Compare Cooler Master CH351 Gaming Headset vs EKSA E1000 Gaming Headset

There is no strong case for active noise canceling here; one included review flatly says the headset is not noise-canceling.

Reviewers distinguish the headset from true active noise cancellation, noting that noise reduction is not on the headset itself but related to microphone processing.

Android support is explicitly listed for the CH351, making mobile pairing part of its intended use case.

Android compatibility is supported in one WT review that tested the headset with an Android phone.

Software support is inconsistent in the included reviews, ranging from no companion app at all to optional PC software on another Cooler Master unit.

The WT model has app/software support on PC, with reviewers referencing SoundBase or companion software for sound and mic controls.

Audio-video sync looks strong in the WT evidence, with reviewers citing less-than-30 ms latency and reporting no noticeable lag.

Bass is a recurring strength, delivering weighty explosions and energetic low end without fully burying other cues.

Bass generally helps games feel punchy, with reviewers noting strong low-end response, improved sub-bass, and boomy gaming impact, though one review says premium-level sub-bass is missing.

Battery evidence is mixed: one reviewer got only 7-8 hours, while others reported or cited roughly 30-36 hours depending on lighting and use.

Wireless stability is the CH351's biggest weakness, with persistent static and buzzing reported even during active use.

Bluetooth is not supported on the WT model in the reviewed evidence; reviewers repeatedly say it uses 2.4 GHz wireless instead of Bluetooth.

Material quality looks decent for the money, though not every component feels equally premium.

Build quality ranges from cheap-feeling plastic to sturdy-for-the-price construction; WT reviews tend to be more favorable than some wired E1000 reviews.

Control usability varies sharply, from simple inline buttons on one review unit to a crowded, error-prone earcup layout on the other.

Physical controls are widely covered and mostly practical, including inline wheels, mute switches, onboard volume wheels, and clear button operation.

The CH331's permanently attached fabric-wrapped cable is long, practical for desk use and presented as a solid part of the package.

Cable quality is generally praised for thick, braided, durable, or long cabling, although one review says the wired E1000 cable is too short.

Carry case quality is a small positive, with several reviews mentioning an included pouch, bag, or soft carrying solution.

Charging is straightforward on WT reviews, with USB-C and about 2.5 hours to full charge repeatedly mentioned.

Clamping force is a weakness in the wired E1000 evidence, with reviewers saying pressure lands on the ears and can feel tight.

Long-session comfort is mixed: soft pads help, but weight and head pressure are recurring complaints.

Comfort is highly inconsistent: some reviewers wore it for hours comfortably, but others reported tightness, pressure, hard padding, slipping, or discomfort after longer use.

Connectivity versatility is strong in WT coverage because reviewers mention both wireless and wired use across consoles, computers, and mobile-style devices.

Console limitations center on connection mode: wireless is not universal, with Xbox often requiring 3.5 mm and USB-A or PlayStation/PC support being more limited.

Styling lands well in both reviews, whether you prefer playful colorways or a more subdued black-on-black look.

Design is polarizing: reviewers like the RGB gamer look and visual flair, but some find it cheap, loud, or too obviously gamer-styled.

Cable convenience is mixed across the included reviews, with one headset using a removable aux cable and the other a fixed cord.

Detachable cable convenience depends on version: the wired E1000 is criticized for a fixed cable, while WT coverage praises the detachable 3.5 mm option.

A detachable boom mic adds welcome flexibility for switching between gaming use and a cleaner everyday setup.

The microphone is not detachable on the reviewed units, although reviewers note it can fold, swivel, or tuck away.

The CH351 includes a 2.4GHz USB-C dongle, but the wireless experience is undermined by static noise.

The USB dongle is important to the WT experience, with reviews describing it as supplied, easy to pair, and central to the wireless connection.

The ear pads are a consistent positive, described as soft faux/protein leather and generally comfortable on the ears.

Ear cup padding receives mixed-to-positive coverage, ranging from soft, thick, cushiony pads to cheaper-feeling or non-premium memory foam.

Cup movement is limited overall; the CH331 cups pivot outward but do not offer especially generous articulation.

Earcup swivel and rotation are clear limitations, with several reviewers saying the cups do not rotate, fold, or adjust ergonomically enough.

Earpad replacement ease is lightly supported by one video transcript where the reviewer checks the pads and says they are replaceable.

EQ customization is weak overall, either missing entirely or present but not especially effective.

Equalizer customization is a WT strength on PC, with reviewers noting custom profiles, game/music modes, and tweakable sound settings.

Fit and seal reliability are mixed: some reviewers report a snug seal, while others note gaps, fixed ear angles, or noise entering through poor alignment.

The drivers reproduce both heavy bass and finer ambient details well enough to sound convincing, even if the signature is not neutral.

Frequency response accuracy receives negative evidence from one review that says all ranges sounded weak and indistinct.

The CH331 offers useful headband extension, giving it enough adjustment range for fit tuning.

Headband adjustability is generally positive, with click adjustment, firm fit control, and matching length markers mentioned across reviews.

The CH351 package is well equipped with a dongle, aux cable and detachable microphone.

Included accessories are strongest on WT reviews, which mention cables, dongle, pouch, manuals, and charging gear, while one wired review found extras sparse.

The reviews point to good layer separation, making footsteps, ambience and soundtrack elements easier to distinguish.

Microphone functionality is a core feature across the included reviews, even though the exact implementation differs.

The headset includes an integrated boom microphone, with reviews noting rotation, fold-up movement, or a built-in mic arm depending on model.

Microphone impressions are mixed overall: many reviewers praise clear or good-enough voice pickup, but a few find it scratchy, tinny, low-volume, or only suitable for game chat.

The CH351 mic does a notably good job suppressing nearby household noise in the included test.

Microphone noise reduction is one of the better-supported positives, with many reviews saying ENC or the noise-canceling mic reduced background sound and kept voice clearer.

On the CH351, the detachable mic is clear and loud enough for chat or streaming without sounding thin.

Call and chat quality is mixed: several reviewers found it useful for calls or conferencing, while others warned about Discord friendliness, low volume, or limited clarity.

Midrange detail is solid for the class, with dialogue and vocal texture coming through better than a typical one-note budget tuning.

Midrange feedback is limited and mixed, with one review hearing muddiness in the mids at lower volume while another says the headset emphasizes low and mid frequencies.

The CH351 stands out for broad platform support across consoles, computers and mobile devices.

Multi-platform compatibility is a major selling point across reviews, with PC, PlayStation, Mac, Xbox, Switch, mobile, tablets, and wired/wireless use mentioned.

Passive isolation is limited, with one review explicitly noting that room sounds still bleed through.

Passive isolation varies by fit: some reviewers say it blocks outside sound well, while another says noise isolation leaves something to be desired.

Packaging evidence is limited and modest, with one review describing simple packaging plus a pouch and few extras.

Portability is not a strength, as the included evidence points to a desk-first design rather than a travel-friendly one.

Portability and foldability are weak because at least one reviewer says the headphones do not fold or rotate.

Positional audio is generally good for gaming, with many reviewers hearing footsteps, players, or sound direction clearly, though one review wanted better depth.

Preset tuning is not a standout, with profiles either absent or too similar and bass-skewed to feel useful.

Preset EQ coverage is positive on the WT model, with gaming, music, FPS, movie, MOBA, and genre presets described.

Replaceable earpads are lightly supported by one video review that says the pads are replaceable.

RGB lighting exists on the CH331, but control is minimal and limited to basic on or off behavior rather than real customization.

RGB customization is a recurring limitation: reviewers like the lighting, but many say it is fixed, not programmable, or only on/off.

Basic setup is easy enough, but the overall experience is weakened by limited customization and, on the CH351, awkward controls.

Setup is mostly simple and plug-and-play, but one WT review says PC pairing instructions were incomplete until using troubleshooting steps.

Sound leakage evidence is limited but favorable in one review, which says the snug fit avoids large gaps where sound can escape.

The included reviews consistently praise big, immersive gaming sound, although the CH351's wireless buzzing drags down the overall experience. Both reviews paint wired operation as a strong scenario, with seamless connection and better overall sound performance.

Sound quality is the most divided attribute: some reviews call the E1000 clear, immersive, and good for gaming, while others describe it as muffled, muddy, boxy, or less suited to music.

Wide staging is one of the clearest strengths, helping worlds feel larger and positional cues easier to place.

Soundstage is a recurring positive for gaming, with reviewers describing improved, wide, airy sound that helps create a larger sense of space.

Spatial or virtual surround performance is a real highlight, adding convincing depth and directionality in games.

Spatial audio is a frequent gaming positive, especially when 7.1 or surround mode is enabled, though it is more of a gaming effect than audiophile tuning.

On-head stability is only average, with one review noting that the headset can slide around during movement.

Stability evidence is mixed, from one wired review saying the headset feels unstable to WT/wired reviews praising firm clamp or uninterrupted wireless performance.

Treble detail is good enough to keep smaller environmental sounds audible, including birds, crackling fire and distant effects.

Treble evidence is limited to one review, which says the headset does not reproduce much of the higher frequencies, so treble clarity is not a strength.

USB-C is part of the CH351 setup, appearing in its dongle and port layout.

USB-C is supported for WT charging in multiple reviews and is presented as the charging port or included charging cable.

Value for money is generally positive because reviewers repeatedly frame the headset as inexpensive, budget-friendly, or strong for the price, though not always best-in-class.

Volume output is described as lively and forceful, with enough punch to make games and music sound exciting.

Volume output is mostly strong, with several reviewers saying the headset gets loud or is easy to control, though one PS5 reviewer found the wired model not very loud.

Both reviews call the headset noticeably heavy, which becomes more obvious the longer you wear it.

Weight comfort is positive in WT reviews, which describe the headset as lightweight, comfortable, or well-distributed despite its size.

Wireless latency is a consistent WT strength, with reviewers citing low-latency 2.4 GHz operation and no noticeable delay in use.

Xbox support is not a strength in the included evidence, and one review specifically steers Xbox shoppers toward other models.

Xbox compatibility is possible but limited, with evidence showing wired controller use rather than universal dongle support.
