Marvo Scorpion H8321P Stereo Sound Gaming Headset Review
Marvo Scorpion H8 3 2 1 P Stereo Gaming Headset Review
The Marvo Scorpion H8 3 2 1 P stereo gaming headset has a 40 millimeter driver and comes with a comfortable thick rotatable mic. Unfortunately, there's no way to see the physical product on the front of the box due to its design, which is a shame as it makes it difficult to gauge the actual product without relying solely on pictures. The side of the box tells you that it has stereo sound, 30 millimeter drivers, deep bass, volume control, and a flexible mic.
On the other side of the box, there's more information about the headset, including its wired design, comfortable ear cups, telescopic headband, and rotatable microphone. The branding is also prominently displayed on top of the headset, along with another picture for added visual appeal. The back of the box provides even more details, such as the material used for the jumpsuits that come with the headset.
When we take a closer look at the product itself, it comes in two three and a half mil jumpsuits, which are somewhat unnecessary considering their minimal functionality. There's also a little plastic cover on top that seems to serve no purpose. One thing that is notable is the lack of volume control on the cable, as it's not braided and instead has rubberized connections that connect directly into the headset. The headset itself is dual extendable, which provides some flexibility but does make it feel a bit flimsy.
The ear cups are quite soft, but they do tend to press in slightly towards the bottom of the ears due to the band's design. This can be uncomfortable for some users, as everyone's head shape and size is different. Despite this, the headset does fit comfortably onto larger heads. The volume control on the side is adjustable, allowing users to customize their audio experience.
The mic on the Scorpion H8 3 2 1 P is rotatable, which means it can be adjusted to suit individual preferences. However, there's no muffler or detachable component attached to the mic. Another notable feature that's missing from this headset is RGB lighting, which has become a standard feature in many gaming headsets.
As for sound quality, we conducted an informal test using our studio mic and webcam. When we switched back to the Scorpion H8 3 2 1 P microphone on the headset, we could hear a noticeable difference in audio quality compared to our regular mic. While it's not exceptional by any means, the sound is still clear and audible, albeit with some slight tininess.
One thing that became apparent during testing was how challenging it can be to hear certain sounds, particularly whispers or soft murmurs. The headset did manage to pick up these sounds fairly well, but they were sometimes difficult to distinguish from ambient noise. Overall, the sound quality on this headset is decent but not outstanding, making it a solid choice for those on a budget.
The headset's price point of £99 is relatively competitive in the market, especially considering its sound quality and features. However, when you compare it to more premium headsets that offer superior sound quality and additional features like RGB lighting, it becomes clear that this option may not be the best value for money.
In terms of comfort, some users may find the headset's design to be less than ideal due to the pressure on their ears. The soft ear cups are a nice touch, but they can't fully compensate for the discomfort caused by the band's grip. As mentioned earlier, everyone's head shape and size is different, so it's possible that some users will find this headset more comfortable than others.
The build quality of the Scorpion H8 3 2 1 P is somewhat lacking, particularly around the point where the cable connects to the headset. This area seems prone to wear and tear, which could lead to a reduction in the headset's overall lifespan. When combined with the flimsy feel of the headset itself, this can make it seem like the Scorpion H8 3 2 1 P is not built to last.
Overall, the Marvo Scorpion H8 3 2 1 P stereo gaming headset is an okay product that offers decent sound quality and features at a relatively affordable price. However, its comfort and build quality are somewhat lacking, which may make it less appealing to some users.
