Surprisingly good, reliable headset for under $80 (PC only)
PROs: + Audio quality is surprisingly good all-around, for music, movies, gaming, and Zoom meetings + Relatively affordable compared to some gaming headsets you might need to take loan out to afford + Flip-to-mute mic is clear and captures audio decently + Onboard controls are intuitively laid out + Lightweight and comfortable to use all day + Subtle look is suitable for an office environment + USB-C connector charges the headset quickly CONs: - NGenuity software is Windows-only so limits the usefulness of the headset - Software leaves a lot to be desired - USB dongle required so it will take up a USB port - No Bluetooth support - Limited to 16-bit 48khz audio - No EQ to adjust audio - Shuts off after 10 minutes with no audio (and no ability to change this) - DTS:X support is either a trial or limited basis (couldn't get mine to activate the DTS:X license) - HyperX support is terrible, so don't expect help if you need it A decent headset with good audio and some annoying limitations that aren't enough for me to dock it a star. The price is good, especially if you can find it discounted closer to $50. While not an audiophile-quality headset, the sound it does put out is surprisingly good across the board. I have not been disappointed by audio from music, movies, games, or even Zoom meetings
