Rated 4 out of 5

Decent budget option

The build quality is sturdy. They feel solid like they can take a beating. They are surprisingly comfortable. Sound quality is not great, but they do include a license to a sound decoder to help. Mic quality is fine. Wireless range is extremely short. Walk 5 feet down your hallway and you'll probably experience some connection interference. Battery life is acceptable. Overall a great buy for the price.

Good for the price

These have decent sound quality and they're not all that comfortable. Recording quality is decent for live streaming.

Great product, just one annoying feature

They're great at sound cancelling, easy to control volume, and are comfortable. The only annoying thing (big thing for me) is that you need the USB plugged in to use it, and aren't able to switch to TV volume while it's plugged into your device (ps5, laptop) so you need to be unplugging it all the time but other then that it's great

Great

Fantastic headphones although not as comfortable as the wired kind they are more tight fitting ensuring they don't slip off.

The Pros..

This headset has some minor improvements with one of the key points being the material used for the ear cups which I really liked especially for someone who sweats a lot the older versions of this headset always got destroyed easier these so far have been phenomenal and no static issues. I will note there isn't a line of colorways to choose from but if you have a PS5 this will look nice with it being that it's white colored.

Hyperx has great headsets BUT these are not the ones

Both sets of head phones, when you hit the switch to turn the mic on the mic stays on. It's especially annoying when I'm playing a game with random people. They're also no where near as comfy as the original hyperx headsets I had. I'm pretty disappointed. I reached out and emailed hyperx and I never got a response also.

Incredibly fragile

Had this for a month, fell off my desk once, which isn't that high, and has a carpet below it. Stopped working completely afterwards, worst headset I've ever used.

Not good sound quality but good isolation.

I know it is a starting headset, but it has a terrible sound quality. Aluminum bends easily if not care. On the other hand, the foam isolation is much better than the leatherette. Sound isolation is pretty good too. Microphone is regular.

Good headset for the price

I'm an infrequent headset user and only use these maybe 10-12 hours total per month. Both audio and voice quality are very good for an inexpensive set up. For my needs this headset is perfect although I will say that for sessions I wear them for much more then an hour at a time they get a little warm on my ears. Not crazy like making my ears sweat, just noticeable.

Overall Experience

The headphones are quite nice. Although, the overall build quality is kind of weak. It?s a bit flimsy and can be broken if not careful. The material around the ears can be a little itchy. The audio quality and mic are exceptional, however.

Good and bad

I like the sound, it is very good, but the problem is that the headphones are heavy, uncomfortable for me. I was about to send them back, but I am going to give them away to see if they work for other person. Unfortunately they did not work for me.
