But to perform the main function - transmitting voice in the same Skype or in a game chat - the microphone with which the headphones under the HyperX brand in this modification are equipped is quite optimal. Both in terms of ease of use and in terms of the quality of the transmitted sound.

What do users themselves say when evaluating their experience of operating a Kingston device in this modification? In general, the reviews from gamers are positive both in terms of the comfort of wearing the headphones and the quality of their work.

Users characterize the device as capable of providing high quality playback of any audio content, as well as audio transmission and recording. True, much in this regard depends on what type of ear pads to use. If these are used in the velor modification, then the quality of bass reproduction is somewhat reduced, as well as the general one.
