Bengoo G9000 Stereo Gaming Headset Review

Bengoo G9000 is an affordable gaming headset with the ability to deliver stereo-quality sound in all situations.

It is excellent for those with a budget of less than $100 but needs a headset that packs some high-end qualities.

In this Bengoo G9000 Stereo Gaming Headset review, we shall discuss the product in greater detail to help you make a wise choice the next time you go shopping.

The following are some of the impressive features you get to enjoy after buying this particular gaming headset:

The G9000 is an over-ear gaming headset that comes with a universal 3.5mm auxiliary audio jack. Consequently, it is compatible with almost all the gaming platforms you can buy.

It works perfectly with PC, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, tablet, and mobile phones.

You can also transform it into a wireless headset using the controller audio jack on PS4. Besides, the gaming headset works on different operating systems, including iOS, Windows, and Android.

However, you may need an extra adapter from Microsoft for the device to work with the older Xbox One controller.

An important aspect of compatibility is a gaming headset's ability to sound the same across different platforms.

While many of the available headsets may have surround sound on only a few media, the Bengoo G9000 is consistently one of the above devices. It is an excellent choice for those with multiple devices and who need consistency across the board.

One of the most significant selling points for this gaming headset is the impressive sound quality you get from 40mm magnetic neodymium drivers.

The speaker unit is so sensitive that it creates the perfect balance between precision highs and powerful lows. Consequently, you get a vivid, broad-spectrum, clearer, shock-feeling sound field.

You get to hear the footsteps, gunshots, honking horns, sirens, and other in-game details vividly.

It is suitable for video games with detailed sound effects, including World of Warcraft Legion, Overwatch, Star Wars Battlefront, Call of Duty, Metal Gear Solid, and Halo 5 Guardians.

However, the bass seems to take center stage over other sounds. You may end up hearing fewer mid-range sounds and more of the bass. Therefore, it is suitable for individuals looking for more powerful bass.

Since you will be using your gaming headset over long-drawn gaming sessions, you need to get a comfortable one. No matter how good it sounds, an uncomfortable headset might end up hurting you more than you expect.

Fortunately, the Bengoo G9000 ticks all the right boxes when it comes to giving you enduring comfort.

It features a "humanized design" with breathable protein leather ear cups that prevent the build-up of heat around your ears. There is a soft memory foam padding under the protein leather cover to reduce pressure and protect you.

The headband also has padding for protecting multiple points. Also, the headband is adjustable and can fit onto heads of any shape and size.

However, this section's padding doesn't utilize the breathable protein leather and may make you sweat more than you expect.

Another drawback is the adjustable headband's likelihood to bold into long hair, causing inconvenience when removing the headset.

It also has glaring LED lights that dance along to the music, creating a realistic gaming atmosphere.

The gaming headset comes with a tremendous bendable microphone that works on all the gaming platforms with which it is compatible.

With the flexibility that comes with the microphone, you can bend it towards your mouth to quickly pick your voice when communicating with your teammates.

Even if you leave it further from the mouth, the omnidirectional mic still picks up your voice. Therefore, unless you mute it, you will still send messages to your teammates.

Besides, the microphone has noise-canceling capabilities that enable it to lock out unwanted ambient sound. Therefore, when the person on the other side listens to you, they cannot hear as much as the sound of your breath.

That's because the microphone doesn't capture anything other than your voice.

Finally, you can bend or extend the mic at will, depending on your needs. There is also a mute mic function, which shuts the mic whenever you want to convert the headset into ordinary headphones and listen to music.

Many budget gaming headsets fail the durability test almost all the time. That's because most manufacturers want to cut corners in providing weather materials and using poor artistry to build the headsets.

Therefore, it is not uncommon to find these headsets' reviewers saying they only lasted for a few days. You would expect the Bengoo G9000 to be like one of those flimsy gaming headsets you bought in the past.

The gaming headset is surprisingly strong at less than $30. Barring a severe accident, you will likely stay with the headset for a long time. For once, the headset features high-tensile materials that are hard to break.

It also comes with an anti-winding braided USB cable that doesn't twine as you keep using it. One reviewer even twisted the ear cups and ended up not damaging the headset.

That's something you cannot say about many of the gaming headsets in the lower price range category.

Who wants a gaming headset with fixed volume levels and EQ settings? For sure, you are not one of them.

The Bengoo G9000 comes with easy inline volume control to regulate the in-game and chat sound.

Therefore, you can use the volume wheel to create the perfect balance between them since you would be hearing them simultaneously.

You also get a handy mute mic function for cutting off the mic when you finish your in-game conversations and want to listen to music or watch movies.

Of course, the Bengoo G9000 isn't an exclusively gaming headset. Unlike other headsets in the lower price range, you can use them to listen to music once you finish playing your favorite video games.

It can provide a balanced music experience depending on the genre you love. If you are into acoustic music, you might find the headset inadequate, given the lack of a flat EQ spectrum.

However, lower bass-heavy music like EDM, Hip-Hop, and Trap will find the headset quite enchanting. Its heavy bass is an attribute that very few gaming headsets in this price range can manage.

The Bengoo G9000 is an affordable gaming headset suitable for those looking for a budget-friendly option from the get-go. Despite its low price, it still packs some impressive features that almost rival high-end devices.

Even though it lacks surround sound, its 40mm sound drivers still deliver great sound across the spectrum.

Also, it is compatible with most of the available gaming platforms. One of its major drawbacks is the lack of clear acoustic sound, which tends to diminish it both as a gaming headset and as a music headphone.
