How We Research
We compare products from their published specs and features; the verdicts below are our independent editorial opinions.
If you want a kid-friendly, pink, over-ear gaming headset for console and school use, choose BUTFULAKE Gaming Headset; if you need a lightweight single-ear headset for chat, calls and remote work, choose Joso One Ear Headset.
• BUTFULAKE Gaming Headset — biggest strength: Full over-ear stereo with a 50mm dynamic driver, passive noise isolation and a 225g ultralight build, in a bright pink finish aimed at kids and casual console gamers.
• BUTFULAKE Gaming Headset — biggest trade-off: It is a wired, single-purpose headset with no USB or USB-C adapter in the box, so PC use depends on the included Y splitter and the mic is fixed to the headset rather than bendable.
• Joso One Ear Headset — biggest strength: One-ear design that keeps your other ear open, plus a bendable mic, in-line volume and mute, and USB-A and USB-C adapters for laptops, tablets and phones.
• Joso One Ear Headset — biggest trade-off: You only get mono audio to one ear, the fit is left-ear only, and the 20Hz–2000Hz frequency range is tuned for voice, not for immersive game sound.
• Who each is for: BUTFULAKE for kids, teens and casual PS5/PS4/Xbox/Switch players who want a full headset; Joso for chat, office, call-centre, coaching and remote-work users who need one ear free.
The BUTFULAKE Gaming Headset is built around one idea: give younger players a full over-ear headset that works with almost anything they already own. It runs on a standard 3.5mm jack, so it plugs into PS5, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox One S/X, Nintendo Switch, laptop, PSP, tablet, PC and phones. For a PC you use the included Y splitter adapter, which separates the mic and audio signals. The 50mm dynamic driver handles a 20Hz–20,000Hz range, and the passive noise cancellation is a physical seal rather than electronics — it blocks some background noise simply by covering the ear.
The comfort story is the part that matters for kids. At 225g it is genuinely light, and the earmuffs tilt about 15° up and down on an adjustable over-ear frame, which the design uses to suit different head shapes and ages. The protein padding is described as breathable, which is the practical answer to sweaty ears during long sessions. The mic is a soft rubber anti-static design on the headset itself, and volume is handled by a touch control on the headphone.
Who should buy it: parents buying school or gaming headphones for a child, teens who want a pink over-ear set, and anyone who wants one wired headset that moves between a console controller and a PC. Who should skip it: adults who want a discreet single-ear headset for calls, anyone who needs USB or USB-C connectivity out of the box, and players who want a bendable boom mic they can position right at their mouth. If you play on an older Xbox One, note that this needs a separate Microsoft adapter, which is not included.
The Joso One Ear Headset takes the opposite approach. It is a unilateral (one-ear) wired headset designed for left-ear use only, so your right ear stays open to the room. That is exactly what you want for office work, coaching, remote meetings or a call centre, where hearing your own voice and your surroundings matters as much as hearing the other person. Joso lists it for business, UC, Skype, Lync, softphone, call centre, office and online class use in addition to gaming.
The practical details are all about control. There is an in-line volume slider and a mic mute button right on the cable, so you are not reaching for software. The high-sensitivity mic bends to roughly 120°, which lets you aim it at your mouth instead of hoping it picks you up. The 40mm dynamic driver, 32 ohm impedance and 105dB sensitivity make it easy to drive from a controller or a laptop jack, and the frequency range of 20Hz–2000Hz is clearly voiced for speech rather than deep game audio. Joso also includes USB-A and USB-C adapters, so the same headset works on desktops, laptops, tablets and phones without hunting for a dongle.
Comfort and build are sensible rather than flashy: soft faux-leather ear cushions, an adjustable ergonomic headband, and a 5.91ft braided cable that resists tangling. At 0.1kg it is very light. Note that it does not work with older Xbox One controllers, and the console connection needs a one-time setup.
Who should buy it: remote workers, support agents, coaches, students in online classes, and gamers who only need party chat and prefer one ear open. Who should skip it: anyone who wants full stereo immersion, right-ear wearers, and kids who want a colourful over-ear headset for console gaming.
• Best for kids and school use → BUTFULAKE Gaming Headset. 225g, adjustable over-ear fit, pink finish, and a design aimed at younger heads.
• Best for work, calls and remote meetings → Joso One Ear Headset. One ear open, in-line mute, bendable mic, and a purpose-built office/softphone feature list.
• Best for immersive stereo gaming → BUTFULAKE Gaming Headset. Two over-ear cups with a 50mm driver and 20Hz–20,000Hz range versus Joso's single-ear 40mm driver and 20Hz–2000Hz voice tuning.
• Best for connectivity flexibility → Joso One Ear Headset. It ships with both USB-A and USB-C adapters; BUTFULAKE relies on a 3.5mm jack plus a Y splitter for PC.
• Best for keeping an ear on your surroundings → Joso One Ear Headset. The unilateral design deliberately leaves one ear uncovered.
• Best for long sessions without ear fatigue → Joso One Ear Headset. 0.1kg on one ear, breathable protein-leather cushions and a braided cable that stays tidy.
• Best for PC gaming with a mic → BUTFULAKE Gaming Headset. The included Y splitter splits mic and audio for computer use; Joso's adapters are aimed more at laptops, tablets and phones.
• Best for a gift or a matching pink setup → BUTFULAKE Gaming Headset. The colour and over-ear styling are the point here, not just the specs.
In my opinion, the right pick comes down to one question: do you need both ears covered, or one ear free? If you are buying for a child, a teen, or a casual console player who wants a proper over-ear stereo headset for games and school, I would buy the BUTFULAKE Gaming Headset. The 225g build, adjustable earmuffs, 50mm driver and wide device support make it the more natural fit for that buyer.
If you are an adult buying for work — calls, meetings, coaching or online classes — or you simply want to hear the room while you chat, I would buy the Joso One Ear Headset. The single-ear design, bendable mic, in-line mute and USB-A/USB-C adapters are the features that matter in that life, and no amount of stereo sound replaces them.
