Plugable Performance Onyx Gaming Headset HS53

Meet the Plugable HS53 Onyx, a gaming headset designed by the Plugable Performance team—a group of dedicated gamers who understand the importance of build quality and comfort during long sessions. The Onyx features premium plastics that keep weight balanced at just 408g, high-quality synthetic leather and cloth for contact points, and sturdy brushed aluminum framing for adjustment hinges. Punchy dynamic audio drivers deliver rich sound, while the noise-cancelling microphone ensures clear communication. Whether you're raiding in an MMO or coordinating in a shooter, this headset is built to perform.

Comfort for Marathon Gaming

The combination of plush ear cushions and a lightweight frame ensures you can wear the Onyx for hours without fatigue. The adjustable aluminum hinges provide a durable yet flexible fit for a wide range of head shapes.

Immersive Audio with Clear Voice Chat

The 50mm drivers produce vibrant soundscapes, from booming explosions to subtle footsteps. The noise-cancelling microphone filters out background noise, so your teammates hear you clearly, and a convenient mute switch is right on the ear cup.

Wide Compatibility

Works with PC, Mac, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch via the 3.5mm audio jack or USB adapter. Note: Xbox may require the official adapter for chat audio (sold separately).

Great sound, decent mic

The audio quality is immersive, especially with 7.1 surround. The mic is clear but not the best I've heard. The build is sturdy and the ear cushions are comfortable for long sessions. Good value for the price.

Beast for gaming

This headset is a beast. The 7.1 surround sound really helps in FPS games – I can hear footsteps clearly. The noise-cancelling mic picks up my voice well and blocks out background noise. The comfort is amazing for long gaming sessions. Highly recommend.

Good but could be better

The headset sounds good, but the bass is a bit weak for my taste. The mic quality is fine, but the noise cancellation isn't as good as advertised – it picks up some keyboard clicks. Also, the 7.1 surround requires the software, and it's a bit buggy. Overall, it's okay.

Comfy and reliable

I use this headset for both gaming and work calls. The sound is clear, and the mic works well. The build feels solid – not cheap plastic. The ear cups are soft and breathe well. Only downside is that the 7.1 surround doesn't work well with all games, but it's a minor issue.

My son loves them

I bought these for my teenage son who games a lot. He says the sound is awesome and the mic is clear. The headset is comfortable enough for hours of play. The noise-cancelling mic is great, I can't hear his brother in the background when he talks. Very happy with this purchase.

Not worth it for B-stock

I got this as B-stock, and it had a scratch on the headband. More importantly, the left ear cup stopped working after two weeks. The sound is good when it works, but the quality control seems poor. I expected better from Plugable.

Solid headset

The Onyx headset is a solid choice for console and PC gaming. The 7.1 surround is a nice touch, though it's software-based. The mic quality is above average. The price is reasonable. I've used it for about a month with no issues. Would buy again.

Excellent sound and comfort

I've tried many headsets under $100, and this one is the best. The sound is well-balanced, with good bass and clear highs. The 7.1 surround is immersive. The ear cups are plush and fit my ears well. The mic is detachable, which is a nice touch. The build feels solid. Definitely recommend.

Great for the price

I bought this on sale, and it's been a great addition to my setup. The sound is clear, and the mic works well for discord. The noise cancellation is decent – it blocks out my PC's fan noise. My only gripe is that the cable is a bit short, but it's manageable.
