![VALORANT £35 Gift Card - [VALORANT Points]](https://images-eu.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61-3ns2-JrL._AC_UL160_SR160,160_.jpg)
In my opinion this is the best value for money wireless gaming headset. The main reason being the replaceable parts that are available in case of failure. I will touch on these below;
- PROS -
✖ Replaceable Battery - This was one of my main considerations, the majority of wireless gaming headsets do not allow for the battery to be replaced until you get to the headsets worth £200-£300 which I find ridiculous, this headset allows the battery to be bought and replaced (Around £15) and the instructions with the headset tell you how to replace the battery. This is a MAJOR selling point for me. After all the main feature is it's wireless ability, if the battery is useless after 1-2 years, then it's redundant.
✖ Comfortable Ear & Headband - The ear and headband cushions on this are very comfortable, I have been wearing it for several hours a day and I don't seem to experience much discomfort, even when it has been very hot. Bear in mind also that if you do not like the breathable cotton material on the ear cups / headband you can once again buy replacements and they are easy to change.
✖ Construction Quality - Extremely durable, expensive feeling plastic. Nothing feels flimsy of cheap on them at all.
✖ Software - The Logitech software is extremely powerful and easy to use, multiple profiles allow for different equaliser settings for different games scenarios; E.g Settings for listening to music vs gaming.
✖ Works on PS4 - Works flawlessly on PS4, plug in the dongle into the Playstation, switch the headset on and it's done. The microphone and sound is fine. The main disadvantage is that this is stereo only and you cannot change the audio profiles - However, another "hidden" feature is that if you connect the headset to your PC and save an equaliser profile it actually carries across the profile to your PS4 when you connect it back to your PS4, so create a good profile for your PS4 games and save it and you're good to go!
✖ Battery Life - This is quoted as around 15-16 hours and I do indeed get those figures, the headset lasts extremely well, not much to say here other than I only have to charge it every couple of days and that's me using it 6+ hours sometimes.
✖ Programmable Button - Macro button on the headset can be programmed to do whatever you please, mine is set up to launch Spotify on my PC when I'm inside a full screen application. Fantastic feature. Button can do anything from increase the volume to mute the mic, to hot-swapping between equaliser profiles.
✖ Range - Oh my the range, I can easily walk around my house and still remain connected with a clear connection. Absolutely brilliant. This is across several floors / rooms / walls - Doesn't matter, still remains connected. This is due to the 2.4Ghz it uses.
✖ Volume wheel - Easily adjust the volume from the side of the headset. Nice feature.
- CONS -
✖ Mic is not the loudest on PC at all, very quiet, and because it is wireless within windows you cannot amplify the mic through the typical "mic boost" setting. It is still audible, just quiet. However, on PS4, the mic is PERFECT, extremely clear and loud. Maybe it's something to do with Windows...
✖ Volume Wheel - Very nice feature as mentioned but very "loose", hard to scroll it to the right setting. Could have a better construction, but not the end of the world.
✖ Wired Functionality - There is no wired functionality with this headset. It is wireless only. Even whilst charging it still needs to be connected via the dongle.
✖ Bulky - They are very large. Yet, very comfortable. However, they are not "heavy" on your head, you can barely feel them. Just something for consideration.
In short, there are so many features on this headset it would take me forever to list all of them, for the price paid of sub £80 they are an absolutely fantastic headset and definitely one of the best wireless headsets due to the ease of use and also self-replaceable parts if something were to go wrong. Not to mention, 2 year Logitech warranty. There are some negatives, but they are really nit picks. Definitely worth the money.
