    Wish the 3.5mm was louder

    They're nice. They feel light on the head and cover my (smaller) ears comfortably. They have a good feel and when paired with the software on PC, they sound great! The ear cups insulate really well and there's very little bleed out into the room. I happen to really like the volume knob on the side of the headset - no searching for buttons or hitting the wrong one on accident. However... and this may just be a "me" problem, but when they're plugged into my phone or tablet with the 3.5mm connection they're not the loudest. They're pretty quiet for this price range. In fact, I just checked them on PC and phone playing the same Youtube video on both. The PC topped them out at 90 dB, while the phone was just 60 dB. To verify just how much effect the phone was having, I tried the headset these are replacing and the other set I have. Those were 70 and 75 dB on the phone and high 80's on PC. This tells me the software is giving these a significant boost - which is fine if all you will ever use them for is gaming. Unfortunately for me, these are also meant to replace the headphones I wear at night watching movies - which is over a 3.5mm jack. To be fair, these are marketed as gaming headphones - though I'm not sure how they sound on a console - my kids only left me the PS3. I'm giving 4 stars for the comfort and the great sound on PC. If they weren't as good as they are there, they'd go back. They just don't sound quite good enough or get quite loud enough (for me) to use as an everyday headset for my phone. For those who are unfamiliar with what a 10 dB difference sounds like, 60 is a loud electric toothbrush and 70 is freeway traffic. Also, listening to prolonged sounds above 70 dB is bad for your ears, kids!

    Very comfy and the Mic works great. Though I feel like the volume is pretty quiet even at max and when I turn up the game audio through the settings. But the sound is clear and the surround sound is very helpful in multiplayer games. Some of the materials seem cheap, but I think overall they're a great set of headphones for under $100. Using with my Xbox Series S.

    Feels great the only downside is the volume is as others have said quite low even at max. But works well and sounds great otherwise

    Ordered these to go with the TV. The volume is not very loud at all so if you are a person who likes surround sound this may not be for you. Other than that the headphones are amazing quality! The sound is really the only thing that they should be working on.

    My bought these as a birthday gift to my pc playing boyfriend. He likes them, they are comfortable but he said they could be louder. So I’m guessing that would be the only con he has about this purchase.

    Great headset for entry level. The one and only downside to them is the volume level. It doesn't go very high max level I would guesstimate at mid range on other headsets.

    For the price and it being razer, it’s actually a really good buy. The sound is actually pretty great. Only thing I didn’t like too much, was the volume felt a little weak and I had to turn my volume knob on the headset up all the way along with volume on my monitor. Other than that, a definite recommend!

    Great Headset For The Price

    I originally was going to buy it thinking that it was 70-80$, so when I saw it on sale for 39$ I immediately jumped on it. I got it home and the fit was nice and snug and super comfortable! I liked it so much I immediately went back online and ordered a second one! I strongly recommend this. The volume could be a tad louder but that is the only nit-pick that I have.

    They’re pretty quiet even on full volume, the noise canceling isn’t great, and they warble and disconnect like crazy. When they are working and there’s nothing going on around me/it’s quiet they’re great
