I got these on special prices and they work amazing. Great quality for the price!!

The Dell Alienware 310H Stereo Gaming Headset make not heads turn around given that it is only stereo and not 7.1 enabled. But the truth is, it can hold very well on its own. For a lot of casual gamers me and my son included, stereo sound would suffice. In fact we have 7.1 enabled headsets but actually use stereo mode only and not really tweaking the sound options. That said, let’s cut to the chase so to speak. The design of the Alienware 310H is sleek and not too futuristic. In other words, the the Alienware 310H is more streamlined compared to others which look like it was patterned after a stealth fighter jet. I like the fact that the earmuffs move instead of the headband extending making this more form fitting. However, the grip of the headband is too tight for me (I have a big head). And even with the cushy ear muffs, I can still feel the pressure over my ears. The 310H comes with a retractable microphone which in my open is a cool feature. If I am not doing conversations and just watching or just listening to music, I can tuck away the microphone. This gaming headset is Hi-Res Audio rated meaning you get 9Mbps audio meaning that it is seven times more that CD quality at 1.4Mbps or 29 time more that MP#s with a sampling bit rate of 320Kbps. My MP3s are only at 128Kbps so it is afar jump from what I’m used to. Simply said this is lossless or near lossless quality, This in my opinion compensates for the lack of 7.1 capabilities. But do note when I tried this with my Sandisk MP3 player, volume seemed to be lacking but quality is good. When used on the PC, the lack of volume is easily compensated by the PC’s built-in sound card. Unfortunately as of this writing, I actually haven’t tested this on Discord though the box indicates that it is Discord certified. But I did try this headset on Zoom and Skype. And I must this is one of the better headsets I have used earn it comes to voice. Volume was loud and clear with emphasis on the clear. Other headsets that I have used have so so mic quality, The packaging is simplistic though the design of the box is quire good. Inside the box are the headset itself, a manual (of sorts), and a cable with volume controls. And lastly, it also includes an adaptor if you do intend to use this on a desktop PC which has separate ports for output and input. Overall, this is a good gaming headset if you don’t mind the lack of 7.1 capabilities. This is a highly recommended buy.

There’s always a need for 3.5mm stereo headsets, even in this day and age. The Alienware 310H is a great choice of headsets for everyday use, even though they are designed for the gamer in mind. For me, they look cool, feel comfortable, and although its sound might feel lacking, they provide it where it counts the most. Styling alone shows that these aren’t any ordinary headsets, and they definitely look cool, in my opinion. Because of its styling though, they appear to take a much larger footprint, so to speak, of your head because of how the band spans from end-to-end and they will appear very large when worn. The over-the-ear cups are very plush and comfortable and I did not feel any hotspots or pressure coming from them. The cups themselves can be adjusted so that the headset fits nicely. Construction-wise, they are mostly made of sturdy plastic and I imagine that these would hold up after hours of being worn; sun damage is your enemy so I’d keep these away from direct sunlight. The mic is a non-detachable, retractable stem that can be bent and positioned closer or farther from your face, depending on your preference, which is good. Not using the mic? Just push it back into the housing and it almost disappears flush with the headset, but leaves just enough so you can pull it back out when you need to. The mic is always live, even hidden away, so you’ll have to be mindful of that and rely on the in-line mute switch. Along with the mic switch is the analog volume control, so you’ll ultimately have to deal with volume control levels with the device being the other control. Soundwise, it’s clear they’re not meant for listening to high-fidelity music tracks. Bass is lacking quite a bit as well. But they appear to be tuned for emphasis on voice and the like in that frequency range. This benefits both the typical Zoom caller as well as those that are trying to listen to footsteps while playing a round of their favorite multiplayer FPS. Since these are analog headsets, there aren't many adjustments you can make on them and must rely on the source to make modifications. A big plus about these headsets is its passive noise canceling performance, which is Back to my original point: there’s always a need for 3.5mm headsets and headphones for that matter, even today. Use cases include handheld gaming devices that lack a USB port or even Bluetooth but has an available 3.5mm jack, or even an ultra portable laptop that only supplies a single USB-A port alongside its 3.5mm jack. Heck, I was on a 6 hour flight the other day and they had in-flight entertainment, but the only way I was able to listen to it was with…you guessed it. The Alienware 310H Headset comes with a detachable 3.5mm cable with in-line volume control and mic mute. It also comes with a stereo/mic line splitter adapter for situations where you have a separate mic jack, typically found on a PC motherboard panel, for example.

The Alienware 310H gives you decent sound & are affordable. It has a premium build along with a comfortable fit that allows you to play games for hours. The headset sound offers good bass with decent imaging & dynamic sound & excellent microphone, to converse with teammates on Discord/Chat. Negatives: No noise cancellation feature on mic. The stylish design headset is all-black and has a matte texture with an overall very modern look. The Alienware logo is embellished on the back on the headband extenders on either side and has a glossy finish. Earcups are made from memory foam for comfort & these materials optimize cooling & comfort while isolating outside sounds. I found them breathable, comfortable to wear. Ear cups are well-padded & not too tight on the ears. The wired headset which comes with a 3.5mm audio cable that has a n-line remote control with volume control. There’s also a microphone mute switch on the back. You also get an additional Y-splitter cable & headset is cross-platform compatibility: PCs, laptops, Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch and mobile devices. I tried it with my PC & Steam Deck device with the great sound & communication while playing online games. The voice relayed clearly and it didn’t sound distorted. However, external sounds are picked up by the microphone. These are a decent option if you're in the market for a wired mid-range minimalist gaming headset.
