Finally a decent looking headphones, and I swear Onikuma makes some of the most good sounding mics out there

Agreed

Great video mate, appreciate the mic test

[@jacobm672]

Sweet, this is really helpful. My MPOW wireless headphones have gotten a little worse for wear, and ive been looking for some new headphones that arent too expensive, but not too crappy either.

[@JeannieLove]

I was recommended MPOW and while the microphone is better than what I was using before, it's still not great. Judging from this video, the k8 mic might be better.

[@user-ty6we2sp2m]

same the mpow mic is pretty mediocre since it doesn't even work when it's plugged in...

[@asadiniyo9267]

How are the headsets going?

[@louieggg213]

Asadiniyo Good yh. They are really good actually. I’m still using them they haven’t broken in any way they are really comfortable even after 8+ hours of wearing them. The only complaint is that there’s a buzzing sound that can be annoying at times but most of the time you don’t even notice it. Also cats love to bite the microphone on this headset. My cats chewed the microphone and now it looks like an avocado. For $20 these are definitely worth it.

Onikuma isn't that behind your shure, in fact, they sound kinda the same.

I like the k 9 with the retractable mic. There not a 300 dollar headphone so dont expect that but they have great sound mic is good for the price.

[@sonny12681]

Are these headphones good for playing VR games that make you walk around the room? I can't use headphones that have to be plugged into the PC. The headphones just have to be hooked up into the VR headset.

[@jfigz2449]

My headset mic keeps going off after a couple seconds and I can’t take through my mic at all. I tried restarting my PS5 and the mic works again only for a minute then goes off again. Idk what to do

Nice review dude! but which is better, K8 or K20?

[@shamimasumi208]

how good is the surround system? How good it is to locate enemy?

[@chooonz1396]

it's good. you can hear direction the enemy is and how far they are. It gets the job done for me in valorant

[@ItzOva_9000]

I only played a couple of games of cod with them so far so I can't really give you a really good sound explanation but from what I can tell it isn't bad at all I've located enemies pretty well they aren't as good as turtle beaches when being super precise with telling you where the enemy is like turtle beaches or other very high end headsets but it definitely gets the job done and pretty well I may say for there price range overall if you're looking to get a good everyday gaming headset without breaking your pockets these are the ones 💯👌🏾 ps. Where I find these most enjoyable though is when I'm watching a tv show or movie (especially anime or action movie) because it makes you feel as though your right there 💪🏽

[@makhmudk]

K3 or K8?

[@LienoGenesis]

This really is just a cheap headset for GAMING and thats it. dont expect a good time listening to music with this. its big and kinda ugly though, build quality is good for the price. and is not gonna too easily break on you. comfort is good.
