A little tight around the head, but packs real punch in gaming and music audio

Pros:

1. Played Rainbow Six Siege with this headset. I could hear ash's footsteps from halfway across the map and could tell exactly where it was coming from. 10/10 for soundwhoring.

2. On control panel audio devices, you should click properties for this headset and set the frequency in 'advanced' to the max because it isn't maxed by default. It improves sound quality and crispness a lot.

Cons:

1. It's very tight and creates this kind of suction when you put it on, which feels like when you're driving to a high mountain top and your ears start getting blocked. It's not really that uncomfortable, to be honest as you eventually forget it's there.

2. The firmware updater will tell you the latest version is 0010, and that you have the newer version 0030. This is not true, Hyper X admitted that it was a mistake and that 0010 is actually the latest version. So please go to the website, download the latest firmware update even if it tells you that you're downgrading to an older version.

On PS4 it might not work until you update the firmware :)

3. Virtual 7.1 surround sound is both a pro and a con. For gaming, it's terrible and messes up the directional audio because it emulates and duplicates directional audio that most games already have. But when listening to some music, it can sound really good.

Excellent

I’m very happy with the all round quality, comfort and experience of this headset. Dita nicely over my ears and sits firm on my head without feeling like my brains are being squeezed out.
Sound is phenomenal. For music, gaming and general use. Picks up so much more, sometimes disturbingly so, especially when in a spooky place in game. Music is great, bass is bassy.
Quality is top notch. From m the extra long adaptable cord to the decorative stitching along the padded head band. Mic is easy to pop on, and works really well. No complaints from other players about poor quality. And is easily adjustable from the remote that’s attached to the cord (which has a clip on the back so you can pop it on your shirt) also has a handy mute button on the side.

I recommend these to anyone who loves seriously good sound even without it’s extra booster button.

Good Build Quality and Accessories

My friends recommended this set and I'm not disappointed.

The build quality is excellent feeling very sturdy and comfortable, the option of leather or cloth earcups is a nice addition to hopefully suit everyone (I prefer the leather cups). The weight is more than I'm used to but is still comfortable and I'd rather have a set weigh a bit more than feel light and flimsy.

The microphone is adjustable thanks to a bendy wire however it doesn't have the best travel range so you can't just fold it out of your way when not in use, instead you have to unplug it which is a minor annoyance but worth noting.

Audio quality is good however bass is lacking and there is no way to control how much bass the headset has, which is something much older Razer headsets had control for. I'm sure there's probably some program that can do it but no control is built in. The surround sound feature I find just muddles the audio to an extent, especially for music, so I don't find myself using it. For gaming the sound is clear and directional audio works fine, although it is a little quiet compared to general media volume, at-least for the games I have played, but this just meant raising the volume up while in-game so no issues there.

Arrived very quickly, much before expected arrival date and I opted for free shipping so props to the courier for that one.

Overall I'm satisfied. Much cheaper than buying it in stores and is probably the best quality (especially in build) headset for the price.

Awesome, all round.

Arrived earlier than the expected date, as usual with Amazon, and packed overly well. This was a purchase I made for my eldest son, who we're getting a gaming computer built for and so he has followed what his favourite pro player uses and of course we were able to find them on the Amazon site with no trouble.
He had always used a different brand previously and was a bit dubious about how these would be, but he absolutely loves this pair and said they are more comfortable, have better sound quality, better noise cancellation and more options for personal preferences. So he is a very happy chappy!!
Once again, no problems with this purchase from beginning to end. So please keep up your fantastic work, as you have one very, very gratefully buyer.

for me it's a total package

I got these to replace my dated earbuds that I use for my phone and Quest, and right out of the box, I was impressed with both the sound quality and design of the headphones.

The detachable mic is a great addition, and the extender that connects it via USB is a good alternative for those that don't have access to a jack. The only thing that kept it from a 5-star review was the size.
My ears are somewhat large, so most won't have an issue, and even if you do, it's nothing major.

Overall it's a great headset for listening to music, watching movies and playing games with.

I rate this headset - coming from Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro

I play competitive CSGO and these headphones are really well rounded and provide great comfort and sound quality at the same time. I use Sound Equalisation in Windows settings and can hear a lot in-game. I feel as if this headset is really well balanced for all in-game audio, especially compared to the Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro (which are great headphones, but for gaming I think these are better). Microphone quality is generally quite good, I had a situation where I sounded robotic, but resetting my PC alleviated that issue.

Quality Gaming Headset

Reviewed in Australia on 8 December 2020

I've been using this headset for a few days now and they've worked wonders, the sound quality is brilliant and is only made better by the HyperX audio dongle, specifically in video games. Outside of this however, the 7.1 enhancement feature isn't the best for watching videos or listening to music, as it does more to distort them, whereas with video games it serves to make positioning and other noises far clearer. Aside from this, even without use of the audio enhancement feature the headset manages to impress with both audio and mic quality.

A great way to escape the horrors of reality

Best money i've spent on headphones. Really happy with these, so comfortable and great sound. I can totally forget about everything bad I've done in my life with these. I'm a WoW player and it creates a far more immersive environment, especially during dialogue parts of the game where it moves perfectly with the character.
-Alloy construct is amazing
- Detachable mic is high quality in sound and construct, doesn't feel flimsy/cheap
-remote is super handy
