Score: 71/100Rankings
The PDP Gaming LVL40 Airlite is a lightweight, wired headset featuring 40 mm drivers and a flip-to-mute noise-cancelling microphone, providing solid stereo sound for Nintendo Switch and other devices. Its lack of active noise cancellation and surround sound, along with an on-ear design that can cause fatigue, limit its appeal for longer sessions. Ideal for budget-friendly Switch gamers needing a simple, portable solution.
The Tatybo XW1 is a wireless headset featuring 50 mm drivers, virtual 7.1 surround and a 30-hour battery. It lacks active noise cancellation and detailed Bluetooth specs. Suited for budget-conscious gamers who need multi-device flexibility.

Professional reviewers view the LVL40 Airlite as a solid, budget-friendly option that fulfills the basic needs of Switch gamers with decent stereo sound and a clear mic, but they note its audio lacks the refinement of more expensive models and it misses premium features like ANC and surround sound.
Everyday users generally like the headset's light weight and comfort, as well as its mic clarity for multiplayer chat, but they commonly criticize the basic audio performance and the on-ear design's potential for ear fatigue.
“"comfort from over/on-ear cushions and mic clarity for competitive play, but sound is basic-not comparable to $100+ headsets-and mic feels distant"”
