Thunderobot H31

Manufacturer: Thunderobot

The Thunderobot H31 is a wired over-ear headset designed for PC gaming, combining a closed-back build with RGB lighting and virtual surround sound for an immersive session setup. It connects via USB and comes with a 2 m tangle-free cable, making it straightforward to use at a desktop. A travel bag is included, and on-device controls handle playback and audio adjustments without the need for an inline panel.

On the audio side, the H31 uses 50 mm neodymium magnet drivers with a frequency range of 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz, a sound pressure level of 100 dB/mW, and an impedance of 32 Ohms. Passive noise reduction is provided by the closed-back, over-ear design, though active noise cancellation is not featured. The built-in microphone covers a range of 20 Hz to 16,000 Hz, carries a sensitivity of -42 dBV/Pa, and includes both a noise-canceling function and a mute control. The headset is not foldable, does not support wireless use, and weighs 322 g.

Pros
  • 50 mm neodymium magnet drivers with virtual surround sound support add depth to the audio experience during gaming sessions
  • Noise-canceling microphone with a mute function provides cleaner voice communication without needing a separate mic
  • 2 m tangle-free cable gives enough reach for desktop use without the frustration of knots or snarls
  • RGB lighting adds a visual element suited to gaming setups
  • Travel bag included in the box makes storing and transporting the headset more practical
  • Passive noise reduction through the closed-back over-ear design helps block out ambient sound during use
Cons
  • USB connectivity limits compatibility to PC only, with no support for consoles, mobile, or other devices
  • No wireless option means the user is always tethered to the source device by the cable
  • The cable is not detachable, so damage to it requires replacing the entire headset
  • At 322 g and non-foldable, the headset is not well-suited for travel or easy storage
  • No active noise cancellation, leaving users reliant solely on passive isolation from the ear cup design
Who is this for?

The Thunderobot H31 is well-suited to PC gamers who use a desktop setup and want a headset that covers both audio and voice communication without additional peripherals. The noise-canceling microphone with mute control makes it a practical choice for users who take part in online multiplayer sessions or voice chats, while the virtual surround sound and 50 mm neodymium drivers cater to those who want a more spatially aware audio experience during gameplay. The included travel bag and tangle-free cable also make it a reasonable fit for users who attend LAN events or need to transport their gear occasionally.

Who is this NOT for?

Users who want to connect their headset to consoles, smartphones, or other non-PC devices will find the USB PC-only connectivity a hard limitation. Those who prefer the freedom of wireless use or need to move around while wearing their headset will be restricted by the wired-only design. The non-foldable build at 322 g also makes it unsuitable for travel or commute use, and the absence of active noise cancellation means it will not satisfy users in particularly noisy environments who need more than passive isolation.

Final Verdict

The Thunderobot H31 is a purpose-built PC gaming headset that keeps its focus narrow and delivers where it matters for desktop use — particularly through its 50 mm neodymium drivers with virtual surround sound and a noise-canceling microphone that handles in-game communication reliably. The tangle-free cable, on-device controls, and included travel bag round out a feature set aimed at users who want a functional, no-fuss setup at their desk. Its wired USB-only connection and non-foldable build do limit how and where it can be used, making it a poor fit outside of a fixed PC environment. For users whose primary use case is PC gaming at a desk, the H31 covers the core bases without unnecessary complexity.
