As we all know, there are many classifications of smartphones now, such as mass mobile phones, e-sports mobile phones, and beauty mobile phones. In fact, bluetooth headsets are now also a trend of refinement, for many friends who like to play mobile games, a suitable e-sports headset is absolutely essential.
Because most smartphones give users more visual feedback when playing games, relying solely on mobile phone speakers in games that emphasize operation or multi-sensory cooperation is simply not enough; so e-sports headphones have become popular. Just like me, after playing enough of the glory of the king, I planned to play Peace Elite, but I couldn't stand playing with headphones for a few days. The various delays of footsteps and gunshots made me dizzy, and finally I planned to buy an e-sports headset, so I started the new GX07 of the Wanderer's e-sports brand HECATE.
The reason for choosing this headset is very simple: 1, Wanderer is a big brand, a domestic audio listed company; 2, a special launch of an e-sports headset brand, which shows the importance attached to this market. Plus its price is also quite conscientious, just start. From the packaging, we can see that the rambler HECATE GX07 e-sports headphones (convenient text, hereinafter referred to as HECATE GX07) are very stylish, the main color is a very highly technical silver gray, brand logo, product model and headphone rendering diagram are readily available. The gamepad icon in the lower right corner proves that this is a product specially built for esports games.
The packaging is pull-out, and when opened, you can see the inside: on one side are headphones, placed on a plush mat; on the other side is a storage box, where various accessories are placed.
A simple inventory reveals the following accessories: battery compartment (headphones included), ear caps, charging cables, storage pouches, instruction manuals and stickers.
From the design style point of view, HECATE GX07 esports headphones are very bold, this sci-fi sense of cyberpunk style is not common in the current headphone design. The design of the entire battery compartment adopts a special-shaped structure, and the opening of the battery compartment is very similar to that of a sports car, which can be said to be full of technology, fun and personality.
The front of the product has a PHYSICAL LOGO OF START, which plays a decorative role in beautifying, just like the nameplate on the sports body; the other is also a reminder to remind the user that the battery compartment should be opened from here.
There are indicators distributed on both sides of the fuselage, and there will be different light effects displayed when opening and closing and pairing, which is convenient for users to judge the status of the equipment.
On the back of the device, there is the TYPE-C charging interface, and the GANMING logo emphasizes the gaming attributes of the product.
Opening the battery compartment, we can see two headphones, in addition to a physical button of the GX. This button is mainly used for Bluetooth pairing.
The design of the headset is also very characteristic, in order to better fit the ear part, the use of airpods similar to the structure, can better fit the ear canal and the pinna, the ear handle part is an angular approximate triangle design, the line is hard with silver gray glossy surface, and the style of the battery compartment is consistent.
In terms of use, heCATE GX07 gaming headphones also need to complete Bluetooth pairing in advance. As for the way of pairing, there are two ways, 1, open the cover is connected, GX07 is to support this function, open the mobile phone Bluetooth after opening the battery compartment cover will automatically connect to the binding; 2, if it is a novice, you can press the GX physical key in the battery compartment, after 3s breathing lights appear blue and white alternate flashing, the same into the pairing state.
In terms of hardware, HECATE GX07 has done a lot of work: in terms of signal, it uses Bluetooth 5.0 technology to ensure the signal strength and connection stability of audio; in terms of sound quality, he uses an 8mm composite diaphragm unit to ensure sound quality; in terms of noise reduction, it makes a 4-microphone array on a single ear, laying a solid foundation for listening and receiving noise reduction.
Software, HECATE GX07 play more, first of all, audio decoding technology, it supports AAC, LHDC dual high-definition audio decoding, the former needless to say, iPhone phone uses AAC audio decoding, the latter is Sennheiser, iron triangle, international manufacturers are useful decoding technology.
Secondly, the HECATE GX07 also uses hybrid active noise reduction technology, which is rare at this price point. Noise inside and outside the ear canal is detected by four microphones distributed in different positions, and then the dynamic unit emits reverse sound waves to cancel it at a depth of -38dB. Finally, there is an exclusive APP, through which you can personalize the settings and intensity of the ambient sound, left and right ears, etc.
From the above interpretation, you can see that although the HECATE GX07 is positioned as an e-sports headset, it fully takes into account the music crowd and has two modes: music/game. In terms of games, the Wanderer E-sports Acoustics Lab has output H+ special game sound effects for e-sports games, which can be optimized for gunshots, footsteps, airplane sounds, etc., with 60ms low latency, bringing you game blessings and game experience are very different.
From my personal experience of wearing and using, after wearing the HECATE GX07, I have more profound feedback on the sound of gunshots, footsteps, incendiary bombs, wheels and even the sound of planes passing in the sky, which can make me clear the direction and even the approximate distance of the gunfire in the first time. When there is no headset, relying solely on the speaker of the mobile phone, it is difficult to play the game operation promotion brought by the sense of hearing, and can only rely solely on vision, so that both the reaction and the operation are lagging behind.
After using the headphones, although I haven't played for a while, I still have a lot of opportunities to eat chicken when I get started and skilled with my teammates.
Musically, the HECATE GX07 performed better than expected. First of all, in terms of functional design, the left and right ears can be used separately, the left ear double-click can achieve noise reduction mode; the normal mode and the ambient sound mode can be switched; the right ear double-click can achieve playback/pause; the left ear triple-click can realize the sound mode switching, that is, the game mode and the music mode switch; the right ear triple-click is the music switch. There seems to be no volume adjustment, but in fact this is not necessary, and the impact is not large.
Secondly, in terms of sound quality, Bluetooth 5.0 technology, 8mm composite diaphragm plus AAC, LHDC dual high-definition decoding technology, so that the sound quality of headphones has been effectively improved, low and medium frequency submerged, high frequency analysis is thorough, and the comprehensive performance is remarkable. Especially when the bass is submerged and powerful, rather than muffled response; the performance of the vocal part is also very outstanding, I listened to Cai Qin's works, found that the drum sound of the wet, the whip is very clear when it comes in, and the subsequent bass is also more mellow, as for Cai Qin's vocal performance, it is more clear, layered; there is a sense of atmosphere at the concert site.
In addition to these, the performance of the HECATE GX07 in terms of battery life is not bad, but it is not very good. When noise reduction is turned on, the headphones can be used for about 25 hours; when noise reduction is turned off, the headphones can be used for about 35 hours; although not very good, but for most moderate and mild users, it is completely fine to use 3-5 days.
In general, a headset that supports active noise reduction, excellent sound quality and a good bonus for e-sports games basically requires thousands of yuan to achieve both. Can press the price to this point, even domestic brands are difficult to achieve the price to this extent, the price of 799 yuan is indeed quite worth it.
