Customer Ratings & Reviews

Pros: Excellent audio quality for the price, extremely comfortable, feels quality, metal headband, braided cord, removable mic, price. Cons: Large, closed back. I purchased these alongside a pair of Razer Kraken's for side by side comparisons after reading many reviews online. These are quite simply the best sounding gaming headphones I've ever heard. Audio is crisp, clear, and enjoyable. The sound stage isn't as wide as open backed headphones but well above average for closed back ones. Highs are clear and non-harsh, mid's are present and smooth, and the lows are punchy without distortion or boom. I was hearing things in my games I hadn't heard before with my Creative Labs G500 desktop speakers. The mic works very well and I've had no complaints from team mates about clarity. The fact that it's removable is a bonus. Comfort wise these are top notch! Easily the most comfortable headphones I've worn in quiet some time. The ear cups are generous and comfortable, allowing them to completely envelop your ears without pinning them to your head. The metal headband keeps them clamped securely but not tightly to your head allowing for hours of fatigue free wearing. After 2 1/2 hours of use I'd almost forgotten I was wearing them. Bottom line, these are likely the best bang for the buck you can find for a pair of gaming headphones. I highly recommend them!

This headset is very comfortable and the sound quality is amazing. Unfortunately it has a major flaw (in my opinion). The metal band that goes over your head. If anything bumps it at all while you are wearing it, it literally sounds like a gong going off in your ears.

Poor mic Ok sound Nice noise canceling The overall design could be better

So I bought this thinking I'd have a pretty decent headset after reading the reviews. I unboxed it and didn't even try it out before putting it back in the box and taking it back. THIS IS NOT FOR CONSOLES. Ok while that statement isn't strictly true you should be clear about one thing. On Xbox you need an adapter to plug into your controller. PS4 connects right out of the box but you have zero volume control and mute control because the control dongle that comes with it is meant solely for PC. It takes your single 3.5mm connection and splits it into headphones and mic which as any of you know a PS4 you can't connect it that way. This is by far the worst headset design I have ever seen. HyperX should be ashamed that they advertise this as a universal headset.
