? YOWU 4 RGB Cat Ear Headphones ?❓ A Little Backstory:I’ve been watching and following this company and its products closely for at least 6 months now, and I’ve always wanted to get a pair of their headphones (mainly because of the visual presentation.) Since it was my birthday, I decided to splurge and get these!I want to share my thoughts since I really like these headphones and had been thinking for a long time about whether or not to get them. If you have the money, don’t hesitate!Wanna know about my old headphones? Details are at the bottom!✨ If this was helpful, please mark it as so, I’d love to see that I helped at least one person. ✨———————————— ꉂ(ˊᗜˋ*) Intermission…? Onto the Summary!Price ★★★★☆ The price is reasonable, especially compared to its competitors. But there are some unpolished features.Feel ★★★★★It’s heavy at first, but you get used to it.Visuals ★★★★★100/10. Amazing. Adorable. Aesthetic.Audio ★★★★☆Bass and spatial sound are out of this world. Odd static, but barely noticeable.Gaming ★★☆☆☆Co-op gaming is not an option. (I use PC and Nintendo Switch)Bluetooth ★★★★★I had no issues!⚠️ I could not properly access the microphone or app, so those are not included in my review.———————————— ꉂ(ˊᗜˋ*) Intermission…?

Onto A Detailed Summary!1PRICE ★★★★☆The price is reasonable, especially compared to its competitors. But there are some unpolished features of the headphone that annoy me, that for this price should be eliminated. (The static is one of the biggest- see AUDIO)————————————2FEELING ★★★★★The headphones feel heavy at first when you get new headphones or aren’t used to heavy headphones, but after 2 days I’ve gotten used to them and they don’t really feel like anything anymore.Please note that these headphones are able to be extended, so make sure to stretch them out to fit your head. My head is a little smaller than average so I don’t need to stretch them out completely.I chew gum a lot, can’t chew gum while wearing these headphones. It hurts.————————————3VISUALS, FEATURES ★★★★★Amazing. They look adorable and the different RGB settings are one of my personal favorite features that make these even better. Nothing wrong here, at all. They’re beautiful headphones, and when it comes to cat ear headphones, these are the best on the market. It matches my aesthetic perfectly. When I tell you they look even better in real life than on camera, I mean it. I love these.The headphones themselves have color selection buttons which function just like the app, so I don’t need the app fortunately so that makes me happy! +1 for that, didn’t even know that was something that came with the headphones! Make sure to follow the instructions to properly use the color changers.————————————4AUDIO ★★★★☆Like I said before, Co-op gaming is a big NO. However when it comes to singular audio and music? It’s amazing. Try to have your audio on 50% or more when listening to avoid the odd static noise though… I don’t understand why the static is there, but it’s something that your brain will eventually tune out. If you don’t think your brain will tune the static out, make sure to check the return policy and try it out, then return it if you have trouble tuning out. But the bass and spatial sound are amazing- the static doesn’t bother me unless my volume is low.Also I don’t get that static sound when I’m using my Nintendo Switch for some reason.————————————5GAMING ★★☆☆☆If you’re playing solo, it’s amazing, since you only need one audio source. Co-op? Can’t do two audios at once (i.e. using Discord while playing a game with friends) without both audios sounding like the static on the radio. Extremely disappointing.Information about me, if this helps fellow Gamers!: Playing games has been a joy of mine since I was 7 with an Xbox 360. (I’m 18 now) I don’t play Triple A games very much, mostly indie games!————————————6MICROPHONE ?I called my cousin and he said I sounded the same as I did with my former Razer Kraken Headphones. Can’t tell you how it sounds but if I figure out a way, I’ll include it in this review.————————————7BLUETOOTH ★★★★★No issues for me! Paired beautifully and easily with my laptop, phone, and nintendo switch. No complaints here.————————————8APP ?It’s not compatiable with my old phone lol, sorry!————————————✨ ★★★★☆ 4 out of 5 Stars - Great headphones overall. It’s only the static and inability to play games with friends effectively that annoy me, since those are important to me, but I’m keeping them for the great audio quality and wonderful aesthetics overall. I’m not always playing games of course, so they’re worth it.———————————— ꉂ(ˊᗜˋ*) Intermission…? Let’s compared to the RAZER KRAKEN (KITTY)!There was a point where I wanted the Razer Kraken Kitty ($150) but I’m glad that I got these instead. I have the regular Razer Kraken Headphones, Which are $80 (I had gotten them on sale for $50) and I’ve heard from countless reviews that the Kitty is the same as the regular Kraken, just with added visuals. Comparing these YOWU 4 Headphones, these are overall better, just not for gaming. (See AUDIO above for more detail)
