Compare EKSA E1000 Gaming Headset vs Cooler Master CH351 Gaming Headset

Android compatibility had limited but positive evidence from one reviewer who reported the same good listening experience on Android.

The app/software experience was useful and simple on PC, but one reviewer flagged PC-only access as a limitation.

The CH351-specific review treats the missing companion app as a clear drawback because it prevents customization.

Wireless sync/lag evidence was positive, with reviewers reporting no noticeable latency in their tests.

Bass was often described as punchy, boomy, or strong for explosions, though one review found the low end muddy.

Game effects such as distant chatter, explosions and bangs are described as clear, supporting strong bass-impact performance in gameplay.

Battery life was mixed across WT reviews, ranging from disappointment versus advertised numbers to 30-plus-hour satisfaction.

Wireless connectivity is judged poorly because it did not work as intended and produced distracting static.

Build quality was mixed: some reviews called it sturdy or better than expected, while others emphasized plastic, cheap feel, or durability tradeoffs.

Build quality is praised, with the headset described as high-quality plastic with a soft-touch, premium finish.

Controls were generally easy and useful, especially physical buttons and volume wheels, though one inline controller felt damage-prone.

Controls are criticized as cluttered and unreliable, with buttons sometimes failing to register commands.

Cable feedback was mostly positive for braided feel, length, and durability, though one review wanted a longer cable.

Carry pouches and bags were generally liked for protection, travel, or presentation.

Charging had limited but positive evidence, with the 2.5-hour charge time described as about right.

Clamping comfort was a common caveat, with multiple reviews noting pressure or tightness despite one snug-fit compliment.

Comfort was highly divided: some wore it for hours comfortably, while others reported tightness, hard pads, or fatigue over longer sessions.

Long-session comfort is weak because the reviewer felt pressure on the top of the head after about an hour.

Connectivity versatility was praised on the WT model for combining wireless and wired options across different devices.

Connectivity is mixed: the headset supports multiple connection options, but the reviewer says its strengths work best over aux.

Console limitations centered on cable-only use, lights turning off, or setup confusion on certain devices.

Design opinions were split between praise for RGB/gamer styling and criticism that the look felt cheap, generic, or too gamer-focused.

The design earns praise for fun colorways, especially the macaron teal-and-pink finish.

The fixed cable on the wired E1000 was criticized, while the WT version's detachable 3.5 mm option was praised as more flexible.

The detachable mic is treated as convenient, particularly because it can be removed for easier transport.

Dongle experience was mixed: plug-and-play use was praised, but one PC pairing instruction issue created friction.

Earcup padding drew both praise for softness and comfort and criticism for cheap, hard, or lower-grade materials.

The earcups are a positive comfort point, with protein leather pads described as comfy.

Fixed earcup positioning was a repeated ergonomic complaint in the WT reviews that mentioned it.

EQ customization was praised where available, especially for adjusting game, music, bass, and treble profiles.

Equalizer customization is poor because the reviewer specifically criticizes the lack of a companion app for EQ tweaking.

Fit and seal were mixed, from snug sealing to gaps caused by fixed earcup geometry.

Footstep scaling is a standout because the reviewer could judge which footsteps were closest and farthest away.

Frequency response was mixed, with one review saying it was better than expected and others describing muffled, limited, or less detailed reproduction.

Frequency accuracy is praised through the reviewer’s judgment that the headset produces nearly every sound accurately.

Headband adjustability was praised for clicky, stable adjustment and helpful sizing touches.

Included accessories were mixed: some reviewers liked the extras and cables, while one noted the sparse box contents.

One reviewer found the headset less suited to finer-detail listening than action-heavy gaming.

Integrated microphone hardware was mostly liked for rotation, pliability, flip-up behavior, or focused pickup.

Loud effects are reported clearly, supporting good clarity during louder in-game moments.

Microphone impressions varied widely, but most reviewers found it serviceable or good for chat, with one major negative outlier.

The microphone is praised as working very well in the CH351-specific review.

Microphone noise reduction was generally praised, with reviewers reporting good background filtering and cleaner voice pickup.

Microphone noise rejection is a strength because nearby background noise was not picked up.

Call and chat mic quality ranged from very good to tinny or low-volume, but most reviewers considered it usable for gaming or calls.

Call or voice capture quality is strong, with the microphone described as loud and clear.

Midrange clarity drew criticism where reviewers heard muddiness, weak ranges, or indistinct reproduction.

Midrange dialogue clarity is praised because dialogue avoids the hollow or echoing character the reviewer dislikes elsewhere.

Multi-platform support was broadly praised, with caveats around wireless support depending on platform.

Passive isolation was split: some reviewers felt external noise was reduced well, while others found sealing and isolation lacking.

Packaging evidence was limited but positive, with the pouch presentation described as nice.

Portability/foldability was a weakness where discussed, since reviewers noted the headset does not fold or rotate flat.

Positional audio was often strong for footsteps and enemy location, though one written review wanted better directional depth.

Positional audio is excellent because the reviewer could judge footstep distance and direction while playing.

Preset EQ profiles received positive but limited evidence, with reviewers preferring FPS or finding preset tests surprisingly good.

Preset EQ support is poor because the reviewer complains that the CH351 lacks Music, Movie or Game mode-style presets.

RGB lighting was visually liked by several reviewers, but customization was a recurring limitation, especially fixed colors or no off switch on wired units.

Setup was usually praised as plug-and-play or easy, though one WT review noted incomplete pairing instructions.

Software support is weak because there is no app for customization.

Sound leakage evidence was limited but positive, with one reviewer noting few gaps for sound to escape.

Reviewers usually found the headset enjoyable for gaming at the price, with strong praise from several tests, but a few criticized muffled or boxy playback.

Core sound quality is praised, especially because games still sound great even without spatial audio enabled.

Soundstage was a recurring strength, with reviewers calling it wider, improved, or airy for gaming use.

Soundstage is a strength, with the reviewer crediting its width for accurate sound reproduction.

Surround/spatial audio was one of the strongest areas, with reviewers describing immersive, dimensional, or out-of-head gaming effects.

Spatial audio is one of the clearest strengths and is described as making games sound fantastic.

Stability evidence split between head slippage on the wired model and strong wireless stability with no cutouts on WT.

Treble/high-frequency detail was limited in the reviews that discussed it, with comments about missing highs or no crisp top end.

USB-C evidence was limited but positive in one WT unboxing comment about the included charging cable.

Value was generally positive because reviewers saw useful gaming performance for a low price, though weak sound or comfort reduced value in some reviews.

Value is undermined because the reviewer still found it hard to recommend despite the low price.

Volume impressions varied: some reviewers found it loud enough or very loud, while one PS5 test thought it was not especially loud.

Volume output is strong for gameplay cues, with footsteps described as loud and clear.

Weight comfort was generally positive for the WT, with comments about lightness or even weight distribution, though one review noted a heavier feel.

Weight comfort is weak because the headset is described as being on the heavy side.

Wireless latency was consistently praised in WT reviews, with no noticeable lag or hiccups reported.

Xbox compatibility was limited by the need to use the 3.5 mm cable rather than the wireless dongle.
