Performance
In order for us to ascertain whether the Mionix Keid 20 is a worth headset, we need to test its performance by using it in a variety of environments. Now, when testing such peripherals the results aren’t easily marked like a CPU cooler for example might be recorded with temperatures. The results will be reported after the user’s experience.

Usually we would test the headset in a variety of circumstances, but due to this headset being solely for the purpose of gaming its only fair that we test it in this environment only. So to test, we will be using in two FPS games.



Crysis is a massively popular FPS title that is guaranteed to be on every gamers shelf. The gameplay is generally quite fast paced and there are a much bigger variety of sounds to hear because of the vast array of characters, enemies and weaponry.

As soon as I jump in game, I’m pleased to say that the Keid 20 performs just as good as it looks. The tones are clear and distinct. The bass effects are also apparent when explosions occur. If you are looking to improve your game and want to improve your sound system in-game then the Mionix Keid 20 is a good move. It allows you to plug into the game and synchronize with the task at hand. I can’t fault this headset at all with regard to its performance in Crysis. Very positive.



WWII classic and the latest in a range of FPS Call of Duty: World at War has a multitude of battles, explosions, gunfire and the rest! So, a different style of game compared to the popular FPS that is Crysis.

I play Call of Duty: World at War quite frequently online, and so for this test I engaged in some multiplayer gaming online. Immediately, the precision of such a headset is apparent. Gunfire is very clear, other sound effects such as explosions and ambient sound good also. What I like especially is that even though I was quite a distance from a certain battle between up to 3 players, I instantly knew where about they were on the map due to the surround sound through the headphones. The Keid 20 headset gives you great all around confidence when you are playing because you can pickup the smallest of sounds like footsteps, grenades and bullets whistling past your head.

Whilst I was playing COD:WaW I tried out the microphone and it worked great, my voice was clear, concise and easily picked up by others!

Comfort

The above tests were conducted over a period of around 2 hours. During this time they were much more comfortable than previous headsets that I had used. This is down to the fact that the memory foam has been used on the ear cups, in fact, upon finishing gaming some 30 minutes had passed before I realized I still had the Mionix Keid 20 on. They are seriously that comfortable. Sure enough there is moisture after such a time playing and the Keid 20 has been criticized for this by other reviewers but when something is having direct contact with your skin for such a long time, isn’t it always going to cause you to sweat slightly? The Keid 20 is altogether a very comfortable gaming headset.
