Gamdias HEBE M1
Booming Bass Drops
Whether it’s listening to electronic, heavy metal or even EDM, the Gamdias HEBE M1 has a booming bass drop that just can’t be found in any other pair of headphones. Even when gaming, the M1 gives great audio feedback, allowing you to catch even the faintest hints of your surroundings, making it almost impossible for your enemies to sneak up on you.
Insanely Huge Driver Unit
The M1 comes with a 50mm HD driver unit, providing realistic sound effects with a rich bass. They weren’t lying when they said it was HD; running the M1 through my playlist never sounded so good before. I tested out the M1 for Skyrim and Uncharted 4; the ambience noise is amazing on them. Pristine and crystal clear, you can pick up birds chirping from afar while still being totally focused on the mission.
Too Damn Huge
One thing I thoroughly dislike about the M1 is its size. Although It does perform well on a day-to-day basis, its far too heavy to have on one’s head for long hours, especially if you’re a hardcore gamer like me. Not even after an hour I could feel the pressure around my ears as well as my head due to its sheer weight and size.
USB Connected
Unlike most headphones, the M1 is USB connected rather than the usual audio jack so be sure your device has enough USB ports to accommodate your peripherals.
Smart Remote
The M1 comes with an in-line smart remote that can control the volume, microphone, vibration and even illumination on its earcups.
Noise-Cancelling Microphone
Hidden in the left earcup, the in-line microphone is equipped with noise-cancelling so you can use the M1 for calls without having to worry about any disruption.
