The black and orange tinted colour scheme is very cool (also available in a pastel pink and white), and the three large foam pads on the headband are nice and soft. This is a great looking – and more importantly very comfortable – set. The A2’s design I think out performs its price tag.
Hardly a deal breaker, but those who’ve seen my other reviews will know I’m a sucker for this feature. Instead we need to rely on the Xbox guide Audio options to do so. My only other nit-pick here is that there is no in-built balancing of voice and game audio. The arm is flexible but it never felt quite right, either close enough to get knocked by a cup as I had a drink, or too far out of the way that I felt like I needed to raise my voice, even though again the mic rarely failed to pick it up. It isn’t detachable, and the only issue I had with it is that I couldn’t quite get it to sit where I wanted it to. Muting is a simple as swinging the arm up until it clicks into place. The tell-tale hum of a chest or XP coin was easy to detect, and again it was only really in a heated battle that some elements became a little fuzzy, though never to the extreme that it affected the gameplay too much.Ĭhatting with friends worked well too, with the built-in mic providing great clarity and pick up. Resorting to my go to Battle Royal, Fortnite, I was still able to hear other players around me, or distant gunfire alerting me to battles going on ahead of me. The maximum volume is incredibly high too – make sure the rocker is dialled down before you turn the game on! As I mentioned, those who really know their audio will detect a slightly ‘muddier’ feel when there is a lot going on (a lot of gunfire, explosions and shouting, for example will muffle some elements) but across the handful of games I tried this was rarely an issue for long. The audio is excellent, from the booming bass to the higher frequencies coming across clearly. I’ve been using this in place of my usual pair this week and despite being a fraction of the price I’ve more often than not hardly noticed the change. While the A2 might not match the big boys in terms of features or sheer body to its sound, it still manages to do an incredibly solid job.
I’m fairly lucky when it comes to headphones and have had chance to try out sets from across the price spectrum. The Sades A2 are a superb set for just £25.99, and offer easy to use volume control, great comfort and most importantly excellent sound and mic work. Sades are back with another solid headset that won’t break the bank.
