IKON ALPHA Wireless Gaming Headset quality?

[PaladinLaw]

These: Evetsek

Yes yes, I know, evetsek's se p***

But, anyone had any experience with these?

1. I am not an audiophile. I can tell the difference between shit sound and decent sound, but there's no difference between decent sound and amazing sound. So as long as sound is decent, I'm happy.

2. Mic quality on the other hand is important. All i want is to be able to plug and play and have my friends hear me on discord without it sounding like I'm using a toaster behind a desk fan. My expectations are realistic though, as in, how good can a mic on a R500 wireless headset be, amiright?

3. Only used for gaming and discord. Only play League, Fortnite and Minecraft.

4. My current headphones are the arctis 3. I'm looking at these specifically because they're wireless. I want to be able to get up and go outside and have a smoke between games without disconnecting from the discord.
Note, my PC is literally right next to the sliding door. PC to outside where I smoke is less than 5m with only a sliding door in the way.

Yes, No, Maybe? Will these give me what I'm looking for, or will i have the big disappoint. Plz help.

Cheers

Edit, FWIW, I came across this review, which seems to indicate they're alright. But it's incredibly hard to judge from a single review.

Bump, anyone?

I bought one for the wife, and honestly I'm surprised. The audio quality is rather decent, and range is as good as with my RIG 700HD. I can exit the house and walk to the shed to get the generator out without calls cutting. My colleagues say that the mic sounds really good. It has a detachable mic too, which is nice, and the mic is on a flexible boom.

The battery life also astounds me. They claim 17 hours, I found that it's closer to 22 hours.

It doesn't have talkback monitoring, but that's hardly an issue. The ear cup sizes are rather generous too which means they're comfortable for even the biggest ears.

Amazing headset love mine If you still haven't bought them or are thinking about it still ide 100% go for it again , the only serious issue I'm having , after 2 years ISH of daily use , is the ear cups are starting to peal off , but for R500 these are a steal , battery life was beyond amazing , around 16 to even 24hours of use , feel was amazing fit over my ears and didn't hurt after a hours of game time , mic is decent , buddy got one after I recommend it and he sounds fine ide compare it to a really good phone call , I don't think there's a real downside of the headset honestly thinking of getting another is my headset cushions keep peeling and I get irritated by it . Sadly there nothing else on the market close to these , btw you can also buy off takealot if you wanna screw evetech.


Extra info , if the mic doesn't suit you you can easily change it for any 3.5mm jack microphone seen some people using clip on mics because they sound better , mainly streamers
