EKSA E900 Pro Gaming Headset Review

With how big competitive gaming or just gaming, in general, has become, a good headset is more important to your set up than ever.  However, so often when setting up a new PC, many people overlook new peripherals and often opt for using things such as keyboards, mice, and headsets that they already own. Often, this is due to the cost of what is considered a good, quality gaming headset that can cost upwards of $100 or more. If you are on a tight budget, that extra $100 plus dollars can make a big difference when putting towards a better CPU or GPU.

But too often, just the name that is on that headset can come at a premium. I have come across too many “gaming headsets” where you end up paying for the name, but not getting the quality to match your investment. Because of this, I’ve personally branched off a bit from the mainstream companies and embraced testing less known and more budget-friendly options. However, too often, I’m disappointed.

So, when I was asked to take a look at a headset from a company I had never heard of, I was a bit wary to do so but agreed to do the review. Then the EKSA E900 Pro USB gaming headset arrived at my house in a box that was heavily damaged from Amazon. So, I already had my doubts. Luckily, it still worked. So, I put the EKSA E900 Pro through its paces. I used it for everything from gaming and music to movies and YouTube. So, how did this budget gaming headset do? Let’s find out.
