Cooler Master MH751 Gaming Headset with 2.0 Hi-Fi Stereo - PC & Console Compatible, 40mm Neodymium Audio Drivers, Crystal Clear Boom Mic and Lightweight Frame - 3.5mm Standard Jack

These are excellent headphones for the price, they perform well at everything a headphone should do, just are very lackluster in terms of software and features (unless purchasing the mh752). I will go through them below:Comfort/Fit:These look like headphones. Just bog standard headphones, very basic. But my days, they are easily the most comfortable headset I have ever worn in my life. Something about the cushions and the clamping force, and geez the weight on these things is so low. They have wonderful comfort, with large earcups and great padding over the drivers so your ears never touch the inside of the headphones, nor the sides of the cups. I am aware these are based on the takstar pro 82s, which also have this great comfort. They have an adjustable slider along the headband for both earcups, quite standard. They are not very breathable, but what do you expect from a closed back headset.Really I actually don't think you can get much better than this, especially for closed back headsets. 10/10Sound quality:Fairly decent clarity, soundstage, and the sound is remarkably well balanced for such a cheap GAMING headset. Usually, gaming headsets have a distinct EQ to make them a bit more 'fun' in more electronic, bassy sounds, but these, due to their balanced sound, have fairly average bass, which may not be enough for some. This will also be a bit more difficult to fix as the mh751's I believe don't get on well with the Cooler Master Software, but I haven't tried it, just assumed since the software works better on devices with USB connection.For some, the lack of virtual surround sound on the mh751s may be a deal breaker (aswell as lack of USB mini DAC), but again you have to consider the price, and how well it does everything else.Overall, stereo sound is excellent for the price, but the lack of Virtual Surround may be a put off. 8/10Microphone:The microphone, at least for me, was a bit muffled. This has been noticed by myself and my friends over discord and makes me sound kinda low and bassy, unclear you could say. However, I am still perfectly understandable, and this isn't that big of an issue for me as I personally don't care too much about my mic quality, as long as it doesn't make the people I am talking to not want to talk to me I am good. I have heard much worse mics that produce an awful amount of static and background noise, these are quite good at blocking that out.One caveat, however, is that they do sometimes pick up my desktop audio. While I am unsure whether this is the headphones or my soundcard, even so, this can be a bit of a pain when playing games and talking to my friends, but very very rarely does it get to the point where my friends can hear it. Again, I have heard worse. As a plus, the mic is detachable, and quite decently flexible, making the headset quite versatile.Overall, a decent mic that should be good enough for talking to teammates in games, and is quite versatile and has some decent features that make it reasonable. 7/10Features:Here is where the MH751's are quite lackluster. For me, I couldn't care one bit, but I know a lot of people care a decent bit about this. There is software for these headphones, but I am unsure whether it works with these due to the 3.5mm connection. However, if they do, the software is very easy to navigate and read but does not have a lot of features in general. They have your typical volume and mic mute remote which I guess is enough. The mic as mentioned before is removable, which is a nice touch. They also come with a black carrier pouch for portability, which is a decent addition considering the less gamery look of the headphones.Overall average amount and quality of features . 6/10Looks, portability and build:I really like what Cooler Master have done here. They keep the shape of their logo but remove the name. This allows gamers to know they are Cooler Master, but anyone else should have no idea. Also, the removable mic is useful if you decide you want to use these outside, although I wouldn't recommend it due to the lack of noise canceling. They are all black and rubberized, not shiny, and have metal hinges for the earcups. Honestly, they look quite good and low profile, especially when compared to other gaming headsets. Heck, they even look better than my sony's, and those are meant for outdoor use.They can also be folded 90 degrees so they rest on your chest when the headphones are around your neck, another nice portability feature along with the removable mic. As mentioned before they come with a black carrier pouch which should be okay for preventing scuffs and scratches, but not any big knocks. However, they just seem to be quite well built, so I wouldn't worry too much. Their cable is also braided similarily to Hyper X Clouds (2 and alpha), which is quite nice for looks as well as durability. Unfortunately, while removable, the main cable does use a proprietary lock system, which may be an issue if it breaks in future.Overall, they look stylish (when mic unplugged), seem well built, have a nice cable, and are more portable than most other gaming headsets. 9/10Conclusion:These headphones are simply excellent for the price. Best wired headset under £100 by far. They have better sound and comfort than any other competitor within this price range, as well as added bonuses or having a decent quality removable mic and cable. If you care a lot about surround sound as well as EQ features/USB DAC, get the mh752s for roughly £15-20 more, which also still pack very good value if that's your thing. They aren't as portable as Bluetooth headsets but are much better than most if not all other gaming ones, as well as better built.TLDR:Comfort/Fit-10/10Sound Quality-8/10Microphone-7/10Features-6/10Looks -9/10Overall-40/50 (Great)

Had a few months now. They're comfortable to wear for a few hours at a time, though can get a little hot. It doesn't bother me too much, and I tend to run hotter than most, but it can be noticeable and given that I've only tested in winter, may get worse as the year runs on. Sit nicely on the head though, cover my ears well enough, and not too heavy.The audio is good, though perhaps not quite bassy enough, and the volume could do with going up a few notches more. I don't like sounds blaring in my ears, but as these aren't noise cancelling, you need to turn them up pretty much to max to cut out a TV on normal volume in the same room. These are not the ones for you if you're looking to escape your kids.The microphone is not as good as I'd hoped. Recording in a near silent room, it picks up a great deal of background noise that you can filter out in something like audacity, but you'd hope you wouldn't have to. I haven't used it for gaming so don't know if it's loud enough to keep broadcasting this to other players, but if it is, expect to be muted a lot. If you're looking to make basic recordings its fine, but for more advanced audio like a YouTube essay or the like, you'd be better off elsewhere.Build quality is decent. I try to take care of my headphones, but they live in the front room rather than an office so a bit of rough and tumble comes with the territory, and they seem to be holding up fine.The braided cable has a nice premium quality to it, but the added texture and weight means it's more likely to rub on a shirt and irritate than a simple plastic cable that wouldn't look as nice, but would be less intrusive.I got these for £65 and I'm quite happy with them, but a bit miffed too, because there are better audio options for the price, and I'm likely going to have to buy a separate microphone for voice recordings, so they're not that much of a bargain. If I'd paid £80, which seems to be standard, fair to say I wouldn't be happy.They're good, but they're not great, and if like me, you were attracted by a couple of YouTube videos where the mic audio sounded surprisingly excellent for a headset, my real life experience says not so much.

I bought this headset for conference calls (mainly audio but also video) at work. We typically have quite a busy office and need decent sound isolation so we are not disturbed by others but, at the same time can hear our own voice through that isolation. Similarly the mic needs good ambient sound isolation so the folk you are talking to don't get all the office background noise and there is no danger of horrid feedback loops. So how did the MH-751's fare? Well:- They are very comfortable and fit around the ears and not sitting on them (personally I find that very uncomfortable. These are spot on and also feel light on the head. Sound Isolation is good and you can hear yourself talk so it's not too blanketing.- The mic articulates nicely and stays put (many don't) where you place it next to your lips. Ambient sound cancelling is excellent. A colleague talking next to me is not heard by others on a call and they don't get other office noise either. Apparently, I'm now much clearer. Important when some of your colleagues are not native English speakers.- The audio quality is very good for the spoken word so I can hear others on the calls much better. Important when many are again not native English speakers.- Finally, the connection cables are braided and don't rustle too much and the headset is a nice understated (i.e. black) design without garish colours and lights. They also fold flat which is handy.Are they good for gaming? I don't really know but this is a very good headset and not stupidly expensive.Highly recommended.
