How We Research
We compare products from their published specs and features; the verdicts below are our independent editorial opinions.
If you want a complete wired gaming headset you can unbox, plug into a 3.5 mm jack and start using for streaming right away, choose Lenovo H110; if you need a USB-C to USB-C replacement cable to keep a SteelSeries Arctis Nova headset or an EMEET Piko 4K webcam running through long streaming sessions, choose Hizsoaor USB C. These two products get compared because they both show up in "gaming headphones for streaming" searches, but they are not competitors in any real sense — one is the thing you wear on your head, the other is the cord that keeps your existing gear alive.
• Lenovo H110 — biggest strength: A complete over-ear headset with 50 mm dynamic drivers, an omnidirectional boom mic and on-cable volume and mute controls, all over a 3.5 mm wired connection.
• Lenovo H110 — biggest trade-off: It is wired only, with no noise cancellation and no wireless freedom, so you are tethered to whatever you plug into.
• Hizsoaor USB C — biggest strength: A 6.6 ft braided nylon USB-C to USB-C cable with power delivery and data support, built as a direct replacement for SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3 / Nova 7 / Nova Pro headsets and the EMEET Piko 4K webcam.
• Hizsoaor USB C — biggest trade-off: It is a cable, not a headset. It makes no sound on its own and only helps if you already own compatible USB-C gear.
• Who each pick is for: Lenovo H110 for someone who needs a working headset today for chat and streaming commentary. Hizsoaor USB C for someone whose Arctis Nova or Piko webcam cable has frayed, or who wants a spare before a long stream.
The H110 is Lenovo's straightforward answer to the question "what do I put on my head to talk to people while I play?" It is an over-ear wired headset in black, with a matte finish and a flexible frame that pads the inside for a secure fit across different head sizes. The ear cups rotate and sit over the ear with plush foam under breathable leatherette. At roughly 0.41 kg it is not a featherweight, but the padding and rotating cups are clearly designed around the idea that you will wear it for hours at a time — which is exactly what streaming demands.
The audio side is where it earns its place. The 50 mm dynamic drivers cover a 20Hz–20,000Hz range at 32 ohm impedance, which is an easy load for a controller, phone, laptop or motherboard jack to drive. In practice that spec sheet points to a headset that can render footsteps, gunfire and background music with enough separation to be useful in a game, and enough body to make your own voice monitoring tolerable. The omnidirectional microphone is the streaming-relevant part: it captures voice from around the mic rather than demanding you speak directly into a pinpoint capsule, and it swivels to store flat against the headset when you are done. The slide-to-mute control means you can cut your mic instantly mid-stream without alt-tabbing into software, and the inline volume wheel lets you ride your own levels on the fly. The 1.8 m tangle-free braided cable gives you real slack between your head and your PC.
Who should buy it: anyone starting a stream on a budget who needs a single purchase that covers listening, talking and muting; anyone gaming on a console or handheld with a 3.5 mm jack; anyone who prefers a wired signal because it never needs charging and never drops out. Who should skip it: if you want wireless, if you need active noise cancellation for a noisy room, or if you already own a premium USB-C headset and only need a cable — the H110 is not a cable and will not fix that problem. It is also worth being honest about the mic: omnidirectional capsules pick up keyboard clatter and room noise more readily than a tight cardioid mic, so a noisy mechanical keyboard will be audible to your audience.
The Hizsoaor cable is a very specific tool, and it is worth understanding exactly how narrow that niche is before you buy. It is a 6.6 ft USB-C to USB-C cord in green, wrapped in braided nylon with reinforced connectors, sold as a replacement or backup for SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3, Nova 7 and Arctis Nova Pro gaming headsets. It also carries power and data for the EMEET Piko 4K webcam, which is the streaming angle: a webcam that stutters or drops out mid-broadcast because of a marginal cable is a genuinely bad night, and a spare fixes it instantly.
The feature set is all about surviving daily abuse. Braided nylon resists the fraying that kills cheap rubber cables, the connectors are reinforced, and the cord is described as tangle-free and bend-resistant. It supports power delivery for charging and handles data transmission for file transfers and firmware updates, so you can update your headset or webcam without hunting for a second cable. There is no driver, no software and no setup — plug one end into your PC or laptop and the other into your device. Outside the headset and webcam use cases, it works with USB-C PCs, laptops, wall chargers and power banks, so it doubles as a general charging cable when it is not doing audio duty.
One thing to be clear about: the connector is listed as a male-to-male AUX-type connector, and the product is categorized as a charging cable with audio compatibility, meaning it is meant for devices that accept audio and power over USB-C — specifically the SteelSeries Nova family and similar USB-C audio hardware. Do not assume it will turn a 3.5 mm analogue headset into a USB-C headset, because it will not.
Side-by-Side: Which Should You Choose?
• Need a complete headset for streaming commentary → Lenovo H110. It is the only one of the two that produces sound and captures voice.
• Already own a SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3, Nova 7 or Nova Pro → Hizsoaor USB C. It is explicitly built as a replacement cord for those models.
• Run an EMEET Piko 4K webcam → Hizsoaor USB C. The cable is designed to carry steady power and data for that camera.
• Best for long, comfortable sessions → Lenovo H110. Lightweight build, plush foam and breathable leatherette with rotating over-ear cups.
• Best for durability under daily abuse → Hizsoaor USB C. Braided nylon, reinforced connectors and a bend-resistant, tangle-free design.
• Best for instant mute and volume control mid-stream → Lenovo H110. The slide-to-mute switch and inline volume wheel sit on the cable.
• Best for travel and packing → Hizsoaor USB C. A 6.6 ft braided cord takes up almost no space; the H110's swivel-to-store mic is the next best thing.
• Best for a setup that never needs charging → Lenovo H110. It runs off the 3.5 mm jack with no battery at all.
In my opinion, most people searching this comparison should buy the Lenovo H110, because it is a finished product that solves the actual problem: listening, talking and muting during a game or stream, out of the box, over a connection that never needs charging. The Hizsoaor USB C cable is excellent at what it does, but it only matters if you already own the specific USB-C gear it was made for — and if you do, you probably already know it. Buy the H110 if you need headphones. Buy the Hizsoaor cable if you need to rescue a headset or webcam you already love. Check the current price on Amazon before deciding, since both sit in very different budget brackets.
Yes, in my opinion it covers the streaming basics: 50 mm drivers for monitoring game audio, an omnidirectional mic that swivels to store, a slide-to-mute switch and an inline volume wheel. It is wired over 3.5 mm, so there is no latency or battery to manage.
Only if your headset is a USB-C audio device — it is built for SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3, Nova 7 and Arctis Nova Pro, plus the EMEET Piko 4K webcam. It will not convert a 3.5 mm analogue headset into a USB-C one.
No. They do completely different jobs. The H110 is a headset; the Hizsoaor cable is a replacement cord. Buying both only makes sense if you own an Arctis Nova headset and also want a separate wired headset as a backup.
They are not comparable on value because they are different product categories. Judge the H110 as a headset and the Hizsoaor cable as a spare part — and check the current price on Amazon for each before you commit.
