Gaming experience and MIC
For testing the headset, let's simply talk through a handful of games:
PUBG
Our test could not miss one of the hottest titles of recent years. In many situations, this popular battle royale game requires patience and capturing audio details that can reveal, e.g., if another player is in the same building as you. So, the spatial aspect of the sound is important, making it easier to determine the direction from which the opponent is coming and even how far away they are. The test consisted of playing a single match in solo mode. The MSI IMMERSE GH50 Wireless works well in PUBG.
Battlefield 1
Here, the sound becomes just an addition for us, partly because we cannot even feel the headphones on our heads because of their lightness. The advantage of this is that you can focus on the game better. Everything seems to be correct. The headset does a good job of presenting environmental details. Positioning is adequate here, providing us with a full sense of orientation in the field and the ability to determine where the sound is coming from. Clarity was good as well.
Call of Duty: WW2
Here, positioning is high – we can locate sounds from any direction (up and down) without problems. In short, determining changes in the distance from the sound source was easy for me. Sound-wise, it’s all like it should be.
Project Cars 3
Racing games are very entertaining and also very dependent on the quality of the sound. Bass reproduction was crucial here, and the IMMERSE GH50 Wireless didn’t disappoint, thanks to 50 mm neodymium audio drivers. It was good to use this headset here.
DiRT Rally 2.0
Rally cars at their finest. DiRT Rally is a very demanding simulation (maybe not as much as the Richard Burns Rally, but not that far off). The sound is realistic; you can almost feel the engine’s roar and the transmission's grind. The IMMERSE GH50 Wireless did very well in DiRT Rally 2.0, so you won’t miss any important sounds.
Grand Theft Auto V
GTA 5 is diverse, and some funky tunes can benefit from the headset’s rich bass reproduction. The two 50 mm neodymium drivers make a difference in this game. You can almost feel like you’re really in Ludendorff or Paleto Bay.
Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey
All ambient sounds are reproduced nicely. The stage is sufficient for this game, and weapon strikes sound realistic.
Forza Horizon 5
It is a great open-world racing game. It’s not a simulator, but it brings much fun. The sound of engines (not only yours) is easily distinguished, and the positioning is also accurate.
Testing the microphone
As part of the testing protocol, we also checked the microphone in several applications. First, we used Discord, played some multiplayer games, and played some sound samples with WavePad (an alternative to Audacity). The IMMERSE GH50 Wireless has a rather average microphone, good clarity, quite high (background) noise, and crackling (occasionally). It’s definitely not on par with other modern/higher class (wired) headset microphones, and it won’t be enough in more advanced applications. Still – it should be enough for gaming and voice chat. We need to underline that it’s not possible to mute the microphone when it’s used in a wired mode.
