The Rosewill RGH-3300 is a good gaming headset for the price. What I like the most about it is that the sound isn't over the top. Rosewill could have done the same thing almost everyone else does by simply cranking the bass up to unbearable levels, but they didn't. They went with a more balanced sound, and while it might not be as fun for gaming, it does allow you to pick up on details which a bloated bass would drown out, such as the footsteps of your enemies.

Its more balanced approach is also why I liked it for music. It handles a wide variety of genres with no trouble at all. Sure, your favorite rap or dubstep tunes won't cause your eyes to pop out of their sockets, but the sound is by no means flat and dull. In short, the RGH-3300 sounds better - more neutral and more balanced - than anyone could expect from a $35 gaming headset. The microphone quality falls within expectations for the price. This is yet another aspect of this headset that didn't disappoint me in any way. It's clear and loud enough for typical usage and cancels out ambient noise to some extent, without overcompressing your voice, which is nice.

One major drawback is the lack of an in-line module with volume controls and a microphone mute switch. I cannot attribute that to the low price because I've tested headsets in this price range that came equipped with the said module. Rosewill even offers it on their cheapest headset, the $15 RGH-2100, so they're obviously aware of the fact that gamers need it. I'm also not a fan of the looks, which you may not find important at all, especially since Rosewill has no plans for you to take the RGH-3300 to the city streets.

As a whole, the Rosewill RGH-3300 doesn't disappoint. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that it offers solid value for the money, especially if you don't live and breathe for the bass and don't care about anything else in the world. On the other hand, it's hard to ignore the fact that for only fifteen more dollars, you could equip yourself with something like the Cougar Immersa - a great-looking gaming headset that's built like a tank and offers a bassy, fun sound many are going to prefer to that of the RGH-3300.
