The Cooler Master MH751 are basic wired gaming headphones. They have a comfortable fit, a well-balanced sound profile, and a detachable boom microphone that offers excellent recording quality. That said, they feel slightly cheaply made, don't have any sound customization features, and block out very little ambient noise. Otherwise, if you're looking for a pair of simple over-ear headphones with a high-quality mic, they're a good option.

Our Verdict

0.0
Neutral Sound 

The Cooler Master MH751 are very good for neutral sound. Their sound profile is quite well-balanced overall, with impressive bass accuracy and a flat and even mid-range that yields full-bodied, present, and detailed vocals and lead instruments. Unfortunately, they struggle to deliver audio consistently and don't have any sound customization features.

Pros
  • Well-balanced sound profile.
  • Comfortable to wear.
Cons
  • Can struggle to deliver audio consistently.
  • No sound customization features.
0.0
Commute/Travel 

The Cooler Master MH751 are poor for commuting and traveling, though this isn't their intended use. They block out very little ambient noise, especially the rumble of bus and plane engines, and aren't very portable. They also lack any sort of on-board controls for media playback or call management. That said, they should be comfortable enough to wear for extended periods.

Pros
  • Comfortable to wear.
Cons
  • Sub-par noise isolation capability.
  • Bulky design.
  • Limited control scheme.
0.0
Sports/Fitness 

The Cooler Master MH751 are a poor option for sports and fitness, though they aren't designed for this purpose. They do a middling job of staying in place and are quite bulky. They have a limited control scheme, so you may need to pull your phone out to make playback adjustments. Their wired connection also increases the chance of the audio cable snagging on something and pulling the headphones from your ears.

Pros
  • Comfortable to wear.
Cons
  • Bulky design.
  • Unstable fit.
  • Limited control scheme.
0.0
Office 

The Cooler Master MH751 are middling for office use. They don't block out that much ambient noise overall, and due to their wired-only connection, they lack any sort of handy wireless features like multi-device pairing. However, they're decently comfortable and don't leak all that much noise, while their boom mic can be detached to give them a slightly more professional look.

Pros
  • Comfortable to wear.
Cons
  • Sub-par noise isolation capability.
  • Limited control scheme.
0.0
Wireless Gaming 

The Cooler Master MH751 are wired-only and can't be used wirelessly.

0.0
Wired Gaming 

The Cooler Master MH751 are good for wired gaming. They have a comfortable fit, virtually no audio latency, and a high-quality boom microphone that should ensure that your teammates understand you clearly. They also have a fairly well-balanced sound profile, though they lack any sort of sound customization features and don't have a companion app.

Pros
  • Well-balanced sound profile.
  • Comfortable to wear.
  • Amazing microphone recording quality.
Cons
  • Can struggle to deliver audio consistently.
  • No sound customization features.
  • Limited control scheme.
0.0
Phone Calls 

The Cooler Master MH751 are a satisfactory choice for making phone calls. Their boom microphone makes your voice sound clear, full-bodied, and natural, and it doesn't struggle too much with isolating speech from background noise. Unfortunately, the headphones themselves let in a lot of ambient noise, so you may have trouble understanding what's being said on the other end of the line.

Pros
  • Amazing microphone recording quality.
Cons
  • Sub-par noise isolation capability.
