This is (really) a fantastic wired headset for the entry level market
5/5

It was relatively cheap for what it offered, so my expectations were low. With my previous wireless headset, a Corsair Virtuoso SE, I had an excellent mic and very good sound, but the connection between the headset and my PS4 was never very solid and I noticed frequent audio drop-outs. The three consoles are a big hit among friends who own PS4s. I was planning on trying it out with the controller and found a 3. 5mm jack on it.

Build Quality

One of the first things that strikes you about this headset is how lightweight it comes. The materials are not as premium as one would expect from a headset at this price point. The headset feels somewhat solid. The fact that it is so light also makes it very comfortable. In my experience, heavier headsets generally can lead to neck pain, but if that is a concern, the light materials should be ideal for long term usage. Compared with the other parts, the part that is against your head feels a little bit My experience with these so far suggests that I will not have any problems wearing them for an extended period of time. My grip is just right to prevent them from falling off accidentally, but not to the point where I feel like I am in the grip of a death machine. I used the mic while making some calls, but no one believed I was wearing a headset, which I believe to be a great compliment to the quality of the mic. Your phone actually seems to be the device through which you spoke. 1) Overall, the mic performs exceptionally well. The audio quality was my biggest concern, but I was actually surprised how well things unfolded. While neither of these headphones topped the other in terms of vocals or detail retrieval, the Razer wasn't entirely a bad choice either. I liked that it contained a clear, present bass without sounding It does seem like the Corsair Virtuoso had a more richer sound, but it was ruined by a spotty connection. The gaming world tends to be much more forgiving than music, in my opinion. Therefore, I ran a couple of games as a test. I ran a game that I felt emphasized background music (Unravel), and it was amazing. As well as our first experience with Borderlands 3, I also tried something with more exploding (Borderlands 3). There are some flaws (but nothing to worry about)

The volume knob turns clockwise, which is the opposite of how my mind has always treated volume knobs in my life. Does that mean the sound is What's the reason? It would have been great if an LED would have indicated that I am Initially, I was unable to get through because I had mute turned on. Conclusion The Razer Blackshark V2 X is a great gaming laptop at a great price. It may have a horrible name, but it is a fantastic product. Playing online games is no longer as common as it used to be, and I listen to a lot more music than I used to. If I'm going to play online with friends or conference call, it makes sense to have both a powerful pair of headphones for music and solo play as well as a low-end headset for play with friends. I find this to be useful.

It is Graded according to eSports
5/5

An ex-seminarian, I once worked for a public utility I am a professional Overwatch player, and these headphones are almost as good as studio-grade headphones It is graded as "sound" Those we used in tournaments are being cancelled. I gave the sound quality a four because the ANC isn't that impressive, but I still find that it allows me to tune out everything else and focus on the game. These have an amazing Surround system which allows for separate and accurate sounds even in chaotic situations on the I can watch and listen to any movies and play any game without a problem, and the cable length is perfect. My glasses do not have any pressure on their lenses because it is lightweight and fits snugly on my head. These headphones are more than worth the price. I would pay 4x the price for such quality.

I love the quality of the headphones, but they are terrible
3/5

It doesn't look too bad from the outside, but the packaging could use some improvement. Moreover, it comes with a splitter for PC use, which I think is big plus. Also included in the package is a nice carrying case, but since the headphones are not foldable, they are not very travel-friendly.

The first thing you'll notice when you open the box is the ONE TIME USE CODE. There are two surround sound software programs. In another review, the client software was described as being awful, but I thought, "Who uses the client software for a simple microphone?"? I installed the software to find out what the other reviewer had There were no exceptions to the sound stuttering, no matter what I did, no matter what application I used. My lag rendered the sound useless as if I was lagging behind. I have a Ryzen 3950x computer with a RTX 2080ti card and 64GB of RAM, and by using this system I never experience delays. Although I tried troubleshooting it several times, I have only been able to resolve the problem by uninstalling the application. I tried restarting the computer before uninstalling to check if that made a difference- Not at all. After restarting the computer, I discovered that the software could no longer be reinstalled.

I then proceeded to play Destiny 2 with this headset, and found that its bass literally wasn't there at all. Interestingly, the volume at the maximum was not very loud, which might be a good thing for hearing footsteps at max level. Several of my game mates have complained that the mic is tinny and muffled, and this is the worst part the ear pads are completely melting. After only a few minutes of gaming, your ears are already extremely hot thanks to the way that the headphones block out noise, but can't filter out the fans in the background. As of last week, I've tested a bunch of $30-$50 new devices It's a no-brainer if you're looking for a great gaming headset, but I am not sure it's worth the money.

There aren't many headsets on the market that are under $100
5/5

Regardless of one comment about a dude who should have taken time to read something. There is no doubt that these sound amazing, and the mic is strong and clear. For games such as warzone, the quality is amazing. You can hear every step and it sounds just like you're in a movie if you crank it up. Previously, I was using a PlayStation 4 pro headset, which is super comfortable and sounds amazing, but has no It is not only that these headsets sound the same as the PS4 pro headsets, but they are also extremely comfortable. This is a highly recommended book.
