The perfect purchase for me, exactly what I was looking for!

I purchased these with the SoundblasterX AE-5. They perfectly complement each other, the impedance of 150 ohms is easily swayed by the card (up to 600 ohms can be swayed) - the volume range can be said to be twice redundant, 40% is already loud. Listening to music is just super in the "DirectHP" blaster mode, I tested it on my favorite tracks from A-Ha to Metallica.
And with the installation of Dolby Atmos for headphones in Windows 10, I got another sound virtualization mode for games and movies. Atmos demos on G4ME ZERO sound simply gorgeous, the impression is 2 times cooler than in a good cinema. That's just where to get such content from us, this is a big question. I compared this mode with other headphones (Atmos works with any stereo) - other ears turned out to be worse intelligibility in bass and low frequencies, which is so important for movies and games. The G4ME ZERO has clear separate sounds and effects, with excellent positioning, both in Atmos demos and in games, while the sound itself is closer to the monitor, not "reprocessed", it does not need an equalizer.

Pros

Despite the need for a "warm-up of 200 hours" mentioned everywhere, I was pleased with the sound right out of the box. Intelligibility, not overdried highs, not mumbling lows, not pecking on the skull in a big way, and at the same time, not only basses are clear, but also cinematic LFEs (low-frequency effects during explosions and so on). Extremely comfortable volume control in the right ear. A pleasant fabric cable, light and long, does not tangle at all and does not slip off the table itself. I don’t feel them on my head - they are light, the cups are elongated enough in height so as not to press the earlobes. I have a larger than average head circumference, with many headbands a problem, but with these headphones there is even some headroom. Included is an excellent, very flat and lightweight carrying case, which will save the flimsy design in a backpack or suitcase stuffed with things.

Cons

I have not yet found any shortcomings on the move, there will be more nit-picking: I suspect that the design is short-lived. However, the warranty is 3 years, and interchangeable ear pads can be ordered in the service, although not cheap. Also, maybe it seemed that the microphone was "weak": I can be heard quietly, I have to turn everything in the settings to the maximum. Who cares: they won’t work for a phone / player: after all, 150 ohms and the cable is long, although light. If you really need it, then you can walk them, but this is not their forte.
