Review on Stynice Gaming Headset for PC, PS4, Xbox One, Laptop - Crystal Clear Surround Sound with Noise Canceling Mic and LED Light - Lightweight and Comfortable Gamer Headphone by Jared Winebrenner

First let me say that I'm comparing them to the Turtle Beach Recon 70. I am a 40 year old "gamer". But not really. I grew up gaming but have NEVER used a headset until this year. I was using my son's Turtle Beach Recon 70 headphones and decided it was time to get my own. I pretty much only play Apex Legends, so this is the game I'm using as a test, and I only play on Xbox. felt comfortable enough. The padding is good and in fact the headband had plenty of padding and was quite comfortable. Headphones were a bit small though. When I bought them, I was concerned that they were round and not oval. Well, the round wasn't the problem, it was the depth. It was a bit flat so my ear only touched part of the speaker (and I'm a standard 5'8" guy with medium ears). They generally felt bulky too. built in volume control. I thought it would be very good. Well it didn't turn out well in the end I sling the cable (generally) over my shoulder so it doesn't get in the way when I play games Well this headset has the volume and mute controls high up so if I do that Cord slung over my shoulder is the volume control. This got really annoying every time I wanted to mute the sound. I found myself wishing it was more like the Recon 70, the one "flip to mute" " function. For a PC this is good because your CPU can be farther away and a long cable would be great, but if the volume control was next to the connector it would be bad. So I can't really fault the design, it is just not what i thought e that I wanted. The cable is wrapped with an elastic material, which makes me feel very confident that the cable will last a long time and not easily damaged. The sound quality is really good. Compared to the Recon 70 it's got a little deeper/more bass, maybe a little muddy, but not by much. I really can't complain too much about a $30 headset. I had no trouble hearing footsteps etc. In the end it just wasn't comfortable enough for me and there weren't many of them. I decided to return them after two uses and received a refurbished pair of Recon 200s for $40.
