How We Research
We compare products from their published specs and features; the verdicts below are our independent editorial opinions.
If you want a headset that works with virtually every console you already own and stays comfortable over long sessions, choose 4Gamers C6-100; if you need an in-ear set with a detachable mic and a USB-C connection for PC, laptop and mobile, choose FASTER GH-1C.
• 4Gamers C6-100 — biggest strength: a 3.5mm jack that plugs into Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, PC, mobile and tablet, with a flexible boom mic and on-cable volume and mute controls.
• 4Gamers C6-100 — biggest trade-off: it's a wired over-ear design with passive noise cancellation only, so it blocks some ambient sound but doesn't actively cancel noise, and the 1.5m cable tethers you to your device.
• FASTER GH-1C — biggest strength: a lightweight in-ear build with a detachable mic, three sizes of ear tips and a 10mm dynamic driver tuned for directional gaming audio.
• FASTER GH-1C — biggest trade-off: it connects over USB-C only, so older consoles and any device without a USB-C port are out of the question.
• Who each pick is for: the 4Gamers C6-100 suits a multi-console household that wants one over-ear headset for everything; the FASTER GH-1C suits a PC, laptop or USB-C mobile player who wants something small, light and easy to carry.
The C6-100 is the "one headset for the whole shelf" option. Its 3.5mm jack is the point: it works with Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, PC, mobile and tablet. If your setup changes from the couch to the desk to a handheld, you're not hunting for a different headset each time. The flexible boom mic can be positioned where you want it, and volume plus mute sit on the cable within easy reach, so you can cut yourself off mid-sentence without digging through menus.
Comfort is clearly the design priority here. The headband is fully adjustable, the frame is lightweight, and the over-ear cups use soft foam cushioning with leatherette covering to help seal out distractions. At roughly 0.31 kg it isn't going to feel like a helmet, and the slim frame is built to avoid the clamping and slipping that make long sessions annoying. The 30-ohm impedance and dynamic driver are modest, undemanding specs — the kind that pair fine with a standard controller jack or motherboard output without needing a separate amp.
Who should buy it: anyone who plays across several platforms, wants an over-ear fit for marathon sessions, and values simple plug-and-play over extra features. Who should skip it: if you mostly play on a USB-C-only device, if you want the smallest possible kit in a bag, or if you need active noise cancellation — this is passive isolation, not ANC. Check the current price on Amazon before deciding, since value is the one thing specs can't tell you.
The GH-1C goes the other direction entirely: in-ear, compact, and built around a USB-C plug. The 10mm dynamic driver is the headline spec, and the tuning is described as game-first — tight bass, clear mids, sharp highs, with directional stereo imaging so footsteps and positional cues come through. The rest of the audio figures back that up: 32-ohm impedance, 103 dB sensitivity, and a 20Hz–20kHz frequency response. High sensitivity means it's easy to drive from a phone or laptop without pushing the volume to the ceiling.
The practical details are what make it a travel-friendly pick. The 4.2 ft (1.3m) cable gives you room to move without dragging, the angled ear tips are shaped to stay put during intense moments, and you get small, medium and large tips in the box so you can actually get a seal that fits your ears. The mic is detachable, which is a genuinely useful touch — leave it on for team chat, pull it off when you're just listening. The bold red finish is a deliberate style choice, and the lightweight build plus soft tips are aimed at all-day wear, workouts and commutes, not just desk duty.
Who should buy it: PC and laptop players, USB-C phone and tablet users, and anyone who wants a set that disappears into a pocket. Who should skip it: if your main rig is an older Xbox or a PS4 with no USB-C port, or if you simply prefer the feel of over-ear cups, this isn't the one. As with any wired set, confirm the current price on Amazon before you commit.
Side-by-Side: Which Should You Choose?
• Best for multi-console compatibility → 4Gamers C6-100. A 3.5mm jack covers Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, PC and mobile; the GH-1C's USB-C plug does not.
• Best for long-session comfort → 4Gamers C6-100. Over-ear leatherette cups, a cushioned foam headband and a lightweight slim frame are built for hours of wear.
• Best for portability → FASTER GH-1C. In-ear design, 4.2 ft cable, three tip sizes and a detachable mic make it the easier one to carry.
• Best for mic flexibility → FASTER GH-1C. A detachable boom means you can strip it down for music or calls; the C6-100's mic is fixed but easily positioned.
• Best for quick in-game control → 4Gamers C6-100. Volume and mute sit on the cable as a remote, so you're not reaching for on-screen menus.
• Best for blocking out a noisy room → 4Gamers C6-100. Over-ear cups with passive noise cancellation will seal out more ambient sound than in-ear tips alone.
• Best for plugging into a phone or tablet → FASTER GH-1C if your device is USB-C; 4Gamers C6-100 if it still has a headphone jack.
If I had to pick one, I'd buy the 4Gamers C6-100. In my opinion, the 3.5mm jack is the deciding factor — it's the one connection that still works across Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, PC and mobile, so it survives a platform change without becoming a drawer ornament. The over-ear cushioning and adjustable headband also suit the way most people actually play: long sessions where comfort matters more than portability. I'd only switch to the FASTER GH-1C if my gaming life revolved around a USB-C laptop or phone and I wanted something I could fold away and forget. That's a real use case — just a narrower one.
FAQ
Not universally — they solve different problems. The C6-100 wins on platform compatibility and over-ear comfort; the GH-1C wins on portability, a detachable mic and USB-C convenience. Pick based on your main device and preferred fit.
Yes. The 4Gamers C6-100 has a flexible boom mic with volume and mute controls on the cable. The FASTER GH-1C has a detachable microphone, so you can remove it when you don't need chat.
The 4Gamers C6-100 lists Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4 and PS5 support via its 3.5mm jack. The FASTER GH-1C uses USB-C and is listed for PC, laptop, PS5, Xbox, Android and iPhone — so check that your specific console or controller offers a USB-C port before choosing it.
The 4Gamers C6-100 is the safer bet for marathon sessions, with over-ear leatherette cushions, an adjustable headband and a lightweight frame. The FASTER GH-1C is lighter overall and ships with three ear-tip sizes, which helps, but in-ear sets depend heavily on getting the right seal.
