Equipped with the best technical specifications from Creative, the Gaming Headset SXFI GAMER transports you to the heart of the game!

Compatible with PC, Mac, and consoles (PlayStation S4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch).

Unique sound, tailored for you

Creative's Super X-Fi technology uses computational audio (Head and Ear-Mapping) to personalize the SXFI GAMER experience based on how you hear sound, offering the most optimized and realistic listening experience.

Super X-Fi recreates 7.1 holographic sound, just like in real life, and can be as good as in a real cinema!

Along with the hyper-realistic sound of Super X-Fi technology, you enjoy a new level of clarity and depth, highlighting the locations of your enemies, as well as their distance from you. Whether it's the faintest footsteps or the quick reloading of a weapon, you can easily pinpoint where the sound is coming from!

CommanderMic

The SXFI GAMER pairs with the CommanderMic, a streaming microphone with a unique acoustic design, engineered to provide the same sensitivity and clarity as many professional microphones. It is further enhanced with the latest SXFI inPerson Microphone technology that uses an algorithm to effectively detect the human voice and focus on enhancing vocal clarity while canceling environmental noise. Speak with absolute confidence and hear clearly as you communicate the battle plan with your teammates - as if you were right next to them!

Custom USB Cable Made of Kevlar

I have stopped writing reviews for products for various reasons. However, this product requires it. It's a shame for someone to buy a product solely because of its marketing, which is a significant factor in itself.

First of all, I should note that I am a daily user who uses them for several hours a day. I have them with me all the time!

These headphones are the best I have ever used. I don't consider myself an expert in sound, as it is endless, but I can easily distinguish what is good and what is not.

SOUND QUALITY

The sound quality of these headphones is crystal clear. The accuracy across the entire frequency range is amazing. You can hear everything that the record label has recorded. You can even hear a fly touching the singer's microphone while recording. As I am writing this review, I am listening to Iron Maiden's new album, and it feels like they are playing right in front of me. I can hear everything, from the continuous opening and closing of the hi-hat to the third and fourth guitars they have recorded.

The sound quality of the Prima headphones surpasses any other headphones I have had before, even those that cost 200 euros. The bass quality is simply outstanding, both rich and crystal clear. The mid-range is where companies struggle, as it is a challenge to get it right. However, Creative has managed to do it. All frequencies come out as they should, without any exaggeration or lack. The noise cancelling is good, although there are headphones that have much better noise cancelling, but those headphones also cost 100 euros more. In terms of isolation, I believe they have no competition, although it doesn't mean they are perfect. Other companies simply don't have a good...

After a certain point, the volume becomes unbearable for me. I can't listen to it that loud! The frequencies remain at very accurate levels even at high volumes. They don't distort. They are very powerful! However, there is a risk of hearing damage with continuous use after a certain point!

If you know about equalizers and how to adjust things correctly, you can do wonders with the sound. I have uploaded an EQ that is designed for rock music (and more) in the photos. Even if you don't know about it, there are millions of photos/articles/videos out there!

Last but not least, for sound, music is only stereo! Gaming is 7.1. ;)

MICROPHONE QUALITY

I haven't been blown away by the microphone, but it's not bad either. It's a good microphone, but that's about it. It has an important function, which is to allow you to hear yourself at a very low volume when you speak. Creative has done this because they have good noise cancelling, so you don't lose your words and can hear yourself, just like playing live. You need a very good/excellent sound card if you connect it with a 3.5mm jack to get what they are intended to give you. For me, it's not worth connecting them to an expensive sound card (like any other headphones in this range). Good sound cards are worth it for other headphones/semi-professional ones, etc.

CONNECTION

The connection is made via USB and 3.5mm jack. If you connect them via USB, you let the headphones work their magic! If you connect them via 3.5mm jack, you need a very good/excellent sound card to get what they are intended to give you. For me, it's not worth plugging them into an expensive sound card (like any other headphones in this range). Good sound cards are worth it for other headphones/semi-professional ones, etc.
The Creative has a mobile application where you scan your ears and face and it adjusts the sound to your preferences. I didn't see a huge difference, just some improvements in certain aspects.

IN GENERAL

For anyone considering buying these, I would say that you will be amazed by the sound. And that if you want to upgrade later, you will have to spend a bit more to get something better. I would tell them to buy them. They will understand what proper sound and frequencies mean.

They cannot be compared to Razer peripherals of the same value or even more. Just no. And this is coming from a user who owns all RAZER peripherals

Guys, the features are many but don't fall for the bait, these are poorly made headphones. In one year, the ear cushions broke, started to peel, and the leather everywhere came off. Just leave it... as for the cable, I won't even discuss it; I changed it in two months. Overall, it's not worth it

  • I bought them for 60 euros three years ago. Excellent sound, beautiful appearance, not so light for long-term use, amazing sound from the microphone which is detachable. They connect both with a jack and with type C.
    The biggest flaw is the quality of the leather which peels off in less than a year and your ears and head get covered with small black pieces from the material. The solution is to peel it all off yourself, swearing the whole time the process lasts.
    Also, the current price is outrageous despite the otherwise very good quality of the headphones

    I had bought it for €40 when it was released and for some reason it received a big price increase over time. As for the sound, it is quite good, especially the superxfi which is amazing for movies and atmospheric games, but the microphone broke on both headsets I had. Also, both started peeling after 4 months and finally, on one the type-c jack broke and on the other the connection is lost when the cable moves

  • So I would like to say a few good words, sound 4 out of 5 of course I play PUBG and they are very good, it's just that my gun deafens me, I don't know how to fix it, also their app I would like it to be more complete in settings, more options, now rating as build materials really a shame 1 out of 5, not to say out of 10, the functions on the headphones are convenient but also very useful, you hear your own voice, you don't need to shout, if the price was 80 to 100 it would be fine but at this price they are ripping you off

    They lasted me 2 years until the frame broke and the ear pads wore out. I had spare parts from some old headphones so I had no problem and I give this to Creative, that you can change them so easily. As for sound, unbeatable and the microphone is top notch. They had very bad noise canceling compared to the competition and the build quality of the plastic was cheap, except for the ear pads which were very good

    Very good sound, I've had them for a few years and I don't think about changing them. The SXFI in movies gives a cinema feeling and the SXFI battle mode puts you right in the game. The ear pads started peeling after a year and a half and left black bits everywhere. I ordered replacement pads from a Chinese site and they fit perfectly, because Creative's site didn't have any.

  • After just one year of use, the leather ear pads have worn out and now every time I wear them they shed. This wouldn't be such a problem if they were detachable and I could replace them, but now I'm stuck with these. Unacceptable quality for headphones over €75. The microphone is incredibly good, the sound could be better. For a price over 75, I would look elsewhere.

    Good sound, very good microphone, build quality is garbage. It's unacceptable for their price that the leatherette peels off and stays on your ears; imagine having to check your ears before leaving the house so you don't have black pieces of leatherette on your head in general, and as for the USB C cable, that's terrible too as it loses connection with just a small movement of your head. I tried to contact the company to send me ear pads because I couldn't find them anywhere else and I never got a response.

    A nice pair of headphones with good features and quite a few things you can customize. In my opinion, it loses 2 stars in its rating solely because of the faux leather it has. Over the time of use, it started to break into small pieces that came off by themselves. For the price I bought them for in 2022, it is unacceptable for the quality of the faux leather to be so poor.

    I use them via USB.
    Very good sound with 3 different modes (personally, I find the game mode very convenient).
    Very comfortable headphones (they don't tire you at all even after long hours of use).
    Very good microphone sound!
    On the downside, the quality of the ear cushions is lacking (after less than a year of use, they started to wear out) and their application disconnects every time you shut down the computer, resulting in having to open it every time to connect to your personalized account (to be honest, I haven't noticed a significant difference in sound quality when connected to the app and when not).
    Note: for those who don't know, when I refer to the app for personalized use, it is an extra feature provided by the company to "map" the anatomy of the ear to produce sound more accurately.

    The headphones are amazing and have possibly the best microphone on the market.
    After 20 months of daily use, mine burned out. I will try to use the warranty, but I will probably end up buying the same ones again.
    I consider it a random occurrence and not something that should deter anyone from buying them.

    The headphones are amazing. The sound quality is exceptional and the sxfi modes are very useful for casual conversation, music, or gaming. I mainly use them on my computer with their software, which is easy to install and use. I have had them for a few months now with a lot of gaming use, and the ear cushions show no signs of wear.

    The headphones were purchased in 11/2022, which means eight months ago. They have been used minimally and presented a defect in the base of the ear cushions. Such damage should not occur after only 20 hours of use!! When I contacted the company, they told me that this kind of defect is not covered and that I can buy a new set of replacement ear cushions. It's just ridiculous.

    I consider it possibly the best choice in this price range. But the sound quality is also for much more expensive headphones on the market. It is not a coincidence that it has won several awards for many years.

    The SXFI is simply perfect, as soon as I put it on it felt strange but now I can't live without it... it really brings the sound to life (like being at a concert).
    To set up your profile, it takes a photo of your face and ears. Personally, I did it myself in 5 minutes (I had to take several photos of my ears for it to accept them).
    The app is average because every time you have to download your profile and sometimes it throws an error and you have to download it again. The RGB, although I don't like them (there is an option to disable them), are generally impressive.
    The only game I play is PUBG and the sound is simply crystal clear!
    The microphone is excellent, you sound very clear... everyone I spoke to was impressed by how clear I sound! (I read in the comments that some people hear their own voice when they speak, but I don't hear it so I assume it's a settings issue).
    For their price, it's simply a steal, the headset is a delight for the ears... I highly recommend it.

    For my own data, I will not rate the construction quality but only the audio experience and comfort.

    For 50mm headphones, they are not as comfortable on the ears, they have bulky cushions which makes them uncomfortable on the ears (at least for me).

    The sound is quite loud and starts from a low volume, to the point where it is annoying. I would like it to be more balanced in terms of volume scale.

    By default, they do not have enough bass, you will need to adjust it from the EQ.

    It has two options, either with type-c (it also provides an adapter) type-c to USB or with a 3.5mm jack.

    What I liked is that even if you turn off the PC, the headphones continue to light up, there is also a button if you want to turn off the lighting.

    Perfect but I have 2 problems, one of them is mentioned in all the reviews and I accepted it from the moment I bought it, and that is that you can hear your voice when you speak and it doesn't close! The second problem that I haven't seen anywhere is that it doesn't have a good cushion on top that supports your head, so after a while it hurts.

    Edit: After 2 months of use, the leather on the cushion that supports your head started to come off and the adapter from type-C to USB that came with the box started to malfunction, meaning it doesn't connect well, so I had to plug it into a type-C port. If you don't have a type-C, you will struggle a lot with these headphones. Nevertheless, I still recommend it for its amazing sound quality.

  • I don't have much to say, previous buyers have said it all! I will say that I had a razer tournament and they don't compare to these! I've had them for a week and I can't have them on for more than 20%, they are too loud... I will only come back if I see something negative... be careful with the detachable microphone, it goes in a specific way, it doesn't need force at the beginning, I didn't know that and I was pushing to make it fit... I mainly use it for gaming but it's also great for listening to music and watching movies!!!

    I have bought them about 3 months ago. I am quite satisfied. The connection with micro USB is much better than connecting it with the 3.1 mm cable as it gives 100% of its capabilities. Perfect sound even if you turn it up to the maximum (although I don't think your ears can handle it at maximum volume for more than 10 minutes). At this price, I consider it value for money. I don't think there is anything better. The only small problem I have is that the faux leather on the inside of the headband started to peel off, but it doesn't bother me that much. I highly recommend it!!

    Well, we have and we say the headphones are amazing, comfort quality of construction tremendous, the rgb simple and minimal, and now let's get to the heart of the matter. I have tried over 50 headphones (studio, gaming), literally the headphones are crystal clear sound with very strong bass very good midrange comfortably compete with professional headphones 200-300 euros on a sound card, I think that the price around 50-60 euros is a steal for such sound quality, the sxfi is tremendous very sophisticated work by creative and finally they made the drivers and a nice simple software because it's a shame from such a company years in the industry tremendous product.

    Terrific headphones for their price. Very convenient, good microphone and well-designed application that allows you to change the colors on the headphones but also change the bass and treble. At first, it's a bit tricky until you connect them to the application. They are worth their money.

    I have them for a year now and it's time for a mini review.

    Absolute VFM, their sound is perfect, especially if you play with the settings. The SXFI is now integrated and works wonders. I simply listen to songs or podcasts and feel like I'm in a good studio. Excellent performance also on PS4. The ear cushions embrace the ear and don't easily tire if you use them regularly. Bonus for the microphone, which is really good, I use it for professional use as well, and the RGB lights give a different tone.

    Very good Headset especially for the 50€ I bought them! They are worth the money and more! The discomfort also has to do with each person's head, if someone has a big head they might feel a little pressure on their ears, but for me it's normal! I would easily buy them again, especially for the 50€ they are almost free for what they offer you!

    Very good headphones, the only negative is the cable which moves excessively, resulting in unclear sound during calls on Discord, etc., and causing interference with the microphone. Additionally, if you accidentally move the cable while gaming, the sound freezes and there is a drop in FPS. This problem was solved by purchasing a new Baseus Braided USB 2.0 Cable USB-C male - USB-C male Black 2m (CATWJ-A01)

I have stopped writing reviews for products for various reasons. However, this product requires it. It's a shame for someone to buy a product solely because of its marketing, which is a significant factor in itself.

First of all, I should note that I am a daily user who uses them for several hours a day. I have them with me all the time!

These headphones are the best I have ever used. I don't consider myself an expert in sound, as it is endless, but I can easily distinguish what is good and what is not.

SOUND QUALITY

The sound quality of these headphones is crystal clear. The accuracy across the entire frequency range is amazing. You can hear everything that the record label has recorded. You can even hear a fly touching the singer's microphone while recording. As I am writing this review, I am listening to Iron Maiden's new album, and it feels like they are playing right in front of me. I can hear everything, from the continuous opening and closing of the hi-hat to the third and fourth guitars they have recorded.

The sound quality of the Prima headphones surpasses any other headphones I have had before, even those that cost 200 euros. The bass quality is simply outstanding, both rich and crystal clear. The mid-range is where companies struggle, as it is a challenge to get it right. However, Creative has managed to do it. All frequencies come out as they should, without any exaggeration or lack. The noise cancelling is good, although there are headphones that have much better noise cancelling, but those headphones also cost 100 euros more. In terms of isolation, I believe they have no competition, although it doesn't mean they are perfect. Other companies simply don't have a good...

After a certain point, the volume becomes unbearable for me. I can't listen to it that loud! The frequencies remain at very accurate levels even at high volumes. They don't distort. They are very powerful! However, there is a risk of hearing damage with continuous use after a certain point!

If you know about equalizers and how to adjust things correctly, you can do wonders with the sound. I have uploaded an EQ that is designed for rock music (and more) in the photos. Even if you don't know about it, there are millions of photos/articles/videos out there!

Last but not least, for sound, music is only stereo! Gaming is 7.1. ;)

MICROPHONE QUALITY

I haven't been blown away by the microphone, but it's not bad either. It's a good microphone, but that's about it. It has an important function, which is to allow you to hear yourself at a very low volume when you speak. Creative has done this because they have good noise cancelling, so you don't lose your words and can hear yourself, just like playing live. You need a very good/excellent sound card if you connect it with a 3.5mm jack to get what they are intended to give you. For me, it's not worth connecting them to an expensive sound card (like any other headphones in this range). Good sound cards are worth it for other headphones/semi-professional ones, etc.

CONNECTION

The connection is made via USB and 3.5mm jack. If you connect them via USB, you let the headphones work their magic! If you connect them via 3.5mm jack, you need a very good/excellent sound card to get what they are intended to give you. For me, it's not worth plugging them into an expensive sound card (like any other headphones in this range). Good sound cards are worth it for other headphones/semi-professional ones, etc.
The Creative has a mobile application where you scan your ears and face and it adjusts the sound to your preferences. I didn't see a huge difference, just some improvements in certain aspects.

IN GENERAL

For anyone considering buying these, I would say that you will be amazed by the sound. And that if you want to upgrade later, you will have to spend a bit more to get something better. I would tell them to buy them. They will understand what proper sound and frequencies mean.

They cannot be compared to Razer peripherals of the same value or even more. Just no. And this is coming from a user who owns all RAZER peripherals

Guys, the features are many but don't fall for the bait, these are poorly made headphones. In one year, the ear cushions broke, started to peel, and the leather everywhere came off. Just leave it... as for the cable, I won't even discuss it; I changed it in two months. Overall, it's not worth it

  • I bought them for 60 euros three years ago. Excellent sound, beautiful appearance, not so light for long-term use, amazing sound from the microphone which is detachable. They connect both with a jack and with type C.
    The biggest flaw is the quality of the leather which peels off in less than a year and your ears and head get covered with small black pieces from the material. The solution is to peel it all off yourself, swearing the whole time the process lasts.
    Also, the current price is outrageous despite the otherwise very good quality of the headphones

    I had bought it for €40 when it was released and for some reason it received a big price increase over time. As for the sound, it is quite good, especially the superxfi which is amazing for movies and atmospheric games, but the microphone broke on both headsets I had. Also, both started peeling after 4 months and finally, on one the type-c jack broke and on the other the connection is lost when the cable moves

  • So I would like to say a few good words, sound 4 out of 5 of course I play PUBG and they are very good, it's just that my gun deafens me, I don't know how to fix it, also their app I would like it to be more complete in settings, more options, now rating as build materials really a shame 1 out of 5, not to say out of 10, the functions on the headphones are convenient but also very useful, you hear your own voice, you don't need to shout, if the price was 80 to 100 it would be fine but at this price they are ripping you off

    They lasted me 2 years until the frame broke and the ear pads wore out. I had spare parts from some old headphones so I had no problem and I give this to Creative, that you can change them so easily. As for sound, unbeatable and the microphone is top notch. They had very bad noise canceling compared to the competition and the build quality of the plastic was cheap, except for the ear pads which were very good

    Very good sound, I've had them for a few years and I don't think about changing them. The SXFI in movies gives a cinema feeling and the SXFI battle mode puts you right in the game. The ear pads started peeling after a year and a half and left black bits everywhere. I ordered replacement pads from a Chinese site and they fit perfectly, because Creative's site didn't have any.

  • After just one year of use, the leather ear pads have worn out and now every time I wear them they shed. This wouldn't be such a problem if they were detachable and I could replace them, but now I'm stuck with these. Unacceptable quality for headphones over €75. The microphone is incredibly good, the sound could be better. For a price over 75, I would look elsewhere.

    Good sound, very good microphone, build quality is garbage. It's unacceptable for their price that the leatherette peels off and stays on your ears; imagine having to check your ears before leaving the house so you don't have black pieces of leatherette on your head in general, and as for the USB C cable, that's terrible too as it loses connection with just a small movement of your head. I tried to contact the company to send me ear pads because I couldn't find them anywhere else and I never got a response.

    A nice pair of headphones with good features and quite a few things you can customize. In my opinion, it loses 2 stars in its rating solely because of the faux leather it has. Over the time of use, it started to break into small pieces that came off by themselves. For the price I bought them for in 2022, it is unacceptable for the quality of the faux leather to be so poor.

    I use them via USB.
    Very good sound with 3 different modes (personally, I find the game mode very convenient).
    Very comfortable headphones (they don't tire you at all even after long hours of use).
    Very good microphone sound!
    On the downside, the quality of the ear cushions is lacking (after less than a year of use, they started to wear out) and their application disconnects every time you shut down the computer, resulting in having to open it every time to connect to your personalized account (to be honest, I haven't noticed a significant difference in sound quality when connected to the app and when not).
    Note: for those who don't know, when I refer to the app for personalized use, it is an extra feature provided by the company to "map" the anatomy of the ear to produce sound more accurately.

    The headphones are amazing and have possibly the best microphone on the market.
    After 20 months of daily use, mine burned out. I will try to use the warranty, but I will probably end up buying the same ones again.
    I consider it a random occurrence and not something that should deter anyone from buying them.

    The headphones are amazing. The sound quality is exceptional and the sxfi modes are very useful for casual conversation, music, or gaming. I mainly use them on my computer with their software, which is easy to install and use. I have had them for a few months now with a lot of gaming use, and the ear cushions show no signs of wear.

    The headphones were purchased in 11/2022, which means eight months ago. They have been used minimally and presented a defect in the base of the ear cushions. Such damage should not occur after only 20 hours of use!! When I contacted the company, they told me that this kind of defect is not covered and that I can buy a new set of replacement ear cushions. It's just ridiculous.

    I consider it possibly the best choice in this price range. But the sound quality is also for much more expensive headphones on the market. It is not a coincidence that it has won several awards for many years.

    The SXFI is simply perfect, as soon as I put it on it felt strange but now I can't live without it... it really brings the sound to life (like being at a concert).
    To set up your profile, it takes a photo of your face and ears. Personally, I did it myself in 5 minutes (I had to take several photos of my ears for it to accept them).
    The app is average because every time you have to download your profile and sometimes it throws an error and you have to download it again. The RGB, although I don't like them (there is an option to disable them), are generally impressive.
    The only game I play is PUBG and the sound is simply crystal clear!
    The microphone is excellent, you sound very clear... everyone I spoke to was impressed by how clear I sound! (I read in the comments that some people hear their own voice when they speak, but I don't hear it so I assume it's a settings issue).
    For their price, it's simply a steal, the headset is a delight for the ears... I highly recommend it.

    For my own data, I will not rate the construction quality but only the audio experience and comfort.

    For 50mm headphones, they are not as comfortable on the ears, they have bulky cushions which makes them uncomfortable on the ears (at least for me).

    The sound is quite loud and starts from a low volume, to the point where it is annoying. I would like it to be more balanced in terms of volume scale.

    By default, they do not have enough bass, you will need to adjust it from the EQ.

    It has two options, either with type-c (it also provides an adapter) type-c to USB or with a 3.5mm jack.

    What I liked is that even if you turn off the PC, the headphones continue to light up, there is also a button if you want to turn off the lighting.

    Perfect but I have 2 problems, one of them is mentioned in all the reviews and I accepted it from the moment I bought it, and that is that you can hear your voice when you speak and it doesn't close! The second problem that I haven't seen anywhere is that it doesn't have a good cushion on top that supports your head, so after a while it hurts.

    Edit: After 2 months of use, the leather on the cushion that supports your head started to come off and the adapter from type-C to USB that came with the box started to malfunction, meaning it doesn't connect well, so I had to plug it into a type-C port. If you don't have a type-C, you will struggle a lot with these headphones. Nevertheless, I still recommend it for its amazing sound quality.

  • I don't have much to say, previous buyers have said it all! I will say that I had a razer tournament and they don't compare to these! I've had them for a week and I can't have them on for more than 20%, they are too loud... I will only come back if I see something negative... be careful with the detachable microphone, it goes in a specific way, it doesn't need force at the beginning, I didn't know that and I was pushing to make it fit... I mainly use it for gaming but it's also great for listening to music and watching movies!!!

    I have bought them about 3 months ago. I am quite satisfied. The connection with micro USB is much better than connecting it with the 3.1 mm cable as it gives 100% of its capabilities. Perfect sound even if you turn it up to the maximum (although I don't think your ears can handle it at maximum volume for more than 10 minutes). At this price, I consider it value for money. I don't think there is anything better. The only small problem I have is that the faux leather on the inside of the headband started to peel off, but it doesn't bother me that much. I highly recommend it!!

    Well, we have and we say the headphones are amazing, comfort quality of construction tremendous, the rgb simple and minimal, and now let's get to the heart of the matter. I have tried over 50 headphones (studio, gaming), literally the headphones are crystal clear sound with very strong bass very good midrange comfortably compete with professional headphones 200-300 euros on a sound card, I think that the price around 50-60 euros is a steal for such sound quality, the sxfi is tremendous very sophisticated work by creative and finally they made the drivers and a nice simple software because it's a shame from such a company years in the industry tremendous product.

    Terrific headphones for their price. Very convenient, good microphone and well-designed application that allows you to change the colors on the headphones but also change the bass and treble. At first, it's a bit tricky until you connect them to the application. They are worth their money.

    I have them for a year now and it's time for a mini review.

    Absolute VFM, their sound is perfect, especially if you play with the settings. The SXFI is now integrated and works wonders. I simply listen to songs or podcasts and feel like I'm in a good studio. Excellent performance also on PS4. The ear cushions embrace the ear and don't easily tire if you use them regularly. Bonus for the microphone, which is really good, I use it for professional use as well, and the RGB lights give a different tone.

    Very good Headset especially for the 50€ I bought them! They are worth the money and more! The discomfort also has to do with each person's head, if someone has a big head they might feel a little pressure on their ears, but for me it's normal! I would easily buy them again, especially for the 50€ they are almost free for what they offer you!

    Very good headphones, the only negative is the cable which moves excessively, resulting in unclear sound during calls on Discord, etc., and causing interference with the microphone. Additionally, if you accidentally move the cable while gaming, the sound freezes and there is a drop in FPS. This problem was solved by purchasing a new Baseus Braided USB 2.0 Cable USB-C male - USB-C male Black 2m (CATWJ-A01)
