+ Audio quality is surprisingly good all-around, for music, movies, gaming, and Zoom meetings
+ Relatively affordable compared to some gaming headsets you might need to take loan out to afford
+ Flip-to-mute mic is clear and captures audio decently
+ Onboard controls are intuitively laid out
+ Lightweight and comfortable to use all day
+ Subtle look is suitable for an office environment
+ USB-C connector charges the headset quickly
CONs:
- NGenuity software is Windows-only so limits the usefulness of the headset
- Software leaves a lot to be desired
- USB dongle required so it will take up a USB port
- No Bluetooth support
- Limited to 16-bit 48khz audio
- No EQ to adjust audio
- Shuts off after 10 minutes with no audio (and no ability to change this)
- DTS:X support is either a trial or limited basis (couldn't get mine to activate the DTS:X license)
- HyperX support is terrible, so don't expect help if you need it
A decent headset with good audio and some annoying limitations that aren't enough for me to dock it a star. The price is good, especially if you can find it discounted closer to $50. While not an audiophile-quality headset, the sound it does put out is surprisingly good across the board. I have not been disappointed by audio from music, movies, games, or even Zoom meetings. It is slightly bass heavy, and unfortunately (unlike some of the more expensive HyperX headsets) there is no equalizer to adjust this.
However, if you want a simple headset that you don't need to fiddle around with, this should more than meet your needs. The flip-to-mute mic is always a welcome addition, and this one works well, with clear vocal audio. I wouldn't recommend this if you want to record podcasts, although it will certainly do in a pinch. It seems to handle everything quite well.
I primarily use this as a backup headset when my primary headset dies, but I'm generally surprised with it each time I put it on. HyperX software and support leave A LOT to be desired, and I wish they would work on that, but with the affordable cost combined with the audio quality from the cans and microphone, I give these a lukewarm 5 stars. 4.5 stars is what I would give this if I could give it a half-star rating.
The sound has been configured by the DTS X Sound Unbound App and I can say that the sound is coming out pretty good, I cannot call it great because I have had better sound experiences prior to these. I feel the sound comes in a bit off somehow, not sure how to describe it, You can definitely hear that you are listening in headsets, it feels a bit enclosed and not like the surround or sound you would feel in a studio or theater setting which I have experienced with more expensive sets. Still, for the price you cant really expect that from these, the sound is good enough to make out pencil scratching, footsteps, the various sound-stages from explosions, the engine revs from vehicles and other small background sounds from various scenes.
The feel of the set is ok, they are lightweight but I can still feel them wearing them, they have a firm press against your ears which also helps closing out the sounds from around you, I can still hear the A/C and other people if they talk but it is very faint. They feel a bit plasticy and if you touch the cups you will hear it clearly the same if you touch the cord, you can hear that something is touching the cord, so set everything up accordingly if that is something that will annoy you. The foam pads are soft and stiff at the same time, not uncomfortable but you can definitely feel that you are wearing them.
I love that the volume control is inline (on the cord) vs. on-board (on the cup), it has a mute button on the inline as well which I prefer from when it is connected to the microphone and you need to unfold the mic to mute, those have a tendency to wear-out. According to my mate they hear me loud and clear when I am talking, even if the mic is unfolded they can hear me but with less clarity.
The cord is just right for my set-up, I use a Surface Pro 10 so the phono input is just behind the screen on the hard-drive so it is enough to reach where I am sitting. I can see this being too short if you have a stationary next to you on the floor or similar, then you might need an extension. The extension that comes with it is made for connections that has a separate mic input and a headphone input, I only have one so I cant use the extension if i wanted to, a pet peeve would be to include an extension cord for only single inputs, or even better just make longer cords, it is easy enough to wind up the cord if it is too long vs. getting extensions which most people do not have available and would need to buy before being able to use their headsets.
Overall, for the price they are quite decent and I don't regret trying these out.
I've had this headset for a while. It was amazing while I used it, sound was a clear as it could be, sound is great too. It has withstood me dropping it on accident a few times.
Now that it's been some time, I have experienced some issues. Right ear is much quieter than left even when I try to balance it out. The swivel to mute feature doesn't work anymore but that's fine with me, I use another program to mute anyways.
Overall, like the product worked perfect for my classes and games.
