Energy Sistem ESG 4

Manufacturer: Energy Sistem

The Energy Sistem ESG 4 is an over-ear gaming headset designed for use with PC, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation platforms. It connects via USB and features active noise cancellation, making it a straightforward wired option for players who want focused audio without wireless complexity. The headset weighs 340 g and includes both an on-device control panel and an in-line control panel for convenient audio adjustments.

On the audio side, the ESG 4 uses 50 mm neodymium drivers with a frequency response spanning 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz and an impedance of 32 Ohms. It supports virtual surround sound and combines active noise cancellation with passive noise isolation. The built-in microphone is noise-canceling, operates between 100 Hz and 10,000 Hz, and has a sensitivity of -38 dBV/Pa. The 2 m tangle-free cable rounds out the connectivity setup, though the cable is not detachable and the unit cannot be folded for storage.

Pros
  • Includes both an on-device and an in-line control panel, giving easy access to audio adjustments without interrupting use
  • Active noise cancellation combined with passive noise isolation provides two layers of ambient sound reduction
  • The 2 m tangle-free cable offers a generous reach and reduces cable management frustration during sessions
  • Compatible with PC, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation, covering multiple common gaming platforms
  • The built-in microphone includes noise cancellation, which helps reduce background sounds during voice communication
  • 50 mm neodymium drivers with a full 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz frequency range cover the complete audible spectrum
Cons
  • The cable is not detachable, so a damaged cable means the entire headset is affected
  • The headset cannot be folded, making it less practical to store or carry
  • No wireless option is available, limiting movement range to the cable length
  • The microphone is not removable, which may be inconvenient for users who prefer a cleaner look when not in communication
  • No travel bag is included, offering no built-in protection solution for transport
  • The USB connector is not Type-C, which may require an adapter depending on the user's available ports
Who is this for?

This headset suits gamers who primarily play on PC, Nintendo Switch, or PlayStation and want a straightforward wired audio setup without the complexity of wireless pairing. The combination of active noise cancellation and passive noise isolation makes it a reasonable choice for those gaming in moderately noisy environments where blocking out ambient sound matters. Users who frequently communicate during play will also benefit from the built-in noise-canceling microphone and the convenience of dual control panels for quick audio adjustments.

Who is this NOT for?

Users who need wireless freedom of movement will find this headset limiting, as it operates exclusively over a wired USB connection with no wireless option available. The non-detachable, non-folding design makes it a poor fit for anyone looking for a portable or travel-friendly option, especially since no carrying case is included. Those using devices with only USB Type-C ports may also face connectivity issues, and Xbox users are excluded entirely given the listed platform compatibility.

The ESG 4 covers a frequency range of 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz through two 50 mm neodymium drivers, with an impedance of 32 Ohms. It supports virtual surround sound and handles noise reduction on two fronts — active noise cancellation (ANC) and passive noise isolation work together to reduce unwanted ambient sound. These drivers rely on neodymium magnets, which contribute to their efficiency within the stated specifications.

The ESG 4 connects via USB and is compatible with PC, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation. It is a strictly wired headset — wireless use is not supported, and the USB connector is not Type-C.

Features:

The ESG 4 can be used as a full headset and offers two points of physical control: an on-device control panel and an in-line control panel on the cable. It does not include a vibration function, and no travel bag is included in the package.

Final Verdict

The Energy Sistem ESG 4 is a wired USB gaming headset that delivers a practical, no-frills audio solution for PC, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation users. Its most notable strength is the layered noise management — active noise cancellation paired with passive noise isolation — which sets it apart from more basic options in its category and makes it genuinely usable in environments where ambient sound is a concern. The dual control panels add everyday convenience, and the noise-canceling microphone covers the core communication needs of most gaming sessions. That said, the fixed cable, non-folding build, and absence of wireless capability mean it is firmly a stay-at-desk headset with limited versatility beyond that role. For users who prioritize a reliable, multi-platform wired setup with solid noise management over portability or flexibility, the ESG 4 delivers a coherent and well-defined package.
