Coupon PLUS10XM brings it down to $44. Maybe can also use AFTERPAY10.
Seems like a good price. Don't really need them but after breaking some headphones a little while ago thought it might be a good idea to keep a cheap headset on standby so I don't need to rush out and buy some if I break my current pair.
The V2 comes with a USB sound card, right? Whereas this is the cheaper V2 X. Wish the V2 were as proportionally discounted as this deal.
Correct, they are different
Does it work with any USB sound card? e.g. I have one from a previous set of headphones.
I think so. I got $4 crappy one from ebay and it works okay.
By USB sound card, do you just mean one that plugs into USB and gives 3.5mm outputs?
Any links or recommendations on a "value" USB sound card that should work?
I'm currently using https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/123815094185?hash=item1cd3f467a9…. But wouldn't recommend it. It's nearly breaking apart cuz the cord was heavy imo. Maybe give a try to small Chinese brands like ugreen bla bla. They double the price but probably double the durability as well.
I think your onboard is just bad.
Brilliant headphones, make sure to connect it via USB to be able to use the 7.1 surround sound which is actually fantastic!
Although people have said the extension cable is also faulty and causes sound issues/no sound unfortunately this was the case for me but I was able to use the extension cable from my old krakens which worked a dream so just be wary
Otherwise incredible headphones bought this as a backup pair
What's the microphone quality on these like?
Incredible, randomfrankp did a review on these headphones and has a mic test in the video and it's mind blowing how clear it is for budget headphones
Have you got any experience using these without the usb extension cable? I would actually prefer not to use a USB extension or dongle if possible. I have the Hyper X Cloud II ?? and the USB part is pretty annoying.
No sorry mate, wanted to use the 7.1 virtual surround sound which is only usable via the USB cable extension so haven't used it via 3.5mm jacks
Is this good for listening to baby shark
Have Turtle Beach Recon X50. Is this that much better its worth upgrading? Also is the mic removable?
Not sure about the first half of your question but can say that the mic is not removable
If 3d audio only works with USB then are these worth it for XBOx/PS5 ?
I was thinking the same thing. If I could get 7.1 Surround on the xbox I'd pull the triger
Amazon has V2 for $104. Anyone can justify if the USB Sound Card worth extra $60?
Thanks OP, bought two pairs for Christmas presents for my kids so I can get my Arctis headphones back from them!
Does this headphone come with USB input/connector?
Just got mine today. No it does not.

Excellent headset. Especially, the sound quality is best for the price. If you are buying one make sure to get USB sound card as it doesn't work properly with default ports. Been using it for 10 months no regrets.
