I've gone through a few different headsets in my time of PC Gaming. They didn't fit comfortably. The sound quality wasn't what I expected. A lack of durability made them prematurely unusable. I could go on, but why bother?
Instead, I'll speak on why I love this headset.
Let's start with comfort, which I'd be willing to be will be the main concern everyone has when searching for a new headset... Honestly, I forget that I have these on. That's not a joke. That's not an exaggeration. I have literally forgotten that these were on my head after a gaming session! The memory foam in the cups, how soft the fabric around them is, the amount of adjustment you have to get them to sit perfectly on your head... Amazing!
Now let's talk about noise cancellation, which these do very well. Obviously they're not perfect, since they weren't designed to be a pair of studio headphones or something like that. What they do, they do well. You can still hear what's going on around you if the volume of said happenings are loud enough, but you primarily hear what's playing through the headset. It does an excellent job of muffling outside noise and immersing you in your game, music, movie, etc. Just, not so much that someone could be breaking into your house and you wouldn't hear it, haha!
Let's move on to sound quality. Before we do, I want to state that I have a sound card installed in my computer, so I have the audio tuned with a custom preset to fit my liking. With that out of the way, I will say that I love the sound of this headset. In-game voices, both from the AI in the game itself and from teammates in Discord are crystal clear. The bass is very deep and rumbling, so when an explosion happens, it sounds like you're actually standing right next to it. When playing a racing game, the roar of the engine sounds to satisfying that I feel like I'm actually behind the wheel. Mids and highs are very nice as well; they don't get washed out by the bass, but they don't wash the bass out either.
But what about the battery life? I was always hesitant to buy anything wireless for my PC because of having to charge, but honestly, I'm glad I took a shot this time. I can get several days worth of gaming sessions out of this headset before I need to plug it in. When I do, it takes a couple of hours to fully charge, but that's not a big deal to me. I purchased the Corsair ST100 RGB Headset Stand to go along with this headset, and they pair up nicely together, and it makes storing and charging the headset a breeze, but even without the stand, it's still remarkably easy.
The RGB is the icing on the cake, because I personally love RGB. I also love the features that the microphone has. Flip it down, and your mic is on; flip it up, and the mic is muted! There are also controls on the side of the headset for mute, volume, power, etc. which make using the headset a piece of cake.
All in all, I love this headset, and I 100% recommend it to anyone in the market for something of high quality!
