Design & Build

When you look at the headset for the first time you will feel a gamery vibe, however, this is a plastic build but doesn’t feel cheap as the band is sturdy and has been filled with lots of cushions. I didn’t notice much flex and is very light, weighing only 260 grams, making it one of the best to use for long hours.

Adjusting the earcups according to your height isn’t a problem at all and the switches along with a volume wheel which is really handy at times. From having a dedicated switch to mute your voice to having a lot of cables to connect to various devices, Cosmic Byte won’t give up even if it offers this gaming headset at an affordable price point.

The branding on the headband which is wrapped around foam on the rear and plenty of cushioning on the inner side just makes it look beautiful and of course, is a joy to use while gaming or listening to casual music. In terms of build quality, I am surprised by the price, Cosmic Byte is really providing a premium vibe which even brands like Logitech or HyperX don’t provide for the price.

The overall quality and build are pretty durable and for an average gamer it should last a lot of years if used properly, personally, I am not a fan of metal-plated gaming headsets as they are pretty heavy and this design & build makes more sense. The RGB lighting adds to the glory and syncs with the vibe to provide the best gaming experience which again for the price is really appreciable.

Audio Quality

The key highlight during the launch had to be the audio of this gaming headset as it promises features like 7.1 Surround Sound and Dolby Atmos which wasn’t there in this price range previously. Now, how does it perform? Well, surprisingly, Cosmic Byte’s attempt to provide the best audio experience will not let down you at all.

When I used it for my everyday use, I felt the sound to be adequate for YouTube sessions or binge-watching because of the big 50mm dynamic drivers. The voice and wordings while video sessions were very accurate and clear, even while gaming the footsteps of opponents can be heard easily, the volume wheel does help to adjust the loudness in real-time which is a real help.

The noise cancelling earcups does eliminate the background noise to some extent and then start playing music or gaming, the ultimate sound quality is excellent. You can hardly get distracted by the noise outside unless it’s really loud but I didn’t find the Dolby Atmos feature too exaggerating overall, the sound was pretty good.

However, it lacks bass unless you go real loud as it focussed more on gaming, but the audio experience as a whole for the price is quite good. The ease of connecting to any device like PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox, Mobiles and Tablets makes this an ideal gaming headphone which can be used for multiple purposes. Cosmic Byte has provided has really useful headphones in the form of Equinox Neutrino and the audio quality is decent for the price.

Microphone

Coming to the microphone of this headset, to make the experience even better Cosmic Byte has provided an ENC Detachable Microphone for the best recording and streaming quality. Obviously, it’s not the best noise-cancelling microphone but swivel the mic or just adjust it via its adjustable arm, this makes it easy to use while gaming.

In terms of volume, the players on your opponent can easily hear you without any issues and to be fair the microphone quality is quite good for the price. Also, suppose you want to clean this Cosmic Byte Equinox Neutrino Gaming headset it’s easy to do so because every cable and microphone can be detached and again attached as per your usage.

Comfort and Software

Talking about comfort, yes, this is one of the most comfortable gaming headphones I’ve ever tried out because as you see the earcups are really fluffy as the deep cushioning plunges your ears inside the headset easily. I have used the headphone to watch movies, and intense gaming for hours and never found any sort of discomfort.

I am in real love with the comfort of this new Cosmic Byte Equinox Neutrino gaming headset and would easily recommend it just for its comfort.

I really found the drivers of this Cosmic Byte Equinox Neutrino Gaming headphone easy to use, you can find them here, it’s helpful to tune various audio profiles including Stereo Sound or even 7.1 Surround Sound which is preferred during gaming. You can even turn on and off the ENC of your mic via this software and having a dedicated one does really help.

Also, the headphone is really easy to connect to any device and start gaming because whether you use the Type-C port to connect to a phone or laptop or use the USB cable, which again makes this a long cable, the experience is really smooth.

Verdict

Now, should you really go for this budget Cosmic Byte Equinox Neutrino gaming headset? Well, it completely depends on your use case and budget, however, for being priced at Rs.4.5k, this is a very well-balanced gaming headset with a wired connection. Now, if you don’t like wired ones, you can go for its brother Kronos Wireless which costs R.2k more.

It’s really tough to find any flaws for the price but yes, the audio could have been better but for an average user, it’s more than enough I would say. The Equinox Neutrino gaming headset is a comfortable everyday usable headphone which doesn’t cost much, looks fancy, feels premium and is solid enough to last you for years down the line.
