Fifine USB Gaming Headset Review

So here is the headset I thought I would be using as a replacement for the one I was originally using which is the HyperX Cloud Alpha Gaming Headset. I actually recommend that one over this one if your looking for something that is compatible with PC’s, Mac’s and Consoles. The link above is an affiliate link which we may earn a commission from what ever you may buy. Anyways, I was surprised to find that this headset actually supported Ubuntu and was recognized as a USB headset, so it should work on all three operating systems, not sure about other versions of Linux though. I didn’t test this one on my PS5 but, I am sure there is a way to make that work. I read another review and they said it was possible to get to work with a PS5. The build quality it very good, I actually like how they use (Aluminum? or something) in the construction of this headset.

As you can see in the picture above, this thing is very flexible, and has a pretty good microphone for what it’s worth. And as you can see below this headset also comes in Black, which I like the White model better because it matches the color of my desktop gaming PC. The sound adjuster too is pretty cool as it does actually do a good job at changing the sound modes (I believe it has 3 in total). I also forgot to mention that the microphone can be removed from the headset, so don’t worry about that. Probably the coolest thing about this headset is the RGB lights on both the earmuffs and how cool it looks in the dark is pretty nice (the HyperX models don’t have this so far, but it’s not something I crave to be honest).

Here’s some more important information about the headset. The headset bit depth is 16-bit/24-bit, frequency response is 20Hz to 20kHz, with a sample rate of 48kHz. The polar pattern is omni-directional. The microphone is a condenser one, with sensitivity -40±3dB. The output connection is USB Type-A of course. Overall the earmuffs feel pretty comfortable, and probably more comfortable than the HyperX Cloud model. I think the box that this headset came in was pretty good quality, and the most important part was the headset itself which I only use on my second desktop, and so far it has not failed me.

There is only one downside to this headset, which is it’s inability to be unplugged and connected through a 3.5mm connector. The HyperX headset costs a bit more and has this feature, so if Fifine makes a newer model I recommend they do this, and also add one of those filters to the microphone (like what the HyperX model has) then after that they can take my money lol. I would LOVE to only spend $50 on a headset that was like the HyperX model that I previously purchased. Those models run at $90-$110 CAD, which is expensive!. The total weight of this headset is 330 grams, but that doesn’t bother me, it feels pretty light to be honest. I do really miss having a wireless headset but, this one has a long enough cord that I can listen to higher quality sound because it’s actually plugged in.

Conclusion

Honestly, I will use this headset with my laptop or spare desktop gaming PC but, with my main desktop it just doesn’t have the same look and feel as my HyperX headset. But, I know there is hope and maybe Fifine will make the next one even better. The best thing they did was to make this H6 Gaming Headset available in both White and Black so that we have an option to choose from incase we wanted to match the colors with the color of our Desktop tower. I should also say that I recognize Fifine from their budget microphone that I bought a couple years ago for use with recording videos. They make some nice recording equipment for content creators, especially for those on a budget!.
