Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)So I've owned and still own a lot of gaming headsets for the pc, as I am a heavy pc gamer. FPS, RTS, mmorpg, you name it. Also the robust listener in music and I watch my share of movies through netflix on my pc.
I look for quality in a headset. This, I mean a headset that can do fairly well in all aspects. I don't want a headset that is pure bass, or a headset with a faulty component (I've had too many shares of faulty microphones, speakers, cables, usb, driver issues, etc.)
Now, I am giving my feedback on this headset based on currently owning a logitech g35, steelseries siberia v2 with usb sound card, creative fatality hs1000, plantronics 367, and razer carcharias.
Obviously, teknmotion isn't as well know as the brands above. But it isn't a non-existent company. It has its fair share of consumers, and the pulsewave is a pretty popular headset. The version 2 is just a revised version, but nothing major. I'm not sure what they revised to begin with, but checking out reviews of version 1, I can't find a difference.
So first of all, people with windows 7, 64 bit, this works perfectly. no driver issues. put in the cd, put in the headset, and your good to go.
this part is where people criticize headsets quite often. This headset is definitely not flimsy whatsoever. The mic is detachable, but the boom is not super thin, and the area around where the ports plug in are reinforced with athicker covering, so no need to be scared of removing and attaching the mic often. (personally, I just keep it on, and swing it up when not in use)
comfort: i'm gonna say that the comfort is good, not the best, but definitely doesn't kill your ears like some headsets i've worn. I've worn for 6 hours straight. And although my ears did get somewhat tender, It's not the *painful* when you wear it kind of tender. I only realized it when I actually removed the headset. The top of my head had NO NO NO discomfort whatsoever, so don't worry about the headband.
Sound: Sound is great, let me just say that. I'm not talking in an audiophiles perspective. But for the gamer, or the casual music listener, and for watching movies. Wow, sound is great. Loud, Clear, no static on highs, bass is AMAZING!! and also you can set levels for the headset to vibrate if you'd like (during bass-y moments)- About the flashing lights, yes, you can set it to flash lights. However, it's not super disco flashy, it's adequate. OR you can just turn off the lights altogether, no biggy (there is a switch on the in-line controller)
-the material of the ear cups are that of a synthetic leather, but they appear to be quite durable, and comfortable. Those of you worrying about sweat in ears. I didn't experience any sweat after 6 hours, so don't worry about that.
-Mic is very very responsive. I had to actually lower my skype mic volume to 30% because I was loud. No static heard from the other party from vent, skype, in-game from windows live gaming. Very adjustable, also.
-cable is a little over 6 feet which is more than adequate for me, and hopefully for any pc users, unless you have a pc connected to a huge hdtv, then 6 feet may not be long enough.
All in all, for 52 bucks (amazon has the cheapest price), this is a VERY good buy. I would give it a 9/10. for an overall headset, and 10/10 for its price.
Personally, I see no flaws. It's not the greatest or best headset, but in terms of actual flaws, I see none at all. If you don't have at least 100 bucks to spend on a headset, I'd recommend getting these. If you have a hundred dollars, I recommend the logitech g35 or the steelseries siberia v2.
if you have 150, I recommend the seinheisser gaming headset (150 on amazon only)
