By having its hardware/software implementation based on C-Media audio, we do get quite a rich set of configuration inside the HERA software for the HEBE M1 RGB headset. The Virtual 7.1 speaker surround can be used when watching various multimedia content and we were happy to see that the positioning of the speakers in the simulated room can be altered on our preference, including their individual volume. As most gaming-oriented headsets, the punchy bass is noticeable even at the stock settings, but it is not over-the-top in order to cause headaches after prolonged use; we can adjust its intensity by using the 10-band Equalizer but we can as well enable the vibration unit for even more immersion.

The retractable microphone cannot be extended as much as we have seen on other models, but is able to pick up sound clearly, without introducing extra static; however, it will pick up noises from your vicinity such as computer fan noises, other people talking nearby and so on.

While the HEBE M1 RGB headset does indeed feature multicolored LED lighting, we do not have any possibility on configuring the setup, but only turn On/Off, the On mode meaning a continuous color cycle.

We have tested the headset while connected to an USB hub, but also plugged in to a spare USB port on the motherboard I/O; with the connection to the USB hub, the headset did not seem to get enough power because we were getting strange pop sounds from time to time. When we have connected the headset directly, there were zero issues whatsoever.

As improvements for future models, we would go with a smaller in-line remote (by retaining the same configuration of buttons), but also a custom LED lighting system.

The HEBE M1 RGB headset can be picked up online for about 70 Euros, which makes it quite affordable for most.
