I receive this headset for free to write an honest review. The Havit HV-H2158U is a Gaming headset, it has a comfortable headband with adjustable sides which changes the size of the headset to let it fit on all types of head sizes. The ear pads are Pleather, but the cups are open, it doesn’t get hot on your ears after long usage. Each sides of the cup has a LED where the holes are, that changes on their own at random.  The headset was light on my head and I didn’t have any issues with the headset itself.
The headset has a mic which is small but close enough to your mouth, which works very well.  The Headset is not analog, but USB connection the cable is braded, but at times it doesn’t want to get straight and keeps twisting into loops. The headset has the option of being used without drivers for stereo and with drivers as a virtual 7.1 headset, besides having access to the software.
 
The Software
The HV-H2158 build in dac is based off C-media’s usb chip, I can’t find which one it is. But the software it uses for the drivers is the same one that the Asus U7 usb uses. It has all types of settings and config. I have not tried the settings in games. One thing is the drivers supposed to install the headset as 7.1 to allow for Xear surround max to work correctly. Maybe in a future driver it will be fixed to work like it intended to with the drivers.
 
Results
In fps the headset had a very good sound image, I was able to hear the location of the targets easy, the weapon fire as clearly heard. Over all the headset did a good job in the different number of fps games I played, Such as Zombie Army Trilogy and dying light.
 
I tried a couple of side scrolled games, the audio performance was really good, the audio sound really good to me in Guacamelee gold edition as well 20XX.In 20xx I was hearing a part of the music and I keep turning around thinking I was hearing something in my room because of the way the song was done. But it was the game itself.
 
I tried a few songs and the HV-H2158U did a pretty good job in them, I didn’t primary used music for the review as I normally do as most people will be using these for gaming and may not use them with music any way. But they will do a good job for music, as long you have not used anything better of course.
 
Over all besides the flaws with the drivers and the cable issues, Havit did a very good job with the H2158U, a very good headset.
