EKSA E1000 USB Gaming Headset for PC, Computer Headphones with Microphone/Mic Noise Cancelling, 7.1 Surround Sound, RGB Light - Wired Headphones for PS4, PS5 Console, Laptop, Call Center

I bought this headset in Feb 2021, and I am writing this review in April 2025. This headset was a part of my first PC setup, so I was a very casual gamer. For a $30 headset, this is a great budget pick that has lasted me all this time with absolutely no issues. It is comfortable and light. Goes around my ears and doesn't apply a lot of pressure on my head. Durability has held itself up well, too. Only within the past few months, I noticed the leather covering on the padding start to peel and shed. A little annoying, but doesn't impact functionality. Impressive it's lasted this long as someone who regularly games every night. The sound quality is a 4/5. I'm not an audiophile, and this is considering the price point. The only thing is the sound isolation/directional noises fall a little flat, which is something to consider if you are an FPS gamer. TLDR: Great budget pick for casual gamers/users. Impressive durability and comfort. Would pick something else for fps or competitive gamers in terms of sound quality.

Bought these for working from home. My company requires USB and will not approve wireless or 3mm jack. These met the requirements and arrived the quickest, so I chose them. The sound is great, and while they are very big and bulky, they fit quite comfortably. They're easy to use -- simply plus and play. I'd definitely buy them again if needed.

I bought these headphones in September 2023 (it is December 2023 at the time of writing this) and I have had little to no issues with them! They fit perfect, the sound is great, I can't hear anybody talking around me so I'm guessing the noise cancellation is working well, but I have a few issues with it. Firstly, the wire. The cord is made of some soft material instead of the traditional rubber, which was fine at first, but over time it started to coil around itself and start tearing for some reason. No rubber wire I've used has done this, and it sucks trying to pull on the cord to get it to straighten out just for it to go right back to coiling around itself again. The wire that's poking out isn't a huge issue at the moment, but it just keeps getting worse over time. Secondly, the mute switch. It doesn't work at all anymore. I haven't dropped these headphones, haven't messed with its wiring other than the coiling issue, haven't done anything to harm the headphones in any way, yet the switch to mute my microphone just suddenly stopped working. Flipping it to mute still allows people to hear what I'm saying, and flipping it to unmute does the same, which is a bit odd. Finally, the instructions to set up 7.1 audio are either outdated or just wrong. I have a Windows 10 computer, and the tag on the cord is meant for a Windows computer, yet I cannot find anything regarding the 7.1 audio anywhere on my computer, even after researching for an hour and a half. I'm not sure if the 7.1 audio even works because of this, or if the headphones just don't support it at all, but there is no indication on what I'm supposed to do to enable it on my computer. Overall, other than the three issues above, I really like these headphones and will continue using them until the wire decides to break one day. The bass is amazing, the sound quality and volume is great, and the fit is perfect. Solid 7.5/10

I got a set of these headsets last year and they work very well! I reordered another set recently and overall, they're perfect for the music, gaming and programming I use them for on my PC and laptop. Unlike many PC headphones or headsets, they are either connected via USB and a old fashioned mini-headphone connection making many headsets with mics basically useless for my needs because my personal PC/Personal Computer's mini-headphone jack does not work and last year I got a set of th ese EKSA E1000 USB powered headsets and they worked perfect! So, I ordered more and got them recently and works great. They are only USB powered and the mic works via just the single USB connection.....perfect! They have some lighting on the headset themselves, but not overboard....just fine for my likings. The USB connection cord is pretty decent and at least 3 or 4 feet in length. The mic swings in front of your mouth/face by hand only when you need to record items or chat on videos via the personal computer or laptop. For the price....which is pretty decent....you get a pretty good set of headsets with a mic [if ever needed] that has pretty good music qualities and with padded headsets cups over your ears, you'll be just fine wearing them for a hour or so. Yes, these headsets are adjustable and also have padding on the ear cups and topside so your head will be padded too. 5 stars I rate these decent EKSA stereo PC headsets. But it's just my opinion.

So far I haven’t had any issues with it. It’s very soft, RGB lights can be changed with the button on the back of the headset and the microphone is pretty clear and decent quality.

Here's my take on the EKSA E1000 after having used it extensively for close to 4 months. SOUND: 4/5 - The sound quality is great. They're not the most spectacular sounding headphones I've heard, but for the price point, I consider the quality of sound really good and maybe even comparable to those that have a higher price tag. BUILD: 4/5 - Build quality is solid. It's not flimsy and has a sturdy finish. It's bendy enough that taking it on and off isn't an issue at all. The ear pieces are super comfortable. My only concern is the material used, the faux leather. I've used many headsets over the years and in my experience, these types have a tendency to degrade over time due to skin oils breaking down the material and causing shredding which leaves a mess in your hair, clothes, etc. So far it's not an issue but it's something to take into consideration if you plan on using these long term. NOISE CANCELLATION: 2/5 - This is where my main issue lies with this headset. It's not that you can hear surrounding noise with these headphones. You can't hear much outside noise at all with these on so in that regard they're good. HOWEVER... Due to the fact that these headphones have running LED lights on the sides, the power that is being used to generate them creates a soft tone that can be heard when you mute everything. You won't really recognize it while you're playing a game or listening to anything, but it's there and it's a problem, ESPECIALLY if you're playing a pvp game. Since the noise is internal, the mic picks it up which means everyone else you're playing with will ALWAYS hear you, even if you're not saying anything which is a MAJOR issue if you're running up on an enemy and they can hear your hot mic giving your position away. I always find myself muting my mic when preparing for battle and having to remember to unmute myself to communicate which becomes frustrating after a while. There's also no way to shut off the LEDs, they're constantly running when plugged in so there's no way to get the noise to stop. So to summarize, the headphones sound really good for the price point they're at, but the drawback of the LEDs creating a very problematic hot mic situation makes this difficult to recommend for pvp gamers or anyone who isn't looking to annoy others in a voice chat with a constantly running hot mic. I'll most likely stay away from headphones that go for style over function in the future.

I bought this head set back 3.5 years ago and the mic just now gave out. I travel A LOT so my stuff gets beat up quick. I think I bought it for around 20-25 dollar back then. Great Price! Super comfortable! Lasts a long time! I couldnt ask for anything more from a headset then what I got from this one. I just bought another $20 dollar headset to replace it and instantly threw the new one in the trash. It was so bad by comparison. So now even though its near christmass time and delivery times are high I am more than happy to wait for a new one of these reliable headphones to come in. If anything should tell you how good these things are I will say this. I NEVER right reviews for ANYTHING I buy. But I felt these deserved one as a hard gamer over 2 decades

They're really good for the price. Mic kinda gives the muffled voice effect but it's not that bad. Sound is good and they can get really loud to where I can't call for my daughter anymore, I have to physically enter her room to get her attention..
