    This headset is a lot better in quality than I had expected for the price range. The sound quality is great. My kids use these for their school, and we all use them for gaming.

    This is a great headset for gaming or video calling. The audio balancing seems to be a bit bass heavy, but otherwise the sound is clear. The microphone is passable, but nothing too great if you are directly recording audio without some processing. These are very big headphones though, so they may not be the best for smaller children.

    This is the first set of headphones I’ve had like this because I normally don’t like how headphones sit on my ear or on top of my head but these are really comfortable! I’ve worn these for about 5 hours and they were still comfortable. It comes with a cord for a microphone and headphones but it didn’t work when I plugged it into my pc, it works just fine when I plugged the headset cord into the pc. The sound quality is really nice, and the microphone works great! The headset cord has some length to it as well, which is really nice. My only problem was that the box was bent and smashed when it arrived but honestly it’s not a problem for me. Overall 10/10 headset!!

    The sound quality is great and the quality of the headset is great. Been using it for about a week now with no issues. I don’t hear any static background noise or anything. They fit perfectly on my head. It’s a 3.5 mm jack standard size. You can plug it in a phone or any other device. Volume controls works without any issues as well. I didn’t notice any
    noise cancellation on this product but it could just be me use to other higher end products with. Noise cancellation..

    These are a cheap but decent pair of headphones for the price, I think the noise cancellation and sound quality are as they should be. This is a good alternative if you don’t have the funds to get something expensive.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI wanted to upgrade from some basic in-ear earphones I have been using for my PS5 controller, so when I saw these I thought it would be a nice step up, now I use them basically every day! The headphones are certainly on the larger size of the actual headphones and can look comical if on a smaller head, but they make up for this with their comfort levels. There is a potential that because of the size of the headphones that they may be too cumbersome for some, but as an adult male with an average sized head I have not found them too heavy and they are adjustable for most head sizes.

    I have worn these for hours at a time with no level of discomfort, you forget you’re wearing them which is ideal. Because the headphones are closed-back they are also incredibly good at blocking outside noise; I have worn them whilst there have been gatherings going on downstairs and would have had no idea anyone was downstairs. In terms of sound quality, they are also good for the price, there may not be as much low-end frequencies as some may like but overall the sound is well-balanced. Volume is also not an issue at all and alongside being able to be adjusted through console or PC, volume can also be adjusted through a dial on the cable which works well and allows you to quickly adjust the volume rather than having to do this through settings; a handy feature.

    On the left ear of the headphones is a microphone that is not removable, but can be rotated up out of the way and is bendable to aim towards the mouth better. I have not been able to test this microphone out unfortunately as I do not play online games that require communication, but it seems of a high enough quality and the adjustability is good enough to be able to angle the mic in a way to be audible. But for solo gamers it is good that the mic can be adjusted to not be imposing on peripheral vision.

    Stylistically the headphones do lean a bit into the archetypical teenage boy gamer which may not be for some. Though besides some neon green features the rest of the headphone is black and more subtle. The design is really more of a personal preference and though it may not be for some, overall it is well designed and aesthetically accessible to most.

    The only other point I would make, which is either a positive or negative depending on perspective, is that the cable from the headphones is very long. If you were using this for a PC setup then this would probably be a big plus as you could cable it behind a desk with plenty of length to spare. However, if you are playing on a console with a controller then there can be too much cable to have to deal with and you may need to tie part of it up to make it more practical. At the end of the cable there is also jack and usb input to choose from,which again can be nice to have the option between but makes one redundant if not being used.

    Overall, I think for the price this is a really good value set of gaming headphones. I have been using them consistently for a while now and have found really good value in them. They are consistently comfortable, work perfectly and are practical for gaming on a variety of set-ups; so for gaming I would certainly recommend them.

    These work well and the mic actually works well for background noise.

    So this brand is really great in my opinion. The sound and mic on this specific headset is really good quality. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking for a decent priced headset with mic.

    The sound on these are great! The mic not so much but the sound is perfect! I would more so recommend these for younger kids honestly or someone who don’t use the mic much and just wants the sound part because the sound is really good

    This is the second pair of headphones from Black Shark that we own. This pair of headphones is really impressive for the price. The sound is clear, the bass makes itself known, and there is decent 360 sound. The microphone works very well at ignoring background noise and is fairly clear. The headphones do a really good job of passive noise cancelling. We got these for our son, and we have to literally yell to get his attention. He uses this pair of headphones exclusively for Xbox One, so no lights as there is no a USB to plug them into.
    Overall, we were very happy with the quality of these headphones. Owning a different pair of Black Shark headphones, we were expecting good quality but I think these are even better than the other pair we own. Highly recommend!

    This is a solid headset.

    – Good sound. Balanced for gaming and music.
    – Lightweight design.
    – Solid mic quality.

    I wished the audio cord was longer. It’s not long enough for the back of your pc, and it’s barely enough for the front ports. Note this is 3.5 jack and not usb.

    I think it’s decent and solid. For $40, I would expect a longer cord and USB connectivity. This is a backup backup for me.

    Got these for my daughter and she said:

    They are comfortable, they light up if i plug in USB too (thats a perfect “streamer” headset) the mic quality is clear and cuts out most of boyfriend’s loudness from being heard! So overall its a great headset. The top is too big for me to attach the cat ears from my old headset, but thats ok! They are still good!

    These are great at noise cancellation. And the mic is easy to move around. You can mute the mic and change the volume on the cord with some switches. It has a long cord. While probably nice for pc it was kinda annoying to deal with while playing on my PlayStation. It comes with a extra fluff ball for the mic. When I played online with my friends they said I sounded great. But they did hear people in my house from the other rooms so it picks up sound very easy on the mic.

    I liked the way the ear cups fitted right over my ears, allowing me to have a high degree of comfort and a very immersive sound experience. These headphones are very well put together with a metal but cushioned band over the head, so they are heavier than many you will find out there, on the other hand they are very solid. They have a range of connectors to allow full platform connectability. I found the sound quality very good, and with the headphones completely over the ears, fully immersive, The mic arm is strong and flexible, The neon lights on the side are great, very bright green. I liked them.

    Amazing qualitative gaming set. Really nice comfortable headset. The sound quality is very good…it has clarity and you can easily hear every sound all around the map or in whatever game you’re enjoying. The microphone does indeed cancel the noise around it. It works well with a console. The padded earphones are very comfortable to wear for long hours. I am very pleased with this gaming set. I am gladly recommending it to anyone. Great quality for a fair and amazing price.

    Black Shark gaming headset for gaming! This headset is nice and comfy on the head and adjust to fit so perfect for kids up to adults. It’s a wireless headset and has a good mic which is too also adjustable to be positioned perfectly by your mouth. It’s got nice clear speakers (noise blocking) and also a clear mic too. Works on both my Pc and Xbox so I have no doubt it will work on PS Consoles and the other ones listed too. It arrived well packaged and would make a wonderful gift to the right person.

    Good headphones for the price point. Sound quality is good, with decent clarity to allow direction and distinction of noises within games. They are comfortable to wear and not heavy. The mic works, none of my squad has difficulty hearing me.

    Being wired, these allow your gamer loving teens to play for hours without having to worry about recharging a wireless set.
    These are supplied with just enough wiring from headphones to console, enough for my daughter to plug and play without worrying that the wire is stretched or the plug will pop out. But they needed more in my opinion, especially if you want to relax on the sofa and your stereo is a fair way from the sofa. You can buy extension leads though so bear that in mind.
    She has a wireless set of turtle beach headphones and she compared these with the turtle ones.
    Her opinion is that the sound seems better than her wireless ones and the mic clarity is better, she also prefers to use these because her wireless ones are starting to need a recharge every couple of hours now (maybe internal battery issues)
    She says that the feel when she wears them are almost identical although the padded band was something she had to get used to, she soon forgot that she was wearing them after several gaming sessions.
    She was quite surprised when I told her the price considering these also have a 10 discount at time of review taking them down to 26.99 price point at time of this review.
    The adjustable and detachable microphone is easily set to the desired position for perfect interaction with other online gamers.
    The sound is very good in my opinion with a surround sound feel that surprised me with its spatial feel.
    I tested these with my PS4 playing a VR game using Dolby surround sound support and the immersive experience was even more intense with no external sounds or interruptions to spoil my game play.
    My daughter has an xbox and they work across a multitude of platforms from gaming consoles, computers to sound systems and most android phones, basically anything with a small 3.5mm headphone jack plug.
    These look and feel well made and you simply just plug them in and enjoy. No need for pairing or recharging, just hours and hours of immersive sound quality.
    Bear in mind that wireless headphones tend to cost almost double the price of these and can suffer with charging issues after lots of use. These headphones will stand the test of time, as long as you don’t have gamers who tend to throw their controllers etc when they lose lol.
    The brand name is also catchy as well (black shark) which I like, and I imagine it won’t be long before this brand starts to compete with the bigger brands particularly on price x quality aspects.

    These very decent looking headphones that arrive in a cool box, making them perfect as a gift are very good.
    Producing great sound quality with a good amount of bass. These aren’t wireless so you can keep these plugged in for hours and hours of gaming without having to recharge a wireless set. Although this involves a long wire and plugging in to your console, you don’t have to worry about continuous private chat through your gaming.
    I think the light up logo which only works when you plug in the USB cable is a bit of a gimmick tbh and not really needed although it does look cool in its glowing green.
    The mic is bendable so you can get your perfect fit and the mic transmission is clear with good clarity. Not much background noise interferes with the feedback which I like.
    2.2metres of wire is just about enough for where my console and TV is located but might not be enough for other users, so best to measure the distance first to avoid disappointment and get a comfortable seating area for using these headphones.
    They feel really comfortable when worn and I don’t feel like my ears are getting too warm or sweaty. They also don’t weigh that much and feel lightweight.
    The price at 28.99 (at time of review) is about right for a gaming product like this and because it uses a standard 3.5mm headphone jack plug it will plug into not just consoles, but most android phones, sound systems, TVs etc etc basically anything with a small headphone jack plug.
    These don’t have to be used just with a gaming console.
    They look quality, feel well made and the sound quality is bang on.

    Black Shark Gaming Headset with Noise Canceling Cardioid Mic, Gaming Headsets for PC. I tried both the J5 and J6 and the difference in the 2 is absolute night and day difference. This review is for the J6 and what can i say, for wired headphones at this price, better snatch them up fast. Never had a budget priced wired headset sound so good. These are definitely a keeper. The Bass to treble are perfectly responsive. Footsteps in games are easily heard. Music reproduction is excellent. I used these for hours in a FPS and a few listening to music, and my ears never got hot, and I never felt they were heavy. Awesome noise cancelling headphones and mic. The mic was a surprise as it didn’t pick up my 7 year old in the background. The mic boom is another surprise, nothing cheap here, quality built and can be raised up to the side of the headset when not in use. Green RGB adorn each side of the head cups. This is flat out well built quality headset at a budget price.

    Need some teen gaming headsets? Want some black / green ones?

    These are the Black Shark Goblin X5 Gaming Headphones With 3.5mm Connector, Headset Volume Control, Mic On / Off Switch, Double 3.5mm Splitter Included.

    These just plug n play into your PC. You can also use on XBOX, PS, Nintendo, iPad, Smartphone or Mac via the 3.5mm jack.

    To control these is pretty basic, the left side has + / – vol jog wheel and mute mic button.

    Using is a pretty above average experience as far as wired gaming headphones go, they aren’t breaking any boundaries. The earpads drown out most external noise, purely down to size covering ears, as it is normal not memory foam.
    Playing most games is alright, the sound is powered by 2 x 50mm drivers which perform quite well considering the price.
    Wearing is comfy, but the metal adjusters really do grind you, as it becomes quite rigid sometimes.

    The design is decent, they look modern and perfect for XBOX.
    These are perfect for teens or folk on a budget, as at 27 they are a steal.

    Overall I’d recommend these for teens who break everything! When they don’t, they’ll want some branded ones!

    Good sounding budget gaming headphones

    The sound quality is good and they are comfortable to wear for long periods of time. Decent value for money
