Customer Review: Hands down the best wireless head phones i have ever bought and I have bought a lot from razer to corsair to just about everything above and below but hands down these are the best no issues at all with these. I can walk across my house and not lose signal and people always tell me the mike sounds so good its like I’m in the same room

Customer Review: Like it, definitely made for someone with a bigger head. I do have a small head. But sound is good, mic works wonderfully. Connects well, just plugs in. Light on my head. And it’s durable, rage quits often end up with headphones against the wall, not a scratch.

Customer Review: These headphones are extremely user friendly. The quality of sound is on par with our expensive pair but mind you that it is corded. The design is that of the typical gamer type but I will say when it was needed it was easy to set up. We sent these to our son when he was out of town so we could play online together and his mic quality was great. We will see about durability but he is a destructive 7 year old so if these last a year then I will update this lol

Customer Review: Grandson’s gift perfect for gaming easy to use great microphone feedback light weight nice color matches gaming chair

Customer Review: I got these for my 10 year old to use on his tablet, and when he plays games with his brother. Great product for the price! No issues or complaints with them! The only thing is when he wants to plug them in his tablet he has to take the case off the tablet because the plug is wider than the space allotted for the plug-in.

Customer Review: I bought this headset for my son, and it’s been an absolutely great purchase. He uses it daily to talk with his friends online—sometimes they don’t even play a game; they just hang out in the lobby having what they call a “conference call.”The microphone is crystal clear, and his friends say his voice comes through perfectly with no static or echo. The sound quality is surprisingly powerful—deep, full, and immersive—making both gaming and regular chatting a lot more fun.It’s comfortable enough for long sessions, feels sturdy, and still looks brand-new after months of use. For the price, the clarity and build quality really stand out. If you’re looking for a dependable headset for online gaming or just staying connected with friends, this one is a solid win.

Customer Review: I use these for call of duty and youtube some times my oculus 2. The rgb works with a smooth fade out loop although it’s not addressable rgb it’s pretty nice they even send adapters so it you want to power the rgb when your on xbox or ps5 it’s independent from the controller power source (batteries) for pc you can just hook it up.Con the volume and mute switch on mine usually faces inward not a huge problem but sometimes moving around with raise or lower the volume a minor inconvenience if I would have designed it one would be on each side instead.Pros decent sound quality yesterday it saved me from being shot from behind in cod mw 2.0 the surround sound is decently crisp. The company is eager to please to to make sure you like it by the time I got it and started using it after a week they were checking up on how I liked it. After a couple messages back and forth he/she told me about the rgb being independent from the jack. Most of the rgb wired headphones I’ve seen aren’t separated and only work on the pc. Now even watching TV (I have a projector) I can use the rgb. Microphone works as it should noise canceling I never hear complains from other players. The top fabric for comfort is comfortable I’m keeping the plastic they package it with to keep it clean. Each ear side get an addition inch approximately of length for people with bigger heads. The plastic ear cuffs are not going to flex unless to beat it with a heavy object the head band has just enough flex to it. And the microphone can be moved as it’s flexible but also turned all the way pointing up . The head jack and usb splitter is pretty long about 6ft or so and it comes with a quality velcro cord piece to roll up for non use meaning if you wanted to you could put it on a headphone stand and hide the cords from you cat so it’s not dangling.Suggestions to the company slightly thicker ear cups would be nice I got big ears so they kinda touch the inner fabric of the cuff and if I squeeze a little bit there’s a little but of suction in my ears. Change the volume scrolling wheel to a sliding one and put it opposite of the microphone mute switch.Possible issues sometimes the microphone doesn’t register on cod mw 2.0. However this is more likely to be call of duty chat program than the headphones because it happened multiple times with other headphones as well.

Customer Review: I’ve owned the Pulse Elite headset for over two years now, and I can confidently say it remains the definitive headset for the PlayStation 5 in 2025. The sound quality, comfort, and build are top-tier — truly designed with PlayStation gamers in mind.I also use it regularly on my PC, and it works flawlessly there too. The cross-platform compatibility makes it an even better value, letting me switch between my PS5 and PC without missing a beat.Yes, there were some connectivity hiccups at launch, but Sony has long since resolved those through firmware updates. Ever since, the experience has been rock solid. Don’t let the early negative reviews sway you — this headset has aged beautifully. If you want premium performance and reliability, buy this headset. You won’t regret it!

Customer Review: I bought these for PC gaming after learning these contain planar magnetic drivers for under $200. I have been very impressed. After a month of ownership, these have become my go-to wireless headphones, in addition to being a PC headset.Pros:Lightweight and comfortable. These weigh less than the wired headphones I replaced (Logitech ProX). The headband and cups are unusual, but they give a great fit without needing adjustment. I can easily wear them for hours.Connectivity. These headphones have so many options to connect, wireless and wired! The USB dongle allows lossless wireless audio; it should be your primary connection. The USB dongle itself has great compatibility; it has been plug and play without issue on every device I tested it with. With a USB A to C adapter, I can even use the USB dongle to get wireless lossless audio from my iPhone 15! If your device doesn’t have a USB port, you can connect with bluetooth. Bluetooth will be lower quality than the proprietary lossless wireless used with the USB dongle. A unique feature is to have both connections running simultaneously. I personally have not found this useful, but I can see the use case for console gaming where you want phone audio by bluetooth for music or videos while also receiving game audio from the console over USB. The last option is a wired connection by 3.5 mm audio (aux cord). I love this option for compatibility with in-flight entertainment on airplanes, and a few old devices that don’t support bluetooth audio. This is not a passive wired connection, you will need battery power to listen to wired inputs, and adjust the volume on the headset itself. You cannot utilize any other connection simultaneously with the wired connection. If you use a 4 pole 3.5mm cord, you will utilize the microphone in wired connections too. 3.5mm cord (aux cord) is not included.Audio. Audio is crisp and snappy. You hear everything. No really! Everything! Planar magnetic drivers have a faster response than traditional dynamic drivers; giving more distinct sounds. Lossless wireless audio is a big deal. I love listening to music with these just as much as playing games.Battery life. Not an issue. They claim 30 hours. I never had these die on me, but I am pretty good about charging items not in use.Cons:Microphone. The microphone is acceptable, not good. It does have always-running (software) noise filter; In my opinion this does assist with clarity. People will understand what you are saying; you just don’t sound good while being clearly heard. This is the sacrifice for high quality wireless audio, the bandwidth for the mic. For games it is fine, but I wouldn’t use this headset for conferences.Build. The design is actually quite functional, and style is subjective. I am happy with what was delivered, but there are alot of soft touch plastics in this headset. We shall see how long it lasts. I can see it scratching easily over time.Audio. Audio is shallow. I really like how these sound. You hear everything. These do not sound booming or deep. You will hear the base, it wont sound bad or tinny, but it wont boom. You may be disappointed if you expect deep and booming sound.Mixer and equalizer. Without a PS5, you have no control over the mixer/equalizer. Out of the box these are balanced flat. If you want to adjust your sound profile, you need to do so on a PS5. Once adjusted, the sound profile is stored on the headset. If fine tuning your sound profile matters to you, you need a PS5 or a friend with a PS5 to tune your headset.Documentation. The manuals included in the box are limited. There are plenty of features just not listed in the manuals. It doesn’t even tell you how to turn off the headset! You need to check Sony’s FAQ for this headset online to learn all of its features.System behavior. Two aspects of system behavior annoy me. First, the blue LED that indicates the headset is powered on, is too bright for its prominent placement in front. Second, this headset automatically powers off after a period of no audio input. This period is a little short for me, but the worse aspect is that it does not play a tone when automatically powering off. It can be annoying when you hit play on your music, only to realize the headset is off and needs to be powered on. Please add a tone on automatic power off.Conclusion: This is the best all around headset to buy, even if you use PC and not PS5. You get lightweight, comfortable, great sounding, and wireless headset with tons of features and the unique sound from planar magnetic drivers, for under $200. The mic, while not good, is clear/comprehensible. No software controls for PC may be a deal breaker for some people.

Customer Review: No flaws so far. And honestly it looks amazing when I’m gonna show it off to others and it sounds great!

Customer Review: It’s super comfortable, I loved the color and it sounds perfectly

Customer Review: Well i like the case they have, i like they are wireless, no need to conect a cable to the controller. They have microphone. Volume adjustment on the headset….BUT honestly I was expecting louder sound , I was using my normal headphones and those sounded better than these , these dont have so much volume or base, kinda disappointed, but well I still like themEdit: well after trying them for a couple of hours, they aren’t so bad, they really do cancel out any external sounds, I did have 1 time they disconnected but I just changed the wifi receiver to the front of the ps5 and it didnt give any problems maybe on the back it got over heated , and the sound volume is ok, not so loud good base, so I can say pretty good headphones from 4 I’ll give them the 5 stars

Customer Review: The PlayStation plus elite headset is really nice. The 3-D sounds incredible. It’s very comfortable. I play a lot. It’s very comfortable because my other ones sometimes hurt my ears. This one does not it’s a little pricing, but it’s worth it.

Customer Review: Good headphones for the price. The sound is clear, and they connect easily. Comfortable to wear and work well for games and music. Not premium quality, but definitely worth it.

Customer Review: I am very satisfied with these headphones, the sound quality is very good, with clear audio and good bass level. The wireless connection works very well and connects easily, the microphone can also be heard clearly. The design is very comfortable even after using it for several hours.

Customer Review: Quality Sound quality. Value for money, Works well, Wireless connectivity, Comfort, Battery life, Mic quality, all of it out ranks the logitec i had that just stopped working after 90 days.

Customer Review: I was amazed how much quality this headphone can give with the price point. It feels little heavy but sound and mic quality is amazing. I also love the RGB effect in it. Multi connectivity is awesome I used one for my gaming node and use the BT for my Laptop just to enjoy the headphones. I love the white and black in it. It has been over four months and I cant say anything bad about it.

Customer Review: If you need a super low budget gaming headset, look no further. I haven’t had a headset for gaming because I just didn’t feel like spending the money for something I’d barely use, as I’m at best a casual gamer, but I got covid and was stuck home for a few weeks so I decided to pull the trigger. Of course, I refused to pay 20 bucks or more, so I did my amazon homework and stumbled upon these black n orange bad boys for $14.99. I was skeptical at first because it just seemed too good to be true. These didn’t have many reviews yet, despite having a 5 star rating and other headsets at the same price either seemed inferior in quality/build or had mixed reviews.I took the gamble figuring I’d just return them if any issues, but have been so far, surprisingly impressed. For a barebones entry-level headset, this one checks off all the boxes.Besides the standard features, the design and build is solid and not janky at all. The padding in the ears is very comfortable and breathable. I’ve played for hours with minimal if any ear fatigue. The stereo effect works perfectly and a couple of friends have confirmed that they can hear me clearly when I speak through the mic. I’m not sure if the sound quality is a solid 5 seeing as how I haven’t tried anything “better”, but for what I’ve used them for I couldn’t be happier. The noise cancellation is almost too good. I have to constantly check that I’m not yelling when in the middle of a heated match. 😂My one and only criticism with this product is the mic switch. Sometimes I find myself fumbling with it or forgetting I’m muted altogether. Mic swivel up to mute would be better, but at this price, I’m in no position to complain.

Customer Review: The media could not be loaded. Overall, it is a great gaming headset. I didn’t encounter any problems when using these headphones on PS4, and they worked well out of the box.Design: The design has some good angles and the color selection is simple and clean.Suitable: The fit of the headset is not too high and will not press on your ears or head, so it can extend the game time.Structure: It seems strong enough to meet your gaming needs. The connected 3.5 jack cable is long and well structured and can be hung well. The microphone boom is very flexible and can receive sound well.Audio: The stereo surround sound is good, and I can clearly hear the player crawling. The ambient noise is well shielded and I can stay focused. Not sure about the microphone pickup, but there seems to be no complaints from other players/friends.Overall: Solid purchase and even better price. I actually bought one for a gaming buddy across the pond to play and plan on shelling this out for others. Stellar product.
