Not everything is so bad, the average purchase in quality.

Is it prudent to accept them? If you are used to such bulky headphones for today's music and prefer to remain oblivious to your surroundings while gaming, then I would say sure. It's challenging without an equalizer, but in some video games (Paladins, for example) you can get a cool spatial sound, while with Apex you get chirping and rumbling. All in all, it's a shame about the cost, but it's interesting. There seems to be no rhyme or reason for why certain manufacturers prioritize volume over delivering the right sound.

Pros
  • They're not bad looking. They don't press into the skull and won't blow off (unless you twitch). The footholds are quite remarkable. A handy adapter cable that splits a smartphone's 4-pin mini-jack (for use with a microphone) into two 2-pin mini-jacks for use with a computer. The microphone's volume is enough for understanding but not ideal. Some of the music is fresh and pleasant to listen to. They think the low impedance is fine for home use.
Cons
  • Quite a few behinds. The highs are overemphasized, and the balance is off. More over half of the price tag was undoubtedly allotted to premium materials and craftsmanship, while only around $1000 was spent on the audio. I was irritated at first, but after listening to the music again and over and turning down the volume, the annoying overtone eventually faded away.
