With the E900 Pro, Chinese manufacturer EKSA throws a gaming headset with virtual 7.1 sound onto the market, which was presented to us very confidently as the “Best Gaming Headset under $50”. Of course, something like this triggers us to take a closer look and listen in this case as well. Because why you always have to be careful with such statements and what the 40€ headset can really do in the end (or rather not), you can read in today’s review. By the way, the stand must be purchased separately, but I’ll get to that later.
Priced at $89.99, the E900 Pro has apparently been permanently reduced to $55.99. I had discovered how exactly this fits with the statement “Best headset under $50” when I found out the real market price of the headset. This has been holding steady at $39.99 for months now, which is a far cry from the unrealistic $89.99. It is probably clear to everyone that you cannot expect miracles in the price range of 40€.
However, there are better and worse devices in this price range as well, and the overall impression depends very much on the features the manufacturer invests the available budget in. Among others, the E900 Pro has to compete with the similar Sharkoon B2 and the SGH50, which costs just 15€ more and made waves with its unexpected qualities. But before we delve deeper into the matter, we’ll first free the EKSA device from its packaging.
Unboxing
The outer packaging is so compact at just 17x18x9cm that I initially assumed it was a headset for children.
But in fact there was a headset in the package not a kit. The headset comes packed in a carrying case, the accessories in a zip bag. Otherwise, no other plastic is included.
At first glance, the E900 Pro even makes quite a nice impression!
The scope of delivery includes USB and jack cables, a TRRS adapter, the detachable microphone including pop protection and the obligatory notebook.
The microphone comes unmounted, and there is also a pop shield.
The jack plug has a lock that you can’t accidentally pull it out of the port and the nice side effect that Kevin-Klaus doesn’t put plugs into the wrong jack.
The ready-to-use headset:
On the whole, everything makes a good impression so far. Unfortunately, appearances are somewhat deceptive, as will become apparent on the following pages.
