I use these for work, I am on the phone quite a bit. The sound quality is decent. Very functional, easy to use, great value for the money. The fit is great and very comfortable.

Downgrade from HW20 but with a hardware volume knob!
Picked up a set of these HW12’s on Black Friday for 25, along with their HW20 since the specs are so similar. I was glad I did as they are quite different.The 20 is the better sounding/overall set (assuming I don’t have the breaking buttons issue other reviewers have seen). The weight is within a gram or two. The claimed battery size is ~1/3 on the 20 but the claimed lifetime is the same? As long as it is lightweight and lasts I don’t care who is behind the curtain.The HW12 has two standout features which are abandoned on the HW20: The swingable boom (small issue as the 20’s is out of the way enough to eat and such), and the HARDWARE VOLUME KNOB!The volume knob means the headset will be at the volume you set when you use it next time, you can even set it before you turn it on. And you know when you’re at the end because you can feel it. You can swiftly make large, or small, changes. Interestingly, the knob is still a software knob – my windows PC actually sets the requested level (over bluetooth). But it’s not a fake “how many clicks”, it’s reading a real potentiometer then sending software commands (great since there is no potentiometer noise).But the sound on the HW20’s is significantly louder, and much much more full in the lower frequencies. The HW12 has sound you live with, the 20 just has normal sound. It’s no audiophile’s dream, but it’s fine for a budget set and a big step up if you need a headset.Lastly: The ear pads / cups have a similar looking contact surface, but the sides are more open on the HW12. This looks like it would (and it does!) let in more ambient air/sound, and they sort of feel lighter…. This may even be the source of the poor bass response…. But if you want something which will let you hear around you a bit more, then the 12’s could be for you.

For just over £30 I think this is a decent headset. Build quality is much better than I expected and its lightweight yet sturdy. Importantly it comfortable and fits adults and children alike – the ear cups sit around the ears and don’t irritate or press down too hard.Connections wise I have been using it with my PS5 and it’s worked perfectly so far. The sound output and microphone quality is average and reflective of the price but it’s a budget headset so you get what you pay for in this respect and it’s better than some other budget headsets I’ve used in the past.For the price I think this is a solid headset – happy to reccomend.

Diving into a virtual world after a challenging day in the classroom is a small pleasure I treasure. The sound quality is exceptionally clear and makes me feel as though I’m right there with the characters. Whether it’s an intense match on my PS4 or enjoying a light-hearted game with my daughter on the Switch, everything simply sounds much better. The wireless feature is an absolute joy, allowing me the freedom to move around the living room while staying engaged with the action. The headset is also comfortable to wear, even for extended periods, which is a bonus when you’re trying to fit in some late-night gaming after the children are asleep. However, I did notice the microphone could be a bit more adjustable, especially when switching between gaming and participating in craft forums online. Altogether, it’s a wonderful addition to family gaming nights, enabling us all to connect and enjoy together.
