Senzer SG500
Score: 77/100
Gtheos Wireless Gaming Headset
Score: 77/100Rankings
The Senzer SG500 offers 50 mm drivers, high sensitivity, virtual surround sound, and a passive noise-cancelling microphone in a lightweight, foldable package. However, its out-of-the-box sound is flat and may require EQ tweaks, and it lacks active noise cancellation and wireless connectivity. It fits budget-conscious gamers who value comfort and feature set over premium audio fidelity.
The Gtheos Captain 300 provides 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth 5.2 wireless options with ultra-low latency and 35-40 hours of battery life, targeting competitive multi-platform gamers. Limitations are the non-functional mic on Switch and lack of wireless support for Xbox Series. Suited for players needing fast response across many platforms.

Products in the top-left offer the best value (high score, low price).
Professional reviewers appreciate the SG500's clear, noise-filtered microphone, comfortable foam ear cups, and solid plug-and-play connectivity, but they criticize the need for extensive EQ or DAC tweaks to achieve decent sound and note the average-grade plastic construction and absence of active noise cancellation.
Everyday users love the headset's lightweight comfort, easy compatibility and foldable design, while repeatedly complaining about the flat default audio that requires tweaking, the cheap-looking plastic build, and occasional compatibility quirks on older consoles.
“shouldn't have taken this much setup.”
“plug-and-play powered via 3.5mm.”
“good mic performance with low background noise pickup.”
