Cooler Master MH670 Wireless Gaming Headset Review

A Closer Look

The MH670 comes bundled with a USB dongle that offers up the 2.4Ghz wireless connectivity. Furthermore, it auto-pairs with the headset when plugged in and you turn the headset on. It’s plug-and-play on Windows too, so no drivers are required, but they are needed for customisation of the sound profile and updates.

The dongle also comes with this handy adaptor for USB Type-C connectivity, ensuring you can be connected wirelessly to a compatible Android device or even the Nintendo Switch. PlayStation, Xbox, etc, will need to fall back to the 3.5mm cable though.

The microphone is fully detachable, which I love because I barely ever use one on my PC. Just remember where you put it, as you don’t want to lose it then find out you need it for a meeting on Skype… which I totally never do, honest.

The headset its self looks fantastic if a little familiar. If you read my reviews of the MH630 and the MH650, you’ll notice that this one looks just like its brothers. I love that though, the whole range looks just as good as the rest. It’s like having a car that looks the same, but different engine types. The ergonomics are fantastic too, with fully folding ear cups, allowing for a comfortable fit around your ears, and also around your neck between uses.

Despite being equipped with built-in batteries and wireless tech, I don’t think they feel that much heavier than their wired counterparts. A little thicker perhaps, but honestly, they feel about the same once you’ve got them on your head.

Obviously, being a wireless headset, you’re going to need a few extra controls while you’re gaming. On the sides of the ear cups, you’ll find a nice little collection though. On one side, the power and surround sound control buttons on either side of the USB charging port. However, while they’re spread out, they do look and feel similar, so you do have to learn which one is where. On the other side, a volume wheel, microphone mute button, and the jacks for the 3.5mm cable and microphone.

The interior of the headband features a dual metal strip design with a rubber centrepiece. This means that it is very strong and reliable. However, you’ll be able to twist the bloody heck out of it too without cause for concern. There’s a good range of adjustment here tho, allowing for a comfortable fit for younger gamers as well as adults.

The biggest improvement to the quality, albeit it’s more subjective than it is premium, is the use of PU leather. The other two models used a more breathable fabric. However, the headband is still padded with the same soft memory foam.

The ear cups are still super comfortable, but the leather finish means they lock in the sound a lot more, and block a lot more ambient noise. It’s a personal preference thing, but I do prefer the fit of leather ear padding on my headsets.
