Anybody has experience with onikuma headsets ?
Posted by deleted_by_reddit@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 32 comments
Idk if this post is in the right place (sorry if it isn't) but idk how to choose a headphone:
I had a onikuma k8 but it broke and I need a new headset, I tried the genesis neon 200 rgb and the xstrike me gh-913 (both budget headsets) (sorry for these obscure brands btw) but the mic quality in both is ass, and the xstrike me is way to bulky and bass heavy (i think, idk if it's bass for sure but it sounds heavy, if that makes sense) for my taste.
So I decided to go back to onikuma but I can't find k8's anymore, I found k19 and k20 for good prices but idk if they're gonna be as good... please I have no idea what the mic specs even mean, I just need to know are those 2 models similar in quality to the k8 or no, especially the mic part, here's the specs of each one, I really need your help, I can't afford to make another bad purchase...
K8: https://www.powerplanetonline.com/onikuma-k8-rgb-green-camouflage-gaming-headphones
K19: https://h5.aliexpress.com/item/4000120423891.html
K20: https://www.tvc-mall.com/details/onikuma-k20-stereo-gaming-headset-over-ear-headphones-with-microphone-black-sku100200836a.html
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me, I really need it.

Honestly I bought the x15 pros and I am playing with guys with blue yetis and to be honest I pick up 10x more then they do. Best $15 I've spent I would put them up with my old Logitech 7.1's
searchinglol31@reddit
Are they still working good
theomenrain@reddit
Lol yes. When I am playing arc raiders my teammates are always like w t f how do you hear them. So by everyone not hearing what I do, and being on point with my call outs I would definitely say yes.
Those are beating Turtle beaches etc so unless most my teammates are hard of hearing and mine is amazing (I am 40 and partied upfront in front of the speakers for many years without proper ear protection, so I doubt that).

I know this is an old post but from my personal experience with the Onikuma X92 model i have one thing to say: Don't waste even the little money this will cost. The sound is plain awful and this is coming from someone who was and will continue to use bluetooth JBL headhphones. The only thing that was alright with them was the built in microphone. Messed with those for good couple of hours before coming to the realization that they just suck. First and last time buying tech from Temu lol
PumpkinButterButt@reddit
My pair has lasted 7 years, the mic is a coin flip on function now but they still work really well in my games. I'm only now considering upgrading but I'm concerned about the decency of wireless headphones, and most of the stuff I like visually are wireless.
Freaki91real@reddit
i bought the onikuma k9 from temu for 24 euro. and u know what ? it sounds better than my razer v2 black shark and allso my astro a4 4 gen. and it delivers higher bits and hertz in windows aswell.
stwanchl@reddit
razer is just bad gimmick branding, i got kraken v4 and it's jst bad (the boop sound each sound stop and (ringing sound but prob this one is defected) and the clamping force so tight i got headache, they also lock the feature for 7.1 in bloatware app and thx in seperate purchase, my first cheapeer headset too sound lot better but how's ur onikuma headset now
Een_tam@reddit
Can you please share the link to your product?
Ok-Chipmunk9509@reddit
They're awful. I didn't even have one for a year and one of the hearing aids already stopped working, and I'm very careful with my things.
Parking-Exit-8132@reddit
I have a question for Onikuma K8 users: how durable are they? What is their lifespan?
Ghost_7600@reddit
I used an HyperX Cloud alpha until not long ago, I also own many other headphones and earphones.
Bought the Onikuma Gt808 for 19 euros expecting nothing but a functional wireless headset. I'm blown away by the quality. The build is light and comfortable, it doesn't feel super premium but is made with materials that will last rather than look good for one or 2 years and then melt away.
The microphone is the best mic I've used on a gaming headset, it's so good I honestly don't miss my k670 or mano dinâmica Mic, of course of I'll do serious recording I'll pick them up, but for voice calls or even yt videos the mic is great.
The sound is also surprising. Honestly does not fall short from the Alphas. It's has a lot of subbass, but it doesn't mess with other frequencies, bass is good, mids are pretty good, no high mids peaks that would make things sound sibilant or screamy. Highs are ok, never owned crazy high end devices.
Haven't tested spaciality and imaging specifically but if my first impressions are correct imaging seems really good and spaciality seems meh.
For the price this is insane. If you erased some of the art and told me this costs double the price I would totally believe.
There are a few giveaways that it's a cheap product but it honestly punch way above it's price range.
10/10 recommend.
Enough-Initial6836@reddit
hola! como te ha ido con los audifonos?
Ghost_7600@reddit
Haven't used them much lately because I was on vacation traveling with my gf, but they still working great, both Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz. 2.4 GHz is a bit sensitive about the dongle position, but about the same as my Logitech mouse or redragon keyboard.
Sound is still what I said, good audio for any wireless headphone, insane audio for the price.
Comfort is really good and they are lighter, or at least feel that way on the head, than my wired cloud alphas.

I've had the Onikuma K5's for years now, I think about 4 to be exact, and I have loved them from the start. I have used them religiously for gaming, and have always been surprised by their quality for the price. Will you get better headsets for higher prices? Yes, of course. But for a budget headset, I'm happy with mine. The only reason I'm upgrading from the K5 is because my friend broke my wires and my piercings stuffed up my cushion pads.
ReynoldzButIsABigMac@reddit
Do u recommend buying any other Onikuma K series? I used to have a K9 but they broke, recently bought Onikuma X25... No what I expected So yeah.. I'm looking for anything similar or better than the k9
PrincessAmongUs@reddit
k9 it's just peak. bought them two times, the first one broke. the sound is so clean, no need for EQ and the mic is so freaking good. only problem is they're heavy af and the wire always be tangling itself and it's annoying
ReynoldzButIsABigMac@reddit
YEAH I actually ended up returning the x25s and bought back my beloved k9 and I kid you not WORTH IT, my only complaint though is that the speakers extenders or whatever they are called torn really quick, so after like 3 months of using em the speakers falls due to how heavy they are (not a issue to me at all though cuz I have a big head lol)
That and the cable tangling as you say, but anything after that the sound really is amazing and mic quality too

I'm currently using the K15 Pro! So so good, great for entry-level or casual gaming, you can hear engines of the cars coming up behind you as you're gaming, and my friends think I'm on a microphone because the headset mic is just so clear for calls. It's definitely more comfortable than my previous K9 (used it for like 4 years until it started disintegrating, but I find the K15 Pro to be much lighter on my ears and more comfy as well). The mic isn't in a fixed position, you can bend it away from your face if need be, and it's got a mic sponge which helps me to isolate the sounds around me when I'm on call. I'd say it's a great headset to use on the daily, I've been such a loyal onikuma fan - even got myself their gaming mouse for daily usage!
DysisK@reddit
for long sessions i care about comfort and clean sound, from my end, for me the GamoSeries GX7 Pro just makes sense. works on pc ps5 xbox and switch no weird setup. also build feels solid without being heavy. it is from GamoSeries and it won on gamingreview.gg. worth a try if you want something that just works.
Trivage@reddit
onikuma is good just because its chinese dont mean its bad got some b100 from temu for 20pounds and theyre so good and worth every bit dont listen to the people saying cuz its from china = bad. ik the post is old as hell
deleted_by_reddit@reddit (OP)
Don't recommend gaming headsets. The general consensus is that they suck and these cheapo ones from China will definetly suck. If you can stretch budget to $50 to $100 you can get Phillip's sph9500 + mic (like the V Moda boom pro). Great entry audiophile with great sound and soundstage, which is what you want if you are gaming and watching films.
deleted_by_reddit@reddit (OP)
I appreciate the straighforward answer, yes those gaming headsets all suck but I'm on a budget for a reason... I saw some reviews and this setup is actually nuts, it's so good for just 100 bucks.
Unfortunately I really really can't afford them, plus I really dk where I can find them (I know this sounds dumb but I'm in a poor country in the middle of an economic crisis so nobody's really buying this kind of stuff).
But your post made me realize I should stop wasting money on trash gaming headsets, I'll just use the 2 bad headsets I bought for a while until I can buy something like that.
So yeah thanks for the recommendation, I just wish I thought about asking reddit before wasting 40$ :(
m0lDaViA@reddit
i recently bought the b100 and it's really awesome for that amount of money tbh. Good audio quality, 2,4G + BT + Wired, rgb.

Necro posting, but I have gray camo K1 Bs from 2017 that are still kicking. Been thrown kicked and torn up due to Overwatch back then but these bad boys are still better than most I’ve used. I can’t speak on all of their products, I just know this one is a tank and extremely comfortable.
Odd-Ninja7711@reddit
Which is better the Onikuma K8 or K9??
Voltalux@reddit
❗ X25 falsely advertises USB and 3.5mm connectivity on the box ❗
1: Canada Computers says once the box is opened it can't be returned unless defective 2: The manual specified US is only for power delivery for the LED lights 3: The manual is inside the box and not available online
Side note: The manual mislabels a diagram where 8 represents the USB connection, but has the description "3.5mm international standard (CITA) interface (left channel-right channel-ground and microphone)", and diagram number 9, clearly next to a 3.5mm jack, has the description "USB interface for power supply for the LED lights"
Rune_WS@reddit
mine broke after 6 months. I would not buy again
AssistanceSavings505@reddit
Is k8 good?
Lauonic@reddit
tbh idk if that is real one u bought or not, on their official website they cost nearly 45 dollars, but on aliexpress like 20 dollars (talking bout onikuma k8), tbh they are not worth it, maximum 8 dollars not more. no software or "surround sound" at all, especially for cs2 cant hear footsteeps and so on normally, so big L on them.
