A: I’m pretty sure I saw a setting in the hyperX software for mic monitoring volume.

I hesitated a little when purchasing this headset mostly because by looking at the box, I wasn’t sure if they would be worth the $$. There isn’t any in store for hands on feel,l. Anyway.. I can assure you that as far as build quality. These headsets are worth the asking money. The headband is very strong and sturdy but comfortable. The parts that connect the earcups to the headband are metal. The microphone is pretty large and the braided cable feels premium. I’ve worn the earcups for about 2/3 hours per gaming session and my ears never really fatigued. The volume knob on the right ear up is in a convenient location. I like the microphone mute button, but I wish it was a little larger. It has a nice click when pressed though. The microphone has a small red LED light that will let you know if the microphone is muted. Sound quality is good. Not the greatest, some effects are a little “tiny” and unnatural sounding with these ear cups. Don’t know if it’s the headphones fault or the games I play. Bass could be better but Explosions and gunfire sound loud and full. I haven’t had an issue with the microphone, my friends haven’t complained of me sounding too low. My favorite part about these headphones is that they can be used with every console and device I own. They “pair” with a 3.5mm headphone Jack, so I can use them with my Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo switch and PC. No finicky software to download, just plug the em in and go! All in all, I think these are a solid and very good sounding pair of headphones and I would recommend them over other headsets in this price range. If you’re looking at $60/ $70 headphones, spend a little extra and grab these. They are worth it.

I wasn’t expecting much at first, but this headset ended up being way better than I thought. The sound is super clear—footsteps, gunshots, everything comes through sharp, and the bass hits without being muddy. The mic is clean too; my friends said I sound way clearer than with my old headset. It’s comfortable for long sessions, the padding doesn’t get annoying, and it feels lightweight without feeling cheap. Battery life is solid and it connects to the PS5 with zero issues. No random disconnects or crackling. Overall, just a really good headset for the price. Great sound, great mic, and actually comfortable. Easy 5/5.
