Fit, Comfort & Isolation
Yes, it is comfortable to wear Molotov-5 for long hour. Thanks to well cushioned headband and soft ear pads. Just adjust the headband height to get the perfect fit. As for isolation, it is average just like other on-ear headphones. You can hear some environment noises and others can hear what you listen too (if play too loud). Well, this is a common issue for on-ear earphones. Not a big deal here. On the bright side, you can use it to listen music while lying on bed but can’t with over the ear ones that have better isolation.

Performance Result
Molotov-5 is my very first gaming headset. How does it sound compare to other normal headphones? In short, Molotov-5 sound signature is focusing more on bass rather than treble as supreme bass power is one of its features. Therefore, you get soften treble in this case. Overall, the sound quality is good at this price point. And it is easy to drive its 32 Ohm impedance on mobile devices. More than enough on PC. Yup, just plug it to your smartphone or tablet and start to enjoy its 40mm studio gaming drivers. By the way, don’t limit it on gaming only, Molotov-5 can be used on music and movie as well.
