There are several shortcomings, but, it corresponds to the norm.

Visually nice thing, with a simple design, they are very comfortable, but, unfortunately, they become unusable after a year. The funny thing is that the Bloody for two mowers lasted longer and gave me a better gaming experience than these 3k ears and the 3k sonic one. I will change to Logitech G Pro X.

Pros
  • A cute design that fits well with the black and white build. Lightweight, very comfortable for a person with large ears, nothing presses, I spend 10 hours a day on average in them - remote work + games. The sound quality from the cheap Xonar DGX audio is ok.
Cons
  • The microphone quality is below average, on my sound without amplification it is no longer possible to use it in the same discord. For any VOIP, the choice is dubious. The build quality is the same too. Jwa sat on the Bloody G501 for a year, there were fewer problems with them. In these, a year later, the remote control began to work out: when the volume changes, either the left or the right ear starts working in turn, if you do not touch the remote control, then you can live. From time to time, the ear pads come out of the grooves, it is inconvenient to refuel back.

Disappointed with the purchase, useless products.

After a failure with SVEN, I bought COUGAR, but alas, as it happens, not everything is so good. The sound in the headphones is at 10, but there is simply no microphone there. I don't know who is responsible for quality in COUGAR, but let's put it mildly, it's lame. The microphone in the headphones is simply the worst I have ever heard, terrible background noise, I donā€™t even know what to compare it to, I just donā€™t have words, or rather, they are all bad. You can also say a few words about theā€¦

Pros
  • sound in headphones
Cons
  • microphone

I really like the product, it fully meets my expectations.

Good headphones at a good price. I am satisfied. If someone needs headphones with a microphone, think three times: headphones are great, the microphone is not. Pros: Nice, big ear pads. Suitable for people with a large head - they sit comfortably. The cord extension was very helpful for me. Replaceable ear pads are a big plus in the long run. The sound is very good, suitable for games. Cons below: The microphone is completely useless. Here it is, absolutely. What plays in the ears isā€¦

Good product, not disappointed.

In general, the headphones justify their cost, the only thing after 8 months, when removing the headphones from the head, something creaks in the left cup mount. After prolonged use, they begin to put pressure on the ears if you are going to play for more than 4 hours.

The product is completely satisfied, performs its functions.

In this section, I will discuss a couple of controversial things. Ear sound is average. Definitely you can find better for the money, but not among gaming devices. The microphone is so-so. In programs with good functionality (teemspeak), everything can be adjusted, there will be no fonit. But if you just take it, plug it into your computer and go to, for example, Discord, then the sound will be disgusting, most likely you will also be phoning to the delight of your friends. Generally tolerable.

Pros
  • 1) Huge ear pads. 2) Braided cable. 3) Sturdy construction. 4) Removable micro and extension. 5) Second ear pads (smaller). 6) Cute and comfortable.
Cons
  • 1) Some crap rides in the left earpiece. (I personally) 2) They may not work correctly with the phone when the microphone is removed. 3) The fastening of the wire to the case and the plug is not strengthened (A complete nitpick, but in my experience a breakdown often occurs in this place. In past headphones (senheisers for about the same money), everything was ok with this.)

I've never seen anything worse! A terrible purchase.

after half a year, the left ear (L) fell off, I thought I had this, but this is a defect in all headphones and comes at different intervals. At the time of purchase, there were only positive reviews, as a result, outsourced china and dns. I do not recommend to buy

Pros
  • ear pads
Cons
  • ear tip, poor quality micro

A really necessary purchase, Im glad I found this product.

In general, the model is very good, but after the purchase I came across a review of the Axelvox HD272 headphones, they are also under the Superlux brand. I'd rather take them Got pros: Reliable construction. Sturdy metal frame. Nice and good quality materials. Good sound. They lie comfortably on the head. Two pairs of easily replaceable ear pads. Versatility - a short wire + an extension cord-slitter allows you to connect to both a smartphone and a computer. Removable microphone. Some consā€¦

Best I have ever used, great product for anyone!

Has pros: Excellent ear cushions, excellent design, do not press and you can sit in them for a very long time, excellent sound Cons below: The main drawback is the non-retractable microphone, you have to bend the ear pads under the metal leg of the ear cushion height regulator
