Product Information

The Edifier HECATE G2 II aren’t exactly bright and colorful unlike some of the headphones in this list. These headphones’ LED lights are limited only to the HECATE logo on the ear cups. And, although they can change to 16.8 Million colors, the lights are limited only to a breathing effect. Cat ear headphones sold today can come in wireless or wired connectivity, and each one has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Cat ear headphones trace their roots to the Japanese concept of Nekomimi . This is a type of moe anthropomorphism in Japanese anime or manga where human characters are given cat-like qualities. This includes sharp teeth, feline tails, and, yes, cat ears. It was started in 1924 by a novelist and children’s literature author named Kenji Miyazawa. The controls are also not half bad, there is an inline controller, and it includes a volume control knob, mute button, and two buttons to switch between the preset LED lights configurations. For most gaming/streaming situations, I think this will do a decent job. Other features include a massive 48-hour battery and soft PU leather ear paddings that provide passive noise cancellation. They also have 40mm drivers and 7.1 surround sound so they’re not just cute but powerful and immersive as well.

Cat Ear Headphones Buying Guide

These external speakers allow you have your music heard in the nearby vicinity, which is a nice feature to have, especially when you want to take off your headphones and still listen to music. Additionally, these external speakers operate independently of the speakers in the earcups on the headphones, so you can listen to the external speakers and earcups separately or together. The majority of the space on the outer part of the earcups is occupied by the LED light panel. Speaking of LEDs, the G951 only has a breathing light effect and nothing more. The mic is a simple built-in microphone that does not have any special qualities like noise cancellation. Also, at 1.01 lbs (460g), heavy is an understatement for these headphones. This weight can cause a little discomfort which is really to be expected when you’re wearing loudspeakers on your head.

The OG of all cat ear headphones. Without the help of Brookstone, we will never know if the cat ear headphones market is valid. They can also connect through a USB to Type-C connection— making them great also for PC and laptop users. Although, the built-in mic is not the best one out there so call audio can be a little sketchy. Unfortunately, these headphones may be physically durable but that’s just about it. The sound isn’t very good and is quite soft also. As on-ears,ear cups are also small compared to over-ears. So, despite featuring protein leather paddings, the ear cups are more likely to squeeze the sensitive parts of the ears and cause pain. My favorite aspects of this cat ear headphone are the affordable price tag, USB functionality, and sturdy design. It’s one of the best cat ear headphones out there and one that very much requires your consideration.

Other than clarity and accuracy, some special features can also make the sound quality and overall listening experience better. Watch out for features such as Surround Sound, Volume Limits, and Noise Cancellation. Let’s go over them one by one! Surround Sound With wired headphones, you also wouldn’t need to worry about battery life. Plus, you can easily fix broken wires at home. The absence of noise cancellation, passive or active, puts a dent in these headphones’ quality. In fact, you can even experience sound leaks with these. Overall, they are great budget alternatives to the Razer Kitty headphones because of their similarities in look and sound, but they are still leagues away from each other overall. Along with the Bluetooth capabilities for wireless listening, the external speakers are also a very nice feature. You can listen to your music in the headphones, turn on the external speakers in the cat ears, or play music in the headphones and in the external cat ear speakers at the same time! The external speakers are not very loud, so don't expect to use them to add music to a big party or anything. For me, the external speakers are the perfect volume for when I just need to hear a little music and I don't want to wear the headphones.

Adjustability enables users to have a chance at a comfortable listening experience. The more adjustable the headphones are, the higher the chances that you would find a comfortable combination of settings. What I like most about these wireless headphones is the RGB customization. There is full freedom to set up your own colors on the ear cups and cat ears as long as you figure out how to set up the mobile app. (The instructions and mobile app is written in Chinese.) Clarity refers to how much detail you could hear through the headphones. Good clear headphones will help you hear every syllable of the vocals and every sound made by the instruments properly. For cat ear headphones, design is the priority and sound quality is only second to that. But, that doesn’t mean that you should go and buy anything that’s a sorry excuse for headphones — sound-wise. These YOWU RGB Bluetooth headphones are a decent mid-range pair of kitty headphones. When you are buying cat ear headphones, this is one of the first results that will pop up.The headphones’ LED lights are on the cat ears themselves with a music sync effect. The LED lights can easily be turned on or off through the on-ear controls on the left earcup. Unfortunately, the music sync effect is the only effect you’re getting with the CT-7S. Wired headphones tend to provide higher sound quality than wireless ones. This is because manufacturers of wired headphones can allot more budget to developing sound quality without thinking about spending for wireless technology. Furthermore, wired headphones use analog signals that can handle more data than digital signals like Bluetooth.
