I am very happy with this purchase, I will advise everyone!

Great quality headphones with great sound. As for the price / quality ratio, I can’t judge - everyone has their own criteria for an adequate cost, but for me personally, this is the best headset I have ever had. For me, its cost paid off in sensations and opportunities. If anyone is interested, in the windows settings you don’t need to set any additional effects such as surround sound or windows sonic, which are usually suitable for simple headphones, it will only get worse here, since the headset already works as a 7.1 system out of the box. In games, you need to select a surround sound device / home theater / 7.1 / 5.1, etc. as the sound source, not headphones. And what's more - in the Audezee HQ program, it is highly recommended to select the appropriate EQ preset for you (I liked the warm mode the most) and set the head circumference and distance between the ears to suit you, which further improves their performance.

Pros

Top sound when connected via USB, an honest tangible 3D sound effect (not only around, but also from above / below), good ergonomics, head position tracking, materials - although not expensive, but of high quality. You can connect via Bluetooth to a computer or phone, but keep in mind that the adapter must have Bluetooth version 4.0 or higher, otherwise the sound will be worse, but even with a good adapter, it is preferable to connect via wire (to a PC) if you want to use it for games so that there is no lag and there is 7.1 sound. With phones, everything is easier - good bluetooth modules are built in and the sound quality is decent. As for head tracking, it's extremely useless for a phone, but very interesting when connected to a PC. When you sit in front of the monitor, the source of visual information is in front of your eyes, thanks to tracking, the sound picture does not move with your head, but remains in place, which makes it much easier for your brain and you, from time to time, can even forget that on you are wearing headphones, which is why, despite the impressive size and weight, the head does not get tired of them, even during long sessions. Well, when, in some dynamic game, everything starts to sound around you, you generally forget where you are. The 3D effect itself is also very good, you clearly understand exactly where and at what distance the enemy is from you, even behind your back. Also, in the Audezee HQ program, you can assign keys to head movements and use them in the game - for example, in Dishonored 2, I put the keys responsible for peeking around the corner on head tilts to the left and right - this turned out to be very convenient and works great for immersion . All headset settings are stored in it and there is no need to launch the application every time (except for cases with key assignments)

Cons

I bought for PC games, so all the shortcomings listed below do not really matter to me. When paired with a phone via bluetooth, the headphones will automatically connect to it every time you turn it on, even if you have USB connection to PC mode active, therefore, your phone will try to output audio to the connected headphones, as a result of which you may miss important notifications or call, etc. - you need to keep this in mind and break the connection if you do not plan to listen to something from the phone. At the beginning of use, I felt a clear vacuum effect in my left ear, but it disappeared somewhere after a couple of hours and did not appear again. There is a faint hiss (background), when there are no sounds - it doesn’t bother me, I don’t even always notice it. The headphones are quite bulky and heavy, which, for me personally, precludes the possibility of using them as a headset for a phone on the street - when you are not sitting in front of a PC, they look silly with them because of their size and design. A detachable microphone, in addition to dimensions, weight and design, excludes the possibility of using them, for example, when riding a bicycle, as an active headset - you can control playback, volume, scroll through tracks, but if someone calls you at that moment - you will have to take out your phone, or connect a removable microphone (so-so perspective). Once again, the design of the headphones is normal for a PC headset, but not suitable for everyday use and outdoor activities, moreover, they do not have moisture protection, which increases the chances of ruining them outside the home (and you don’t want to ruin a headset for 35K).
