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

  • Sound better than expected, with a modest bass lift
  • Fairly comfortable
  • Simple, plug-in-and-go design
  • Full, clear sound for games and music
  • Easy-to-adjust fit that stays comfy with glasses
  • Works with almost any device via 3.5 mm
  • Strong audio, helped by the bundled spatial mode

Cons

  • Peak in the upper treble can sound sharp
  • Mic fixed in place, no mute button
  • Springy cable that keeps coiling
  • Isolation only typical for a non-ANC headset
  • Mic picks up voice cleanly but is very quiet and can't be removed
  • All-plastic build feels fragile; cups swivel loosely
  • Dialogue can sit too loud in the mix
  • SoundGuysOct 2022

    An easy budget recommendation for casual gaming and voice chat, though it has few features. Tested US version.

  • Tom's GuideSep 2022

    Among the best cheap gaming headsets for sound and fit, with little else on top.

  • PC GamerSep 2022

    Good sound and mic in a light shell, but the build feels cheaper than the original Stinger.

  • Digital TrendsSep 2022

    Editors' Choice: a cheap wired headset that comes surprisingly close to pricier ones.

  • Trusted Reviews

    A comfortable, competent-sounding budget headset without an app or extras.
