AQIRYS ARA Gaming Headset Review

Audio/Others by stefan @ 2024-10-16

We have tested ARA in games such as The Crew Motorfest, Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown, Dustborn but also Diablo 4; the EQ this product does use results in clear highs, balanced mids, while the bass is not overpowering the whole experience. The offered volume is impressively loud, meaning we never felt the need to use it over 50%, while the overall low weight of about 311g is ideal not to notice you are wearing the headset after longer gaming sessions. ARA is constructed from good quality plastic so it won’t creak during adjustment process.

A Closer Look Part IV

On the left cup, we do have a status LED, but also a Volume + button:

The jack interface allows connecting analog sound sources to ARA; in this mode, the battery will not be used:

 

 

 

After fitting the microphone in the dedicated port, the headset is basically ready for use:

 

 

 

On the right cup, we do have a multi-function button, but also the USB-C port for charging purposes; with the dedicated button, we can press twice to enable/disable RGB effect, hold the button pressed for 5 seconds to cycle between Bluetooth 5.0 and 2.4 GHz wireless modes, but we can also short press one single time to cycle between Stereo and Surround modes. Each action (besides RGB mode on/off) is confirmed by a voice while wearing the headset, confirming the modification:

 

 

 

The soft leatherette foam ear pads do ensure comfort during use, while the Stereo channels are noted on the inside filter; the drivers come with the usual frequency response between 20 Hz and 20 KHz, with a sensitivity of 108 +/- 3dB and an impedance of 32 Ohm:

 

 

 

The headband can be adjusted as needed depending on the head shape and size, but no markings are present on it:

 

 

 

The RGB effects look nice since it is not a static mode but a RGB cycle one; however, if you do not have a crowd around and you are using the product at home, we may recommend turning the RGB effects off to save battery life:
