Ozone Onda 3HX Headphones

Sound Quality and Game play

The Ozone Onda 3HX has been designed for gaming, however we tested the headset on music performance as well just to see how well they standout. So first we proceeded to test the Music audio quality by playing a few dance tracks and one of my all time favourites, the Eagles Hell Freezes Over album. After a couple of hours of continuous music play I would give the Onda 3HX a 6/10 score. The Onda 3HX produced rich bass however lacked the depth to my liking. The highs and mid tones were above average for a headset in this price range.

Next we moved onto testing a few games on the PC and a PS3. In this instance our experience was far better than our experience testing music alone. Overall there was good clarity and the MIC seemed to perform exceptionally well. Game play was considerably improved as the Onda 3HX produced good bass and reproduced all sound elements within the game in its true form. The game mode button on the controller box wasn’t very effective from our experience so you’re better off keeping it on standard settings. Overall I would give the Ozone Onda 3HX a 7/10 score for game play performance. 

Conclusion

Having used the Ozone Onda 3HX for a couple of weeks now I must say it’s a well rounded product. It’s offered at a reasonable US$60-$70 price range which competes well with the mid range headset market. Ozone Gaming have placed great emphasis on the build quality of the Onda 3HX and comfort wise we cannot say anything negative as it’s as good as it gets. Furthermore the fact that the Onda 3HX can be used on multiple platforms puts the icing on the cake. There’s no major downside to this headset apart from its mediocre sound quality however given the price of the Onda 3HX it’s great value for money.

If the reason you’re buying a headset is mainly for audio, then the Onda 3HX may not satify. On the other hand it’s a great performer when it comes to gaming and if you want to use the same device on multiple platforms, the Onda 3HX is definitely worth a look.
