Review on Asseso HP1 Gaming In-Ear Earbuds: Enhanced Bass, Noise Isolation, Ideal for Gaming, Workout & Running by Isaac Maze

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Very good quality for the price

I bought these headphones primarily for use with the Nintendo Switch as they are advertised as gaming headphones. My thoughts are: The sound quality is fantastic, not only for games but also for music. At this price point you're getting much better sound than you might expect (although it shouldn't be confused with top-end Sony or Bose etc). However, as someone who primarily uses Bluetooth headphones, I find it difficult to compare the costs. Bluetooth headphones for the same price (around $30) don't sound as good. In fact, it's not even close. Sometimes bass advertised as "powerful" can be overwhelming and muddy, but that's not the case here. The sound is well balanced for different styles of listening. In addition, these headphones are very comfortable. They are extremely light and the tips are malleable enough to sit comfortably in your ear as if nothing were there at all. Even during long sessions, they remain comfortable without causing fatigue or pressure. In addition to sound and comfort (by far the most important aspects), they also look good. The two-tone design is very minimalistic and eye-catching. And the build quality seems solid despite it being very light. They even come in a pretty tin can. The only thing that disappointed me was the short cable length. This confirms the fact that most of the time I would rather use Bluetooth headphones. In fact, the cable is so short that I can't conveniently plug it into my computer at my desk while I'm sitting at my desk (only a few feet away). Even when using my Switch with it, sometimes I want to stretch my arms a little more than the cable allows. Another 6 inches per foot would be a huge plus. You have many advantages. If you're not too concerned about the relatively short cord length for your use, these are very good wired headphones!

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
