Description of Drop + Koss GMR-54X-ISO Gaming Headset - 3D Surround Sound, Closed-Back, Detachable Cables & Boom Mic - Compatible with PS4, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, PC & Other Consoles

HEAR IT ALL, SO YOU CAN WIN THEM ALL: Hear your favorite games and tracks like never before with the Drop + Koss GMR-54X-ISO gaming headset. Based on a popular Koss headset, the GMR-54X-ISO and produced by Drop (formerly Massdrop). IMMERSIVE 3D SOUND: When gaming, the headset delivers positional cues to help you hear enemies from all directions. When listening to music, you’ll get a fun, punchy sound that does your favorite tunes justice. It’s the best of both worlds. SMALL ADJUSTMENTS THAT MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE: After testing the original version, we reduced some tension in the already-lightweight headband for extended comfort during long gaming and listening sessions. ON THE FLY ADJUSTMENTS: What’s more, our version comes with a cord splitter, plus a boom mic with a new volume/mute switch for quick adjustments on the fly. COMPATIBILITY: With these upgrades, you never have to pause the action to change the volume, and you can plug the boom mic into a PS4, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, or other console without hassle. Connectivity Technology: Wired.

Didn't quite buy it well, had a little trouble using it.

In terms of a gaming/work headset, it's hard to find a better value for money deal. As multifunctional headphones, only an unpretentious user is suitable: music and movies are dragged rather weakly, there is a lack of high-quality bottoms, and especially middle ones. In general, upset, because. I expected much more from such a serious brand. Apparently, you should still choose Sennheiser :) It may be worth giving yourself time to get used to them. If anything, I will ate the review after a…

Pros
  • * very light: there is a feeling that a winter hat weighs more than headphones; * excellent ergonomics: there are no extra parts, everything that needs to move - moves, everything that needs to stay in place - is fixed; * convenient D-shaped bowls. Ears do not press even after several hours. If it starts to press, we pull the bowl down and everything is in order; * Ears don't sweat. Leatherette ear cushions do not interfere in any way, they are well ventilated. After 4 hours, the ears warmed up only slightly.
Cons
  • * The sound is disappointing. From Koss, as someone wrote below, you expect much more. The tops are perfectly balanced - clicks, rustles, even the sliding of fingers along the strings when recording audio are heard perfectly, for games like CS it’s really the most. However, the bottoms are balanced very torn, and the middle ones are almost not felt, even after dancing with the equalizer; * very short and thin wire. Strictly for sitting near the computer, immediately with the prospect of buying a replacement with a braid (fortunately, such an opportunity is provided immediately).

The product is terrible, much below my expectations.

As gamer's ears are tolerable, but for music they are very bad. Yes - yes, low ones are not the main thing and everything else, but you must admit that it is still more pleasant with them than without them. I took them for 2900 at discounts on 112022, it’s still badly poor, but I don’t recommend it at all for a big price. But comfortable and pleasant, yes, do not take away 04/16/20 After almost half a year of use, I am lowering the overall rating from 2 * to 1 * due to the build quality of…

Pros
  • ++ General design. Not the most standard solution with adjusting the height/width of the bowls by stretching the elastic band (Above, under the plastic rim) makes them comfortable on any head and practically does not leave a "saddle" in the hair during long use. ++ Replaceable cable. Initially, there are two of them, one is shorter (for telephone connection), the second is longer with a flexible microphone and a separate 3.5. + The cups themselves are D-shaped and completely cover the ears without much pressure. Even with prolonged use (5+ hours), although discomfort is present, it is quite tolerable
Cons
  • - Sound. Just disgusting. I expected much more from koss. Highs/mids are still quite normal, but it feels like there are no lows at all. Even two times cheaper plantronics audio 355 (my past ears) give out significantly more. - Microphone. A miracle does not happen, as with all headphones cheaper than 8 thousand, forget about it. Very quiet - The cable, although removable, is extremely thin. It won’t survive even a couple of months of active use, which means that the microphone will also be replaced, even if it’s bad, but if there are at least something alternatives. And if there is no desire to steam with soldering and rearranging it to a new cable, you will have to throw it away

The purchase did not justify itself at all.

Used for a little over two years. Somewhere in a year and a half, the plastic dried out and the headphones broke down on the palms. Although at the time of purchase it seemed that the plastic is quite high quality. I repaired the place of breakage, applied stiffening ribs and filled it with glue. But three days ago, the plastic broke in the area of ​​​​the right ear. It's a pity, but I won't buy KOSS headphones anymore.

Pros
  • KOSS is KOSS - the sound is excellent.
Cons
  • Unreliable.

The ratio of price and quality is very pleasing, I will repeat the purchase.

The ideal all-round headset in its price range at the moment. Just enough and nothing more. They do their job great! Can be used both as computer headphones with a microphone (monitor) for games, movies and music - the sound is suitable for everything, and as headphones or a headset for the phone - also with great sound and ease of use. Stylish, high-quality, minimalistic ears - I really liked it!

Pros
  • + Sound! + Koss. + Convenient design and D-shaped bowls. + Two cables: the first for a PC with two plugs Sound and Micro, the second for a phone with a triple section on the jack. Both cables have a built-in microphone. + Light. + Price.
Cons
  • - Fragile construction - everything is made of plastic, but nothing backlashes or creaks. This is explained by the fact that the manufacturer has focused on sound quality and on the fact that the price was acceptable. - The PC microphone is built into the cable, but it does not interfere in any way. In addition, this decision was due to the fact that both the microphone was removable and the cable.

Terrible product, not worth your money absolutely!

KOSS drivers = good sound as usual. Namely, it is colored, the bass is pronounced, this is not for audiophiles at all, but the detailing for household headphones is excellent, the tops are pleasant, it is very acceptable for gaming, and some music (not classical, of course) can sometimes be listened to. BUT. The disgusting quality of the headphones, which, with very careful use, began to fall apart after a month! The headband is worse than that of no-name Chinese headphones for five hundred…

Pros
  • 1) good sound 2) until they began to fall apart, looked great (about 1 month) 3) acceptable microphone for voice 4) headset with microphone for connecting to mobile devices
Cons
  • 1) an ugly cheap headband that breaks with the most careful use after a month 2) weak attachment of the microphone to the headphones - it turns in the connector as it wants (which is not surprising - there is also a regular 3.5 jack) 3) the disgusting quality of the spring lining, which also fell apart after a few months of careful use 4) the "bending changing shape" tube of the external microphone is also disgusting - it's cheap, almost not holding its shape and bending back after. On a desktop no-name microphone for 200, it costs an order of magnitude better.

A useless product, it's not worth the money.

Extremely disappointed with such a flimsy design and assembly. Before that, there were KOSS SB-40s - simple, comfortable and served for about 7 (!) years, and only one of the ears fell off for the 7th year. I thought that koss make the same good headphones, but no, I was mistaken. Now, at least again, look for new headphones. Pros below: + Sound (I'm still a connoisseur, but I like it) + Appearance + Light and pleasant Some cons: The wire from the microphone is simply terrible - thin, the…
