The headphones are satisfactory in terms of sound quality and comfort, but the microphone is completely non-functional for my needs.
Pros:
Sound Quality and Comfort:
The headphones deliver satisfactory sound quality and are comfortable for extended use.
Build Quality:
The cable is 1.5 meters long, braided, and of high quality, which ensures durability. Mic is also attachable.
Value for Money:
For €20, they offer good performance (excluding the microphone), making them a budget-friendly option.
TRRS Connector with Splitter:
Comes with a TRRS jack for versatility, and the included splitter makes it easy to use with PCs.
I paid €20 for these, so they’re decent for the price if you don’t need the microphone.

Cons:
Microphone Issues:
The microphone has severe cross-talk issues, picking up system audio even at low volumes.
Unusable Microphone Performance:
At low-level volume (60) or without 10dB boost at low volume, the mic is almost non-functional, and with it, it captures all surrounding noise, making it impractical.
Noisy Background Pickup:
Even when the headphones are the sole audio source, the mic transmits all computer sounds to the other party.
Limited Solutions for Cross-Talk:
Users are forced to mute the mic or background audio or resort to an external microphone to avoid the issue.
Conclusion:
These headphones are a solid choice for sound quality and comfort at a low price, but the microphone performance is a significant drawback. If you don’t need a functional mic (long sessions, gaming) , they’re a good budget option.
