We prefer headsets with detachable cables and microphones, since they’re easier to replace if they break, as well as replaceable earpads. In addition to our testing, we looked for reports of broken headsets in owner reviews of our finalists. Build quality: The headset’s band shouldn’t creak when you put the headset on or move around, and the headset should survive being tossed in a bag.For a great-sounding wireless headset, expect to pay between $150 and $200. You can get more accurate sound in a wired headset that costs more than $150, but that isn’t worth the investment for most people. You can find solid budget options for around $50, but when you go even cheaper you lose sound clarity in the headphones and mic, and the comfort and build quality drop considerably. Price: After researching hundreds of headsets, we found that most people should be happy with a wired set that costs around $100.Microphones that rotate often support a convenient flip-to-mute function, but microphones that bend are easier to position in such a way that they pick up your voice but not every single breath. Some gaming headset mics rotate, some retract, and others bend. So we focused on clarity in a headset’s built-in microphone. Noise cancellation is helpful but tends to affect clarity and make your voice sound as if you’re talking through cupped hands, or stuffy, like you have a cold. Microphone: Most headset microphones have noise cancellation, which minimizes low-pitched sounds such as a computer’s fans or an air purifier well enough but has trouble with higher pitches like loud typing.In games, this means being able to tell how far away the person shooting at you from behind your left shoulder is, for example. One of the most important aspects of sound quality for gaming headsets is a large soundstage, which allows audio that sounds as if it’s coming from a specific location in a three-dimensional space rather than presenting as a single, flat wall of sound. Sound quality: Gaming headsets rarely sound as detailed as comparably priced headphones, but they should still be clear and accurate, with no frequency range overpowering another.We also looked for headsets that accommodated a wide range of heads and ear sizes. The headband design should distribute the headset’s weight so it doesn’t dig into the top of your head, the cups shouldn’t make your ears too hot, and the headset shouldn’t pinch or let too much sound leak out if you wear glasses. A good headset doesn’t clamp too tight on your head or jaw, but it shouldn’t slip off your head, either. Comfort: A gaming headset should be comfortable to wear for hours.So I don’t recommend the Beexcellent GM-20 Gaming Headset due to this issue and even though the Amazon product page had mostly high ratings, the product was unavailable to purchase from Amazon at the time of this review so maybe they pulled the product line. As the product was provided to me it wasn’t just something I could return and order another replacement and get my money back. I gave the brand an option to send me a replacement unit which they chose not to do. Here were some pictures I took of me testing the headset, which was all around in the mediocre range and would have probably been a decent budget gaming headset if not for the mic problem. Combine that with the headband being plastic and easy to potentially crack, I can say skip these type of headbands and go for the headsets that have the leather strap adjusting headband with the plastic poles above it for a dual headband for comfort and support.
Even if the mic was working fine, I don’t like the rubberized mic wand which never stayed where you tried to bend it and just wasn’t really high quality. I didn’t check the mic until after I did all audio and sound checking so was disappointed in the mic in every way. Note the headset portion of the GM-20 worked fine, and sounded fair with everything from PC gaming, Console gaming and mobile gaming. Here is the video showcasing the mic fail on the Beexcellent GM-20 Gaming Headset I will say however that having mic problems on headsets is not uncommon in the lower end price point of headsets and many have complained about the mic not working on the Kotion Each G2000 and other Kotion Each as well as some Sades headsets, so make sure you keep your receipts and known your return policy on anything you purchase, especially if it is a low cost product including gaming headsets that are cheap.
Normally I can get through a complete product review to give my honest opinion on whether a product meets my expections or when it doesn’t, but in this product case the product didn’t survive to even complete a review so this is a buyer beware for the Beexcellent GM-20 Gaming Headset.
