This headphone is good, but not without its flaws. I wanted this headphone because of it price and good reviews; after my old trusty $15 DLAND headphone broke. Let’s get the good things out of the way first- 1. The smooth matte surface on the side feels very good to the touch, the massive cushion is very comfortable and can you can defitnetly use for a long time ( the cushion only have some noise isolation). The mic is decent, but if your using the foam condenser, you might struggle to mute and un mute your mic. This can fit a lot of people because of its flexibility on the headband. The best part of the headphone is the bass. The bass is strong and I can 100% recommend this to music creators. But that brings us to the 1 major flaw of this headphone - gaming. Using this headphone to play CSGO or any games that requires good hearing of footsteps or any sound cues is not gonna work. I don’t know if this is just my unit or in general, but I could barely make out any footsteps compared to my $15 DLAND headphone; and it's the game sound in general. You will barely hear the footsteps, and then once your teammate talks the whole game sound is just complete overtaken. Which the dialogue sound was... ok. It’s mushy. I wanted to buy this headphone to be able to play counter strike again, but now I have to wait another week to buy a new headphone. But at the end of the day, if you’re focused on audio production and you don’t care about gaming, this is a good budget choice; or you can use this for listening to music and you can buy another pair for gaming like all the ballers do :) But unfortunately this will not be part of my setup as I am a middle schooler that just want to play video games lol. I hope this help you in your purchase choice and thank you for reading this big long paragraph that will probably get an F in language arts. -UPDATE- After further testing you just have to turn on the volume a bit and then you can hear the footsteps crips and clear. Five star. Read more

I used a $12 Walmart headset for awhile before this. Surprisingly it actually lasted a long time, but I thought that I needed a new one. It was too much to handle after awhile, it was literally falling apart when I picked it up. That’s when I saw this on sale and decided to give it a try. I’ve only had it about 2 weeks now, but I really like it. The first thing I noticed is comfort. Compared to my old headset, it feels so much more comfortable, the cushions against the head around the ears feel great and the strap on top of the head not only conforms instantly to almost anyone wearing it, but doesn’t feel too loose or too tight. It also cancels almost all noise when I’m gaming; the only time I can hear a sliver of outside sound is when someone comes into my room and has to start talking to me right next to me. I’ve asked my friends and they say that the mic is also way better on this headset than my old one. The headset comes with a splitter so plug into your PC if you need it, so you can use it on a lot of things. The wires and everything feel high quality and I don’t feel like they’ll fray or break on me. And finally, the left side of the headset has a volume adjustment knob. Do you have a subpar computer like me and your keyboard volume knob won’t respond because arma is running so slowly? This is the solution to that. The only con I could see affecting other people is that there’s a mute switch, but it’s on the microphone. I use the pop protection thingy so I don’t have the mic exposed, so I have to take that off, breaking everyone else’s ears in the process, and then mute it. However, I never mute the mic; I always use discord or teamspeak, which have ways for me to mute myself over the app. Ive never had the issue of having to mute myself via the switch on the microphone. Overall, I may not have owned many headsets, but I can say I highly recommend this one to anyone who games for along periods at a time, or who wants some good headphones that will work on many devices. Edit: On Saturday, October 30th, 2021, one side finally died on me. Already bought another pair. I’d say that’s money well spent, at least for the price! Read more
