Review: Great Gaming Headphones! - These are great headphones!
They are lightweight, comfortable, have a good build quality,
look good, are reasonably sized, and most importantly, sound
great when gaming. I'm pretty picky about audio and have a
variety of nice audio equipment and unlike the others in this
review, these sound pretty good when listening to music as well
(an area these also won out over the others tested below).
Although these are not a 7.1 set (their pro's are), they sounded
about the same in COD: MW in my testing as various the other 7.1
headphones i tested. I didn't go with the 7.1 set of Eksa's
because they require software for the effect and because of this
are not 7.1 when used on xbox, ps4, etc. Worth noting, these
headphones actually have a compact sized volume remote which i
much prefer unlike unnecessarily huge remotes on the other
headphones reviewed below. I had a few criteria (in this order of
priority) for selection that limited what I chose to test which
were - Price (less than $40 or less) - Comfort (doesn't matter
how good they sound if they aren't comfortable right?) - Cross
Platform - No Software Requirement (They needed to not require
software to sound their best) - Build Quality - Stylish - 7.1
chip was preferred Those criteria knocked out some otherwise fine
options like the Jeecoo (usb only) that are reviewed really well
so i settled and tested the following - the Black RGB 7.1 Runmus,
the black with blue LED R Runmus 7.1, and the PeoZarr 7.1 gaming
headsets. Keeping this simple and not going to pretend I'm some
kind of 'golden' eared wonder (if you've been around and
headphone reviews / headphone forums, you'll understand what that
means) Black RGB 7.1 Runmus These sound great, they are what i
originally had only as a gift but had some mic issues and had to
return, which led me to try the Eksa's and others. 2nd pair i
tested again were fine. Great depth, the 7.1 really shines, can
isolate footstep locations in COD:MW. My brother loves them, you
will likely be satisfied if you can forgive build quality which
is cheap but sufficient. The 3(well 4) cons with these are 1)
build quality, quite plasticky, but for the price, fine 2) and
was kind of deal breaker for me, the mic isn't very flexible and
couldn't really reach my mouth despite my normal sized head which
made voicechat suffer at times (annoying white led light as well
when plugging into usb) 3) big dorky volume controller that adds
unnecessary weight 4) RGB led just looks bad and i could care
less, thought you'd be able to change the color but i guess
that's too much to ask at this pricepoint and thus totally
forgivable, i just opted not plug it in. I almost kept these but
the Eksa's were the better all-rounder and ultimately more
comfortable and sounded with music as well. I think these may
just edge the Eksa's though for games. I found them quite
comfortable and not overly hot for many hours of gaming most of
the time. For pure gaming, i think these would serve you well if
you can live with the con's. Blue LED 'R' Runmus 7.1 These are
same headphones (driver wise) as the black Runmus, specs matched
but i had to test to confirm because I could not figure out the
difference other than the shell. These DO NOT come with the USB
extension cord to use the LED's unlike the black Runmus above.
These have the better mic (much more flexible, easily hits your
mouth) and potentially better build quality? you decide, kind of
a toss up. Cons 3(or 4) 1) same volume controller issue as black
runmus 2) deal breaker, way too much clamping pressure on my head
despite stretching out 3) less ear padding it would seem than the
black Runmus PeoZarr 7.1 Popular and well reviewed for good
reason, they are cheap, very comfortable and easily the cushiest
earpads (I can see these getting warm), and sound about as good
as any of the above - did not test with music though. They also
have the most stylish LED option imo, if you're into that. I do
not recall if they came with the USB extension cord for consoles.
BUT, these are FRICKIN huge, no seriously, they make all the
others here look like baby headphones, they are ridiculously big
for no reason, you will feel like an idiot wearing this. That
being said, if you don't mind that, you'll likely be happy with
these. Cons 1) Trump level 'BIGLY HUGE' 2) same volume controller
con as the others 3) potential microphone cut out problem, not
sure, couldn't totally verify this with my brother as COD:MW has
plenty of bugs and in general, their in-game chat kind of
sucks...better to use the battle.net app which seems consistently
reliable. Hopefully, my thoughts help narrow your decision,
testing was tedious but not extensive, quite a few hours were put
in on each. In summary, i love the Eksa's, they are a great
headphone and the best all around imo for the money. I think
you'd be hard pressed to get better unless you compromise some of
my criteria above or spend a lot more money.
Review: Great product depending on your preference - Review is
based on my personal experience on PS4 only. We play call of duty
every day and having tried few different headphones for online
gaming, unlike some, so far this worked perfectly when hooked
into the controller. Following are things that I liked and also
things that could have been improved. Please read these points to
find out if this product is for you based on your preference.
First of box came slightly damaged during shipping, but
everything inside intact. So, I cannot comment on dealing with
there customer service yet. However, they came with 2 years
warranty and that too at almost half the price of popular brands.
See pictures for details on packaging and what’s included. Design
wise, I love it. The color combination looks good and material
feels very high quality. I liked most is that there are no led
lights, hence no extra usb plug, which is unnecessary and
distractive to me. The pluggable microphone, which I can take out
completely and use the mic only on PS4/PC if needed is a plus for
me. Fits good and very comfortably covering my whole ears and
well cushioned all around. Now, sound quality, the most important
part. The first reaction I got from my friends in my party was
that if I did something different because they can hear me much
more loudly and clearly. I was impressed by the depth and clarity
of sounds, especially the effects, and felt that I have been
missing out on my COD MW experience with my other headphones.
Now, some potential issues, it is not 7.1, which is available on
the pro version of this headphone. Rather, my biggest issue with
this product is that the mic and volume control switches feel
flimsy unlike rest of the product. Also, the cord is too long to
be used on handheld devices or PS4 controller since extra cords
just sits and wiggles around lap/feet. But, none of these are a
dealbreaker for me considering the sound, design and built
quality at this price range. The value by far outweighs the minor
issues hence a full score from me.
