Bought these headphones mainly for playing
Modern Warfare 2 on the Xbox. The sound quality (using the free Dolby Atmos licence included) is brilliant - I used the ready made FPS setting for online multiplayer and it really helped me in hearing approaching footsteps and the direction they were coming from. I’ve also listened to music and movies on them and again the sound is awesome. For music I reckon most people will want to mess with the EQ as the standard setting is quite light on the bass.
I noticed some reviews said the mic is too quiet but I haven’t found this. In fact, my friends said I sounded louder and more clear than with my old headset.
The build quality is top notch and they look super sleek. Despite being aimed at gaming, I’d happily wear these to the gym (if I’d gone for the other standard gaming headset I was going to get before I spotted this, I would have looked a t@*t in public in it). I got the navy version and they look great - the gold colour on the sides isn’t quite as bold as it looks in photos. It’s classy and understated. The leather ear cups are made from lamb skin and are really comfortable - they fit completely over my ears (although my ears are small!).
Connections to the app, my Xbox and to my phone have all been seamless with no dropping out.
I was tentative about ordering from this particular store after seeing their reviews (people saying high value items were missing and had been replaced with cheap items of a similar weigh, eg. shower gel) and so I ensured I ordered on my credit card for extra protection and I filmed myself opening the package just in case I needed to prove the contents to Amazon. Absolutely no issue though.
I really rate this headset and can’t fault it at such a reduced price (£180). The only niggle I have is that it needs a case but with the saving I’ll happily buy one myself.
