Verdict

I am pretty amazed by the packaging of the Edifier Gammatera G2 headphone. The box is quite large with a rather abstract yet very stylish design of the box that really caught my eyes. Although the headset is made up mostly of plastic materials, the built quality of the Edifier G2 headphones is not compromised. The headphone still feel pretty solid considering it is very light at only 0.278kg. The design of the Edifier G2 headphone is simple but somewhat aggressive maybe due to the red and matte black colour combination of the headset that I received. The red perforated grill was a good addition to the aesthetic of the headphone.

The Edifier G2 headphone is pleasant to use even for long hours of gaming. The adequate clamping strength and the soft headband ensured a cozy fit to the user’s head with the added benefit that the headset will not fall of easily with increased head movement. The Edifier G2 headphone is more to an over-ear headphone thus the soft ear cups covered my large early perfectly. The large size ear cups do provide good noise isolation to further increase the sound quality. Due to the ear cups are not covered with any leather-like fabric, dust accumulation tend to occur causing the ears to feels itchy after using if for quite sometimes. The light weight of the Edifier G2 headphones is really an added bonus as it aids in reducing fatigue while using the headset for a longer period of time. The 2m cable length is more than sufficient but the only down side is that the cable is not braided thus its durability is greatly decreased.

The sound quality produced by the Edifier G2 headphone is very decent considering the price of the headset. The bass is powerful as expected from a gaming headset with a very good treble. The headphone is pretty well-balanced, sound quality and clarity when listening to music and gaming were superb with no noticeable distortion even after cranking up the volume to a very high level to the ear. Gaming experiences with the Edifier G2 was remarkable due to the in-game sound were crystal clear. The microphone of the headphone is pretty good. The mic quality is acceptable and due to the position of the mic that are near to the user’s mouth, the voice can be heard clearly during gaming session. So, miscommunication during tense gaming session was avoided! Therefore, overall music and gaming experience using the Edifier G2 headphone was superb and really satisfying.
