SPEEDLINK SL-8747-SSV Ares2 Stereo PC Headset Specifications, Tests and Review

The SPEEDLINK SL-8747-SSV Ares2 Stereo PC Headset are wired headphones. In the case of studio and professional DJ headphones, a wired connection is a standard and a necessity. In this case, connecting via cable reduces audio transmission delays and prevents unwanted battery drain as it would be in case of wireless headphones. The same is de facto true for gaming headsets. In case of headphones for normal music listening, the cable is rather a relic, although it still has its fans. However, the wireless option is much more popular for everyday use in today’s world.

The design of the headphones is around the ears. Because of this design, the headphone envelops the entire ear and isolates the ear better from surrounding noise when listening compared to for example on-ear headphones. With that, they offer high-quality listening without interference. However, they are most likely heavier by design and less practical for frequent carrying.

The sound quality can be affected by many factors. To control the optimum playback volume you can use the manual control directly on the cable.

SPEEDLINK SL-8747-SSV Ares2 Stereo PC Headset has a boom–type microphone.
