The verdict

Browsing over-ear headphones can get tedious. After a while, they all blend together. However, these stand out with their RGB lighting, optional storage, 50mm drivers, and Super X-Fi technology for a realistic sound. Meanwhile, the NanoBoom mic is great for calls and gaming. Sure, the build quality isn’t remarkable, but the reasonable price tag makes up for it.
