  • We're reviewing the Perixx AX-3000 Gaming Headset. It's a very simple headset, but does

  • the budget price affect the performance? Let's find out in this review.

  • The Perixx headset is simple in its design. There's no extra parts to lose, attach, or

  • manipulate. It features a built in microphone that rotates in almost any direction. The

  • headband is adjustable and the earpads are a leather imitation. The cable is braided

  • and 6ft long with a gold plated USB interface. I always value USB headset because you don't

  • need a strong sound card to run them. The headset also has a convenient volume and microphone

  • enable or disable switch which is always a necessity.

  • This audio is from the microphone on the headset. It gets the job done for voice communication

  • or skype sessions, but if you are looking to create voice overs for gaming commentary

  • you'll of course need a professional condenser microphone.

  • The Perixx headset comes in at a budget price of $29.99 which is about $40 lower than premium

  • wired headsets. In comparison the sound quality is fair. It's got a lot of bass, but it lacks

  • clarity compared to premium headsets. Also the comfort level is just kind of average

  • to me. I can't picture keeping it on for an extended gaming session. I also wish that

  • the microphone was detachable if you don't need it or just want to temporarily remove

  • it.

  • However I always judge price vs performance and I would say that the AX-3000 does deliver

  • a simple solution for someone who just wants to get the job done. The AX-3000 can work

  • well in a value gaming setup or even with a laptop for portable use.
