The Cooler Master MH630 are decent wired gaming headphones. They're fairly comfortable for long gaming sessions, and their superb detachable boom microphone records voices very clearly, so you won't have any problem being understood by your teammates or friends. They also have an excited v-shaped sound profile, but they can sound overly boomy and bright. Plus, without dedicated companion software, you can't easily tweak them. They also have limited controls and block out almost no background noise.
Our Verdict
The Cooler Master MH630 are disappointing for mixed use. Although they're fairly comfortable wired gaming headphones, they aren't designed for more casual use. They block out almost no background noise like bus engines or office chatter, they aren't stable enough for even moderate exercise, and their bulky design makes them difficult to take with you on the go. Their excited v-shape sound profile may please some listeners, but the lack of dedicated companion software is disappointing. However, their mic has an excellent overall performance suitable for gaming.
- Superb mic recording quality.
- Detachable boom microphone.
- Comes with a PC Y-splitter.
- Limited controls.
- Poor noise isolation performance.
- No companion software.
The Cooler Master MH630 are fair for neutral sound. They have an excited v-shape sound profile that's very boomy and bright. However, they lack dedicated companion software, so you can't EQ them. Their soundstage is also mediocre, and although it sounds wide and somewhat spacious, audio still seems like it's coming from inside your head.
The Cooler Master MH630 are bad for commuting. They're fairly comfortable for longer listening sessions, but they block out almost no background noise like bus or train engines. Their bulky design also makes them difficult to take with you on the go. Still, their lack of a battery eliminates the worry about recharging them before using them.
The Cooler Master MH630 are poor for sports. As they're designed for gaming, they have a bulky design and aren't very stable on the head, especially if you're wearing them during intense physical activity. While they're fairly comfortable, their audio cable can snag onto things and pull your headphones off, especially if you're using their cable lock feature.
The Cooler Master MH630 are poor for office use. Although they're decently comfortable, they isolate almost no office noise at all, and at higher volumes, also leak audio, which can be audible to your workmates around you. On the upside, they don't have a battery, so you don't have to worry about recharging them.
The Cooler Master MH630 are wired gaming headphones and can't be used wirelessly.
The Cooler Master MH630 are decent for wired gaming as they're compatible with most consoles that have an audio jack. They're decently comfortable, have negligible lag thanks to their wired connection, and their boom microphone captures voice clearly, even in louder environments. Unfortunately, some may find their bass too boomy, and without a companion app, you can't EQ or customize them.
The Cooler Master MH630 are decent for phone calls. They have an exceptional boom microphone that captures your voice clearly, even in noisy situations. On the downside, you may have trouble hearing the person on the other end of the line if you're talking in a noisy environment as they block out almost no background noise around you.
