I found these at a similar price elsewhere and I got them out of curiosity. I have gamed with a fairly extensive list of headphones, mostly non "gaming" headphones.
Long story short, Adata doesn’t know much about sound.
Long story:
From what I can tell the drivers seem fairly capable for the price but it's also hard to be sure since the tuning is horrible. I don't commend anyone that likes stupid amounts of mid-bass but if you do, these are where it’s at, though I still don’t understand why anyone would want to be here. Also, it’s fair to say as stupid as the bass is, for those that are so far gone that they enjoy the vibrating headphones even these might not be enough since they don’t have any vibrating motors. Comfort is fine on my average sized head though it might not fit comfortably on larger heads.
The amp components are meh, quality wise an Asus DGX would whop the floor with it but it would have done well enough for this headset if only Adata did not again s*** on the software, still it can get decent positional info by using voice mode, which cuts the bass, and turning 7.1 on. The 7.1 is oddly fine in this case as it's fairly simple as it only increases soundstage fairly evenly but there are a lot of better starting points to positional audio which don't require software to work.
The stand is pretty nice.
There are many decent gaming headsets nowadays but most of them are still very bad. This one is very bad as well but unlike most which are not the best choice for anyone at least this one fits a niche. Also, I think they might not be bad as a starting point for some experimental modding but if you want to test this hypothesis you do so at your own risk.
