Redgear Comet 7.1 Wired Over Ear Headphones with Mic

I have used tons of gaming headsets but haven’t seen anything that looks this cool at this price tag. The RGB lights are killer.The look of this headset is sleek,modern and futuristic.The microphone is adjustable to many different angles.I really like playing games with this headset.I had no issue installing these to my PC, they were just plug and play.

The quality of it is amazing for the price, the headset itself is very sturdy so it won’t break like other cheap headsets, the mic quality is also is really good and works great on this headset. My teammates can hear me very clearly and the microphone never cuts in and out. sound quality from the headset is great, no static, very crisp clear sound and great bass for music and finally the ear cuffs are very comfortable I had this headset on for hours and no discomfort, I have really sensitive ears too so this was a massive bonus I would defiantly recommend this headset to anyone.

The Sound itself has a lot of bass. It isn’t always necessary, but I actually don’t mind it since I prefer to have heavy bass when I listen to music anyway. My ears are completely surrounded too, which is great if you have weird-shaped ears! .If you are in a noisy environment, You can still hear some outside noise though, so you’re not completely “cut off” from the real world. Some might find that as bad thing, but I think it’s great in case you need to pause the game and go check on whoever is calling for you in real life.

I would highly recommend this gaming headset if all you want is a gaming headset with futuristic looks and good sound quality.

General Review –

This is an excellent budget headphones if you’re looking forward to build a budget setup. The audio quality is nice, and the sound is crystal clear, no added bass or extra effect, making this an excellent choice for some serious competitive gaming. Of course, this is not a match for pro level headphones, but here you get a lot of value for your money.

I will base my review on a comparison with Redgear’s other USB 7.1 headphones, Cosmo and Thunder-B, as most of readers are looking at the similar products and wondering which one they should go for out of the three.

Against Cosmo –

Comet easily wins out against cosmo, as Comet has a way better sound quality, especially for gaming. For music or movie purposes, Cosmo has way better bass, and Comet will need several tweaks on driver and equalizer ends to even come closer to Cosmo. That being said, the driver software and settings offered for Comet are exactly like Cosmo’s, so you should not feel any difference between the two. But of course, Mic is slightly better on Comet, as it’s omnidirectional, as opposed to Cosmo’s monodirectional. And the Comet has an added attraction on being extremely stylish and on the fly adjustable LEDs. They don’t react to sound as you’d like, but they sure do look a lot cooler compared to simple breathing LEDs of Cosmo. It’s weight and physical profile is also a little lesser, making this a lot better option. That being said, if you are planning on having that “oomf” factor with extra kick of the bass, you’re better off sticking with Cosmo instead.

Against Thunder-B –

This is where Comet meets it’s match, and actually loses out. Thunder-B is easily the better one of the bunch and you’re not gonna regret that purchase. Not only Thunder-B offers a way better and clearer sound quality, it’s configuration software is a level above Comet’s, giving you way better options of customizing your experience. That being said, both Comet and Thunder-B will sound almost same if not properly configured or just attempted plug and play. But someone who can run a properly configured, tuned setup paired with Voicemeeter, Thunder-B superior sound quality easily beats Comet. That being said, Thunder-B is easily very heavy and very clunky compared to Comet, so unless you’re an audiophile with a very good hearing and able to spend hours on end with a heavy headphones, with proper chair that supports your back and neck correctly, you’re better off with Comet.

Note –
Typically, a lot of people have trouble getting these USB 7.1 headphones to work correctly, as they are not your typical plug and play devices, of course they would work when directly plugged in and your system may run them on the generic drivers, but that’s nowhere close to using them to their full potential. What you’re typically supposed to do, is to install the given drivers, adjust the whole 7.1 assembly according to your body, as us human beings have biologically asymmetric hearing, so it must be compensated for, and if you’re extra tech savvy, install Voicemeeter and patch all your devices through it. The added configuration options of Voicemeeter Banana or Potato should make your life much better and the will unlock the true potential of these devices. Of course, it’s very easy to screw up on those, so I would not recommend it unless you know what you’re doing.
