It is very loose-fitting, though, and while you don’t want your headset to be too tight on your head, the Mpower has gone too far the other way, with a very open headband. The headband has less padding than is desirable, but this is somewhat negated by the lightness of the Mpower (285g). Strong materials have been used in the construction, and considering the strength of the headset, they have done well to keep the weight down. Sades have also cleverly designed the microphone on the Mpower to slide back into an opening in the earcup, very handy for when you are just listening to music or movies, or when you aren’t chatting to friends (or enemies).īuild quality is good. The integrated 3.5mm jack lead is 1.2m long with an inline volume control, terminating in a right-angled connector that is advantageous if you are a mobile gamer, as it keeps protruding wires to a minimum. The earcups themselves are closed-back, styled with the Sades logo underneath an iron mesh. There is no rotation to the forks, unfortunately, which causes issues with the fit. The lightly padded headband leads down to the wide, blue coloured stainless steel forks. Sporting a black and contrasting blue colourway, they have an eye-catching design. Sades have embraced the eSports design philosophy with the Mpower. At the price it’s unsurprising, but seeing as this is being advertised as an eSports headset, it’s still a consideration if you rely on these kinds of effects.

Inside the box, you will find your Mpower headset, an additional Y-splitter cable for connecting to a PC with separate microphone and headphone ports, the instruction pamphlet, warranty card and a pair of leather earpads that can be switched out with the fabric ones that come fitted. The main alternatives in this exceptionally cheap price bracket are Astro’s A10, Turtle Beach’s Recon 70 and the Logitech G332, which are all great performing headsets. Sure, there are literally hundreds of cheap headsets available, but if we are honest, most of them are garbage. Available for just £31.99, there is very little out there in the way of competition. The Mpower is Sades’ entry-level offering, however, despite its low price, it’s being marketed as an eSports ready headset. That’s not to say you should discount them though, as they have a wealth of experience and a very competitive pricing structure. A lesser-known Chinese company, they have been making headsets and other peripherals for nearly twenty years, but they haven’t garnered the mainstream attention afforded to brands like Astro, Turtle Beach or Logitech. You’d be forgiven for not having heard of Sades.
