SteelSeriesTusq in-Ear Mobile Gaming Headset – Dual Microphone with Detachable Boom Mic – Ergonomic Suspension Design Earphones – for Mobile,Black

I already have the SteelSeries Arctis 7P+ headset and love them with my PS5....best headset I've ever owned even compared to the proprietary Sony playstation headsets....so I trusted the name already. Sometimes the full on headset is just too imersive as I game in the same room as I watch TV with my wife. Sometimes for more casual gaming sessions I need just one ear in the game and keep an ear for her as well. The full headset is akward to wear over one ear for an extended period, so I like the wired ear bud as an alternative. I can just put one earbud in and still hear whats going on around me in the house. I used to love the PSVita mobile wired headset but they broke and its no longer available so the search began for the replacement. I found this mobile gaming headset from the company I already know makes high quality products and gave them a try. The sound is increadible and the mic is super clear and chat friends say it produces perfect sound. I did compare the included boom mic adapter vs the inline mic but they said they were both good but the built in mic souded even better. I thought a boom mic on an earbud was strange but you don't even need it. I fired up COD MW2 and cranked the max volume as a test and it was actually too loud even though it was super clear. When I shot the shotgun it sounded like I was shooting a real shotgun without ear protection!!! I like the top end volume to be too much and that tells you it is a real prformer! Definately recommend this even as a primary gaming headset or mobile. No distortion at high levels and COD footsteps were easy to hear....

Find the Razer headset you like best and then buy these. I say that specifically and somewhat jokingly because i recently tried the Kraken TE headset and it just sounded so awful that without even waiting for it to be returned, i purchased these and plugged it directly into the Razer USB sound device that comes with the Kraken. The little dongle with the THX/volume/mix controls, you know. With these plugged into it, all the features that were unrecognizable in the Kraken headset suddenly came to life and worked more like they're described. LOL. it surprised me, but i'm not joking at all. As for the way they sound, they're nothing special. That says more about the Razer Kraken TE than it does these really. They fall apart a little bit at the low end. distort, when they're turned up pretty loud. which is typical. because of my hardware, i couldn't use the microphone unless i used a headphone splitter or this Razer device and i think it did affect the audio slightly, but they sounded way better than the Krakens in both plugs. I still have the Krakens and i tested them in it to see if i'd get lucky twice and it wasn't going to cooperate further. You really can't go wrong. They compete with everything in the price range pretty well, except for a couple things you might not like: the 3.5mm plug standard is "the one with THREE black line thingies" so most pc computers will need a splitter if i'm not mistaken. think it's set up for the mobiles. otherwise, i couldn't get the mic to show up. so buy a splitter if you need it. 4 pole female to dual 3 pole males. roger that? you can't go wrong for the price and i guess you can game on your phone or some crap? with a mic? are there games that have open mic chat like the pc on mobile? i have no idea. this was just an experiment for me. the microphone, when it was working through the splitter had a little bit of garbage noise in the signal, but when i plugged these into that razer dongle i mentioned the microphone sounded basically perfect? you get a very tiny amount of pop sometimes cause it's raw dog, but it actually sounds freakin' great. better than most gaming headsets for pc easily. which is funny. i'm serious too. its a great mic, i kind of wish i had a headset that was native to two male 3pole ends just like this one. i'd call that a great gaming headset. as good as or better than anything that i am aware of up to 60 dollars with the mic working normally. if you're using something that accepts the 4pole plug natively, you're probably not going to find much better than this. unless you're already set up to use an IEM, then i don't even know what you're doing here. you're addicted. get some help.

With a slight tune these can sound great, the bottom end can get a little mushy at times, not unbearably so. The cable is short, though for me that's perfect since I primarily use them with my laptop. They are a good compromise for portability, audio quality, and price. The sound quality of the drivers is better than any wireless headphones I've heard by this point, although that's more of a limitation of bluetooth that a wired headset doesn't have to deal with.The audio sounds like a slightly stankier version of my iems, the microphone has a little hum with no filtering, but even a subtle noise filter takes care of it well without destroying the audio quality. The mic is honestly better than most gaming headsets I've ever heard or used, even from headsets that cost triple what these do.Overall I'd say these are a very solid setup, if the cable proves to be too short a simple extension doesn't hurt to have ditto on a splitter if you need it. Would recommend for laptop use.

I have two pairs of these (one for me and one for my housemate). They are precisely the same.First, the microphone is VERY loose. Like, you can knock it out of the socket with an aggressive whip of the head. Furthermore, don't bother trying to replace it, because I tried two others and they fit the same and didn't work and it's hard to fit a replacement since there is a small recess that most options don't fit into.Second, the sound quality is terrible. It's "fine" at moderate to low volume, if a little anemic. However, at anything approaching medium loud to loud, they distort heavily and are absolutely unlistenable. Any significant bass breaks up and crackles and it's clear continued use will blow out the drivers.Finally, you can't fit any aftermarket tips on these. Everything just pops off. So, don't bother trying to get foam tips or other better isolating solutions. They won't fit. Even if they fit on the buds, they will not hold and will stay in your ear when you remove the buds.Find a different solution. These are like 10x the cost they should be given the quality and other options out there.
