These headphones are great for the price. I normally buy the most expensive headphones and realized this time around that I didn’t need to. These have the quality and for first person shooters, the footsteps are easy to hear.

It sounds good and it’s comfy. It has two issues. The cord location is awful. It sits awkwardly on your shoulder so the connection will constantly be wiggling- probably bad for it in the long run. Another issue- you cannot turn the volume of the headset all the way up or it will produce a buzz/ glitchy sound. I mean not a huge deal but it’s a known issue with this headset. I don’t use the mic so I can’t speak on its quality.

Great headphones, may need cleaning every week but amazing quality, I like to have bass while listening to music and it is amazing, microphone is 10/10, when not needed I can just slide it back into its slot, I love how customizable it is with colors through the PC app.

Simply one of the best brands and headsets out there. The quality on this mic is insane for the price. It works very well, fits super comfortably, is very light and has rgb lighting to customize. The audio quality is also great. I would buy this headset twice if I could.

Love this headset. I wear glasses and this is the only headset ive ever bought where it doesnt squash my glasses against my head which gets painful after long use and I have to adjust my glasses, for me alot of the other headsets that I wore like, turtle beach, hyper X, Asus, all squashed my glasses against my head and some made the pain worse quicker where I wouldnt play my game for very long because of the irritation. This headset I can play all day long and it doesnt squash my glasses against my head. The sound quality is also very good, the mic will pick up background noise but you can adjust that to where it will no long pick up back ground noise. RGB can live with or without, made it purple for my favorite color, I hardly turn it on because I cannot see the lights anyway. Would recommend to anyone who wears glasses or without glasses. They are compfy.

Great pair of headphones i bought these months ago and they have held up strong still the sound quality is great and they are super comfortable i really do recommend this if you are in need of some really nice headphones for a decent price the only reason it’s getting a four start instead of 5 is because he wires that come with the headphones gets tangled up pretty easily but nothing you can’t solve by unplugging it.
