Video games have gotten so much better in the past few years. The audio and visual quality is excellent now, and you need specialized hardware to get the best experience. Especially if you’re a dedicated gamer, then you know how important it is to squeeze the most out of the audio and visual content from a well-designed, awesome video game. So today we’ve brought you the CIYCE Evolution, a newly released, dedicated gaming headphone to help you get the best out of your gaming experience.
First, let’s start with the design and built. You purchase an audio product for good sound quality, however, good design and well-built piece of tech enhances your experience wearing it, holding it, or just simply looking at it.
With this headphone, I wasn’t expecting such decent built quality for this price range. The construction is very good, it’s sturdy and solid, and the headband is made with solid metal, is also very firm. The look is also obviously designed with great effort, these colored-up fox eyes shining in a dim room looks actually very cool. And the black look is very balanced, and I honestly liked the way it looks.
And coming to the comfort, a gaming headphone without comfort just ruins everything. If you can’t wear it for a long time comfortably then you won’t be enjoying your game to the full extent. Luckily, this pair comes with a pair of really soft and comfortable ear pads along with a very soft headband, allowing it to comfortably sit on my head. Also, it’s really light, I have no problem wearing it for hours after hours and I can still enjoy having them on my ears.
It comes with two different ear pads made with different materials, they are very easy to replace and both feel very different and unique, I’m pretty sure that at least one out of them is going to be my favorite for long-term use.
CIYCE Evolution 3 in 1 Gaming Headset: Features
Before I get into the sound quality, there are a few features that you need to know for good gaming, first one is connectivity. This headphone comes with three different types of connection — Audio cable, Bluetooth and wireless dongle.
Audio cable and Bluetooth connection are very common, however, cables are not very convenient and Bluetooth usually features a really annoying latency that is not very friendly for gaming. When you want to go both wireless and low latency, that’s when you turn to the wireless dongle. This is the audio dongle that you stick into the computer or phone and you get an extremely low latency and at the same time, you don’t have to worry about the sound quality. The latency can get to as low as 25-30ms (latency test). And so far, my user experience has been wonderful. And there is a software feature to switch between the dongle and the Bluetooth connection just by pressing the specific button, and it can be very convenient.
With these three types of connection, it basically covers every platform that you typically use, including smartphones, tablets, PC, laptops, Nintendo Switch, and also PS5 and Xbox series. And once you have set it up, you don’t have to worry about switching into different audio gears between different platforms. Note that, both android and iOS devices support this headphone.
Gaming headphones very rarely come with active noise canceling, but this headphone has it, along with passive noise blocking. It does an excellent job giving you a very quiet and still listening environment. The reason why they paid so much attention to its noise-reducing capability is because the brand wants to emphasize its sound quality.
CIYCE Evolution 3 in 1 Gaming Headset: Sound Quality
Gaming is now different from the past. Maybe in the past you would think gaming is just about random shooting or killing enemies, but now it is turning into a form of art, especially in the audio field. There’s background music, then there are all kinds of crazy sound effects are going on, and for this reason, we don’t want headphones to only output crisp sound but also keep the audio beautiful and subtle. And going back to this pair, well, I’m very well impressed how they managed to keep such good sound quality for a gaming headphone. It sounds as though the base is very well emphasized, so you can enjoy this impressive base, light yet full of body, deep and well extended. Also, the sound detail is very good, I could hear and differentiate small details very precisely.
And one more thing is stereo imaging. Imaging is how well a headphone delivers a sense of direction. If a headphone has good stereo imaging then you can feel from which direction the sound is coming from and that helps a lot with your gaming. This headphone has a very decent performing imaging capability that gives you a nice immersive experience when gaming. To conclude, the sound is good enough even for some serious music listening, apart from that it also has a pretty nice microphone sound quality.
At the end, I must say this is a decent headphone that you can consider for its extremely low latency with the audio dongle and good sound quality. Moreover, it looks pretty cool as well, and comes at a very low price.
