    Very good headphones for the money!
    5 Stars
    Very good headphones for the money!
    If you're looking for a semi budget gaming headphones, please consider this ones as a good option. After several hours of using them I could tell many things to take in consideration regarding audio, construction materials and software. I'll explain them in the same order:- The audio sign let's say, is V shaped. They are good for gaming but not so balanced for listening music so your best bet is to use an equalizer to rise frequencies between 1.2k and 2.8k. The response for high frequencies could result a bit more than desired, in my case I lowered them from the 6.4k to 20k by 1dB o 2dB. Each ear is different so your best bet is to try them and balance them according to your needs. Bass frequencies (20-180Hz) are strong enough to tickle your ears.- The materials using for it's construction seems to be a bit fragile, so take care of them properly and don't stress the headphones too much when stretching them to fit them in your head. Other than that, time will tell.- Regarding the software... The surrond software included with them is just that, just an option to turn it on or off, the real deal is the THX Spatial that will be offered as upgrade later (which could count as a value increase for this item). THX Spatial could seem to be great at first use until you start comparing the original sound vs the one with spatial and start noticing the sounds are completely mixed up. For example, games like Quake Champions could result in a disaster of loud music, low player sounds and no positional sounding at all. In other games like Hellblade Senua's Sacrifice it's not bad at all but it could be a bit muffled or it simple sounds different (not good as it changes the original experience).For me, the big deal is to use Equalizer APO and HeSuVi (both free and open source) as equalizer and surround virtualization apps, even with a VST reverb in the EQ. Now the sound GREAT, you will have plenty of options to configure EQ profiles for your headphones and squeeze it's real potential using virtual 7.1. Both apps could take you a bit of time to learn how to using them but completely worth the time spent.And a plus, this headphones includes a split connector so they can easily be used with a PC (my current usage), with a console or even with your phone with its mic as a handsfree device (it has the mic+stereo audio type jack).

    4.0 out of 5 stars It does what it needs to do well, but the build quality is suspect
    Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2023
    From a usability standpoint, they're fine. The audio quality is good - the microphone is good enough, but it's a bit weak on the sound pick-up (I need to keep the mic closer to my mouth than I'm used to from other headsets). They are light-weight.

    I have a problem with the microphone mute button location at the back of the left earphone - it's exactly where I have to grab it so it's very easy to inadvertently push it. I need to be careful not to mute myself while getting into unexpected calls/meetings. The padding on the headband is covered by a very poorly attached plastic covering - it came out only after a few weeks of use, while mostly hanging on a wide headphone hook. So far the ear covers/padding are holding up fine - and the generally pretty comfortable - I expect this will be the next failure point for aesthetics though.

    They are fine for what they are - but I don't think they're worth $25+...I expect them to have other build-quality issues over the next year or so and require either hacked/DIY fixes or replacement.
