded my expectations! The 7.1 surround sound is amazing—super immersive for gaming, and I didn’t even need to download anything. Just plug and play! The microphone is crystal clear, and the noise cancellation really helps during in-game chats or Zoom calls. I also love how comfortable the headset is. The ear cushions are soft, and the adjustable headband makes it perfect for long gaming sessions. The RGB lighting is a cool touch too. It works flawlessly on both my PC and PS5. With the long cable and 2-year warranty, this headset is a total win. Highly recommend! Read more

I bought these headphones in September 2023 (it is December 2023 at the time of writing this) and I have had little to no issues with them! They fit perfect, the sound is great, I can't hear anybody talking around me so I'm guessing the noise cancellation is working well, but I have a few issues with it. Firstly, the wire. The cord is made of some soft material instead of the traditional rubber, which was fine at first, but over time it started to coil around itself and start tearing for some reason. No rubber wire I've used has done this, and it sucks trying to pull on the cord to get it to straighten out just for it to go right back to coiling around itself again. The wire that's poking out isn't a huge issue at the moment, but it just keeps getting worse over time. Secondly, the mute switch. It doesn't work at all anymore. I haven't dropped these headphones, haven't messed with its wiring other than the coiling issue, haven't done anything to harm the headphones in any way, yet the switch to mute my microphone just suddenly stopped working. Flipping it to mute still allows people to hear what I'm saying, and flipping it to unmute does the same, which is a bit odd. Finally, the instructions to set up 7.1 audio are either outdated or just wrong. I have a Windows 10 computer, and the tag on the cord is meant for a Windows computer, yet I cannot find anything regarding the 7.1 audio anywhere on my computer, even after researching for an hour and a half. I'm not sure if the 7.1 audio even works because of this, or if the headphones just don't support it at all, but there is no indication on what I'm supposed to do to enable it on my computer. Overall, other than the three issues above, I really like these headphones and will continue using them until the wire decides to break one day. The bass is amazing, the sound quality and volume is great, and the fit is perfect. Solid 7.5/10 Read more

They're really good for the price. Mic kinda gives the muffled voice effect but it's not that bad. Sound is good and they can get really loud to where I can't call for my daughter anymore, I have to physically enter her room to get her attention.. Read more

I got a set of these headsets last year and they work very well! I reordered another set recently and overall, they're perfect for the music, gaming and programming I use them for on my PC and laptop. Unlike many PC headphones or headsets, they are either connected via USB and a old fashioned mini-headphone connection making many headsets with mics basically useless for my needs because my personal PC/Personal Computer's mini-headphone jack does not work and last year I got a set of th ese EKSA E1000 USB powered headsets and they worked perfect! So, I ordered more and got them recently and works great. They are only USB powered and the mic works via just the single USB connection.....perfect! They have some lighting on the headset themselves, but not overboard....just fine for my likings. The USB connection cord is pretty decent and at least 3 or 4 feet in length. The mic swings in front of your mouth/face by hand only when you need to record items or chat on videos via the personal computer or laptop. For the price....which is pretty decent....you get a pretty good set of headsets with a mic [if ever needed] that has pretty good music qualities and with padded headsets cups over your ears, you'll be just fine wearing them for a hour or so. Yes, these headsets are adjustable and also have padding on the ear cups and topside so your head will be padded too. 5 stars I rate these decent EKSA stereo PC headsets. But it's just my opinion.

Perfect product for the price. The quality of the headset is okay, not too much bass. The microphone isn't too good or too bad either. I had an issue where the microphone would go out if you kept speaking for a while. You get what you pay for. Read more

These headphones are affordable and the best ones I've ever used. Mine finally broke thanks to my dog a few months ago and I bought a new set. They stopped working after a few weeks and it was past the Amazon return window. I contacted ESKA and they sent me out a new pair ASAP. Read more

I needed to use it immediately and it worked like a charm, to include noise canceling and volume control. I would absolutely recommend this to someone who may work in a DataCenter and may have to speak on the phone or computer while working. Read more
