The microphone cannot be detached and it cannot be folded up to the earcups. Instead, it is retractable and includes a button on the microphone itself. The button allows you to mute the mic and also lights up in red whenever the mic is muted.

Don't judge me, but I've lost my fair share of headset microphones in my career, but I'm not a huge fan of leaving the mic in front of my face all day when it's not in use. A flip-up mic is a much better option, so glad to see one make the cut with the HS55. A wireless headset will connect to your console, device, or computer via Bluetooth or WiFi generally. Be aware that not all consoles have built-in Bluetooth ( Xbox One original controller for example), meaning you might have to go out and buy an external dongle for Bluetooth connectivity. The last thing left to be discussed is the stand. It features three USB ports where you can plug your mouse and keyboard, for example, but it has a very short cord. You won’t be able to use those extra USB ports if you can’t plug in the stand. Depending on how your rig is set up, you might have an issue getting the stand exactly where you want it. Frequency Response: 20 – 22.000 Hz | Driver Size: 40 mm | Connection Type: 3.5 mm | Microphone Frequency Response: Not Specified by Manufacturer | Weight: 330 g Even our absolute favourite gaming headsets fail to go toe-to-toe with an ok quality desktop microphone. Audio Technica's new ATH-M50xSTS StreamSet headset says hell no to that, spend all that money on me instead.

Buying Guide

With such a dedication to monitor mode, there's no buttons for anything else on the headset. It makes sense, especially for a headset that wants to make sure you sound good. All other audio is meant to be controlled through your PC. Remembering to reach for your PC volume controls as opposed to the headset itself takes a little bit of getting used to, but I think the trade off in simplicity is worth it. Similar to the other budget headsets on this list, the Somic G951s offers some decent value to the girl gamer who can’t afford to spend a lot on a headset. Just like the ONIKUMA headset, this is a cute headset with decent enough audio quality to be included on this list.

The cables between the headband and earcups are cause for concern. However, they are short and strong enough and won’t break so easily. Most of the housing, with the exception being the swivel mechanism, is comprised of plastic. On a final note, I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the audio quality. This headset works with THX spatial audio which creates an immersive 360-degree sound stage. Razer believes that it is even better than 7.1 surround sound and does a near-perfect job of replicating virtual sound sources whether it’s up-close or far away. If you’re looking for the best all-around pink gaming headset, you can look no further than our number one selection. The Razer Kraken Quartz Pink bundle offers stunning looks, great sound quality, long-lasting comfort, and a gorgeous headset stand. The controls are pretty straightforward. There is a dial for the volume control and a switch to mute/unmute the microphone. The controls are very solid and blend with the pink and white color scheme. Design-wise, this is an elegant, sharp-looking pink headset. The metal frame is deep and lustrous, while the cushions are a very light shade of pink. If you have the rose gold controller for PS4 already, then this headset will match it perfectly.Surround sound is a big deal for gamers. Particularly those of you who play competitive FPS games as it allows for accurate location of enemy players via sound. growing from stereo to virtual 7.1 surround sound is a huge game-changer. The benefits don’t just extend to competitive gameplay, however, surround sound also helps to increase immersion in single-player games too. Many games these days are designed with surround sound in mind. This pink gaming headset is bulkier so you will have some difficulties carrying it around and I can only recommend this for your PC/Console gaming setup and not for handhelds and mobile gaming.

Another plus for this headset is sound quality, as those big earcups deliver some impressive sound. For the price you are paying, the audio quality is top-notch. The range is wide, and you won’t lose much quality at higher volumes as well. The bass is powerful as well, so it’s great for just about any gaming experience. Speaking of cables, the inline controller on this device includes a wheel to control the volume. It is well put together and blends perfectly with the pink headsets’ aesthetic. The controls are pretty decent and it’s got everything you need to mute the microphone and adjust the volume. There’s also the option to toggle the LED lights. (on the sides of the ear pads.) Unfortunately, the controller looks a bit rugged and seems out of place for a pretty pink headset.Now, if looks are less important, there’s a lot to like about the H510 Zeus. The earcups are big and rectangular with rounded corners. The cushions are very comfortable and soft on the head, even after wearing them for a while. The cable and microphone are where things start to look a little cheap. The cable is not braided and very prone to twisting and tangling. The inline controls do not match up to the cute aesthetic and the volume control dial is very small and sometimes difficult to manage. There is a single button for muting the mic but no buttons to mute the volume. (Instead, you will have to dial the volume control down.) For what it’s worth, you really can’t go wrong with the PeohZarr D99. It is a cute pink headset with decent audio quality, plenty of comfort, and a very affordable price tag. It’s definitely not perfect, but if you can’t afford to splurge on premium headsets, this is a great option. Though all things considered, I struggle to imagine a customer who wouldn't be happy with these as a wireless gaming headset. They're pricey, but within reason for their specs, and they certainly deliver on everything you could want for gaming, and listening to music, on your PC.
