Cat Ear Headphones, Gaming Headset (Wireless, Green)

These headphones are adorable and I love that they light up and you can change the color! They are very comfy and soft, there’s padding on the top too so it doesn’t hurt your head, and I love the interchangeable speaker tags - you can choose to have more plain ones, or the kitty ones. The retractable mic is also very useful, as I don’t always use the mic and I like the option to not have it in front of my face especially if I’m eating/drinking. They also reduce background noise quite a bit which I love. The only inconvenience was discovering that my PS4 is not compatible with Bluetooth headsets, so I had to buy a separate Bluetooth adapter but thankfully that was a very easy fix and it let me pair my headset right away and works great.

UPDATE: It was ALL my USB plug! I switched these to the BACK of my computer and now they're perfectly fine! My front USB plugs are the problem and they don't work well on a USB hub. But plugged into my rear USB ports and they're perfectly fine. I was just about to upgrade to the wireless ones as well but apparently my my built-in wireless is trash as well. It's ok though cause they work and I'm tickled purple :D ************************************************************* I've really tried to like these. They're freaking cute, but the sound quality has progressively gotten worse and I haven't even had these a year. They pop, crackle and hiss off and on. I change the setting, it still happens. I unplug them and try a different USB plug, same thing. Them I got back to using an old set of earbuds I've had for like 3 years. Pick these back up a day or so later and they're fine...until I switch games and then the pop, crackle, hiss game starts all over again. I expected a lot more from a $60 pair of headphones...they should last longer and have better sound quality than a $10 pair of Wally-World earbuds.

The sound is good. I've heard better, but not for under $100. The mic is strong and it sits very comfortably. I often wear them out of the house, and I get tons of compliments when I do! The ears light up and you can change their colors to coordinate with you outfit, or you can set it to pulse and change colors randomly. Complaints: It gets a bit buggy if you switch which items you connect to. Sometimes I use it for my phone, and sometimes I use it for my computer. And that can make it drop connections or mute the mic for some reason. The charge doesn't last very long. Maybe a few hours. But you can use it while it's plugged in. Audio quality plummets while gaming and chatting.

So....I will start with the pros of this headset. It is really cute. Looks just like the pictures and has little interchangeable tags for the ear covers. It would be cute in pictures. The noise cancellation works very well I can't hear anything when I have it on. It is in fact bluetooth, and it functions. Unfortunately that is all I can say positively about this headset because it sucks. First off, it is very uncomfortable. It is completely round unlike a typical head so it gaps on top and squeezes at the ears. It is completely inflexible and the top is too heavy to really adjust higher. The padding is light and not bad around the ears but on top it squishes down immediately to where it barely exists. The sound quality is awful and comes out tinney and sharp. It has three "different" modes: gaming, music, and live modes and none of them sound better. The way your voice sounds through the microphone is akin to the quality of being on speaker when talking on the phone. There is a staticky sound in the background at all times if you are trying to listen to a game and talk simultaneously. For the amount that this headset cost I expected it to at least be semi decent quality and I find myself wishing I had just bought a $15 temporary replacement because this is such a huge disappointment.

I was really hoping these would at least work enough for cozy gaming, and they do, but for the price these headphones are just not IT. Like others have said other than being cute there's not much more going for them for their $70+ price. I also want to mention as this isn't a pro or con but kind of weird, the box they came in says SOMIC brand and the item listing doesn't claim to be SOMIC at all so this is likely a fake/knockoff product or something to that effect. So, I might as well start off with the what's "good" about these headphones. Pros: Cute - These are the only cat ear headphones that I could find in a genuine green color. They match my aesthetic perfectly. Quality - To me these don't feel cheaply made, the plastic feels sturdy, there's no rattling in any of the components, they don't feel like one drop they're going to break. The build quality for $70 is about the only thing about the price that seems on par if only they could perform. Comfort - The ear cushions are comfortable; I don't experience any pinching like I saw in some other reviews. I've worn these with earrings and glasses, and I can wear them for an extended period of time. They are weighty like other have mentioned but I've worn heavier headphones before so that's not an issue for me. Edit: I forgot to add that the earpieces don't stay at the smallest size setting. The weight of the earpieces does make them move down slightly but they fit me perfectly, this isn't a Con for me but may be for you if you need these to be on the smallest fit. Cons: Connection: Bluetooth mode is trash, maybe if they added a dongle as to how it connects than maybe it would improve but as is I would easily tell you to skip these headphones if you play only wireless and don't do more than cozy gaming. Even when I cozy game and am sitting right at my pc, they headphones skip like an cd player, don't even think about walking 5 or more feet away. Although I can say this issue is more when using my pc, when connected to my phone they seem fine. But I didn't buy them for my phone so that's kind of beside the point. When using them wired they work just fine except you can't use the mic and they don't light up. Edit: you can use the mic while wired I just didn’t have the right settings, but it’s still true they don’t light up while wired 😂 Mic Quality - this is just above a step up from trash (I think) because you can be heard, and it connects easily. The only reason I say I think is because when I chatted with my bf while on Fortnite, his words were "Yeah I can hear you but it's quiet like I can tell you're not using your good headset". So, if that tells you kind of something like it did me, I wouldn't say these are ideal for group gaming where you'll need to communicate often. The wired cord it comes with is short like most so if you want to be able to get up and take a few steps id invest in a longer cord. Lighting - the lights work fine, like stated previously, when wired they don't light up which is kind of dumb. The lighting colors options are limited with just basic colors. The touch spot on the ear cover if using the decal plates can be hard to find, I had to memorize that the cats' paws holding onto the broom are where the touch spot would be. Overall, there may be some pros or cons I forgot to list but just from this alone I would comfortably say to look at better options. The only reason I'm keeping them is because I'm a cozy gamer so using them wired isn't a big deal for me, they're an okay backup while my other set is charging and yes, I'm also keeping them because they're cute. So, if you have $70 to spend on cute go for it, but if you're looking for something that is going to be your "go to" headset, look elsewhere.

Wish they were wireless
