SG500 Surround Sound Pro Gaming Headset with Noise Cancelling Microphone - Soft Memory Foam Padding - Portable Foldable Headphones for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Switch - Black

TL;dr: Great sound. Super cute. Comfortable to wear. Clear mic. Good price. No discomfort with glasses. I usually have issues with over-the-ear headphones because they start to hurt the upper ridge of my ear. These ones don't! There are no annoying lights that are distracting while you're wearing them, like there tend to be on other gaming headsets near the tip of the mic. It would be nice if the mic were reversible so you could wear them both ways, but that's minor and I have no issue with it being on my left side. I also wear glasses and some over-the-ear headphones press in on the ear part and get uncomfortable. There may be a minor adjustment when I first put them on, but then I don't have any problems with discomfort from my glasses either. Big plus for me. They are pretty noise cancelling when you have sound coming in, so it's hard to hear anyone in the room with you talk, but if that's your goal these are fantastic. If you are looking for some passthrough, you'll want to find another set.

I don't normally give reviews of the products that I buy. However, these headphones have surprised me and to fair I think I have to do it. I want to clarify that I am very annoying when buying something. I read different reviews, I watch a lot of videos on Youtube to compare products and get an idea of how it works and also know the pros and cons. I was looking for a product that wasn't that expensive, but wasn't really cheap either. So at AMAZON's suggestion, I stumbled upon the SENZER SG500. I immediately started researching and followed my pre-purchase protocol. I read the reviews, looked up its features, and apparently the product had everything I was looking for. After careful consideration, I decided to give the SENZER SG500 a try and I must say I have no regrets. After a couple of weeks of wearing the SENZER SG500 every day, here are my comments. I usually teach online so I needed a product that wouldn't kill my ears (Yes, I have big ears) after two or three hours and the ear pads are so well designed you don't even notice them. They're soft and they adapt themselves to the shape of your head, but more importantly, after a couple of hours, your ears thank you for how great they feel. The weight is another thing that surprises me, they are very light and sometimes you forget that you are using them. The cable is very well designed. It has a coating made of some kind of sintetic cloth, which is very difficult to break. Integrated into the cable, we find a small device that allows you to control both the volume and mute the microphone. And this is appreciated by me, because sometimes you just want to mute the microphone without having to do it on the device you are using (my laptop). And speaking of the microphone, it captures the sound with great quality. My students listen to me without problems and I can tell the difference in the new audios and tutorials that I recorded in the last days from the previous ones. I am aware that we are talking about a product that is designed for gaming, but this product can be used in other environments, such as a virtual classroom, video calls, recording, and even listening to music. As for the latter, I think it was what surprised me the most. It has such a clear sound that sometimes you think that the music is coming from outside and not from the SENZER SG500 itself. The basses are incredible and is never distorted. Always loud and clear. And I'm used to listening to music with good quality equipment, because sometimes I work at a local radio station with a friend. Another aspect that I like is that they can be folded and are easy to transport. If I had to describe my overall experience with the SENZER SG500, I have to give them a 5/5. At least in my case and two weeks using the product, it meets all my expectations. If you ask me about something negative and I don't know whether to call it a negative, it has to be that I tried the product on my cell phone and although it is true that they sound quite good, the volume is low compared to when I use them on my laptop. I can attribute it to the fact that the sound output from my cell phone is not of quality or that it does not have the correct power to really exploit the potential of the SENZER SG500. But that's probably my phone. Now if you're going to use them for what they were designed for, you won't regret it.

This headset actually exceeded my expectations. The headset quality is pretty good and feels very sturdy (its also easy to fold up and pack), the earmuffs are soft and don't hurt your ears after long sessions of use (Like other headsets including my last one did) The audio quality is surprisingly good for the price and the headset is easy to set up (all you need to do is just plug it in) My only problem is that the mic quality isnt the best, it sounds a bit muddy but it still works and is usable Would buy again

So I have Corsair Virtuoso headsets which are rated highly on all website for being one of the best wireless headsets. I broke mine so I needed a headset until my warranty replacement arrived. I also needed a back up if I forgot to charge them. So a friend had a giveaway on IG for a SENZER SH500 and I won! So I got them super fast as per Amazon usual. The box is small and was thinking it would not be up to snuff. I WAS WRONG!!!! I opened them up and the looked like my shooting headset which are Walker’Razor Slim! So they look great and since they look like my real gun shooting headsets. I put them on and they are comfy and not tight like most headsets since they are adjustable. The mic is nice and long. So it actually can be adjusted to meet needs regarding distance to your mouth. In a nutshell, the SG500s are comfy! So they pass the looks and comfort. The sound was surprisingly good! I play COD and am a monster in the game. I can hear footsteps, ambient noise and the clarity is pretty good. Now the Corsair Virtuosos sound better but hey are also 6X more expensive coming in between $150 and $200 depending if you get them on sale. The sound is neutral unlike Logitech G935 which I also owned (I have owned all the top gaming headsets) which have too much bass or the Steelseries Arctis 7 which are neutral but have a higher pitched sound. These are spot on for the price. Music and movies also great but an an App with EQ settings would have been clutch but these are plug and play amd sound good what they are. So they are good. Not as good as the Corsairs which have an app and EQ control but the price difference is huge. The mic is also pretty good and moat people say it sounds better than tthe Corsair Virtuoso. I say this because I ised to get complaints re my moc sounding small but I do net any mic complains with the SG500. Huge win for this relatively inexpensive headset. The cable is long as that is the drawback. These are wored and my Virtuoso is wireless. However I don’t need to charge these. Overall, I like this headset and I like them so much my replacement Corsair Virtuosos are still in the box a month later…Yes, the SENZER I SG500. are so good my pricier headset is still in a box unopened. Speaks volumes. Only drawback is there is no app and that it is corded. However SG500 perform so well I kinda wished I never spent so much on a headset. These are way cheaper and at $24 how can you go wrong!?!? I highly suggest getting these as a primary headset and definitely as a back! Based on how they sound and perform they are a better value than some of the more expensive brands and worth the savings!

I never write reviews because it’s usually a waste of time. However… this is different. This is the best gaming headset on the planet and it’s only $30ish bucks. Let’s talk about the cool that will keep working even after loaning it to your 11 year old. The darn things are nearly indestructible. The foam ear covers that will have you shouting WHAT? a foot from the person talking to you are MAGNETIC not glued. You can’t wear down or rip the rubber ear muffs. They come right off and snap back into place. That’s right, no more trying to work the rubber back into place. Next, the cord is a beast. My 11 year old often falls asleep next to the headset (despite my attempts to get him to hang them on the hook I mounted just inches away from him). He rolls over them, tangles them, and never ever unplugs them from the controller. I bought three similarly priced headsets that all were destroyed within three weeks when one of the speakers failed because the cord had suffered too much trauma. Not one of these headsets I’ve purchased has had this problem. The only way he was able to break one was by stepping on the jack while it was half way plugged in to the controller, which didn’t break off, but was damaged to the point where the upper ring would no longer make contract. I refused to return them for a refund because I want to make this headset rise from number 18 to number 1 (that’s how much time and money I’ve wasted on its competitors). Oh you want to talk about sound quality? Check out the speaker’s manufacturing details. A DJ reviewed these headsets that I read before purchase. He claimed that he threw out his old DJ headset because this set provided better sound quality. He wasn’t lying. You’ll be mad at yourself if you have a $300 pair of headphones, or even a $150, because the sound reproduction quality is that clean and balanced. I could go on. Many reviews will tell you that there’s a pop if you switch the mute on and off. First, the pop is a baby pop. A two day old baby of a pop. Second, when some crackerjack troll is screaming the N word and deriding your mother’s sexual purity, you’ll happily have a distracting pop that will annoy the stupid right out of his moron brain. What was that? Oh must be your console. You should restart. Second, the mic quality is superb especially if you’re talking with someone who has a matching headset. I could go on about how the metal frame makes it impossible to break the headband, and reshaping a sat-on headset a 30 second affair or how they conveniently fold up into the headband for easy travel… gosh there’s so much about these things that are good… In conclusion, if you buy another set three or four times the cost of these, you might as well set your money on fire in the middle of a July heatwave. Buy now before the market realizes how underpriced these things are. Senzer is the rightful heir to the throne, and he will slaughter that fat bloated king who demands your entire paycheck for two weeks of game play before they break.

I bought these October 1st of 2023, so that means I've been using them for about a year and a half. At first, it was nice to notice the quality features: the ear pieces were very accepting and cusioning, the microphone sounded crisp, and at its smallest size it fit my head fine. Everything about them was certainly worth the money, until- within the last few months- the audio input broke somehow. Upon troubleshooting, it seems that somewhere close to where the cable enters the headset, the wire has shorted or or broken. This makes it so when said cable is moved in certain ways, it changes the input from Stereo (both speakers receive audio separately) to Mono (the speakers work together). I would say hold off buying this until you review other options, because having this problem only after a year and a half is not nearly as long as I've had other headsets last that were sometimes cheaper than base price. I look after my devices, and this once chose to break. TLDR: Look into other options.

Overview: I bought this for my son who has an Xbox One console. I didn't want to spend a large amount of money on a wireless headset. I eventually landed on these. First, no you do not need a controller adapter like the instructions lead you to believe for the Xbox One controller. You can just plug the 3.5mm plug from the headset directly into the controller jack. Second, my son has a fairly large head and these fit well despite that. Third, this headset will seem to be very low volume if you plug it right in, and try to use it with max volume on the headset cable. See more on that below. Volume Adjustment: What you need to do before using, is go to the Xbox controller settings for the controller you will have the headset plugged into. Then, adjust the volume knob all the way down to minimum volume on the headset cord first. After that, set the volume slider all the way to max in the controller settings in the Xbox settings screen. Once you do that, adjust the controller volume as high as you need it. What this does is calibrates the volume levels so you can adjust the volume higher on the headset. Of course, you should be careful not to make it too loud at this point to avoid damaging your hearing! The Mic: The mic on this headset seems to work well. I was playing local games with my son on our local network between our Xboxes. And this headset had no issues picking up and transmitting his voice clearly. He also said that the headset was comfortable for the 4 hours we were playing. Final Thoughts: I noticed there was another reviewer proclaiming these headphones are made of metal. I can assure you these are NOT made of metal. They are made of a durable ABS or similar plastics with coating on them like most other headsets. Keep in mind the price. Not even headsets that are in the $200-300 range are made of metal materials. If they made these out of metal materials, they would easily be many times the price. This is not a con per se. But it is a consideration to be careful of the exaggerated claims of some reviewers. Aside from all of this, if you want a quality headset for Xbox One at a good price, and wired is okay. This should work great, and I recommend!

Arrived in good condition. It is quite light, so it rests nice, and not too tight on the ears. One Con about it is it’s tilted a bit forward, and kind of sits on my ears a bit awkwardly. (I have a relatively skinny head) Earcups are comfy tho and can be easily adjusted. They’re a bit stiff tho when trying to adjust the cups. Wire feels good in quality and mic easily adjustable. Sound quality: alright. The mids and lows are good, but little to no highs unfortunately, sounding a bit muddy sometimes (when helicopters or ‘high’ sounds aren’t too loud). Almost like your typical stereo gaming headset. Tested the microphone and sounds good too when in recordings. The hype is not all that tbh lol
