20 Best Gaming Headset For Streaming (2023 Updated)

TL;DR: excellent sound quality, reasonable sound isolation, excellent comfort and adjustability, the convenience of Bluetooth, and good battery life with quick charging. The Logitech G HUB Gaming Software is more frustrating than helpful.

The Logitech G735 Aurora Wireless Gaming Headset is a super comfy, adjustable headset with Logitech’s signature attention to detail for button layout and configuration (it’ll take you a minute to learn the layout, but once you do, everything has a place and a satisfying click when pressed).

The ear padding is comfortable and provides a reasonable amount of natural sound isolation. The microphone has great pickup and flexibility, can be removed and stowed, and you can even directly connect via USB-C or audio jack if you want.

The audio range, quality, and volume ranges were great. The headset is light while having a ton of adjustability to make the fit more comfortable and secure without being pinchy. The battery life is sufficient for a wireless all-day stream (and an all-nighter if you have the LEDs off).

In terms of visual appeal, these definitely fit the bill for a fun look while streaming (the exterior LEDs have a soft glow without being overly bright or intrusive – they give a visual indicator of the button you push as well and can be customized – theoretically – through the Logitech G HUB Gaming Software).

For streamers, one of the cooler aspects of the Aurora series is that you can customize the look with add-on accessories (the keyboard and mouse can match the aesthetic and they even sell matching Blue Yeti mics).

If you do any sort of wide shots of your desk/setup, the whole Aurora set is certainly eye-catching. Here’s why I rated it 4 stars instead of 5: on two separate devices, no matter what I did, I could not get the Logitech G HUB Gaming Software to recognize that I’d connected the headset, which meant the Blue Vo!ce filters and the RGB customizations mentioned all over the box are inaccessible.

and I couldn’t figure out an alternate way to gain access to those customizations. This is a major issue for plug-and-play streamers who want a no-fuss setup (and realistically: your gaming rig has it’s own gaming software, plus Steam, plus Discord, plus OBS, plus.

) and so you end up needing yet. another. piece. of. software. to do something which should just be integrated as a plug-in to any one of those existing software setups instead. All in all: if you want a good looking gaming headset that can coordinate your entire rig’s color scheme and have the time to fuss with the software, the Logitech G735 is a great choice.

I bought 4 gaming headsets for my Gaming PC in the last 2 days, because all gaming headsets have bad mics. If they don’t malfunction out the box, they’ll malfunction within 1 year. Sure enough, 2/4 headsets had bad mics: the Astro A10, the Stealth 600 Gen 2 Max USB-Xbox.

I returned the Razer Kraken Ultimate 20 mins after I bought it, so I didn’t test its mic and audio for PC gaming. The Hyper Cloud was the only gaming headset that had a great mic for my Gaming PC. The audio isn’t the best, in terms of highest quality, but good enough to play any game.

If you want headphones ideal for getting the best music experience, these aren’t it. But if you want a functioning mic for online PC Gaming, I’d recommend. You don’t have to eat the mic to have good mic volume and the standard mic boost that you’re able to adjust is plenty to ensure regular conversation you speak through your mic registers at nearly 100 percent volume every time.

ALWAYS purchase the 2-year warranty [from Best Buy] when buying a gaming headset, esp. for PC gaming, because the Mics WILL GO BAD within a year.

So I got these because I needed a headset that had a good, clear mic for my PS5 since my Krakens didn’t sound all that great with my voice. This was one of the few headsets that had more good reviews than bad when it came to the mic.

However. Big nope. I tested these out, messing with settings and all that, and there was a terrible echo. No matter what I did. The more I messed with settings and volume and position eventually it just got worse.

They also didn’t feel as comfortable as my Krakens. So, overall, disliked. Mic didn’t work with PS5, bad echo. Weren’t super comfortable. Didn’t feel like the sound was any better than the Krakens. So I returned them.

The only reason I gave 2 stars is that they were mostly white instead of white with enormous touches of blue, green, red, etc. It’s not easy to find JUST WHITE (why is that?). These have a rim of blue around the ear pads but really isn’t that bad.

Look, I was suspicious with all these (Basically) paid reviews whom received the product for free. I got the white pair because I couldn’t grab the black. They’re super comfy over ear and have decent sound quality.

They’re nothing special, but they are above average (Or a step up from the cheap 20 buck headphones you can get) I’d say. It’s certainly a decent product, but not worth full price. If you can pick them up for below 40 like I did, they’re a steal! If you’re still on edge about buying these, I haven’t regretted it for a good pair of over ears that I can use without the mic.

Can’t comment on the quality of said mic because I got a Razer Seiren Mini on special and use that instead. Quality isn’t the best, the plastic feels cheap, but I guess for a product that’s not on the high price end that’s what you get.

Audio quality: 3/5. Mic: N/A. Comfort: 4/5 Quality: 3/5. Overall: 3/5. Good pair for kiddies getting into gaming or a cheap tie me over pair whilst you save for the better quality ones out there.

Got these for my little brother 2 years ago and he uses them NONSTOP, for everything. After 2 years the cushions are wearing down and just last week the right ear stopped working. The reason I would still rate them 4.

5 stars is because normally when he has a pair of headphones they barely last a month! However I only gave 3 stars for quality category because although they are rugged and lasted him- the 1 earphone stopped working which is a manufacturing defect.

Since he took care of these I was going to allow a more expensive pair. He said nope- he wants another pair of these so that’s what I’m getting.

These are really good headphones. No, they’re not just really good gaming headphones. They’re good headphones. With a microphone attached. Pros: Great audio quality. “Gaming” headsets are often bass-heavy with no high or mids, but these are the most balanced headphones I’ve ever used that say “Gaming” on the box.

Compared to the ATH-M50s that I have beside them (plugged into an external USB interface) they’re obviously not as balanced, and just plugged into my motherboard the quality isn’t as superb, but considering that, they sound pretty good.

Isolation. The pads haven’t gone bad yet, and I’m not sure they’re even starting to. My replacement M50 pads are still a little stiff and I can feel my heartbeat through my temples while wearing them, which is kind of annoying, but these isolate that really well.

I can wear them for hours without discomfort, even when wearing glasses. They isolate well and seal well, covering the whole ear. Some headphones say they do that, but they’re made for people with baby ears or something.

If you’re a human with normal sized ears, these will work for you. Microphone. I’ve recorded myself a bunch, and the microphone sounds really damned good. My friend on Discord uses a cheaper Logitech headset, and he is consistently overdriving the microphone on it, and he’s not that loud.

It wasn’t until he heard how good my mic sounded that he realized he needed a new headset. It’s very adjustable too and stays in place, and you can take it out if you want (it comes unattached). Cord is more than long enough with the extension that comes with it.

Build quality is beyond solid. Part that goes on your head is comfortable. Cons: Heavy. I thought my M50s were heavy, but these are another degree higher. It’s mostly aluminum and heavy plastic, so don’t expect light headphones.

The cups don’t swivel, which is sometimes a nice feature to have, but it’s not that big of a deal to me. Being a headset, and even though the microphone is good quality, you will hear yourself breathing onto it despite the foam quasi-windscreen filter it has.

If your mouth is too close, hard consonants will pop regardless of the filter. Don’t expect it to be like a professional sports commentator’s wind filter. It’s light. Great headphones.

Had for over a year now and I absolutely love em! Have not had a single issue yet. I use them with a PS4, for movies, shows and especially gaming. I was amazed by how well i could hear enemy foot steps.

The faintest of sounds can be picked up and with the built in surround sound it is easy to determine where that sound is coming from. The amazing sound quality truly does bring gaming to life, and will completely change ones experience.

The mic sounds clear and crisp and can be detached when not used. They are adjustable and have very comfortable ear pads. The headphones also feel durable and rigid, not like some headphones which are all plastic.

These will not give you that cheap plastic squeeking when using them. Can wear all day with no discomfort. Ive used these a lot! They still look and function as if i opened the box yesterday. These scream quality from the box all the way to the sound.

For those in the market for quality headphones, look into the hyper cloud series.

Brief overview: Solid headphones with EXTREMELY flimsy head cushion I’ve done quite a bit of research for new headphones since my old ones finally stopped working after 3 years. I was torn between this product and the Arctis Pro Wireless.

Arctis is extremely difficult to find anywhere, so I compromised and went in and picked this up from my local BB. As soon as I finished unpacking the headset and plugged in the (admittedly sleek) charging base, I put the headphones on for the first time and felt the top cushion just pop right out of place.

I do have a very slightly larger head than average but nothing that has ever caused a problem on any other headset I’ve ever used. The headset was at it’s longest extension and the cushion barely touched the top of my head and just popped out of the two small holes that are supposed to hold it in place.

No amount of fiddling will get it to STAY in place while it is being worn. The slots will click back into their correct place, but as soon as the cushion touches the top of my head it just pops off. After some googling, I found this is not an uncommon complaint, but it is something I did not come across while researching this headset, so I was taken by surprise for sure! Normally this would not be a dealbreaker, but the headset is extremely uncomfortable without the top headcushion.

The support website for Astro products is, quite frankly, a joke. In my opinion, they are hiding or obfuscating the correct place to go to submit a product warranty claim or request, and the only way I found was to submit a ‘support ticket’ that will maybe be answered in 2-3 business days.

Additionally, I can call during regular business hours, but only for technical support? I’m not sure how customers are supposed to get fast product support from this manufacturer. I will try to be fair and give the pros I’ve noticed: -Great sound quality for movies, TV, and gaming -Charging station is pretty cool looking and compact -Headset fits nicely (when the top cushion is in place) -Mic is unobtrusive and flexible, with great Mic Monitor setting that can be switched on and off -Headset fits very nicely on the charging base and unlike other reviews I’ve seen, it is not difficult to get it charging at all -Charging progress bar on the base -Easy to adjust height of the top of the headset A final small complaint I have, I was under the impression that this required no wires besides the power plug, as in, no need to connect it to my laptop/PC or Xbox.

Well, the power cord must plug directly into whatever you are using, meaning that for those who wish to have as few wires as possible may not be pleased. All in all, if this is what $300 gets you in 2023, you may want to spend your money elsewhere if you don’t want to try your luck on a faulty cushion (or as some others have mentioned a potentially faulty charging system!) I will likely not be waiting 2-3 business days for a response from the manufacturer and returning these to BB, I recommend if you’re still reading this review that you look into Arctis Pro Wireless, which I will be buying after this experience.

Lets start out the the good for starters, its lightweight with minimal clamping force so its fairly comfortable to wear, and having a base deck to charge the headset is a cool concept, the fact that i can switch between xbox mode and pc mode is pretty cool, and the wireless connection has a pretty strong connection going to the other end of my apartment while other headset couldn’t even go to the next room.

And sadly thats about it for the good about the headset. I guess lets go to the bad. The connection, now i know i just complemented it but its also pretty bad, it makes a tiking noise and the volume of the tiking noise varrys on the content your on, game/yt/Spotify, and it tiks the loudest on yt, and these tiks aren’t just annoying rhe actually do hurt sometimes and the only way to fix it is by unplugging the base and plugging it back in.

The audio is pretty bad for $300, the $100 Microsoft headphones are almost as good as it, the mids are fine, the highs bled into the mids alot and the lows aren’t there, there is poor base its just mid, even changing the eq on its software it still didn’t help, the only thing that made the audio good, was the dolby atmos app.

Enough with the audio, the mic, oh god the mic, you think for a $300 headset the mic would blow the roof off compared to a $60 headset right, wrong dead wrong, the quality it literally the same, only thing that the a 50s mic brings to the table is the ability to hear every little tiny movement you do, almost as bad as the artics 9x.

Oh yeah you know how i said it pretty light weight and low clamping force and fairly comfortable well its also a dubble whammy, the low clamping force means that just one head shake the headset is gone, and if you where glasses even thin frames like mine it whill make a weird squeaky noise, the top headband pops out really easy and the top head bands pad squished to none after a month.

Why doesn’t this headset have Bluetooth!! Its $300, even the cheapest headsets have Bluetooth. Oh the base deck, terrible, ehy include a base deck that has no function besuded to charge, see what battery percentage, see what mode your on (xbox/pc) and to see what preset your on, why does the a40s have all that plus volume control but not the a 50s.

That makes not sense. Also, why doesn’t this have a 3. 5m jack, if you run out of battery you have to wait an hour to even be at 50%. Speaking of battery i should mention the fact that the actual charging for this heaset is so finicky, you have to fiddle around to make sure its on correctly and wait for the lights to pop up but sometimes even when all that seems good it still wont charge.

Overall this headset is really bad, you’ll honestly be better off with the Microsoft headsets and the turtle beach volume control, i cant even recommend this, heck i can’t even recommend a single astro if there top of the line most expensive one is absolute mid.

As you may or not know, Astro A50 Base Station function as its own sound card, so it can separate audio channels for PC. These audio channels are: Astro a50 (Game), Astro a50(voice) and Astro a50 (line in).

Now the last one is mostly for streaming purposes; I use it to connect my phone and add some jams to my gaming session. Superb audio quality and customization. To the point: Astro A50 (Game) not working.

Sometimes it does not appear as an option, so all audio (voice chat and game sound) goes to Astro A50 (Voice). It makes it all sound terrible and the manual balance between game and voice wont work. Sometimes Astro A50(Game) disappears and Astro A50 (line in) shows up.

Causes error on my system indicating with a blue screen that a device did not close properly and then the headset stops working (no output, no input). Its been like this for a while now, I have tried a lot of tricks and methods one can find online, but nothing seems to fix this issue.

I have been waiting for a firmware update but its not happening. It seems like Astro Gaming was left to die, at least for PC. Or maybe my headset is defective. Im sensing this started happening after the last firmware update, which was around the same time I upgraded my system, maybe its just a coincidence.

I have been trying to manually downgrade the headset’s firmware, but it seems like Astro took away support DL from their website. Now this is a high-end, very expensive gaming headset which I purchased with the intention of using it for at least 5 years before they start to break down, (I take really good care of my gadgets) Its only going to be a couple years by the end of this month (Jan 2022) and im probably out of warranty but if this is it for the top tier gaming headsets from Logitech, its a big fail as a company and I feel like Ive been ripped off.

Headset FW version: 36179. 43 Base Station FW version: 36799. 43 System: Alienware M15 R6 Intel i7 11th Nvidia RTX 3070 Windows 10.

Even though these are billed as “gaming” headphones, the audio quality out of them for conference calls and high-end audio sources alike is extremely impressive. Right out of the box these need very little tweaking.

When you do want to tweak though, you can use the Audeze HQ app on your phone, or download it on your Mac or Windows. The software can be a bit glitchy on Windows, and is by Audeze’s own admission still in active development, but overall the features and controls available are fantastic.

The head tracking feature is really cool but can easily lose center if you move around a bunch like leaning down to grab something off the floor that you knocked off your desk – it will start to wander to one side or the other when you do this.

Fortunately, there is a button on the left earpiece which lets you reset the center quickly and get your balance back to normal. I have to say it is pretty awesome and creepy at the same time to be on a call and do a 360 spin in your chair and you hear the voices stay exactly where you centered the headset.

Brings a bit of that “in-person” reality back to calls without having to use the ****** laptop speakers to get there. The microphone comes across amazingly clear from everyone I have talked to. They have all said it is the clearest sound they have heard from someone on a call, and we’re basically experts at this point thanks to everyone now being remote.

Bluetooth works reasonably well and hasn’t dropped connection at all, but I prefer to tether with a cable still just for the added reassurance that I’m getting the best signal. Playing a lot of my favorite artists on Qobuz have a brand new feel to them.

The highs are not ear shattering, and the bass won’t rattle the cans off your ears, but there is more than enough to make these deliver perfectly bright highs and punchy accurate bass response for rich immersion.

I first discovered these at AXPONA and thought they were a bit gimmicky hooked up to a video game demo, until I sat down and really listened to them. Sure, these aren’t nearly as nice as Focal, Meze, or even some of the other Audeze options, but again for this price point they are amazing at a fraction of the cost with the same planar magnetic technology as the expensive pairs.

I purchased a pair that day while still walking around the conference. I’m not currently using an amplifier or a DAC with them, but I do plan on purchasing an AudioQuest Dragonfly to really make the most of these until my next upgrade, especially for mobile listening.

These headphones far surpass any other “Gaming” headset/headphone in their price range immensely in regards to audio quality. However — these just simply do not support full wireless gaming on a PC due to bluetooth limitations.

The Audeze Mobius headphones/headset only supports Bluetooth wireless technology, so while you can get an audio signal to the device pretty clear from a Windows machine, you will NOT be able to do both audio + microphone over a single bluetooth connection.

If you plan to use this device as a wireless gaming headset, or plan to use the microphone + audio at the same time wirelessly, please look elsewhere. If you plan to use this headset wired via USB C, and are okay with that, then this is absolutely an incredible product and I cannot praise it enough.

I eventually looked elsewhere for a product that is truly wireless, but I sure do miss the audio quality of these things. nothing has compared.

BUYER BEWARE Now make no mistake, there is no better gaming headset on the market. The sound quality is insane and a bargain at 400 dollars and the on board mic is adequate. The 3D gimmick turns out to be more then that and remains an enjoyable function you will miss on any other headset.

However this all come with a gargantuan colossal BUT, and that is the build quality is unbelievably, unapologetically bad. You can see from the pictures that it is aesthetically good looking and it is comfortable to wear, even if it is a little heavy.

what the pictures don’t show you is a horrible design flaw. The design flaw is that the plastic above the ear swivels is incredibly prone to just. breaking in half, rendering the headset completely useless.

Mine broke in just five months, and I took good care of it. And no the warranty will not cover you. In my quest to find a repair to the issue I have found that this is an exceptionally common problem among Mobius owners and you can even find 3D printer files for replacement swivels.

that’s how prevalent the issue is. So overall the Mobius is an exceptional headset that is marred by the inexplicable reason to use cheap Chinese plastic that is prone to breaking on a premium 400 dollar headset.

I’ve had this for over 2 years now, and it still works like new! Seems pretty reliable, especially for the price. It might’ve actually been more expensive when I bought it two years ago. Microphone doesn’t sound great, honestly could be better.

Doesn’t work very well on Discord but it’s good enough. If you’re an audiophile then this definitely isn’t the headset for you. In my opinion, the max volume of the headphones doesn’t reach high enough when you really want to jam out (unless the max output volume has deteriorated as a result of wear, or my ears have just gotten worse).

And you can’t adjust EQ or anything, but what do you expect from a $30 headset with a 3. 5mm output? Side note: the scroll for the volume behind the right headphone can really come in handy, definitely a nice touch.

This headset is plug and play which is also nice. Overall a decent product, once again good for the money. But if you want a better quality and stronger microphone, as well as stronger and better audio, I’d say save for a better headset.

Theae headsets are amazing for the price point. Sound quality is on the flat side, really close to a monitor headphones with good amount of soundstage to make it easier to detect your surroundings in fps, rpg, etc.

Not a lot of bass, but that’s how I like my headphones so these are perfect for me in that aspect. Microphone is adequate but nothing amazing. For the price it’s fine. These fit my head comfortably and I can play for hours without any issues or discomfort.

The parts that I don’t like are the volume control and the method of muting the headphones. Vol control isn’t great, doesn’t have good controls and it’s on the headphone part, not on the cord where I prefer it to be.

The way you mute the mic is to lift/pivot it up, and when it’s muted it makes a pretty loud clock sound that the others can hear. If the vol control and mic mute buttons were on the line, this headset would have been perfect, especially considering the price point.

I hate to give his a average rating, but I really dislike inline-type wires. Always have bad luck with them. This time, it might be my fault: Built my own PC, project took a few days [2nd time building one, was still a noob].

My inline ports could be at fault, but when I got this headset, I had trouble connecting it, having it work and be detected. Got it to work, was fine for a few days, and then just refused to work, no matter what I did.

Now, on to the good: Great sound for the price, immersive. Almsot too much, had to take it off to talk to anyone nearby. But alone, when you are in the middle of a gaming session, you get enveloped in the experience.

I really liked the sound, and I’m not a sound enthusiast. It’s good stuff. While it didn’t work for my PC, I gave it to a family member who has just gotten their own gaming PC. She has had zero issues since day one, and continues to use them when playing multiplayer games.

If you are like me, and you have trouble with or hate inline style wires, avoid. Otherwise, it was good while it lasted for me, and my donatee is happy with them.

i’ve been using the headset for about 3 weeks now and i can say im very happy with it. My only concern has been the joints where the headphones meet the headband as theyre kind of weak looking – but theyre solid and made out of solid material and after having the headset in hand its not much of a concern.

The sound quality is great after a little bit if fine tuning in the steelseries eq software that you have to download for the headset. It doesnt sound amazing out of the box with no eq settings but its still passable but with the eq its definitely a LOT better so play around with it and get it to where you like your sound.

The mic is a lot better than i had anticipated aswell. I’ve watched multiple reviews on the headset before deciding to purchase it and was very pleasantly surprised to find out that the mic is loads better than my previous headset mic.

(hyper x cloud stinger). Given that is a budget option it makes sense, but i was under the impression wireless headsets compromise the quality of the microphone. Well that seems to be kind of false as this mic is actually very good.

The only thing i would suggest is getting a little foam tip pop filter for the mic as S sounds can have a hiss to them from this mic but other than that i would say its pretty flawless. The skimask type headband also surprised me with how comfortable it is its a very comfortable headset and doesnt cause any discomfort over long periods of time.

If you have a humungous head then this headset may be hard to fit on your head but the biggest setting fits me comfortably. (6’4″ 210 lbs for reference with fairly sizable head). The only knock i can put on this headset is that it doesnt come with an aux cord so you can plug your phone or what have you into the receiver to listen to music while gaming at the same time.

The headset also has a game/chat wheel feature which is very nice if you get into clutch moments and need to only hear the game and shut off any discord sounds in the background of loud friends or what have you.

Overall this headset is worth the purchase and if youre looking at getting a new wireless headset i would recommend it as it beats headsets in terms of quality at even higher price points than this. Steelseries has done a good job with their headsets and if you get even newer models im sure they’d have improved on what they had already established.

PS: Im glad i did research before ordering as the Arctis 9x and the arctis 7 are essentially the same headset but i thought higher number = better headset like a monkey brain. The sole difference is that the 9x is specifically for console whereas the 7 can be used for basically everything (could be wrong) but it works for PC and should have SOME compatibility with consoles but not full capabilities.

But the 9x is specifically FOR xbox. So if you mainly play on PC then dont even look at the 9x model.

So far using them I’ve notice no issues. The mic was just a little low (not problematic low) until I downloaded the steel series engine/ driver. There, your able to adjust everything. The sound is very clear and crisp even turned up.

There’s no echo on the other end and it’s comfortable around the head and ears. I haven’t tried using them wired yet, but the wireless mode hasn’t given me a reason to. Keep in mind these are NOT bluetooth.

They are wireless through a 2. 4Ghz dedicated transmitter which is how it’s lagless. I’ve notice no lag and the battery is great. I guess now it’s all on their durability. Let’s see how long they last.

Oh by the way I snagged them for $99. RIght now on their website they’re having a sale. Microcenter was willing to do price match on this item as well. I have zero complaints as these are strictly for my PC used for gaming.

Everyone I knew warned me that the charging port would go bad. I assumed it was just unlucky. Nope. Within 7 months it will no longer charge unless you hold the wire just right while there’s a quarter moon in retrograde.

This is with normal use and without any ripping the cord out or jamming it in. Because of the warnings of my friends, I tried as hard as I could to be careful with it, but it still biffed it 7 months in.

But the sound quality is good. The Sonar feature is amazing and really enhances the surround sound of the headset. The comfort is perfect for me and the ability to adjust the volume mix on the headset itself is awesome.

If only it would actually charge.

I got these after yet another cheapie headset broke on me. I figured if I was going through them ever 3 months or so I might as well use something better. This headset is superior and I wish I had it sooner! The cordless design is amazing.

I can now game on my couch instead of putting a chair close enough to my TV that my cord will reach. this is a feature that I I thought was an unnecessary luxury, but it actually is such a nice feature that I’m going to consider it essential from now on.

The charge is great! I didnt time it, but the battery lasted the entire week, which was better than I expected! The sound quality is great too. I didn’t realize what I was missing with my other sets until I heard noise on these.

Game changer. This is a great headset and I’m glad to have it! It has taken my gaming to a new level of immersive fun. Complete game changer forsure!.

I got the HyperX Cloud Flight S headphone to use with my Playstation 4. I have been using the headphones for a few weeks now and I absolutely love them. First they are very comfortable compared to other headphones I have used in the past.

I really enjoy the pivoting of each side to allow me the possibility of keeping the sound off on side of my head. The headphones do a great job of blocking out sound from outside of the game. The sound is very clear.

My friend said he is able to hear me crystal clear on the other end. The battery also lasts longer than I expected which was a pleasant surprise. There are no bad things I can say about these headphones.

I would recommend these to anyone.

I was very excited to receive another Logitech product to review. On first impression they looked cheap and poor quality because everything is plastic. However, this does keep them nice and lightweight (240 grams), which is more important than ascetics when they are being worn for hours at a time! To aid support there is an adjustable blue and purple patterned fabric strap that supports the frame, and is good and comfortable, unless you have a hairstyle that sticks up! The sound quality was good whilst playing, and the ear pads, which have a material finishing did a good job of keeping the sound from bleeding out, whilst providing the comfort for the many hours I played.

The fact these were lighter than my current pair meant that I hardly noticed them. There is a wheel in the corner of the left cup that controls the volume, which was a little bit fiddly to start with.

The microphone was fine and other gamers could hear me clearly, so no issues there. One feature was that you can flip it up out of the way and it will automatically mute. It has a PC headphone splitter, which is handy if you need one (which enables you to plug into separate headphone and microphone sockets) so you could use for video calls on your laptop or PC too! The length of the cord is more than adequate, though I neglected to measure it! Whilst they lack the Surround sound capability of more expensive headphones, I didn’t notice any discernible difference in the games I used them with, the sounds playback was immersive and pretty good, though I would have preferred more bass, and perhaps have that controllable, like the volume wheel.

As they have a 3. 5mm standard headphone jack I also used them in conjunction with my smartphone to watch YouTube and a couple of download programmes on BBC iPlayer, and I preferred them to the wired earphones I normally use.

Overall, I was pretty impressed, and they are pretty stylist and in addition to the performance I thought the build quality was also good. These are described as mid-market and were very good value for money and a cheaper option if you’re strapped for cash (as a lot of money already spend on games) and cannot afford the wireless G773 version in the range.

I have the black pair, but they are also available in mint green and white.

As I am a heavy Gamer, I’m always looking for the best headphones to enjoy my games. I across this Logitech G335 and here’s that I think. The quality is not the best, and it’s not the worst, It’s just good.

You can hear the sounds you need to hear in the game such as footsteps, gunshots, dialogue etc I just wish they were more immersive. They are very comfortable to wear, the memory foam buds allow for long sessions.

I wore them for 8-9 hours straight and didn’t have any problems, I wish I could say that for my previous pair. I like the look of the headphones even though they do look a little cheap. The purplish and bluish headband adds flare to the headphones and they can also be adjusted which is handy.

Unfortunately they are wired and after using wireless for the last 5 years, I prefer wireless as it gives you more freedom. I recommend these headphones if you’re on a budget, they do the job. If you wish to spend more money then there are better ones out that that offer more, such as wireless with better audio quality and 3D immersive audio.

Just got these to replace my 1st gen astro A20s. The sound quality is good just not quite as good as the astros imo. I got these based on reviews I read & I’m happy with the purchase. Very light compared to my old headset & looks great.

I wouldn’t use these for listening to music as the bass is lacking a little but great for gaming. I’ve tested on fortnite & cod mw & mw2. Good balancing in game and you can hear enemies very well. Look nice & again so light.

9/10 (Not compatible with g hub unfortunately) Solid gaming headset.

Very sad by this whole situation. Poor quality. I will update this once and if someone decides to contact me from astro to fix the issue. I will document further on their efforts, if any. Thanks for your time reading this.

For games/voice chat, yes. For extended games/voice chat, yes. For superior to apple quality earphones, yes. For audiophiles, why are you even here.

Since I wanted to get into streaming and creating my own videos, I am really happy that I found this starter kit. I have heard some questionable reviews in regards to the headset but in all honesty, I can say too much due to the fact I have only been using these products for about a week.

What I can say though is for the price, getting both a good headset and excellent mic for cheaper than either would be by itself is absolutely a no brainer. The external mic is great and so clear with just a plug and play set up.

I am still a beginner with mics but it does have some heft to it but that’s honestly a plus because it can’t get knocked over so easily and just feels durable. It has a quick “tap to touch” mute button right on top and big so it’s very quick to mute if you need to with a corresponding light to know when it’s muted or not.

Not too big nor small and it has a sleek appearance to it so it’s nice to look at Again, I haven’t had a whole lot of extensive experience with any headsets but as a beginner I am happy with the headset.

The noise cancelling foam is adequate enough especially in combination with the crisp audio quality that I typically play while my father is in the same room watching TV at a decently loud level. In terms of comfort, I think they’re good.

I can last about 45min-1 hour before I feel a decent amount of pressure. This could just be because I am not used to wearing headphones ever so maybe this is just an unavoidable result with any extensive wear with headphones but I just wanted to note it.

I wear hoop earrings and for the most part they don’t get in the way but as a preference, I find no earrings much more comfortable.

Wow. The SoloCast microphone is what I’ve been looking for for like 4 years. seriously. I have lost count of how many headsets I have tried (ones ranging to almost $200) and I’ve always come to the same problem “you’re too quiet”.

while yes, I know I am 80% of the problem (I have a quiet voice) I have kept hope that I would eventually find a mic where people could actually here me. This is it. I’ve found it. The only reason I got the mic with the headphones was because it was on sale for the same price as if I had just gotten the mic so I thought, “why not”.

I don’t feel like I can give a super accurate review for the headphones. I’ve tried like 3 HyperX headsets at different times (so I never realized they all had the common issue I speak about below, and I have realized just now) and I’ve never had great success with them.

HOWEVER, The night of writing this review, I tried connecting just regular headphones in, and I had the same audio issues that I have experienced with this Cloud Core headset and the other HyperX sets.

I am ALSO now realizing they all use the Realtek audio. I have a feeling that’s the issue, and not the headset itself. The issue is an electric buzz sound after anything slightly louder then normal comes through.

So it happens while someone is talking in discord or in music where the singers voice goes a pitch higher. other than that buzz, they do have a very clear sound and are very noise canceling, and I feel that they’re definitely worth a try for some.

Realtek is kinda buggy, but it’s not the headset’s fault. Like I said, I only really bought this for the mic, so I’m leaving my overall rating at 5 stars because, seriously, I’m so incredibly happy with the mic.

If I was reviewing the headset, I’d probably give it a 3 unfortunately. maybe HyperX could add in their own audio thingy (idk what it’s called) instead of having it use Realtek, then I think this headset would be amazing.

Overall, incredibly happy. I will gift the headset to someone who isn’t having Realtek issues :).
