The biggest difference is the metal body and earcups on the Esports Edition. The mic on both is a boom-style mic that you can swing out of the way very easily – better yet, it mutes when you click it into the upward position.Ī few things set the Esports Edition apart, though. While you can unplug the mic, the swinging part of it is built into the headset, and the audio cable is back-mounted for some reason.ĭespite the skeletal look, they are closed-back headphones, so they seal in air and (some) sound. Like, "hey this person is a gamer, but like, a cool one, not a dork." Unlike, say, Corsair's HS50 headset, though, even stripping the mic off these will never allow them to pass as anything but a headset.

It whispers gamer instead of screaming it. I really like the utilitarian look, especially with the lighter shade on the Esports Edition's metal body. The headset has an in-line mute switch which is needed as I have a USB adapter for the PlayStation Silver headset and I needed to replace it, this gaming headset is the best budget gaming headset ever! I recommend you buy it at half price if you spent enough time finding it on Amazon.It has an almost military feel to it, but without resorting to dropping camo and army logos on it. The microphone isn't noise reduction though and it's not worth the money without it, however it is detachable so you may buy an external noise reduction drive to attach to the headset along with the microphone. I HATE headphones with any sort of plastic housing, they have a tendency to break around the temple area of the headband, the Plantronics headset however, is exactly what this doesn't have, you can adjust the height by detaching the speakers, making the headband a single piece, the headband doesn't look like it'll break any time soon, I believe it's silicone or something, as wearing it for two hours with speakers so big it'll eat up your ears, it's so comfortable because there's no pressure around it which can cut off your ear's blood line which causes numbing and excessive pain. if you have a couple of extra dollars around I would tell you to look at other options.

They are made from a cheap plastic, for the know, so if you want to extend the life of your headset keep them out of footpaths and away from chairs, kids, dogs, other people, doors, anything really. when only dialing in the chat audio the sounds are good, but that kind of defeats the purpose of using these headsets for gaming, as this will greatly reduce the quality of game sounds. The audio of other players when you have all audio coming through the speakers sounds a little muted, fuzzy. it does a good enough job of picking up my voice. these do.Ĭon - the mic stalk is very short and sits awkwardly by the side of my face. I got these because I started playing a lot more R6S recently and I wanted a headset that didn't break the bank but could give me a good quality of sound.

The game sounds coming through the speakers are clear. the foam around the cups is soft and doesn't squeeze your ears. there are three different slots that you can adjust how the cups fit over your ears.
