Cooler Master MH630 Gaming Headset Review

How Much Does it Cost?

The Cooler Master MH630 is available now with an MSRP of around $49.99/£49.99, but most likely slightly under that. That’s insanely good value for money given the build quality and performance. If Cooler Master added 50% on to that price, I think they’d still be reasonable, but I hope they don’t, obviously.

Overview

This is by far one of the best headsets we’ll see this year, I’m pretty damn confident of that. At this price range, the MH630 are going to be really hard to beat, and they have a design and build quality worthy of a much more expensive headset. Despite being the bottom of the new range, they simply don’t feel like the entry-level set.

Build Quality

The extra flex in the headband so they don’t break is fantastic, plus I think they’ve made some good choices with all the materials and finishes overall. There are so many premium features here, such as the metal reinforcement, the ultra-soft memory foam padding, the pivot and tilting ear cup mounts, the detachable microphone, and the braided detachable cables. This is one very well put together headset, and Cooler Master should be proud.

Performance

For the base model, it only offers stereo sound, but it’s pretty impressive in my opinion. There’s plenty of volume punch when you need it, and while they may not studio accurate, it has that “wow” factor that puts a smile on your face, just a nice big sound for movies, music and gaming.

Should I Buy One?

You’ll struggle to find a better looking and sounding headset at this price range, it’s as competitive as they come. Detachable cables, a detachable microphone, and support for consoles, mobile and PC? What’s not to love! If this is the base model of the new range, I can’t wait to test the surround and wireless models.

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
