The Fifine H6 is an excellent budget choice. If your friend doesn’t have a gaming headset, the H6 will not only provide a great experience but also serve as a gift that will last them for many years! Technically, the Fifine H6 does not amaze the imagination, but it delivers excellent results in its price category. 

The main feature is the high build quality and materials. The wide range of adjustment options ensures comfort during wear, regardless of the shape and size of the head, and the set of ear cushions of different diameters allows not only adjusting the ear coverage but also the fit of the device.

High-quality gaming headphones with lighting and soft ear cushions. Their multi-channel speakers with immersive sound can be classified as professional models in terms of functionality and quality, despite their relatively budget-friendly price.

The lighting reacts to sound, allowing you to customize it to your preferences and look good both in videos and live streams. The headphone construction has memory properties, ensuring a comfortable fit on the user’s head. The microphone is unidirectional but has adjustable volume. However, note that high sensitivity requires additional adjustment in third-party programs.

The DT 900 Pro X represents the luxury segment for gamers. You might wonder about their suitability for gaming since the headset is studio-oriented and primarily used for sound engineering. The answer is simple—they are not for everyone. The full advantages of these headphones can be felt in Escape from Tarkov. In such games, Beyerdynamic becomes a legal cheat—besides the most precise sound positioning, over time, you will learn to distinguish the exact distance of gunshots and determine the modification of the opponent’s weapon by the sounds of reloading. 

If you consider other games, you should immediately understand that they won’t reveal all the model’s advantages, but they will provide an extremely pleasant and comfortable experience.
