TECWAREQ5 Stereo Gaming Headset for PC, Surround Sound Over Ear Headphones with Mic, RGB LED Light, Bass Surround, Large Soft Memory Earmuffs

The mic boom is mounted on the bottom of the earpiece housing allowing it to come loose.

This headset is excellent quality for the price. I am equally as impressed with Tecware's budget keyboards.

I really, really wanted to give these a 5-star rating! They are a very good set of headphones. The sound quality is well above what I was expecting for a set costing under $100. Are they as good as my professional-grade AKG headphones? No! But they also don't cost over $300! And the microphone quality is very good as well. It appears to be omnidirectional, which causes issues in a noisy room, but that's definitely not what caused me to take a way a star.Before I get to the bad, here's a couple more good things about these headphones. They are comfortable, and I mean REALLY comfortable! I have a big head, and these fit very nicely and don't have any "slop" in the adjustment. Also, they don't completely deaden outside noises, which to me is nice as I like to be able to hear what's going on in the room while I have them on.Now, the bad... Who's idea was it to put ridiculous lights on the earpieces?! First, it annoys my wife, who usually sits right next to me on her computer. Next, they don't add anything to the quality of the headphones, and actually use up a few extra milliamps of current that would be better used elsewhere!Next, the volume control (at least for me) is backwards! Rotate it down and it increases the volume, rotate it up and it decreases the volume. That is counterintuitive! I'm sure I'll get used to it, but two other headphones I've used work the exact opposite way. That's a bad design.Finally, there isn't a manual included in the box. Not even a slip of paper that says anything about the headphones. I know that it's simple to use them (plug into a USB port, put them on, and change your sound source in Windows). But even a simple quick-start guide would be nice for a lot of people, and should be included in the box.Overall, these are worth the price. Would I buy 3 or 4 more for every workstation I use? Probably not! But for the casual gamer or for the remote office worker, they make a great headphone for hours of use.UPDATE: The more I use these headphones, the more I dislike them! I had a conference call to be on, so I decided to use these for the call. In order to be able to have the call seem more "natural" I decided to turn on the feature in Windows to enable me to hear my own microphone in the earpieces. Wow, was that a mistake!!! The delay of the microphone audio to the headphone would easily give anyone a headache! In my headphones, it was like I was saying "I'm I'm glad glad that that you you all all could could join join me me today today!" These have since found their way into my trash can! They are likely still a good deal for someone that wants to use them for casual gaming, but these are in NO WAY a serious set of headphones!

These headphones were tested on a custom PC running windows 10. These headphones were tested using Twitch, Pandora, and video games. Please consider the price (about $20 at time of review), which is incredibly inexpensive, as you read this review. Also, these headphones are being compared to my regular used headphones which include Sennheiser HD 6505s, Bose, AKG, and numerous other name brands.Sound quality is decent and well balanced. Normally, I find cheaper headphones to emphasize bass, however, these headphones do not. Clarity could be better, but again…$20. These headphones lose some points with the USB A interface as I cannot use my AE-7 Sound Blaster audio card to really push these to the max. I can only assume these headphones are USB powered due to the RGB, which, what is the point in the RGB if you cannot observe it? I’m not too familiar with 7.1 headphones since I only use stereo and/or monitor headphones so I cannot give proper feedback about it. My apologies.Comfort is definitely there; I wore them for about 6 consecutive hours, and I did not feel any discomfort aside from getting hot/sweaty at the earpads. This is expected and not out of the norm for this style of earpad.I was not able to test the microphone’s quality, however, I do like the fact it’s detachable from the headset. Not a big fan the volume control/mic control is on the left cord. The product description does say there is RBG software and sound equalizer software, but this software did not download automatically. This may be a good or bad thing, depending on your preferences. Since it was not an automatic download, I did not pursue it.Overall, for the price, these are very comfortable, sound well balanced, and I absolutely recommend them for those points. Especially, for younger people who may be into the RGB thing without wanting to break the bank. 4 out of 5 stars.

These headphones are nothing amazing, but they are a good basic entry-level set at a good price. They are still very much worthy of 4 stars, but not 5. They were packaged extremely well and had decent branding.They have numerous issues though; the volume control is backwards, the mic boom is a bit questionable where it is attached, the sound quality is nothing to write home about, and the comfort is okay for short use but not for long gaming sessions.It's fine for casual gaming, watching YouTube, or chatting on voice with friends and family. I got these as an emergency backup in case my chosen headset dies.For the price alone ($19.99 at the time of writing), these are nice and more than worthy of the 4 stars. If you just want a basic entry-level set of headphones, these are a great choice. If you are looking for a mid to high end set of gaming headphones with long-term comfort and a more intuitive build, look elsewhere.

These headphones have a critical design flaw: The ear cups don't swivel. Because of that, they don't adjust correctly to the shape of your head, resulting in uneven pressure around the ear cups.They felt fine at first, but after 30 minutes of gaming, I felt pressure at the base of the ear cups. Over the next 30 minutes, the pressure turned into a throbbing headache.It's a shame because these sound great for their price. The mic is passable and will work fine for online games.I cannot recommend these headphones.

HeadPhones are good but only issues I have is - its uncomfortable to wear, ears starts hurting and sweating too fast, I had Logitech G435 and never had any of same issues, sound quality and microphone quality are good, probably wont be using this as much but anyways its decent for price
