ONIKUMA K5 Game Headset Review

We know game products cost more than other gadgets. It’s because of their muscular appearance and more powerful performance. But there are rare cases when quality meets low price tags. In all those cases, you have to make your decision of purchasing very quickly. This is also true for the game headset we are going to review. The ONIKUMA K5 is currently sold like a hotcake due to its low price tag of around $25. But what’s more amazing, it provides a sound performance like it costs a fortune. For game headsets, you should pay attention not only to the appearance but also on the audio and mic quality. This model can boast of impeccable performance for both of them. Also, this can be a great offer if you are tight on budget.

ONIKUMA K5 Design

The ONIKUMA K5 looks like an ordinary game headset. We mean it has a good combination of different colors (silver and black or blue and black). They breathe life into the design. Though it is priced too low than its competitors, the appearance provides a feeling as we are dealing with a game headphone from a top echelon. Honestly, it stands out due to its rugged construction. On both over-ear ear pads and headband, there is a synthetic soft and comfortable leather padding.

We know, many don’t like leather earpads on cheap products because most of them become a sweaty mess. So many customers prefer a mesh fabric. But this is not the case. The ONIKUMA K5 comes with a quality leather that won’t ravel even after long usage. At the same time, the headband is adjustable which adds to the ONIKUMA K5’s comfort.

The mic and the headset are fixed on the left ear cup. As usual, the mic switch and volume control are held on a knob along the knitted audio string. It has a cable of 2.2m long. In the end, it carries a four-pole 3.5mm plug as well as a USB plug to cover all the devices it will connect. As you guess, the USB plug is for the LED light effect.

Inside the box of the ONIKUMA K5, we can find an extension cable that splits into two three-pole 3.5mm plugs. They can be used with computers and laptops with separate headphone and microphone inputs.

ONIKUMA K5 Performance

The game headsets are made to provide an excellent sound experience. It’s required not only to immerse into the game fully but also hear every voice and detect enemy’s position. The ONIKUMA K5, in addition to this, also provides an amazing 7.1 surround music performance. It handles bass tests quite well, without a hint of sound distortion even at maximum volumes. Unlike many low-end and mid-range game headsets, this one dives too deep into the sub-bass realm and it does a good job in reproducing the kick drum and bass synth.

Of course, we haven’t been expecting a subtle music performance here. But due to the high precision 50mm drivers, the ONIKUMA K5 does an excellent job at delivering a crisp sound with better volume ranges. This model is also well-balanced. So you will notice both ear pads provide an identical sound volume. This also means you won’t have to add volume when one ear cup is off.

However, the mic isn’t very impressive. But when we recall its price range, it’s still acceptable. It looks good, flexible and well-positioned. Unfortunately, it doesn’t provide a noise reduction function. Of course, it picks a user’s voice. But we think the idea behind a boom mic is that it should be interference free. Therefore, if you are using it in a quiet environment, it works perfectly fine.

ONIKUMA K5 Gaming Experience

When testing the ONIKUMA K5 on the PS4, and the top-of-the-class sub-bass lows give the varied guns plenty of punch. So it won’t let you fully appear on the virtuality you want and your ears won’t deafen of sneaky gunshots and explosions. Instead, you’ll definitely be aware of them. Moreover, you will hear the personages’ voice cues and barked orders are clearly picked.

Of course, the ONIKUMA K5 performs perfectly in single player games. The output is really impressive. The background music and various sound effects come out clearly. Even at maximum volume, the headset produces immersive sound for your escapades.

Wrap Up

Generally, we can state the ONIKUMA K5 is an affordable wired game headphone, which is capable of providing an acceptable gaming and mic performance. On one hand, we are dealing with a budget headset. But on the other hand, it looks quite stylish and offers a satisfying sound and mic performance. It would be naïve to think of it as a top-notch model. But when considering it as a mid-range game headset with corresponding appearance and features, it won’t have equals.
