ACEPHA PC Gaming Headset, 7.1 Channel Virtual Surround Sound with Mic, USB Wired with On-Cable Controls, Soft Earmuffs with Noise Cancelling, Lightweight Design, Black&Blue

***UPDATED REVIEW*** The seller was quick to respond to my negative experience, and sent me a new pair within a few days. Great service, and the new set is what I was expecting, so I will change my rating to reflect these new ones, as I feel what happened to me is an anomaly. First, this is indeed the Acepha G7000 model headset. this is not mentioned in the title of the listing, but you can barely make out the model in the product photo. The headphones work on PC with no drivers necessary to install. However, you will only get stereo sound in this manner. To get the (simulated) 7.1 surround wound, you need to install the drivers that come on the disc in the box, or download from the Acepha site. The headphones DO WORK WITH PS4 for both the speakers and the microphone. However, since you can not install the drivers on a PS4, you will only get stereo sound. To enable on PS4, plug them in to the USB port, then go to Settings > Devices > Audio Devices > then change your Input and Output Devices to the "USB Headset," assuming you want to use these for both sound and communications with the mic. As for sound, the mic is very sensitive, and will pick up ambient sounds within a few feet of you. There does seem to be some noise cancelling tech at work though since even though I can hear some ambient sounds in my ears as I'm recording or streaming, the same "echo" can not be heard on the final product. The earphone themselves are a bit hefty, but still comfortable for short to mid ranged sessions. There isn't much depth to the earpiece padding, so if your ears stick out more than most people, they will likely rub up against the speaker netting inside. The overall sound is good, though keep in mind there isn't a lot of bass. This is compensated for with two different "vibration" mode settings that simulate the boom you feel with true deep bass sounds. The cord is braided, and the USB plug feels solid. The in-line controls are what you want, with the ability to adjust volume, mute mic, mute headphones, and even turn off all lights. When muted, there is a light that glows as well to give you a visual confirmation that no one can hear you. The vibration settings (High, Low, Off) are also on the in-line controls. The PC software is identical to the Sades software, so if you have issues using the Acepha ones, those are fine, they just have a different logo in the upper-right corner. They both allow several features that you will likely never need, but there are some cool toys like voice modulation that let you sound super deep or high. Be sure to right-click the speaker or microphone icon in the left of the app to see all of the options for each. Overall, this is a great headset for gaming on PC/PS4, assuming you aren't a serious audiophile. If you need perfect 7.1 surround, then these are not for you. If you want 85% of the features and sound quality at 10% of the cost of the premium headsets, then this is a great buy. **Old review follows*** Headphones were listed ss New but were definitelt used/repackaged. Shipping box/bag was fine, but product box was crushed and tab that secures lid was ripped as if someone tore into it. Headphones were not wrapped in any kind of plastic, cord was loosely braided together, earpads have minor scuff marks, and the headphones and box have an odor, like they were left in a damp place for an extended period of time, or in an unclean house with a smoker/pets. Headphones seem to work well, but the smell is noticeable when wearing them. Will give them a few days to "air out" and see if that helps. Drivers on the Acepha site has a link to this model (GS7000) but actual drivers in linked file are for the GS8000. Not sure if this is an error or not. Seem to be compatible with the drivers fpr the most recent Sades headphones I have.

The other reviews aren't exaggerating, I put these up against a pair of sennheiser HD650s and was amazed at the smallness of difference. These are a bit more bright/airy, and flatter, so you don't get quite the depth of a pair of senns, but the clarity, loudness and detail are pretty close. Having their own power source probably helps but mainly these are huge drivers that sound great, especially for the price. The microphone sounds good too. My only complaints are: 1) it's comfortable but the cups still press a bit on my ears, so after an hour or so they start to get a bit uncomfortable. Nothing severe but I've had better ergonomic (and a lot worse too; the top suspension works excellently). 2) the volume/mic controller is bulky and gets in the way, and I'd prefer if the mic button was momentary instead of on/off. 3) the lights are atrocious. Bright blue LEDs all over the place, incuding the mic in front of your face. Thankfully you can turn it off. The whoofer simulation is great too, they actually vibrate below certain frequencies. Makes playing war and action games really fun, you really feel the explosions! I would definitely recommend these, for the price. Keep in mind they are gaming and not music headphones so don't get them for music, but they do have the kind of drivers where you hear everything so they could work for studio monitors. For gaming these are awesome!

Great sound and features... would not buy again though because the cord is not great quality... cord became dangerously split open... moved on to a better type.

Great sound and functionality, and very comfortable. I play for a couple hours at a time, wearing glasses, and it does not get uncomfortable.Controller on the long, braided cord works great for lights on/off, volume +/-, and mute. There is a button for rumble/vibration, but my game does not use it so the button flashes. I turn it off with 2 clicks, which makes me think there are two settings and on/off. The lights look pretty cool. Comes with the software for the 7.1 surround on a disk but I downloaded it--installs a small control panel, seems to work good. This headset is really big, the top band stands 2 inches off my head, but it seems very sturdy.

Have had these head phones for about a year. They sound amazing and the mic is great, so why the 3 star rating? They broke, more specifically the wire to the headset broke internally and not the speaker cuts in and out. I would still recommend this product, but be careful of the cord and do not get the cord to twisted or have any weight on it.

So the big issue is its compatibility with some sound cards found often in Windows 10 computers which causes issues such as sound drop,mic spiking,and sound spikes. If you do not have a CD drive,like on most laptops,you will have to manually install all of the sound files which is a bit of a hassle overall. The cuffs do not offer much comfort and after wearing for more than an hour the headset starts to make the ears uncomfortables and sore. I tried to do the return through their website and heard nothing within a week so ended up doing it through Amazon instead. Do not recommend.this product at all.

I'm pretty critical of headphones and have had several pairs from Amazon that were returned because of the poor quality but these ACEPHA ones have to be one of the best sounding ones I have ever gotten and for the price, you just can't beat what they have to offer. The software easily installs and lets you access various sound control features for Hi-Fi, music, movies and a manual selection if you want to fool around with the equalizer. I didn't even have to go the Control Panel and fool with my sound settings at all, which is a nice plus. The cord is also braided which is also nice and the controller for the sound settings is clearly marked with volume & microphone controls as well as the option for vibration and the option to turn off the lights if that's not your thing. I've worn them for several hours and they still feel very comfortable while playing WoW or listening to music. The sound though is incredible for such a low priced headset, I'd even put them up against my Sennheiser set that I use for work. The only con that may be bad is that they are a little big and bulky, but I can overlook and get used to it. Overall this is just a great headset that I hope lasts a long time.

Excellent build quality and sound for the price. I had previously owned wireless headsets, that were very nice, but very expensive (almost 6x more expensive)... and eventually the charger cable stopped working and they were a loss. With these headphones, I get nearly the same sound quality and features that I had with the other more expensive ones, and I have more peace of mind knowing that there are fewer things that can go wrong. So far I LOVE these headphones, they are a bit heavy, but that doesn't make them feel uncomfortable. In addition the mic come through clear as a bell... Exellent for the price.

PS4 USBに挿せば認識 音量設定とかはPS4本体の方で設定が必要 2ch（ステレオ）になるのでPS4で使用する人は注意 VCのオフはヘッドセットのコントローラーで出来るので便利（接続時はオンなので注意） 音質的には軽い感じ（チューニングができないので） PC ドライバを入れて専用ソフトで変更できるのでかなり良くなる 7.1チャンネルサラウンドサウンドにするには専用ソフトの方で設定するのを忘れないように イコライザー等を設定してFPSなどは足音等を強調すると聴きやすくなる 値段的に良い製品

ヘッドセットが欲しくて、眼鏡対応で購入した。 眼鏡かけると耳が痛い。 重い。 とてもじゃないが長時間の使用に耐えられない。 ドライバーも付属ではインストール出来ない。ホームページからダウンロードが必要だった。 アンインストールしても、スタートアップに残る。

全体的にしっかりしていて値段の見当がつかないほど・・・ 重量が結構あるので疲れやすい気もする。星４つで 振動機能やばいぃ

初めての購入なので一般のヘッドセットについては知りませんが、このヘッドセットはヘッドホンの根元から約50cm先に縦11cm*横4cmのコントローラーがあります。ちょっと大きくぶつけたりします。（こんな物かね？） コントローラーは基本「青」に光っていますがマイクのミュート部分が「緑」に光ります。 ヘッドホンのミュートは自分の場合初期不良なのか光りません。しかしそこは大した問題ではないので返品・交換は申し出ませんでした。 また、自分は「簡単に取れるイヤーパッド」というのに注目して買ったのですが、肝心の取り方が取り扱いマニュアルに載ってないためどうしたものか悩んでます。（色々使ってる人は知ってて当たり前なのかな？） （追記）取り方を教えてもらったので報告。 イヤーパッドの青い部分とヘッドホン側のプラスチックの間をメキメキと取り外すことができるようです。

何年か使ったあとのレビュー。 もう壊れてしまったが、商品があればもう一回買いたいと思う（個人的な意見です） ちょっと問題なのは、専用のサイトやアプリをDLしてインストールするタイプなのでそういうのを危惧される方はおすすめできないかも
