EKSA E900 Pro in detail

In this section, we discuss the general aspects of the headset. We will look at the design of the device and its construction. We will also take a brief look at the software.

Design and construction

What does the headset look like? The headset features a black design with red accents. When the device is used via USB, there is even RGB lighting on the outer sides of the ear cups.

How does the device sit? The EKSA 900 Pro is a closed gaming headset. The cushions of the headset completely surround the ears and do not just rest on them. The microphone is detachable.

Build Quality

What we like: The gaming headset is well made. There are no sharp edges or spots. The memory foam is well stitched, and there are no gaps or uneven areas between the band and ear cups. The headset itself does not make noise when stretched or pulled, when placed on the head.

What we dislike: The gaming headset does not offer a sleeved or fabric-covered cable. This normally ensures that the cable wears out slower or does not get tangled. The headset is completely made of plastic, and there is no metallic reinforcement in the headband. All controls are also made of plastic, and the mute button for the microphone rattles slightly when not pressed.

Software

The software is very clear and does not offer any additional features aside from the basic functionalities. The volume can be increased, and the microphone can also be easily adjusted; however, the software does not provide more functions. It is not even possible to turn off the RGB lighting of the headset.

The software seems somewhat outdated, resembling the layout and design of Windows Vista and Windows 7. While it is far from modern, it serves its purpose.

On the next page, we will show you how the EKSA 900 Pro performs in practical tests. We will discuss comfort, sound quality, and microphone, and compare the device with its direct competitors.

Finally, you can read in our conclusion how good the device is and for whom the EKSA 900 Pro might be worthwhile.
