The best budget headphones for computer

Not every person needs expensive “ears”. Sometimes the user already has excellent acoustics, and the headphones serve only as an auxiliary device (for example, so as not to wake up the household at night when they urgently need to listen to something). Other people simply don’t see any reason to throw away a lot of money, because it’s difficult to notice the difference between top-end and budget solutions by ear. Some people simply don’t have the money for an advanced headset. In all similar cases, this category will help you.

A4Tech HS-60

The review of headphones begins with an excellent budget model from A4Tech. The headset is of excellent quality and, for its price, well equipped. In addition to the “ears” themselves, the box contains a hook for attaching the device to the monitor and two pairs of replaceable ear pads. Initially, a fur solution was installed on computer headphones with a microphone. In winter, it may be comfortable, but in summer it is better to use additional leatherette ear pads. The HS-60s play quite decently, but the sound definitely lacks low frequencies. The volume reserve is also modest, but many users will not need more.

Advantages:

• retro design;
• monitor hook;
• two pairs of ear pads;
• good sound insulation;
• low cost.

Flaws:

• bass is almost inaudible;
• not too loud.

Gembird MHS-780B

A good model with a one-way cable connection. The length of the latter is 1.8 meters, and at the end it contains two 3.5 mm connectors. Yes, these cheap computer headphones from Gembird are equipped with a microphone, but the quality is frankly low. The same model can be purchased in white at a similar cost. If you are interested in this option, then look for a modification without the “B” prefix at the end.

The MHS-780B cable contains a volume control, which is very convenient. Thanks to the high sensitivity of 105 dB, the headphones provide a good volume reserve. The sound of this model is also good, but not bad for its price.

Advantages:

• price/sound ratio;
• good build quality;
• volume control on cable;
• They sit very comfortably on the head.

Flaws:

• There is practically no microphone.

SVEN AP-520

Another good headset for a computer, which can be recommended to buyers with low requirements. They are very compact and light, so you hardly feel them on your head. If you plan to buy these headphones for work (calling on Skype or IP telephony), then the built-in microphone will be very useful. Its sensitivity is 48 dB, while the headphones themselves reach 106 dB. Other advantages of good SVEN headphones include a long cable (2.2 meters), so you can connect the headphones to your computer no matter how you organize your workplace.

Advantages:

• adjustable headband;
• fabric braided cable;
• very low cost;
• good bass;

The best headphones for a computer with a high-quality microphone

The best headphones for PC gaming

The eSports industry is more popular today than ever before. Developers are creating more and more advanced projects, in which not only the picture, but also the sound are perfectly developed. Explosions, the rustling of leaves along which the enemy is running, the direction of shots and other details are very important if the gamer wants to quickly react to the environment. Modern gaming headphones for PC can help with this. Such models are tailored specifically for gamers. Moreover, this concerns not only balanced sound, but also ergonomics, the role of which during continuous hours of gaming is difficult to overestimate.

CROWN MICRO CMGH-30

Gaming headsets are usually very expensive, which scares off many buyers. However, CROWN MICRO took a different path, offering affordable and good “ears” CMGH-30. The best headphones, according to user reviews, are offered in several color options: blue, red, orange and green. But only the colors of small inserts on the cups and headband change, when the rest of the body remains black.

This will be useful not only in games, but also when watching action movies.

Advantages:

• low cost;
• very good sound;
• attractive design;
• quality of sensation of effects;
• excellent ergonomics.

• The microphone does not suppress noise well.

Another plus of this headset is the high-quality cable in black and red braid.

Advantages:

• proprietary utility;

The headset comes complete with two cables (3.5 mm for wired connection and Micro-USB for charging), a detachable microphone and a wireless receiver operating at a frequency of 2.4 GHz. In size, the latter resembles a regular USB flash drive; it works very stably.

All three connectors are located on the side of the left bowl. There is also a button to turn on the headphones, and on the body of the “ear” there is a button to mute the microphone.

The design of the Cloud Fight headphones displays the signature style of the HyperX brand. The case materials are of very high quality, the assembly is excellent. Also pleasing is the matte finish, which does not attract fingerprints at all. A pair of red wires near the headbands relieves the “ears” of excessive severity.

Also a design element are the logos on each of the bowls. They glow, and the user can choose the nature of the glow manually: static or blinking.

A pair of 50 mm drivers with neodymium magnets is responsible for the sound in wireless headphones from HyperX.

• great sound;
• perfect ergonomics;
• exemplary assembly;

How to choose headphones for PC

1. Type. Tablets or earbuds are the simplest models in design and sound. An alternative to them are plugs, which, due to their design, offer better sound insulation. But for PCs it is better to choose overhead or monitor ones.
2. Microphone. It can be used for various tasks, from communicating in game chats and work, to communicating with friends. Depending on the task at hand, you need to choose a headset of appropriate quality.
3. Connection. The models on the market are divided into two categories: wired and wireless headphones. The latter are more convenient, but more expensive (especially for good sound without delays). Wired ones can connect via 3.5 mm and USB.
4. Cable. If it is too thin, it can wear out quickly. Thick cables can also be different. Thus, braided cords are more reliable and do not tangle. Also note that the cables can be firmly fixed to the bowl and removable.
5. Remote controller. Very useful when you need to quickly adjust the sound or mute the microphone. In some models, the latter is turned off simply by lifting it up. But usually there is a separate button for this on the bowl or remote control.
