This headset is perfect for online meetings. Sound quality is great, the microphone works great, and there's volume control. The memory foam ear covers are comfortable and keep out random noise. I also use these to listen to music while I work. The sound quality is much better than my Macbook Pro speakers.In March 2020 I started working from home with a traditional phone headset that covers one ear. That "works", but I grew to despise it. I had to talk loudly to overcome the noise cancellation. Telephone-grade meeting audio in one ear, household noise in the other, and a plastic thing jammed against the right side of my head. No bueno.After a couple hours of research on Amazon I found the EKSA E900 Pro: great sound, durable, and reasonably priced. This review registers me for the warranty but that's not why I'm writing it. I've reviewed many of my purchases, both good and bad.I'm happy with my purchase. It arrived the same week I ordered it and I haven't regretted it once.Oh: last thing - USB. I wanted a USB-connected set so I wouldn't have Bluetooth breaking up or dropping. It came with good quality cables, too. I would buy this again.

An update from my last review. I just bought another pair for my son. This is a really great gaming headset. The sound quality is amazing. Highly recommend them!!I just got this gaming headset 2 days ago. So far they are great. I love the multiple connecting options, USB or 3.5 mm. I use them on my PC with a USB connection and they work great. Make sure to download the drivers from the ESKA website, the manual they send has all the information you need. I recommend these, great for the price and the sound quality is good.

I've used these headphones in both USB and with the 3.5 mm cord. They both sound fine. The mic works better with the 3.5 mm connector than with the USB for some reason, but it's fine. The bass is lacking on the headphones, but they are loud. The sound is clear and they work great for communications during games on Discord and conferences with GotoMeeting, WebEx, Teams, etc.I can't complain for the price I paid.

I was skeptical at first, as I've never heard of EKSA before purchasing this headset. I was very surprised after receiving it, the sound quality is amazing and the detachable mic is a great addition. Compared to my last headset, my friends say the voice quality is similar despite this one being much cheaper! I've only had it for a few days, but it also comes with a 24-month warranty so even if it gets worn out or fails, I can get a replacement within that time.

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.

Seem much better than a $40 pair of headphones. Mic works great as well.

I like this set for the money, sound quality is good and I can hear everything in game . Only dislike is the exposed wires for the ear muffs.

I haven’t used it for gaming yet. I tried using it several times for work meetings on Teams. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. Sometimes it has a low buzzz that everyone hears, sometimes it doesn’t.
