Audio performance is described as competent and well-suited for gaming, with accurate sound positioning and usable detail. The upgraded mic receives particular attention for clear voice capture. Some limitations are noted: it lacks active noise cancellation, and in Bluetooth mode only the basic SBC codec is supported—so audio fidelity under wireless Bluetooth may be less optimal compared to premium alternatives.

It’s particularly well-suited for streamers and content-creators thanks to its full-spectrum RGB lighting, detachable mic, and stylish design.
