CONCLUSION
Remember the ISO by Antec Mobile Products which we reviewed a while back? Well the Oxygen is pretty much an ISO but without Bluetooth connectivity. Now the reason i say pretty much is because the audio quality is not 100% on par with the ISO but the Oxygen still offers a very good amount of bass without compromising in mid/highs which are surprisingly clear and accurate. It also offers the same noise-suppression thanks to the design of the earphones and the silicon ear tips something which many will find quite convenient especially in places with lots of exterior noise. The in-line Omni-directional microphone on the other hand could be a lot better but for games where you don't really need the best possible sensitivity it did ok. My only slight issue with the Oxygen is its cable (yes just like with the ISO) since it doesn't look like it can take much beating and so people who attend LAN events often and may end up using them for many hours at a time this might become a problem sooner rather than later. The good thing is that OZONE offers a nice carrying case which easily keeps the Oxygen headset safe but outside from that i just don't know (of course we could be wrong and you may end up using the Oxygen for many years without issue).
Price is perhaps the strongest point of the Oxygen In-Ear ProGaming Headset by OZONE since currently it retails for just 30Euros inside the EU (Amazon.co.uk). Unfortunately no matter how much we looked the Oxygen is not currently available in the USA (at least none of the large online stores carry it) so we can't comment on the price (although it should be at around USD40). Bottom line if you want a cost-effective gaming earset which you can take along with you at LAN events (or while at home) and also use with your smartphone then look no further than the Oxygen In-Ear ProGaming Headset by OZONE since it does offer an excellent bang for your buck and that's why it gets our golden award.
