Gaming Headset With Mic Monitoring

"I play Call of Duty: Mobile regularly and have been using a tablet/external monitor setup for quite some time. I'm always on the lookout for the best possible experience with gaming setups and these Alienware headphones looked like a great addition. "

"This flaw detracts from the overall experience, especially during longer sessions where monitoring one's own voice is important. Wireless performance has been flawless. ...My computer is a few feet away from me, but if the dongle is on the top of the PC, making it behind the monitor, it becomes practically useless. But, if it is on the side where I can see the dongle, it works fine. "

"It has full customizations for lighting, options for mic monitoring, EQ adjustments (on the phone app) plus the software to add for 7.1 audio (which did not do anything special for me btw, similar to the Windows spatial audio). ...Controls are all located on the left earcup, and include volume controls and mic/sound balance controls. Mic monitoring is also available, allowing you to hear your own voice through the headset when you speak. "

"Complaints/Problems: - The microphone is below average (especially compared to the Blackshark V2) - Mic monitoring is nearly worthless because it’s not loud enough, clear enough, and produces non-stop static - You cannot use Bluetooth and in-game audio at the same time like you can with the A50 X and Arctis Nova 7; you can only use one at a time - The game/chat mixer was poorly implemented, and Razer could have made it easier to use, 100% Pros: - Audio quality is solid for 40 mm drivers. ...Using the Synapse app does not help much. The Mic monitoring is decent, but I did notice a slight hum when raising the balance. "

"It also has 3 wheels: one master volume, one Bluetooth volume, and one customizable wheel (default is mic monitor). Setup: Updating the firmware was simple via the Swarm app (apparently it can be done on PC as well, though the instructions recommended using the app). ...Additionally, the microphone stands out with excellent clarity, with many of my friends commenting on how clear I sound. The built-in mic monitoring feature allows you to hear your own voice in real-time, which is so helpful as I find myself shouting unintentionally during multiplayer games. "

"There's so much emphasis on monitor quality and refresh rates, you don't fully appreciate what a good set of headphones provides in sensory depth perception. ...Excellent side tone monitoring. Cons: 1. Ear cups are not large enough for a true "around the ear" design. 2. "

"Headset is a very good start for someone looking to go for wireless, it connects so easily and the sound quality is amazing, its so useful in tactical shooter games, so if you like to sweat this is a good start, the microphone sounds super clear to my friends and it has mic monitoring, overall I haven’t had an issues with it yet"

"The first thing I adjusted was the mic monitoring and volume, as I found I couldn’t hear myself well at the start and ended up yelling. "

"Gen 2 sounds better, is easier to operate have fuether range and are more comfortable. Also, the mic monitoring is terrible compared to the gen 2s it sounds robotic instead of natural. ...That said, there’s audio presets but I like to go in, set up ANC, turn superhuman hearing on, turn down mic monitoring and be off to the races. Comparing this to my stealth pros, it’s a little tough to tell the audio difference between headsets, but that’s a good thing as it’s just crisp audio. "

"I wished it could be either compact or somewhere dock-able with the monitor stand. The battery life is really good."

"They might be perfect if you're just playing right in front your computer and monitor."

"Parental Control: As a parent, I appreciate the ability to monitor and control her gaming time, ensuring it doesn't interfere with her other activities. "

"Only other downside to the headset is the need for an app to update the firmware, but it does help monitor the charge level and adjust certain features."

"Pros: -Super comfortable (possibly most comfortable headset I have used in my 20+ years of gaming) -Clear sound with good spatial distribution -Great microphone monitoring -Convenient and easy to set up Bluetooth -Button works to control calls and music on your phone -Easy to locate and use volume nob Cons: -Cheap plastic end caps hold leather to metal frame. ...Where the voice audio that the mic outputs is fantastic, the monitoring for it sound like talking through a walky talky. "

"Works amazing with his 27in curved monitor which he had and we also purchased the sword gaming laptop a couple of months ago at Best Buy . "

"I’m still figuring out the mic settings, using the “Mic monitor level” and not breathing too hard on the mic. "

"I find myself sitting really close to my monitor and my PC is on my desk so it just barely works out but if you place your pc a little further away (like the floor or on a second desk) DO NOT BUY. ...Mic monitoring...Only issue i have is there is no ability to monitor the mic. Love the sound."

"The install was a breeze, took maybe a minute or less. I can monitor and change my audio settings through iCue. "
