Oooh that one I remember those from those 25€ gaming keyboard, mouse and heaset bundles. It's bad but it is actually useable and better than nothing :p.

So it's not a hot deal, it's just finally priced as the cheap shit it is?

Kinda best I can compare it to is a bit worse version of a logitech g230 which near the end of it's life was about 25-30€ but for sure not as comfortable.

 

Enough for giving to a kid as their first headset but not something I recommend using and to just save up a little or legit just get some apple earpods that are 30$ ish and a mic and headphone splitter for it that is about 3$. Will be much better mic and sound.

Is that not just the definition of e-waste? Lets be honest here.

If youre on a budget yeah might not be the best option going for those e waste 10 bucks junk sources lol although yeah they are usable although realistically for that price they might not even last for 1 month I would suggest rather either waiting for a certain discount to come or try seeing if there is anything in your local store which will be way better than if you were to buy those e waste ones

If you need a headset, and can't drop 5-10 times as much on the 'decent starter' headsets?

For 11 bucks it's totally passable.  I'm using a headset I got for 25 bucks or something at work, and it's totally fine.  I don't need supreme audio fidelity to listen to YT talking heads and shit, and for many people, they'd deal with this for more than a while before /needing/ something else.

$18 USD for koss ksc75s, even comes with a mic. Blow whatever that is outta the water. So I'll pass.

My own Steelseries left ear is dying and its less than a year old here, build quality certantly shows its not the greatest.

 

Might have ordered it myself if it wasnt that importing it is double and shipping somehow is 60€

The pictures for products like these are my favorite part lol

Love the comments - FYI the headset Im replacing lasted 2 years and cost me $8 shipped (bought 2 of them, second headset works fine still) - only reason the $8 headset  lost a speaker is one of my kids ran a pair of scissors on the wire LOL.

 

If you know me - you know I try to find affordable, functional shit - based on Amazon descriptions these are....workable.  BUT I probably wont make it a daily driver.

 

Im already looking at getting a wireless headset for me in the long run

Easy - its just branding.  

 

There are items that I have received that are NOT good (actually more rare than expected and guess what - I can return it ).  But more often than not, I receive quality items at a greatly reduced price (specs matter, internals matter, not brand).  These do look QUITE cheesy but over the ear headphones at this price I havent seen in 2 years.

 

Im about to do a YT video on Aliexpress gun accessories.  Same situation (Ive done it with PC parts to) sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.
