EKSA E900 Pro USB Gaming Headset Review: Dual-Cable Flexibility and Virtual Surround

The EKSA E900 Pro is a wired gaming headset built around a simple but genuinely useful idea: instead of forcing you to pick one connection type, it ships with two detachable audio cables — one USB and one 3.5mm — so the same headset can move between a desktop PC, a console, a controller, and a mobile device. Add 50mm drivers, a detachable noise-cancelling microphone, and virtual 7.1 surround sound on PC, and you have a headset aimed at players who want one piece of gear to cover several setups rather than buying separate headsets for each platform.

Design and Build

The E900 Pro uses a retractable headband that adjusts to fit different head sizes. According to the manufacturer, the headband is designed to balance weight distribution and reduce clamping force, while the ear cushions use soft memory protein material. Those are stated design intentions rather than measured results, but they describe the practical goal: a fit that can be worn through long gaming sessions without constant adjustment.

The headband and earcups are the two main contact points, so the adjustability matters more than it might first appear. A retractable band lets you extend or shorten the frame rather than relying on a fixed size, which is helpful if the headset is shared between people or used across different seating positions. The memory protein earmuffs are described as helping to reduce discomfort during lengthy sessions.

LED lighting is part of the design as well. The headset includes cool LED lights intended to create a game atmosphere, which is a cosmetic feature rather than a functional one. It is worth noting that the lighting is typically associated with the USB connection, since USB is what powers the headset’s electronics, while the 3.5mm cable is a passive analog connection.

Features and Technology

The headline feature is the dual-cable design. Both the USB and 3.5mm audio interfaces are detachable, and the headset ships with two removable audio cords. This gives you several alternatives and, in the manufacturer’s wording, diverse sounds depending on which cable you use. In practice, that means you can leave one cable connected to a PC and keep the other with a console or controller, swapping the headset between them without unplugging anything at the source.

The 7.1 virtual surround sound is the second major feature. It is important to be precise here: 7.1 surround sound is only available on PC and only when the USB cable is used. The listing also notes that the 7.1 software requires a driver download rather than being plug-and-play. So if you plan to use the surround feature, expect to install software on a Windows PC first. On consoles and mobile devices, the headset works through the 3.5mm connection, but the virtual surround processing does not apply.

The drivers are 50mm units, which is the size class commonly used in over-ear gaming headsets. The listing does not provide frequency response, impedance, or sensitivity figures, so there is no basis for commenting on tonal balance or volume output beyond what the manufacturer states.

The microphone is detachable and described as a high-sensitivity, unidirectional noise-cancelling design. The manufacturer claims it can effectively reduce background noise and pick up voice clearly, and that it provides specific sound imaging for in-game chat, Skype, working, and studying. The mic is also 360° adjustable, so you can position the boom where you want it. A one-key mic mute switch and volume adjustment are built into the headset for quick control during a match.

Performance and Everyday Experience

The 7.1 virtual surround sound is presented as a positional audio aid: the manufacturer states that it makes subtle sounds, music, and effects from various directions more pronounced and detailed, which is intended to help you identify enemy positions, avoid surprise attacks, and react accordingly. That is the stated purpose of the feature, and it is the kind of claim that depends heavily on the game, the audio mix, and the software settings — so results will vary.

The dual-cable system is where the E900 Pro is most practical. A USB connection on PC unlocks the surround processing and the LED lighting, while the 3.5mm cable turns the headset into a standard analog headset that works with anything that has a compatible jack. Because both cables detach, a damaged cable can be replaced on its own rather than rendering the whole headset unusable — a direct consequence of the removable design, not an additional durability claim.

The detachable microphone is similarly flexible. If you are listening to music or watching something and do not need voice chat, the mic can be removed entirely, which changes the headset’s profile and removes the boom from your field of view.

Connectivity and Compatibility

The E900 Pro is a wired headset, so there is no battery to charge and no wireless pairing to manage. Compatibility is broad on paper: the manufacturer lists PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Switch, and most mobile devices, with the caveat that 7.1 surround sound is PC-only via USB. The 3.5mm cable covers the console and mobile side of that list, while USB covers PC.

One thing to keep in mind is that the 7.1 feature is not plug-and-play. It requires a driver download, which means the surround experience is tied to a PC setup where you are willing to install the software. If you would rather not deal with drivers, the headset still functions as a standard stereo headset over either cable.

Who Is This Product Best For?

The E900 Pro makes the most sense for someone who games across more than one platform. If you split time between a PC and a console, the two included cables let you use the same headset in both places without adapters. PC players who want virtual surround sound and are comfortable downloading the 7.1 driver are the clearest fit for the headset’s main feature.

It is also a reasonable option for anyone who wants a detachable microphone, since removing the mic turns a gaming headset into something closer to a plain pair of over-ear headphones for music, video, or study sessions. The adjustable headband and memory protein ear cushions are aimed at people who wear a headset for extended periods.

It is less suited to anyone who wants a wireless setup, since the E900 Pro is wired only, and to console players expecting surround sound, because that feature is limited to PC over USB.

Final Verdict

The EKSA E900 Pro is a wired gaming headset whose strongest argument is flexibility. Two detachable cables, a detachable noise-cancelling microphone, and a retractable headband with memory protein ear cushions cover the practical basics, while 50mm drivers and virtual 7.1 surround sound on PC address the gaming side. The main caveats are clearly stated by the manufacturer: 7.1 is PC-only over USB and requires a driver download, and the headset is wired rather than wireless. The company also offers a 2-year warranty and a 30-day money-back guarantee. For players who want one headset to serve a PC, a console, and a phone, the dual-cable design is the feature that earns the E900 Pro its place.
