Revainrating 3 out of 5

The quality is ok on the whole, it has some small flaws.

The first impression was - "the ears are just top": they look very solid and commensurate with their cost, strict design, nothing superfluous, metal inserts and fasteners, the feeling that you are holding something really high quality in your hands that will last a long time. When choosing ears, the most important point was the quality of the microphone (the sound is still plus or minus for all headsets is average), because. I use them exclusively for playing in co-op, but otherwise it’s no longer a headset and there’s no point in overpaying for the very fact of having a microphone, it’s easier to buy ordinary ears with other advantages. And here everything is just fine, I chose for a long time, listened to tests, compared and in fact it turned out to be even better than I expected. A friend did not notice any difference in the discord at all compared to the Razer Kraken 7.1 v2 oval wired ear mic. I can’t say anything about the sound, because. I’m not an audiophile and took my ears purely for games, twisted the equalizer a little, focusing on the familiar sound of my favorite tracks, and everything seems to be fine. Their main problem is that after 5 minutes you feel slight discomfort, and after half an hour your head starts to hurt at all and you have to move them all the time on your head. I have a medium sized head, perhaps people with a small head will not have such a problem, I knew about this risk before buying, but my hopes were not justified, I am very upset, because. this is the main reason why I had to return them and now I don’t even know which ears to choose, because most wireless ones have a very bad microphone. There was also a conflict with the wi-fi router, the sound was disgusting, either wheezing, or interrupted, I had to remove it away from the computer, about 4 meters, and there was still a problem at 3 meters. To some extent, I was even lucky that they had a marriage of the volume wheel, the sound switched randomly up and down and by different values, Thanks to the amazon, I just chose the reason "goods of inadequate quality", took them within 14 days to the nearest reception point and after 3 days the money was already returned.

Pros
  • - microphone is very good - the microphone is turned off by the button and has a light indication (and for the "on" state it can be turned off) - design - build quality / metal elements inspire confidence, cables, dongle - everything looks very decent - interchangeable ears (it's hot in relatives, but there are different options on Amazon, for example, deeper ones from ordinary fabric) - Switchable backlight to save battery
Cons
  • - small ear pads (ears touch the speakers) - small headband (the arc extends very modestly, I don’t have the biggest head, but I had to push them to the maximum) - put a lot of pressure on the head - the volume wheel is inconveniently located and keeps accidentally switching when taking off / putting on / adjusting your ears - volume wheel with marriage - periodically they themselves wake up from sleep mode and, accordingly, the battery runs out (although, for a week they lay like that, I played them for 3 hours and the charge still remained even)
