Widely called class-leading comfort for long sessions

Each part is rated on one scale for every earbud and headphone, from lab test measurements where they exist, what reviewers found, specs and owner reports. It rates the product itself, not how good it is for the price.

Pros

  • Class-leading comfort for whole days
  • Clear vocals and game detail
  • Flexible, detachable mic with little background noise
  • Both leatherette and velour pads in the box
  • Very comfortable for long sessions
  • Natural-sounding, clear mic
  • Detachable cable and mic; in-line volume and mute

Cons

  • Weak bass; explosions lack impact
  • No software for EQ or sound profiles
  • Recessed mids bury vocals
  • Some buzz at maximum bass
  • Mic a little echoey, no sidetone; tiny mute switch
  • Muddy low end, flat stage
  • Virtual 7.1 gives vague positioning
  • Tom's GuideMar 2015

    One of the most stylish and comfortable sub-USD 100 headsets, held back by thin bass.

  • TechGearLabAug 2018

    A strong, affordable all-round gaming headset that is extremely comfortable; sound is a step below pricier sets (comfort 8.0, audio 6.6, mic 6.8 of 10).

  • GamesRadar+Nov 2020

    Decent sound and an excellent design, but the 7.1 surround is a letdown; best as a budget everyday console headset.
