How We Research
We compare products from their published specs and features; the verdicts below are our independent editorial opinions.
If you want one device that handles both your voice and your listening for calls and classes, choose JIAMQISHI USB Headset; if you need a dedicated broadcast-quality mic for streaming, podcasting or gaming commentary, choose ONIKUMA GAMING USB Microphone.
• JIAMQISHI USB Headset — biggest strength: a complete two-way audio setup in one wired package, with a 270° unidirectional boom mic, 40mm dynamic drivers and in-line volume, mic mute and speaker mute controls.
• JIAMQISHI USB Headset — biggest trade-off: it's a wired, on-ear headset, so you're tethered to your device and it isn't built for studio-grade recording or RGB showmanship.
• ONIKUMA GAMING USB Microphone — biggest strength: a full plug-and-play recording kit — condenser capsule, noise reduction, reverb adjustment, monitoring, RGB lighting, boom arm, shock mount and pop filter all included.
• ONIKUMA GAMING USB Microphone — biggest trade-off: it captures sound only. There's no headphone driver here, so you still need separate headphones or speakers to hear anything.
• Pick JIAMQISHI USB Headset if you mainly talk and listen — home office, online classes, Zoom, call centre, webinars.
• Pick ONIKUMA GAMING USB Microphone if your voice is the product — streaming, podcasting, Discord, YouTube, voiceovers.
The JIAMQISHI EH01 is built around one idea: you should be able to talk and listen without buying two things. It's an on-ear wired headset with a boom microphone that rotates through 270°, so you can park it on whichever side suits you — left ear or right. The mic is unidirectional, which in plain terms means it's designed to favour the sound coming from your mouth and reject what's happening around you. In an open office or a house with other people in it, that's the difference between being understood and being asked to repeat yourself.
Comfort is clearly the second design priority. The earcups use soft protein memory foam with breathable materials, and the headband is adjustable to fit both adults and kids. Anyone who has worn a stiff headset through a three-hour training session knows why this matters — the goal here is a fit that doesn't build pressure over a long day. Audio runs through a 40mm dynamic driver with a 20Hz–20,000Hz frequency range and a built-in sound card, which is a sensible spec for speech, music and video rather than critical listening.
Buy it if you spend your day in calls, classes, webinars or customer conversations and want one wired device that does both jobs. Skip it if you need a microphone for recording content, or you want a wireless setup — this is a corded, on-ear design, and that's the whole point of it.
ONIKUMA GAMING USB Microphone: Who It's For
The ONIKUMA M530 is the opposite kind of product: it does one job and brings a full kit to do it. At its core is a condenser microphone with a capacitive capsule aimed at capturing vocal detail, plus a noise-reduction mode you switch on to push down keyboard clatter, fan hum and room noise. If you've ever had viewers complain about a mechanical keyboard in the background, that feature is aimed squarely at you. There's also reverb adjustment, which lets you add a bit of space to your voice for a more produced sound, and monitoring so you can hear yourself while you talk.
The control layout is refreshingly physical. A single tactile knob handles mute and unmute, so you can kill your mic instantly mid-game without hunting through software. The same knob family handles the RGB lighting, which you can tune in colour and effect through a dedicated control — a small thing, but it's the kind of detail that makes a mic feel like part of a setup rather than a peripheral.
What makes this box worth considering is that nothing is missing. It ships with a boom arm, a desk clamp, a built-in shock mount and a removable pop filter. The boom arm gets the mic off your desk and close to your mouth, the clamp keeps it secure without drilling anything, the shock mount cuts handling vibration, and the pop filter softens plosives and breath noise. That's the standard chain serious streamers build piece by piece — here it arrives assembled. The body is metal, it weighs around 0.81kg as a kit, and it runs on USB with no drivers, working with Windows, macOS and PS4/PS5. ONIKUMA also lists a two-year warranty.
Buy it if your voice is the content — streaming on Twitch or YouTube, podcasting, Discord and TeamSpeak comms, voiceovers or online meetings where you want to sound deliberate. Skip it if you also need to hear your audio; there's no headphone output here, so you'll be pairing it with separate headphones or speakers.
• Best for listening and talking in one device → JIAMQISHI USB Headset. The ONIKUMA has no earphone at all.
• Best for recording or streaming your voice → ONIKUMA GAMING USB Microphone. A dedicated condenser capsule beats a headset boom for content.
• Best for home office, classes and Zoom → JIAMQISHI USB Headset. In-line volume, mic mute and speaker mute with indicator lights cover the whole meeting.
• Best for a complete out-of-the-box studio setup → ONIKUMA GAMING USB Microphone. Boom arm, clamp, shock mount and pop filter are included.
• Best for device flexibility → JIAMQISHI USB Headset. USB plus 3.5mm covers PC, Mac, tablets, phones and consoles with an aux port; the ONIKUMA is USB-only.
• Best for quiet keyboard and fan noise → ONIKUMA GAMING USB Microphone. Switchable noise reduction plus a shock mount and pop filter attack the problem from three angles.
• Best for long-session comfort → JIAMQISHI USB Headset. Adjustable headband, breathable memory-foam earcups, on-ear fit sized for adults and kids.
• Best for a visual setup → ONIKUMA GAMING USB Microphone. Adjustable RGB lighting is part of the package; the JIAMQISHI is a plain apricot office headset.
In my opinion, these two aren't really competing — they solve different problems, and the right answer comes down to whether your voice is a cost of doing business or the actual product. If I were outfitting a desk for work, study or calls, I'd buy the JIAMQISHI USB Headset: one cable, both directions of audio, mute controls you can see, and a two-year warranty. If I were building a streaming or podcast setup, I'd buy the ONIKUMA GAMING USB Microphone, because the included boom arm, shock mount and pop filter get you to a credible recording chain without buying four separate pieces. Buy both only if you genuinely need to listen critically and record — otherwise pick the one that matches your day.
It can handle voice chat fine, thanks to the unidirectional boom mic and 40mm drivers. But it's an office-oriented on-ear headset, so for recorded or broadcast content the ONIKUMA's condenser capsule and included boom arm are the better fit.
Yes. It's USB plug-and-play with no drivers, listed as compatible with Windows, macOS and PS4/PS5. It's also USB Type-C on the connector, so check what ports your machine has before you commit.
The JIAMQISHI USB Headset. You get the mic and the earphones in one wired unit, plus in-line volume, mic mute and speaker mute with indicator lights — exactly what a Zoom or webinar day needs. The ONIKUMA gives you no way to hear the call.
