TL; DR - Some of the most comfortable headphone I've ever worn. They fold flat, and a low-profile, low-key look lets them fit in anywhere. Relaxed sound, but still detailed. Decent imaging + soundstage. Overcomes it's price to performance ratio. Removable mic works well, 7.1 is a gimmick, but does work. Prefer 7.1 on games to music.
I don't own a lot of closed back headphones. I've auditioned the MDR-1A, and Audeze Mobius. I own ATH-M40x, Monoprice Retros, and Modhouse Argon Mk-III, all of which I love. The MH 752 popped up on my radar thanks to ZeosPantera, and instead of blindly recommending them, I had to find out just how they stacked up to my other closed back cans.
Now, do I think the 751/752 sounds better than the M40x? No, I don't. But it's within striking distance, and more relaxed. Highs are less incisive than the M40x, but more present than the 1A. Bass is clearer than the Retros, but slightly muddier than the M40x, but less boomy than the 1A. Midrange is clear and present, what I'd call neutral. It's pleasant without any particular emphasis that I can detect.
Soundstage is decent. However, this is one of my headphones where I really noticed a difference between an Amp, a DAP, and a smartphone. These are based off a portable headphone, yet while my Google Pixel drove them loud enough, there was almost no soundstage. They got noticably wider going to an uber-powerful amp (BasX A100) but were plenty good on a Shanling M0. Imaging was decent, Not as holographic as M40x though. Doll's Polyphony from the Akira OST was presented as in front of you, and it wasn't pin-point accurate, but surely acceptable.
Low-key looks, low-profile frame, decent fabric-wrapped cable. The matte black and gray are very understated and IMO are fine for at the office or walking around outside. Super light and super comfortable. Like, honestly some of the softest pads and headband I've ever experienced on any headphone regardless of price. They will leak sound at high volumes, not like an open back, but more than the M40x with ZMF pads.
For music, if you already own the M40x, would I recommend purchasing or switching to these? Only if the M40x is too bright, too much like a monitoring headphone for you. For games, I think MH-752/751 is serviceable and less of an investment than M40x, which needs at least, a mic, on top of it's regular cost. Between 751/752 and (used) MDR-1A, I'd probably take the 752, honestly. These or Retros? These. If you're looking for a gaming companion, MH-752 is going to crap all over most of the current crop of branded-gaming-headsets. If you're strictly a music listener, the M40x offers more sound quality, but the 752 is more relaxed, more comfortable, needs no mods, and has the default-headphone look, which is not a bad thing. Solid recommendation.
TLDR; Buy the MH-751 instead, swap out the ear pads for Brainwavz HM-5s, consider getting a rubberized cable, enjoy!
-------- Comfort --------
You would think the best place to start would be sound. I believe that comfort is the first thing to consider with something will potentially be on your head for a few hours at a time. The MH-752 is extremely comfortable. Very low clamping pressure and very lightweight (about 250 grams). They still manage to stay put though, so kudos to Cooler Master there. The only thing that lets it down are the small leatherette ear pads. I ended up swapping in some Brainwavz HM-5s. The are a bit larger, use memory foam, and have a velour covering which is more comfortable for me. They run about $20.
A couple things to note with the Brainwavz HM-5s. They do let more sound in (less isolation, but nothing like having a full open back headphone) and you lose a little bass. However, the sound stage seems to widen a fair amount, so I feel like that trade off is worth it and results in an overall better sound.
The stock earpads are clipped in, and take a fair amount of force to remove. I ended up using the handle of a plastic orange peeler to get enough leverage to pry them off without damaging anything. The HM5 install is a piece of cake though, they just slip on. However, they will not look quite as finished as the original ear pads. The HM5s do not have the plastic ring so they do not clip in. The do have a stretchy material that would tuck into a groove on most other headphones for a clean install. With the MH-752s, there is no way to do this, so the fabric just kinda hangs out. However, once they are slipped on, they do not move around so it's really not an issue.
-------- Sound --------
This headset can sound really good or kinda meh, depending on how you connect it. First the meh. If you use the included USB cable with the built in sound card, it will not sound very good. Yeah it has 7.1 surround, but that doesn't help at all. It seems like the built in sound card is not able to provide enough power to the headset. Everything sounds kinda dull and muddy. Not the worst I have heard, but it's not good.
Now if you plug them directly into the 3.5mm jack on your PC (or DAC, or whatever you are using) they will sound much better provided your setup can power them (they are only 26 ohms, so it should not be hard to drive them). The dull and muddy sounds are replaced by some solid bass, warm treble, and good highs. The highs could be a little better, but they are certainly fine for gaming or listening to music or movies. The sound profile really lends itself well to almost all activities. It makes sense since these are based on Takstar Pro 82s, which are studio monitors.
On the sound front, I compared these to a set of Sennheiser HD 598SEs that I have been using for about 3 years. The HD 598 is open back, which did mean a much larger sound stage, but much less bass. The MH-752s sound a lot more fun than my old HD 598s. Objectively, the 598s sound better in sense that they seem to reproduce sound more accurately and they sound more natural. However, I discovered that is not what I want when playing Destiny 2, or Division 2, or Assassin's Creed Odyssey, etc. I want some impact and something that keeps me engaged. It guess its the difference between plain grilled chicken and veggies or pizza and wings for dinner. You know which one is objectively better, but sometimes you just don't want that.
-------- Mic --------
The mic quality is superb for this type of mic... if you use the 3.5mm jack. If you use the USB cable/sound card it will not sound as natural or clear, and iit ntroduces a nasal sound to your voice. If you use a 3.5mm mic jack instead, the mic is really good for this class. All my teammates and hear me very clearly and I more or less sound like I do in person. Volume levels are also fine, although it seems like individual setups can have an impact on that with any mic.
I also have a Blue Yeti that I can compare this with. The Blue Yeti is superior. It is also much more expensive and much larger. However, if you are just gaming the MH-752 mic will serve you well. If you are just starting out with streaming or recording videos for YouTube, this mic should do fine while you figure out if you want to continue streaming/recording or until you can fund a mic upgrade. Mics are a pretty big arena to cover, and I only have experience with a handful of them, with the Blue Yeti being the highest end one I have used. So take that for what it's worth.
It is also worth noting that the mic is detachable, which I like.
-------- Aesthetics --------
You can probably see the product pictures, so not much to say here. They look nice. You could even maybe wear these outside without looking like you are wearing a gaming headset. I like that the understated look, but everyone has their own opinion there.
-------- Build Quality --------
These only weight about 250 grams, which is pretty light for a headphone. Even with that, these feel very high quality and solidly built. I have had some very cheap headphones, and the MH-752 is not a cheap headphone/headset. I don't know how they will hold up over time, but initial impressions are very good.
-------- Problems --------
Like I said at the beginning of the review, these are not perfect. I have already outlined the ear cups and the sound quality using the USB cable. I did not mention that the cables are all covered in some kind of fabric wrap. To many, this is a sign of quality. Let me assure, this is the worst thing you can do to a headphone cable. You end up with something that is stiff and makes a scratching noise that you can hear in the ear cup whenever the cable rubs against something. Hint, the cable is always rubbing against something.
I solved the scratching and sound quality issue by ordering three new cables:
*One 3.5mm male to 3.5mm male, 1.5 meter, 4 pole rubber coated cable - $6
*One 3.5mm female to 3.5mm male, 3 meter cable, 4 pole rubber coated cable - $8
*One 3.5mm female to dual 3.5mm male, splitter cable - $5
Using these cables I was able to achieve a much better experience in sound, gained a more flexible cable, and it doesn't make scratching noises. The downside is you lose the mic mute button and volume control. While I would have preferred to keep that, I can live without them easily enough. You will have to decide if that is a trade off you would want to make.
-------- Conclusion --------
The MH752 is almost perfect. Most of its flaws can be fixed. However, I paid $75 for the headset, then added in another $39 in parts to make it work for me. That is a total of $114. For that kind of money, you could get a pair of Sennheiser Game Ones or Game Zeros. I had already tried that route though with Sennheiser Game Ones, and they were also almost perfect, except the ear pads were too small and there was no way to fix that. Clamping force was a bit higher as well. And the right side stopped working inside of a week (although that was probably a fluke, Sennheiser makes some quality stuff).
So would I buy these again? No. I would get the cheaper MH-751 for $65, then just swap out the ear pads ($20) and get a 3 meter rubber coated male-to-male cable for an additional ($8). That would bring the total to around $93. Expensive? Yeah a bit. But I think it's worth it. You can always get the MH-751 and determine if you like it stock first then swap things out as needed, which is a nice option to have.
On a side note, I hope Cooler Master reads this review and makes some improvements on the next revision of this headset. They have been kicking out some quality peripherals lately and I would like to seem them step up their game even more. Time will tell.
