One glance at my author photo or learning that I'm above the age of 30 should be enough for anyone to surmise that I am not the target audience for the JLab x MrBeast Nightfall Wired gaming headset - and yet, I still quite like it.

It's not going to give the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best gaming headsets a run for their money any time soon, but it ticks all the boxes of what makes a great bit of licensed tech. The MrBeast design might not be to everyone's tastes, but it manages to balance its flashy branding with a great sound and all for as low as under the $30 price mark.

Do I like the headset enough that I'm going to transform into a massive MrBeast fan? No, I'm much happier sticking to my hour-long video essays on Disney Channel shows I've never watched from YouTubers like Keyan Carlile instead. However, if you know a younger MrBeast fan in your life who wants to chat to their friends via GameChat on the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Nintendo Switch 2 and has a small budget in mind, this JLab X MrBeast wired headset ge𝓡ts the job done.

Besides ♏the sound quality, the main factor I look at the most when it comes to any licensed tech is its design. There's plenty bits of gaming tech out there that just have a couple of logos slapped on the side, and that's it. This headset does have the MrBeast logos on either cups, but there's been a surprising amount of thought put into the look of this product, which is what instantly drew me to testing it 🔜out.

JLab Gaming could have very easily released an all-blue colorway, and popped some stickers on top and called it a day. Instead, this headset looks as good as the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best Nintendo Switch headsets outꦐ there and comes with a black transparent plastic chassis, an aesthetic that feels very inspired by the late '90s and early '00s transparent tech of the likes of the Atomic Purple Game Boy Color.

This isn't the first bit of gaming audio tech to harken back to the Y2K era. Right now, I also have the limited edition 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:SteelSeries Arctis Game Buds sitting on my desk, which offer up ဣthe same translu💃cent look, but these come at a pretty high $159.99 price point.

It's not just the transparent design that impressed me with this Switch 2 headset. The inside fabric mesh of each foam-padded earcup features sprinkles of the YouTuber's trademark blue, and the bright-patterned headband is the cherry on top of this great-looking, low-cost headset cake.

The headband features a blue and pink pixel-patterned design throughout, which wraps around the plastic band via a velcro leather strap. While the chassis evokes the late '90s, the headband and its bright, vivid colors look almost '80s-like, and it still managed to be lightweight 𒅌a𝓰nd comfortable despite its lack of any foam padding.

Bits of YouTuber merch, even of the tech variety, can sometimes prioritize the design ab😼ove all else, but this wired headset still has a great sound.

That wasn't too surprising, as I'm more than familiar with JLab's quality, as the JLab JBuds Lux ANC headphones are my every💎day pair of cups when listening to Spotify on the go. These don't quite match the bassy boom 𝔉of my everyday pair, but Mario Kart World sounded delightful through these cheaper cups.

Origina﷽lly, I still assumed this officially branded Mr Beast headset would forgo the audio quality for its funky aesthetics, but I was pleasantly wrong. The 50mm audio drivers evened out the busy soundstage of Mario Kart World's freeroam mode.

Even my current favorite EP, Music To Refine To: A Remix Companion to Severance, by ODESZA, which is very bass-heavy, has zero distortion and sounded absolutely fantastic. Sure, it's not a sound you can feel deep within your bones like you'd find on the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:St♑eelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless, but 💮for a $30 wired headset, it's still pretty impres⛄sive and definitely a headset I'd be happy enough to supply to a younger MrBeast fan in my life - if I happened to know one.

I can't entirely sing its praises, as the microphone quality is exactly what you'd expect for something that cheap. Through testing, my voice sounded like I was underwater, or like I was talking through a pillow. That's not going to sound pleasant during long stretches of playing Marvel Rivals on the PC or PS5, which I do on the daily.

For a quick chat amongst friends via GameChat on the Switch 2, it'll be fine. However, I'd sooner recommend saving up and opting for alternatives like the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Razer Barracuda X Chroma or the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3 Wireless if havi𓂃ng aꦯ high-quality mic is important for you.

If you fancy yourself an inexpensꩲive wired headset for your new Switch 2 portable gaming setup instead, and you happen to be a big MrBeast fan, this Walmart exclusive headset is for you. There's no fancy wireless features to be found, but even weeks after testing, I'm still taken aback at just how great this pair looks and sounds.

If anything, it's taught me that sometimes good things do come in small, MrBeast-branded packages. Even ones that aren't𒁏 of the MrFeastible chocolatey kind.
