As the name suggests, I've never used a headset. For me, these have always been headphones in almost everything. I now have something in my ear that needs attention and was advised not to wear it. And so I came to try the headset for the first time. I've always found it uncomfortable to wear anything on my head and ear. but god I was wrong! But then again, I don't have any other experiences with either headset, so my rating is only based on how I feel compared to the headphones, not to any other headset. When looking through the options offered to me, I initially thought that the FIODIO price would be a budget alternative to those more expensive gaming headsets and still give you virtual 7.1 surround sound! I used it on my PC and enjoyed pretty good sound in terms of depth, clarity and clarity! Now it's much more convenient than headphones and at the same time quite stylish. So this headset has given me great experiences so far. Also, the mic works fine, but it's not detachable (unless I missed how to do it in the instructions), so that might be a downside for some? In my opinion.
