Great bang for your buck
My first impression of these headphones is that they give a lot of bang-for-your-buck. The price point is low, so I wasn’t expecting much, but I was surprised. I usually use in ear wireless Bluetooth ear buds or wired earbuds with a microphone which end up irritating my ears after an hour or so. So, I found that these headphones were very comfortable. The headband is adjustable, and I use them not quite fully extended. I suspect that a person with a larger head size my wish that they could have a larger adjustment. I found them comfortable over longer periods with only minor periodic adjustments. A couple of family members also commented that they were comfortable for them as well.These headphones come with a long (over 6 feet allowing for some mobility) braided/woven cord rather than plastic covered wires which flexible and defies tangling. They come with a dual 3.5 mm jack and USB (only used to power the LED lights on the ear pieces). There are also adaptors for other devices. I just used one on my PC, Mac, and an adaptor on an iPad and iPhone (and Apple Lightning to 3.5 mm headphone jack adapter does not come with this set). The cord has a rotary volume control which provided me with plenty of volume control as well as a mute button for the microphone. I did not find a need for additional adapters other than those provided for my devices tested other than having to use my own Apple Lightning adaptor.The USB plug on the cord provides power to the LED light for the shark design on the ear pieces. In the dark they can appear quite nice. The photos that I’ve added do not do justice the intensity or the quality of the color changes of the LED lights!The microphone is adjustable vertically. We found the microphone to be strong and clear. Background noise seemed to be effectively suppresses. Again, there is a mute button for the microphone located on the cord.The earphones themselves are not noise cancelling, but are noise suppressing because they cover the ears with a soft foam around the outside, not compressing the ears if your ears fit within the covering, resulting in a comfortable fit. If the volume isn’t too high, you can make out ambient noise, which helps those who don’t want to be surprised by someone walking up upon them.I found the range of sound quite good quality, with superb bass frequencies. The sound was clear, rich and distinct. Being a male over 30, I’m not sure if I can comment on the high frequencies since most of us can no longer hear them adequately, even though we feel we can!Overall I found them to be an excellent value for a price point of under $20. Their sound quality was excellent for music and voice. To me a good headset is also a comfortable one, which this one is for me.

Budget headset
The headset can be broken down into four different sections: sound quality, build quality, comfort, and features.Sound Quality: I would say after testing the spatial sound on Rainbow Six Siege, a few YouTube music videos, and Call of Duty Cold War it is a solid 8/10 for the price. I have Arctis 1’s from Steelseries which I’ll be comparing them to as to my Steelseries is the gold standard in the hundred dollar and under price range. I was quite impressed that the sound quality was not very different from my Arctis 1’s besides from the bass being a little flat and less rich in sound.Build Quality: From the under thirty dollar perspective they’re what you get, the mic isn’t able to be horizontally positioned or bent to be more precise, the plastic is ehh, but the top of the headband seems to be a decently thick layer of memory foam so I’ll come back around to that for comfortability. All in all, I wouldn’t trust sitting on it, the ear cups have very little ability to rotate and the headset itself is pretty rigid, so just be careful with it and it should be fine. 6/10 for quality (in build materials).Comfort: This section to me is probably tied for most important along with sound quality because when you game for long periods of time you usually get one or both of these types of pain and most gamers can relate, you get the middle of your head pressure from the headband or you get the clamping pressure and the direct ear up contact on your ears due to lack of cushion. I would have to say this headset severely lacks in comfort on the ear cups, I don’t have very big or obnoxious ears that would cause a problem and this headset can unfortunately not even come close to handling them. The one redeeming quality is that from my experience, the top of the headband is sufficiently cushioned and I wish the manufacturers would’ve invested in like one more dollars worth of cushion on the ear cups and thickened them up. I would say for the sake of my ears being sore after a thirty minute use and needing to take short breaks in between games, I would rate comfort 4/10.Features: Now for the price range I was pretty impressed for the features that come with it, you don’t get a fancy mic / game dial like you would for the Arctis but you do get an overall volume slider and it comes with a headphone jack splitter for PC users like me so that we can split audio and mic which is awesome! Another cool feature is that it does have a pretty solid looking RGB for the ear cups which isn’t programmable from what I’ve found but it is a neat touch. I’ve seen mics which don’t fold on headsets or have really weird ringing in them due to set up issues and such that you need to tweak in settings but this headset is practically plug and go. One of my teammates while playing siege noticed I have a very very faint static sound when I used the mic which is a little bit of feedback but with a YouTube video you can go into your advanced sound settings and get that fixed fairly easily so I wouldn’t say that’s a big problem on PC, but unfortunately it could be on Console due to lack of customization options. I would rate the features for the price a solid 7/10.All in all I would rate this a cumulative 7/10, the biggest let down for my was comfort because I think that even on a budget my ears shouldn’t be crying for help after an hour or two of gaming with my buddies but if that doesn’t bother you I would say this is a solid buy in the price range and is very competitive.

Amazing Sound And Quality For The Price
The media could not be loaded. There are a ton of headsets on the market and most are overpriced in my experience, this is one of the exceptions. First, they look cool with the RGB shark and the LED in the mic, second, the sound is so amazing (including the mic) that I would put it up against any of my audio headsets, and third they are comfortable. I read all the reviews before I got these and the one guy that said he could not wear them for more than about 30 minutes must have a condition of some sort. I wear them for hours and they are perfectly comfortable. So for SOUND + VALUE + QUALITY this is a 5 Star headset and the fact that I could actually buy 2 of these for what some of those other headsets charge just makes me like it more.

Noise cancellation a Plus
These headphones are extremely good if you are trying to cancel out noise. The mic quality is really good for the price. The only real problem is that the headphone can be tight if you have a kinda bug head. The LED lights also add a nice touch for the people that have a lot of RGB stuff in their setup. But I would highly recommend these if you are trying to find a good pair of cheap headphones.

Great value and my son loves them
I got these for my 9 year old son and he really likes them. The sound quality is good enough for his gaming needs. The only drawback i'd say is that the mic doesn't really isolate the audio near his head, so i don't think it's really a 'noise canceling' mic, but you can't really expect that at this price point.

PS4 Gaming Headset
Bought this headset for my son, he plays on his PS4. It's a great headset, sits nicely and firmly on his head, the ear pads are comfortable and sound quality is just electric. Only gotcha, the USB port is thick and doesn't slide into the PS4 without a USB extension, for the lights. The Mic is clear and positioned nicely across his mouth. He's happy that's all I needed.

Bought this headset for my brother who’s into gaming & streaming. He was amazed at the quality for how cheap these are. He said they are even better than turtle beach (expensive brand) headsets!! The noise cancellation is excellent & sound quality is superb.He absolutely loves them.
