This allows your headphones to adjust to your head – which is definitely a plus. Everything is soft, and while wearing, you shouldn’t feel any plastic parts touching your head or hair.
Microphone’s customization is limited, however it can be concealed upwards. The quality of it is acceptable. Additionally, the microphone is equipped with noise cancelling feature, allowing you to mute the background sounds. It is possible that the noise cancelling feature might sometimes mute your own sounds from time to time.
Corsair Void Pro RGB
The most expensive among the cheapest gaming headphones (~$99) but still finds its place on our list. Corsair Void Pro RGB is also the only one on the list to have wireless connection (although it is not mandatory to use wireless version). Both sound and microphone on those headphones is extraordinary within the price tag. Additional features are available through the optional software.
While the audio and microphone is worth the recommendation, the general fit of the headset leaves a lot to be desired. Even though you may customize the headband length, the entire construction rather lies loosely on the head.
