Do NOT buy the Fifine H13 headset. I wanted to love this one — the design is gorgeous, the RGB looks incredible, and it's comfortable — but the sound quality is genuinely bad.
Every EQ preset except Movie sounded muddy, hollow, or just wrong, and the 7.1 surround sound is some of the worst I've tested. At $60, you're better off grabbing a pair of HyperX Clouds or a RIG headset.
In this review, I break down everything — design, comfort, build quality, all 4 EQ modes, 7.1 surround, mic quality, and the chat/game slider (spoiler: it didn't work with WaveLink 3.0).
