This is a very recent headphone that I believe became available on Amazon somewhere in mid-2019. After thoroughly testing series of budget headphones, I can safely say that this is the best budget headphones out there in the world.
When you are searching for a gaming headphone, it very important to get your priority right. Most people just think that a good surround sound such as virtual 7.1 makes a headphone a gaming headphone. That is not so. A stereo headphone too can be classified as a gaming headphone and many reviewers and gamers themselves prefer to use a stereo headphone for the audio quality and versatility that it provides.
These headphones are excellent gaming headphones in the sense that they provide excellent "gaming music" quality. That sweet sound of clashing of the swords and that of wasted cartilages falling of your guns or even the subtle sound of turning the door knob or picking the lock all that is amazingly delivered to your ears and the sound should be so crisp & clear that you should find yourself immersed in those sounds rather than the game itself. My brother had purchased a Kraken X from Amazon, which broke after 1 1/2 month while one day he was just removing off his head. The Kraken had an amazing sound quality that came with poor build. Lenovo Legion H300 provides the same audio quality (or better?) without compromising on the build.
The thing about Lenovo Legion H300 is that the makers of this headphone seem to have put as much effort in the design and build as they have put in its sound calibration. You will find yourself wondering what in the world are all these premium headphone brands doing when it was possible to make a headphone reasonable in cost and superior in quality and under 2000 bucks. By the way, this headphone has potential to satisfy an audiophile, too. Just get your sound drivers right 😊
I personally use APO Equalizer + HeSuVi (Headphone Surround Vitualization software) to take the audio experience to the next level. Just buy these headphones and set yourself up with HeSuVi surround sound and thank me later. Now for the numbers...
Build Quality: 5/5
- Enough said already.
Audio Quality: 5/5
- Enough said already.
Microphone Noise Cancellation: 4/5
- Actually, higher range headphones have exceptional noise cancellation which you usually won't find in a budget headphone.
Noise isolation: 5/5
- Pretty good. You cannot hear someone standing beside speaking to you while something is playing in your headphones unless that person actually shouts. But it does not provide that super-isolation where the roof crashes besides you and you yet don't know anything has happened around you.
Comfort: 100/5
- Yes. It is not a hyperbole. Use it and you will feel it.
Overall: 5/5
X-Factor: Design. The rotating cups which cover you ear and headband attached to those cups. The overall combination is not just super-innovative and comfortable but attractive too!
Things to watch out for: Remember that experiment you might have done as a kid where your connected two coconut shells with a metal string and spoken with the person at the other end. And your friend or your sibling at the other end might have scratched the coconut just to irritate you. Okay, your friend might have not scratched the coconut. But I would recommend you to not scratch your headphone like my friend did with the coconut. Not because it will make scratches on headphone but because it will sound as if the scratching is coming from inside the headphone. Yes, the headphone material propagates the slightest, the faintest of sound delivering it to you ears. Even, something such as brushing off of that dust settled on your headphones. The material used is very sensitive to the touch and carries the sound to your ears.
Apart from this, few international reviewers have reported about cover material coming off the headband (the padding at the top) coming off exposing the soft sponge inside the headphones. Now, I am not sure how much of this is true. I will have to wait and watch.
TL; DR You can blindly purchase these headphones for a under Rs. 2500/- budget unless you are looking for a true superior quality virtual surround which cannot be delivered by a stereo headphone. (Actually, it can be… With the help of Windows Sonic and stuff but not at the quality of a true 7.1 surround sound headphones.) Also, surround sound quality and sound quality are two different things. Don't mix them up and curse the product later. Check what you need before you buy and don’t blame the product later.
