Unboxing the Armaggeddon Ironsight Nuke 7 budget gaming headphones

It was time to get another budget headphones to replace my old Logitech headphones. While scrolling through the internet, I came across these budget gaming headphones from Armaggeddon - the Ironsight Nuke 7 2019 Edition 7.1 surround sound gaming headset. 

The main reason I bought the headphones was because I had good a experience in the past with their Molotov-5 headset. That pair of headsets lasted me a long time. 

I bought them from the All IT Hypermarket for only RM89 + RM6.50 (delivery charge). A real deal.

The headphones have 7-colour lighting with pulsating EFX. The colours change automatically. They connect to my PC or laptop via USB. 

 

The earpads are comfortable and cover my ears completely. As for the sound, I can't complain. The bass is good and clear. I watched several movies and it was fine. Though it looks big, it is not heavy (258g). 

The cables (2.2 m long) are durable kevlar reinforced which means that they will last longer. I have realised that the first things to go on headphones are normally the cables and the earpads. 

I will review these headphones again in the future to let you know how they performed in the long run. 

Here are the specifications: 

Drivers: 50mm, with Neodymium magnets.

Frequency range 20 - 20Khz

Impedance 32Ω ± 5Ω

Sensitivity 112 dB ± 3 dB

Mic impedance <2.2KΩ

Mic Sensitivity - 43 ± 3db

Mic Frequency range 20 - 16KHz

Directivity Omnidirectional

Review of the HP Gaming Headset H360G

 

This is my new budget gaming headset from HP - the H360G.

It is made in China and costs only RM59 on Lazada Malaysia.

I was a bit worried about the quality but was pleasantly surprised. It is light and comfortable and fits over my ears fully. The sound quality is not bad as well.  The headset also has volume control. The headsets connect to my PC or laptop via a USB2.0 port. 

I am not a big fan of RGB lights but the blue LEDs are cool, even more so when the lights are off.

The only negative is that the cables are not removable however, the nylon braided cables look stronger than other headsets I have bought in the past including my old Edifer headsets. 

Great value for money headsets - definitely recommended.

Armaggeddon Molotov-5 mobile gaming headset reviewed

Updated: 12/05/2017

Singapore based gaming gadget brand Armaggeddon recently launched the Molotov-5 headset. I was delighted to get the opportunity to review a set. See my unboxing post here.

I have been trying it out for a couple of days now and I have I have to say, I am quite impressed.

This headset is compatible with both Android and iPhones and has been clearly designed with the mobile gamer in mind - with strong durable braided nylon cables (1.5m long) protecting the inner wires. The cables are among the most vulnerable parts of a headsets/ earphones and it feels like they have done a great job with the Molotov-5. The headphones can be folded up as well making it easy to carry in your jacket pocket when not in use.

Regarding the audio quality, the Molotov-5 delivers great audio performance with rich bass, surprisingly generated by only 2 40mm audio drivers (Frequency response: 20Hz to 20KHz, Impedence: 320, Sensitivity: 103+- 3Db). It was a bit worried that they would project sound outwards (a problem with the Logitech headphones I normally use) but according to my wife, they were OK.

As for comfort, the headphones are not that chunky and quite light. They don’t clamp down too hard on my ears, unlike a few other affordable headsets I have tried so far. The earpads are comfortable and provide good soundproofing. I was surprised that the headphones did a better job of keeping out external noise as compared to my old Sennheiser HD 558 headphones which covers my ears completely.

I love the fact that it comes with an in-line microphone (Frequency response-75Hz-20KHz, Sensitivity:-42+-4dB) with push-to-talk button and not sticking out in front of your face.

Also included with the headsets is an audio splitter so that I can use them with my PC and laptop. It is perfect for my Smule and Skype video conferencing sessions - not necessarily what the guys at Armaggeddon had in mind when they designed the headset. I did not have to raise my voice and could talk normally and according to people I talked to, my voice was clear with no distortions.

The Molotov-5 comes in three different striking colour variations with exciting names - Scarlet Soviets (Red, Alpine Allies (Blue) and Armaggeddon (Yellow). I got the yellow one which is not necessarily my favourite colour and does attract a bit of attention because it stands out from far.

What would I have liked different - not much actually apart from maybe a volume knob, removable cables and maybe bluetooth. Yeah! maybe I am a bit too demanding

I have to admit, I have come to really like the Molotov-5 headset and would recommend it for all audiophiles on the go (not just gamers). It retails for only RM 69.90  on Lazada RM99.90 , which is amazing value for the price. One of the best-sounding headphones in its price range.

What is in the bag?

I was surprised when I also received a hoodie with my own name on it as well. 

This is the one in the Armaggeddon flag colours - Yellow

I would like to thank the guys at Armaggeddon for giving me a chance to review the new gaming headset. Watch out for a review of the headset soon.
