Comfortable yet bucket-like

I bought a pair of these headphones to replace my old discontinued Logitech gaming headphones. (This thing has a design flaw that causes the shell to crack with regular use.) Simply put, the sound quality on these headphones, regardless of settings, was inferior to other headphones I bought a year earlier for almost half the price would have. While you'd expect a fairly full sound, what you hear is metallic, distant, and generally without real depth. Also, the mic has issues with echoing in Discord, which is pretty odd considering these things have also been "Discord Certified". That's handy, but if something just doesn't sound right, it's not the deciding factor. were replaced by a discontinued competition model with a critical design flaw. I'm no headphone expert, but I know when something's wrong, and unfortunately things miss the mark. I suppose this explains why some specific color options are no longer sold. All in all, you can do better, sometimes even for less.

Pros
  • The fully detachable unidirectional microphone is optimized for voice clarity and reduces ambient noise so you can be heard loud and clear.
Cons
  • No
