MSI DS502 Gaming Headset, Enhanced Virtual 7.1 Surround Sound, Ergonimic Design, Omnidirectional Microphone, Intelligent Vibration System, Red LED Lighting, PC/Mac

I bought this headset in 2018 on the recommendation of a Youtuber that I watch and this headset has been my main gaming headset since. It has held up well over the years, the only sign of wear and tear in in the ear cups (some of the fabric covering the muffs has torn away, very minor) but otherwise this works just as well as the day I received it. I'm far from an audio snob, but I find the audio quality to be quite good considering the price. I play a lot of atmospheric games like No Man's Sky and it sounds great. On the cord for the headset, it has its own volume control, "bass boost" button, and mic mute button. My friends can hear me clearly on Discord so the mic audio also appears to be good quality. I find the build quality to also be quite good although I am one to take good care of my electronics. The MSI emblem light ups on the ear muffs are a nice feature and still work. The mic tip also has a light signifying the mic is capturing audio. (muting the mic will turn the tip light off) I also think the headset is comfortable even in longer sessions (3 hours+). I have what I consider a larger than average head (one of the reasons it was recommended to me) and I wear glasses. After those three hours I can start to feel the pressure of my glasses against my head because of the headset, but with gaming, take regular breaks.All in all I think this is a great headset for the price if you're looking for an entry-level gaming headset that will last you quite a long time.

The MSI Immerse GH20 Wired Gaming Headset is a comfortable and lightweight option for gamers. It’s easy to wear for long periods, thanks to its soft ear cups, which are also friendly for people who wear glasses.The headset has simple volume controls and a clear microphone, making it easy to talk to friends while gaming. It provides good sound, so you can enjoy all the details in your games. Overall, the MSI Immerse GH20 is a great choice if you want a comfy and reliable gaming headset.

Product tested: MSI Immerse GH30 V2Product tested using: Steam Deck (Linux OS), Acer Predator laptop-Windows 10, Custom PC-Windows 10 with AE-7 Sound Blaster sound card & Sound Blaster Command software.Sound sampled: video games, Twitch Streaming, Pandora music app.Price at time of review: $23.36 (purchased on sale/discount)* Microphone was not testedInitial impression: Headphones are sleek styled and lightweight. Hinges fold too easy presenting a possible future defect from normal use. Cord is braided with adequate length, is not removable from headset, and contains a microphone on/off switch and sound volume dial.COMFORT & FITAs mentioned, headphones are light, good for long sessions. Headband width is on the large size. I wore these headphones on the smallest setting, and they were a bit loose. For reference, I wear a S/M Flex fit hat. These headphones should be well suited for people with larger heads. Earpads are comfortable and light but do create some heat/sweat as is common with the pleather material. Ears fit inside the pad without issue.SOUND QUALITYOutstanding at the sale/discount price. Standard at the normal sales price. These headphones are rated at 32 OHMs resistance which do not require an amplifier, however, I tested these with and without an amplifier. Without the amplifier, the sound was clear, but treble is muddled if compared to an audiophile type headphone. Bass & treble is decent during gaming on a Steam Deck and Acer Predator laptop. The volume is more than loud enough without an amplifier. With an amplifier, these headphones can be pushed but do distort. Clarity and bass are improved with EQ software. These are closed-back headphones; however, I could still hear the environment around me with relative ease. For example, during the day, I could hear family members’ conversations (normal conversational tones) in the same room. At night, a fan on and television on low levels could not be clearly heard.Overall, I’m a fan of MSI products and these are no exception; however, only at the discounted price. At regular price I would not purchase these. Comfort I rate above standard, sound at standard and above standard with EQ software. Build quality I rate as standard, however, if the hinges develop a defect, I will reduce the rate to below standard. If you can purchase these for around the $20 price, do it. If not, wait for a sale or shop for a different product. Initial rating: four out of five stars.

I bought this headset with an MSI mouse to go along with my laptop of the same brand (I liked the idea that they all were the same) and I wasn't diassapointed to spend a little extra.The most notable thing is the build quality. It has soft ear cups, hard-mean mesh outers, solid feel, hard-wearing connecting wire, lighted ear and mouthpiece and comfortable overhead strap, without those stupid clicking extenders and instead the studio wired auto-fit type.So now you know you look the business it's time to play. The driver installation takes a minute at most and you're good to go.I tested it on Battlefield 1 first and I'm so glad I did. With the Bass button clicked you instantly feel like you're part of the atmosphere. A rumbling shake happens in the headphones when there's a bomb set off nearby or the heavy movement of a tank and it alters depending on how close or heavy the sound (I've never experienced this on another headset before). The sound is crisp, clear and you definitely benefit from the surround sound. It also goes louder than you'd want it to, which I think is always important for whenever you come across something that's too quiet, so you have more wriggle room to push up the volume.The headset is comfy as your ears don't touch anything. I've been using them for a couple of hours at a time without issue and have only experienced a cut off of sound twice (which I think was more game related than headset).It's a beast to look at, but I like that too. The volume control is big and easy to use and I agree with other comments that it should have been further away from the headset as every now and then it'll fall off the table and you'll notice the weight so will have to tuck it back somewhere again.I'd definitely recommend this product to gamers or anyone who would just like a quality headset.
