Lexip Sasuke Revenge Naruto Shippuden Review

Naruto is the only anime I watched from its debut on Toonami to the end of the series. I watched every episode, including fillers. I went through crazy transformations, plot twists, plot armor, and deaths. But honestly, it’s more painful to wear a Sasuke Revenge headset than any death in Naruto Shippuden.

Design wise, the Lexip Sasuke Revenge Headset looks spotless. Its purple design reflects Sasuke’s Susanoo. Susanoo is something that only the Uchiha clan can do, and Sasuke is the only survivor. Susanoo is a giant form that surrounds its users and fights for them. It can only be summoned after unlocking the Mangekyo Sharingan. Mangekyo is the next level of the eye jutsu that only the Uchiha clan possesses, the Sharingan. I could list all the jutsu in Naruto or we could go back to the headset. Naruto ran for 15 years and Shippuden for 10 of those years, and I could go on for days. Just try it.

Either way, the entire headset is designed to look like Sasuke’s Susanoo. The Mangekyo Sharingan is placed inside the headset to complement the Susanoo design. The Sharingan rests on a padded foam with stretchable material. It looks like a bean bag. Just above the ear cups are molds that reflect Susanoo’s armor.

The ear cups are oval with a purple LED ring running along the outside. A PU leather cushion hugs the ears. There’s not a lot of room in the ear cups, but they’re airy. I’m no Dumbo, but I can only imagine someone with sensory sensitivities feeling the pressure of the headset on their ears and feeling the cushion touch the top of their ears and earlobe. Horizontally, it’s not very malleable. Vertically, the headset can be adjusted, revealing a purple track with grooves.

The hidden Sauske leaf with the famed line in the middle is placed on the top of the headset and adds to the show of authenticity. The matte finish of the headset makes it elegant but not slippery.

The detachable microphone is a 1.8mm plug with a mold that mirrors Susanoo’s mask. This mold is intricate, meaning it is incredibly piercing. It is so piercing that the user can initiate a summoning jutsu by pricking their finger with the mask. The microphone features an intricate Mangekyo Sharingan detail. Until then, the word Susanoo will be put aside. It is barely used in Boruto.

Connectivity leaves much to be desired. Most headsets are plug-and-play. The Sasuke Revenge headset is more like Sasuke—solid to utilize. The headset has two buttons, two inputs, one knob, and one airy for Bluetooth detection.

The input on the left side of the headset is for the detachable microphone. The remaining buttons, a dial, and an input are on the right. Starting from the top, the first button is mute. The second button is for power on and off. It also serves as a play and pause button. The dial below is for volume, the USB-C input is for connecting the charging cable, and Bluetooth detection is next to the input.

Okay, it’s piercing in both looks and feel. How does it sound? The sound quality is jutsu gen (okay, enough Naruto-ing! – Ed). Music sounds average at first. It’s like the highs are too high in the equalizer settings. When listening to music, watching anime, or on Discord, voices sound low. During my jam sessions, the headphones vibrate, giving the impression of bass, but it’s missing in the sound output.

Before wireless speakers and headphones became popular, I think people would crank up the volume on their phones, take them out, and let the music reverberate in their skulls. Barely reaching one decibel. That’s pretty much what Sasuke Revenge headphones sound like: frail. I can’t dance to Nelly’s Country Grammar with these. And the microphone settings are of the same questionable quality.

The headset is both wireless and wired. There are two types of USB-C cables in the box. One is USB-C to USB-A. The other is USB-C to 3.5mm headphone jack. The first cable is for charging. The second is supposed to allow you to utilize the headset when it’s dead, though oddly only on consoles, not on a PC, which is supposedly wireless. And honestly, I couldn’t get the headphones to work with a USB-C to 3.5mm jack, and neither plugging them into the Line Out port nor the Microphone port worked with my PC. Unlike the Logitech G733, you can’t utilize them while charging. When you run out of battery, grab a spare. An LED on the ear cups lets you know it’s on, turning off immediately when you plug in the charger or AUX cable.

This headset is part of Lexip’s Sasuke-themed bundle, which includes a mouse, mouse pad and controller. The whole bundle costs £250, with the headset alone costing £90. It’s a European thing for now, but considering that Lexip Naruto Mouse Pads are available on Amazon for my American folks, I wouldn’t be surprised if this purple wonder appeared on Bezos’ shelves. Although you’d have to be a die-hard Naruto fan to get any enjoyment out of this headset.

Overall, the headset is lightweight, sleek, and stylish. However, I I am I’m a die-hard Naruto fan and even I can’t shake this thing that stabs me every time I reach for my headphones. It stabs me at least twice a day; once when I put them on and once when I take them off. That’s too many times. The sound quality is okay and I guess I like the Sasuke Revenge headphones as a collectible, but they’re too punishing to wear.
