Redragon H510 Zeus Gaming Headset Review
I had never heard of the Redragon H510 Zeus until I stumbled upon it one night browsing Amazon store pages. At first glance, it looks like a different re-badge of the Takstar Pro 80 headphones which also serve as the basis for HyperX’s iconic Cloud series.
However, on closer inspection, so many little details were different that I realized this wasn’t a Takstar-derived product at all, but rather a budget copy of an already-affordable headset. The H510’s overall package also seems too good to be true at first glance, including several small perks and features you normally don’t see until you’re quickly approaching the hundred-dollar mark.
Indeed, aside from a few trivial complaints, this is one of the most competent gaming headsets I’ve reviewed in the last year, and its ~$50 price is about half of what I’d expect to pay if a different company’s name were printed on it.
OVERVIEW
The Redragon Zeus H510 is a closed-back, wired gaming headset with a detachable cable, a 3.5mm PC splitter, detachable microphone, and optional included USB DAC/amp combo. They claim that this dongle is a 7.1 device, but it only supports stereo input from your PC and its virtual surround functions are questionable at best. However, it still produces great stereo audio. The dongle includes inline buttons for adjusting volume and muting the mic and audio output. Rounding out the package is a simple carrying bag and some instructions pointing you at the software download for the dongle.
It sells for a standard retail price of around $55 but is on near-constant discount through partners like Amazon, where I bought mine, so you should have no trouble finding it for just under $50. Here’s a link to the official product page. I get zero money if you click that, as it’s not a tracking or affiliate link.
I was actually sent the “Zeus 2” bundle, which is a slightly newer model that seems to be nothing more than a cosmetic/branding refresh, so don’t be alarmed if the branding on your box…
