good sound quality and they fit very well in the ears

Definitely loving these Alienware 510 headphone! Got great crisp surround sounds and they fit nice and snug around your ears when you playing games and/or watching movies, The microphone is easy to slip pull out on built into the headset and the quality of the mic is excellent

THE BREAKDOWN: The packaging was very well done and protected. It came with the headphones themselves, USB cable with inline volume controls, 3.5mm splitter and 2 Velcro straps that I use for cord management. The design and feel of the headphones felt great to me. My only complaint is that the cups feel as if they put extra pressure on the bottom of the ear cup. The size is large that is typical for gaming headphones. They are a little deceiving as they look like they are bulky and heavy but once you put them on the feel surprisingly light. You can adjust the cups independently on the left and right to fit your head type. The lunar white color is nicer than I thought it would be. The microphone is hidden in the left earcup and pully out easily. It is also very adjustable. The inline controls worked well. The headset did get hot after a few hours of gameplay. The sound quality was very good. I would put the sound quality of these headphones in the top 3 of the headphones that I own. While gaming I felt the sound was crisp and you could hear the sounds of the game in the appropriate earphone. If you are looking for bass these may not be the headphones for you but then again these are gaming headphones and they do a great job at that intended purpose. PRO’s: -Great gaming sound quality -Braided cables -Adjustable ear cups -Hidden microphone CON’s: - Not true 7.1 surround sound -Earcups get hot over time. SUMMARY: Overall, I feel that this product worked very well and I would recommend this to a friend if they are in the market for device like this.

I am going to go ahead and say that this gaming headset is out of this world! Alienware have designed and produced a great gaming headset. I absolutely love the design. The Lunar Light is a pretty awesome color. It's an off white, kinda grayish, like the moon! The alien logo on the ear cups is a nice touch. There is no RGB lighting on this headset but that is totally fine with me. The unboxing experience is nice, The headset comes with a 3.5mm to USB cable, and a 3.5 to 3.5mm cable. It also comes with a splitter if you need to plug the headset into a headphone/microphone ports on your computer. I chose to use the USB cable to plug it into my gaming laptop. Windows automatically detects and installs a driver for the headset, but you may need to download Alienwares software for the 7.1 virtual surround sound. Set up is a breeze and you'll be up and running in no time.The software will scan for your installed games and you can launch games from within the alienware software. The headset itself feels strong and sturdy. The headband has enough flex and the padding on it is comfortable. The ear cups slide up and down to adjust to your head size. The foam pads on the ear cups are very comfortable as well and isolate sound quite well. They do a decent job at blocking sounds and keeping you immersed in your video game. I really like the retractable microphone. It tucks away nice and neat when you are not using it. It is a great design, I do not like fiddling with microphones that fold up, The ear cups swivel and lay flat for easy storage. Both included cables have volume buttons and a sliding switch that will mute the microphone. These headphones get pretty loud. I played Resident Evil 2 remake with this headset and I could hear every blood curdling snarl from the zombies. Playing the game with this headset on honestly made the game much scarier lol, You can hear every little detail in the sounds. The virtual surround works pretty good, I could tell where the sounds were coming from in the games I tested it with. I knew the zombies were in the room behind me or to the left in front of me while walking down halls. Sound quality from the 50mm drivers is excellent, Bass is pretty full and you can feel thuds from explosions and gun shots. Mids and highs are well balanced as well. The microphone is discord certified, apparently that's kind of a big deal. The friends I spoke to all told me my voice came through nice and clear, no echos, and they couldn't hear my squeaky chair in the background. Bonus points! You will obviously need to download the software to take advantage of the 7.1 virtual surround sound, but these headphones sound pretty great in plain ole stereo surround as well. For those of you that are curious, Yes this headset also works with a PS4 Pro through USB port. I thought that was pretty awesome.It won't have the 7.1 surround when using it with the playstation but honestly these headphones are a great option for your console too. You can adjust the volume with the in line cable, which is something you can't do with other usb headsets on the PS4. It did not work with my Xbox One through USB, you'll have to use the 3.5mm cable and plug it into your xbox controller. I highly recommend this gaming headset, especially if you own a gaming PC and Gaming Consoles. Alienware got alot of things right with these and they are an amazing value. Pros - Comfortable, 7.1 Surround is immersive, Great sound quality, Retractable Mic. Discord Certified. Compatibility. Great for gamers who only want to use 1 headset for their PC and consoles. Cons - None. Unless you prefer wireless headphones.

The Alienware AWH10H is absurdly bulky, but it is lightweight, generally comfortable, has decent sound, an appropriately low price, and truly does help with spatial awareness while gaming. The removable earcups are a thick memory foam that blocks a good amount of ambient noise, but they are NOT made with the cooling gel that many higher end gaming headsets now feature. I find that the foam is not especially breathable and my ears get hot fairly quickly. I also find them uncomfortable to wear with glasses. After several months of wearing them in, the cushion may soften up, but I would not suggest this headset for those who wear glasses all of the time. Be aware that this is NOT a noise cancelling headset. It is the retractable microphone that cancels ambient noise (to a reasonable degree). The Mic is not removable, but it is easy enough to retract into the bulky left earcup with just one hand. The mic arm does bend, but is not as flexible as I would like. But, with a bit of findgiting, I have always been able to find an appropriate location that allows for effective communication. I personally do not like that in order to mute the mic, you have to slide the entire flat face of the on-cord control box up/down. I would much prefer a button or switch (as the slider is stiff), but it does get the job done. Surprisingly, the bulk does not equal thunderous sound. When used as a headset for music, the sound is rather disappointing. Until the volume is cranked up to max, the audio levels are surprisingly quiet and rather muted. If you are trying to save some bucks by purchasing a single headset that will be great for music and also gaming, this headset is not what you are looking for. I find that the 7.1 surround sound is much more noticeable when plugged into a computer using the USB cable. The computer is also where you will be able to use gaming presets to adjust the audio to your liking. If you are using this headset for Xbox or Playstation, you will not be able to change audio presets. But, because Alienware doesn’t go out of their way to advertise this headset for the Xbox or Playstation, I don’t really hold this against them. The price is pretty fair for a headset that can truly be used with any device. Interestingly, the earcups slide up and down on a track inside of the headband. At first I found this design decision to be rather odd, but I like being able to adjust each earcup individually with just one hand. I am able to reach up and hold the headband and push the earcup up with my thumb, or downwards with my pointer finger. This feature adds to the bulk (as the headband sits completely outside of each earcup), but I think it’s an innovative feature that is worthwhile. Because the price is low and because they provide great spatial awareness for PC, Xbox, & PlayStation gaming - I would generally recommend this headset.
