The Madara Destruction headset from LEXIP will drive Manga fans crazy. This Naruto: Shippuden-inspired device has a distinctive finish and some impressive tech. Moreover, it is well-built, and it is extremely comfortable to wear. Accordingly, if you wish to stand out from the crowd, this is the product for you.
Alongside this, the audio quality is fantastic, and the detachable microphone ensures that you can use it for gaming and music while commuting. Furthermore, it is wonderfully versatile as it utilises Bluetooth and wired connectivity. However, it is restricted to the wired option when gaming on PlayStation and Xbox. This may be slightly disappointing for some, but it didn’t bother me or hinder me. Instead, I appreciated the plug-and-play approach and the aesthetics.

Technical aspects.
Though the Madara Destruction headset is jam-packed with modern tech, it is surprisingly simple. The 50mm drivers deliver an impressive range of tones and bass. Furthermore, the 5.1 Bluetooth functionality ensures a stable and low power-draw connection. This was important as no one wants their headset to run out of juice mid-session. However, if that were to happen, you could simply plug the device in and keep gaming to your heart’s content.
During testing, I was able to get around 20 hours of battery life whilst listening at 80% volume. Though this may not seem a high number, few gamers will exceed this limit. Moreover, the quick charge facility allows you to boost the battery life in around 2 hours. Alternatively, you can plug it in and forget the battery altogether.
The tactile buttons allow you to mute your microphone, power the device, and adjust the volume. Additionally, you can place the device in pairing mode. If you choose this option, a helpful voice talks you through each key moment. Consequently, you can’t go wrong when setting it up.
Audio quality.
I love an all-singing and all-dancing headset. Yet, one key aspect that cannot falter is the audio quality. Thankfully, the Madara Destruction headset delivers a hearty range of tones that will not disappoint. I tested the device with a range of genres and plenty of cinematic, and it never broke a sweat. Furthermore, I was able to identify the lower, mid, and higher tones and there was no sign of distortion or crackling when the volume was cranked up.
The bass line was just as impressive. Though it wasn’t overly strong, the bass never overpowered the other layers. Subsequently, this balanced approach was fantastic. I loved how easy it was to listen to the harshest genres without wincing. Moreover, the incremental volume helped to keep things on an even keel. Alongside this, the microphone quality was impressive. The gold-plated connections help to reduce static and unwanted interference. The result? No popping, crackling, or horrific echoed party talk.
Build quality.
The Madara Destruction headset won’t be everyone’s cup of tea. The distinctive details of the headband and the microphone are Manga-personified and will divide its audience. The detachable microphone has an impressive blue dragon’s head. This garish and outlandish design matches the theme. Moreover, this is complemented by the blue armoured plastic that connects the headband and the earcups.
These accents juxtapose the plum earcups and headband material. This rich choice of colours was bold but impressive. Accordingly, if you opt for this headset, you will stand out from your peers. Design choices to one side, the plump earcups and the breathable material are perfect for lengthy gaming sessions. What’s more, the padded headband reduces pressure on your head and ears. This lack of pressure will help if you wear prescription or gaming glasses.
Is the Madara Destruction headset worth it?
Available for around £80, this headset sits in the mid-range price point. Yet, it has some upper-level tech and it is a limited edition item. Additionally, if you love Naruto: Shippuden, this is a must-have gaming product. If you then consider the excellent audio, usability, compatibility, build quality, and unusual but eye-catching aesthetic, this is an outlandish product that is bold and unusual. Consequently, I love it and I recommend buying it here!
