Tt eSports Level 10 M Gaming Headset Review

Comfort

For comfort I’m taking two main areas in to account, overall fit and ear comfort. As far as the overall fit goes, I felt like the Level 10 M did alright. I have an average sized head and I found my ideal band setting was near the middle, allowing for plenty of room for people with larger or smaller heads to adjust. The foam pad at the headband sat comfortably on my head as well. Despite its blocky and uncomfortable appearance, because the earcups swivel they apply an even pressure all the way around the ear when adjusted to the correct height.

The earcups themselves are made of pleather which I am not a big fan of as it doesn’t breath like a felt/velvet style cup. These are an over-ear style headphone which means the earcups completely surround your ear. I found them to be reasonably comfortable up to about the 1.5 hour mark when my ears starting getting sore from rubbing inside the cups and hot from the pleather material combined with the fully-enclosed design.

Sound and Voice Quality

Starting with sound quality, I was pleasantly surprised by the Level 10 headset. These cans get plenty loud and stay crystal clear all the way to 100% with no distortion even on complex, bass-heavy songs. The highs are clear and concise without being too sharp and the midrange was excellent as well. The bass however was lacking, especially considering the closed-back design of this headset. It never gets muddy but it also never hits those really low notes. You can “hear” the bass but you never “feel” it which I think is important for a gaming headset. Separation between different notes was very good and I was able to easily tell which direction a certain sound was coming from even with a lot of background noises happening.

Voice quality overall was pretty good with my voice coming through clear and strong and background noises such as ceiling fans and mouse clicks being cut out. Unfortunately, the microphone is a little too quite, requiring me to max out the volume and increase the microphone boost to +20dB. After recording some test clips and listening back to them I can hear a very slight whine in the background which went away when the mic boost was dropped to +10dB. However, it was just too hard to hear without the boost set high so the whine stayed, though it wasn’t excessive.

General Use

In general, living with the Tt eSPORTS Level 10 M headset day-to-day was pretty good. The headband was simple to adjust and lock in to place and the microphone flipped out of the way when it wasn’t needed. The removable wire is nice for those who tend to step on their cord as they stand up as it will just pull out rather than yank your head or damage the cord. The fact that you can switch which side the wire plugs in to is also a very cool feature as you can use the side that your tower sits on so the cable doesn’t run across your lap.
I found the braided 3m cable to be plenty long enough and the inline controller to work flawlessly for adjusting volume and muting the mic. The included 1m straight cable also works great with mobile devices which had no problem pushing these headphones to uncomfortably loud levels while maintaining clarity.
One thing that you have to keep in mind is that because these are a closed back design they have a lot of sound isolation. This means that you probably won’t hear someone knocking on your door or calling your name especially when you bring the volume up.
