Build QualityCompared to a HyperX Cloud, this actually had surprisingly better build quality with more solid feeling plastic, less creakiness, and premium feeling plastic. This was perhaps the biggest standout aspect and something I did not expect for the price. The cups are supple and soft and I wore it for a few rounds of Valorant/CoD with no issues.Sound QualityFirst off, this is designed strictly for gaming and not music listening. Yes you can listen to music but it's only good for bass-heavy genres like EDM, etc. as the mids are recessed. But in terms of gaming, the sound is excellent and booming without losing coherence. Explosions are fun to hear and gunfights sound dynamic. The mic is very, very good and better than some headsets costing 2x as much. It's also detachable and can bend to suit the user's face shape. There is also 7.1 ability if you download the software on their website but I haven't tried this out yet.Extra FeaturesWhat's really worth mentioning is DETACHABLE CABLES which is not a common feature even at headsets at $100. There are 2 cables you can use - a DETACHABLE USB-C for PC/PS4 and a DETACHABLE 3.5mm for standard audio jacks. Because the electronics for volume and mute are built into the ear cups, the cables are unremembered with any sort of dials or buttons, which means they are more or less standardized. This is a huge godsend because this means they are lighter and can be easily replaceable (but note the ports on the cup side is very recessed you finding a suitable end that fits would take some work). TRIPLE THUMBS UP to EKSA for this feature and it should should be legally mandated across all headsets.Final ThoughtsFor the price, this is a fantastic headset. It is not the best, but I consider it superior to the HyperX Cloud which had been the budget king forever. It's comfortable, sounds exciting, is built well, and has premium features like detachable cables. 7.1 is another bonus. All this for $40 is a great value proposition and def worth looking at.
