EKSA E1000 USB Gaming Headset with Mic Noise Cancelling, 7.1 Surround & RGB (Green)
Product description
What it’s for
The EKSA E1000 is a wired USB gaming headset aimed at PC players and console/laptop users who want something simple to plug in and get going. On paper, it’s built around two things you’ll notice during long sessions: an adjustable noise-cancelling mic so teammates can hear you clearly, and 7.1 surround sound support to make in-game audio feel more immersive.
There’s also RGB lighting, which won’t make you play better, but it does add that “proper gaming setup” look. If your priority is reducing hassle (USB audio, no driver installs mentioned) and getting usable voice chat plus directional audio cues, this headset fits the brief. If you’re looking for audiophile-level sound or a premium mic that beats dedicated studio gear, you may find it sits more in the mid-range category than “top-end”.
Key takeaways (based on the spec)
The standout idea here is straightforward: use a 6mm omnidirectional microphone with an adjustable noise-cancelling design, and manage calls quickly with an in-line mute switch and volume control. That’s the kind of day-to-day convenience that matters when you’re in the middle of a match.
For audio, the headset uses 50mm audio drivers with “cinematic bass” positioning, plus 7.1 surround sound. That combination is meant to help you pick up action details (and, specifically, to help recognise enemy direction). It’s designed as a “plug and play” setup with USB audio support, including compatibility with PC (Windows 7, 8, 10) and devices with a USB audio port, plus PS4.
Worth noting: the listing mentions PS4 Console and laptops/other devices with a USB audio port. It also says “PS4/PS5 Console” in the name, but the only explicit compatibility call-out in the description is PS4—so if you’re buying mainly for PS5, it’s sensible to double-check your console’s USB audio behaviour before committing.
The essentials
Comfort and control are pretty clearly addressed. You get an adjustable headband, soft memory earmuffs, and a head cushion intended to keep pressure down during longer sessions. The cable is listed as 2.2m, which should offer enough slack for most desk setups.
The headset is also positioned as lightweight and comfortable by design, which is often where cheaper headsets can fall down—so it’s good that EKSA is addressing fit and heat/pressure concerns directly. Still, comfort is personal: head shape and how heavy you find earmuffs matter, so it’s not something you can judge from specs alone.
As for the RGB light, it’s mostly an aesthetic feature. If you don’t care about lighting, you’re still buying the mic, the USB audio plug-in approach, and the surround/bass tuning.
Where it shines
If you play games regularly on PC and want a headset that’s easy to manage—mute the mic instantly, adjust volume without diving into settings—this is a practical choice. The 6mm omnidirectional mic and in-line controls are exactly the kind of “small” features that reduce friction during teamwork.
It also makes sense if you like the idea of surround sound cues for positioning and direction. The spec is aimed at immersive audio, with bass described as vivid and cinematic, which can suit action-heavy games.
A quick example of how this plays out in real life: you jump into a match on PC, tap the in-line mute if someone starts talking in the room, then tweak volume before the next round. That kind of control is useful even if you’re not using voice constantly.
Things to consider before you buy
No product is perfect, and the main limitation on paper is that “7.1 surround” and “cinematic bass” don’t guarantee the exact sound signature you personally prefer. Depending on the game and your audio expectations, you might find the bass emphasis good for immersion but less ideal if you want a very neutral mix.
Also, while the mic is described as noise cancelling and built to be heard clearly, voice performance can vary with your environment (keyboard noise, room echo, background sounds). If you’re in a very noisy room, you’ll still want to manage noise levels where you can.
Finally, check fit. Adjustable headbands help, but long-term comfort depends on head size and how memory foam earmuffs sit for you.

Is it worth it?
Choose the EKSA E1000 if you want a wired gaming headset that’s built for practical multiplayer use: clear voice chat via an adjustable noise-cancelling mic, quick mic mute/volume controls, and an immersive 7.1 surround + bass-focused audio approach. It’s a solid pick if you value ease of setup (USB, plug and play) and you’re gaming on a compatible PC or a device with a USB audio port.
Skip it (or at least look closer) if you’re mainly chasing top-tier audio accuracy, a particularly premium mic beyond “clear enough for gaming”, or if you need guaranteed PS5 compatibility—because the description explicitly calls out PS4 rather than spelling PS5 out in the compatibility section.
