Overall and Final Verdict
As an overall package the Ceres-300 is quite the average mid-range headset. The base is present and noticeable but lacks the booming quality some enjoy. The headset handles transitions in sound quite well though it does have problems with the most extreme lows and highs. This, of course, comes as a great compliment to the headset with its MSRP below 30$ as it provides comparable performance to many models even double its cost. It isn’t perfect for the discerning audiophile but more than serviceable for the gamer in need of a headset that will immerse them in gaming experiences.
The full plastic construction does offer some longevity concerns. The adjustable portions of the headband are held together by a pair of small screws and another possible stress point lies with the ear pieces where sharp angles are present. The Ceres-300 has sacrificed some durability to get down to its price point obviously but this is not completely a bad thing. The full plastic construction produced a light, comfortable fit for 5 minutes or 5 hours and left me not having to worry about adjusting my headset for comfort during use.
The Ceres-300 is a perfectly serviceable headset at a very competitive price. It comes through on its promises of comfort and quality. With a bit of careful treatment one can eliminate most of the durability concerns. It would have been nice to see the inclusion of a USB connection adapter with the unit but that would have most likely added to the cost of the unit. As it stands, you would be hard pressed to find a better headset at this price point. For this reason, it garners Top Honors as the best entry-level priced headset we've had the pleaseure of reveiwing.
