"Awesome headset"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I was pleasantly surprised by how good the audio quality is which is unlike a normal gaming headset, and to top it off they are really comfortable too. Definitely recommend.

"Amazing"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

My first headset. I had a bit of trouble setting it up but once I managed that it was perfect. Really good audio, and pretty good quality noise cancelling (I can't hear people knocking on my door). The mic is of high quality. You don't need a super expensive head set. This is one is perfect.

"Very well worth the price"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

These operate very well, fit comfortably and look good. They were bought for my son so my use of them has not been exacting or various.

It did surprise me, given the specifications, the build quality that the years between the designs that they did not appear to keep up with my fairly common Logitech G35 headset in sound quality. Veriy satisfactorily close but now quite there to my ears. The prices vary but I thought 4 or 5 years on the technology may have moved on.

I did try directly on my boy's Logitech gaming keyboard also directly to his recent ASUS mainboard. Both gave fine performance but the mainboard performed better on the limited material I heard.

This is a highly recommendable headset but with qualification…at a price there are better available; without doubt somewhat better than the other one I compared it with.

In it's further defence if any is necessary, the boy reckons this set the more comfortable by far (I may not go quite so far but reckon they are a bit more comfortable.) To his ears the Kingston set is at least as good (my hearing organs may have been beaten down by too much sound over the years)

"No volume control"
3 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I'm somewhat disappointed that a headset that calls itself a “Pro Gaming Headset” doesn't have any kind of volume control. I do have to say the sound quality is very good, given the price. Also they are comfortable to wear and do a good job of blocking out other sounds. However, the lack of anyway to control the volume while in the middle of gaming is a real issues for me. If I was only using them for some kind of media player, I would have no issues with them as I can control volume on the player. Personally, I can't recommend them for gaming.

"Decent but didn't last super long"
3 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Got these about a year ago and they've been really good but have been in the process of dying on me for a few months even though I take care of them. A little disappointed considering the price point and positive reviews I've read.

"Great headset, comfortable around the ears, good quality sound."
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Good quality for the price, comfortable around the ears, a slight uncomfortable feeling on the top of the head after long sessions but nothing too major. Overall a great headset.

"Wow"

Purchased on Mighty Ape

Just amazing! not great at reviews but these headphones are worth getting :)

"Packs a lot for a budget gaming headset"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Worth the price, but I saw it cheaper at another store so requested a price match just so I can buy it on Mighty Ape. Very comfortable headset, but RARELY gets sore and hot (unless you use velour pads which can be bought separately elsewhere), but that's because I got fairly big ears (damn genetics) that fit just right inside the ear cups if positioned properly. Anyone with smaller ears than mine will love the comfort of this headset (inside height of the ear cup measures at about 6.5cm). Sound is amazing for its price, can literally hear everything in-game which I couldn't in my old headset, probably because of noise isolation which is great also, didn't even notice my neighbor using their loud power tools while playing Overwatch. And build quality is excellent. Mic, haven't tried yet but looking around YouTube they don't sound the best but they're pretty good. Highly recommend if you're on a budget. (And thanks Mighty Ape for beating the price!)

"Works and looks great"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This headset looks great, the only problem is the detachable mic, Personally I was not use to having a mic in my face 24/7 so I took it out everytime I wasnt using it, after thinking of past horror experiences with headphone and IPads (snapping) I left it in and got use to it. Then headphones block out sound and have a nice stitching of ‘HyperX’ on the top. The only problem I had was not having a dak/controller in the headset so with Win7 I had to move the Windows audio controller, but after upgrading to Win10 it was easier to use the ‘Realtek HD’ program.

"Brilliant"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

For the price I paid I could not believe how comfortable this headset is. For a glasses wearer I have always had headaches and head-pains from using headphones – This pair is absolutely amazing and the best part – I can remove the MIC and use them for music in Bed. 5 Stars – for the price. MightryApe service 5 Stars as usual!

"Quality Product"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This headset has surpassed my expectations. Good, solid build, braided cables. No volume control, but this isn't a problem as I can adjust the game/chat sounds via the PS4 and in game. The quality is unsurpassed IMO (I've owned 5 headsets, this is the best). Good padding, stitched across the top, rubberised grip, metal retractable parts.

Easy to use plug in ps4 and good mike and looks good and cord strong

"Great quality headset at great price"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I'm seriously impressed by this headset. Good bass, great mids, sharp treble. Fantastic sound quality. There was no noticeable ‘crackling’ at higher volumes. It is a slight shame that there's no inline volume control but with the ability to use it on my PC and PS4, which both have readily accessible volume control, I cant complain. Yes, the little bung that you put in when you're not using your microphone can be a pain to use but the removable microphone is great. The mic quality is more than adequate, and provided great quality recording. The foam on the ear cups are soft and comfortable and were able to comfortably fit around my ears and provide a tight, yet not over powering grip. Fantastic headset and definitely exceeded my expectations, especially at a price below $100.00
