Kids don't care about spatial audio or surround sound so I'd get something within a $10-20 range. Considering the holidays are coming up I'd wait and see what pops up around that range. Usually I get one or two for the kids jic.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank

The Basics
  • Headset with non-detachable mic
  • Swivel-to-mute mic
  • 3.5mm plug with 3.5mm-to-USB adapter (adapter required for Virtual 7.1)
  • Earcups rotate 90 degrees for quick breaks w/o removing headset

The Good
  • Adjustable steel sliders with large range
  • Very comfortable earcups, even when wearing glasses
  • Very good sound quality
  • Analog volume slider on headset
  • Because of 3.5mm connector, can be used with any 3.5mm jack (altho w/o Virtual 7.1). Besides gaming, it works well for online conferencing

The Bad
  • Nothing!

Other
  • Virtual 7.1 surround sound does seem to work, but it does require use of the USB adapter plus the HyperX NGENUITY software. I'm not sure if the PC is actually doing the work or if the dongle is; if the latter, it would have been nice to just have a hardware switch on the dongle and no need for the software.

Edit - I realize now this is for the wired version. I have the wireless, so disregard this apparently.

Got a pair used very good condition off of Amazon for ~$17 a while back. Work well and battery life is good. The audio does very occasionally drop out even when I am close. I could play for hours and have no issues but then it might drop out for a fraction of a second two or three times in a minute. The audio quality seems ok, though I'm sure there are far better options if that is the goal. Not a huge issue for me, but if 100% reliability is desired then a wired set would probably be better (or could just use the 3.5mm connection, but I haven't). The 7.1 just sounds stereo to me, but maybe there is a difference I can't tell. Comfortable if I am wearing my contact lenses, but with glasses give me a headache, but every pair of headphones I have ever tried does that to me. I haven't tried the mic.

You must be comparing a different model; this is a wired set without a battery.

You just beat my edit. You are correct.

Good video review here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAMKyKCH2Q0

Since this headset provides a 3.5mm to USB A dongle I'm asumming you could turn any 3.5mm headset you own into a 7.1 surround sound headset by just plugging it into the dongle and then turning on the 7.1 surround sound using the "Ngenuity" software on your PC. If so, this makes this pretty slick IMHO.

Lot of reviews complaining about the mic not working and the set going bad within a year. Get what you pay for I guess?
