Edit after replacement unit came : In comparison to cosmic byte equinox Europa 7.1 the 7.1 lacks as the software is just bad while the hardware of headphones is pretty good
Quality of drivers: 8.5/10( as single driver in each ear cup where as u get dual drivers in each ear cup in Europa 7.1 at almost 1k lower price )
Design & build : 10/10
Software : 3/10 ( the software makes this amazing headphones a decent enough headphones)
Mic : 9/10
Inline control : 6/10 (the inline control buttons don’t have rgb or any light on them so can’t tell if 7.1 is on or not without pressing it )
I don’t why cosmic byte did this but they have so good software on previous headphones but this software doesn’t have xear7.1 or you can’t even adjust RGB with software . Trust me if software was even as the same as previous Europa 7.1 this headphone will literally beat any headphone under 5k segment but the software really brings it down
Another con is that you can’t switch to studio 24bit quality in Windows sound settings as the quality and sample rate is locked at 16 bit
The replacement unit is way better as no buzzing noise when headphones don’t have anything playing and before on my previous unit the 7.1 was just so bad it used to distort everything but on this it works decent
Idk what’s wrong is it just my unit or people haven’t noticed it but when on high volume and there’s nothing playing then a buzzing noise can be heard clearly (buzzing feels like there’s a mosquito in my headphones) I hope the replacement unit works better and I don’t face any issue

I have used it for a 4-5days and then returned the product because of some flaws.
Cons: 1. Heavy. Seriously it is. 2. Poor lows. There’s bass but its not at all good. Highs are bit boosted. 3. Poor mic. Yes you read it right. Tho its a unidirectional mic the pickup range is very minimal. It has to be right next to your mouth. I even maxed out the mic volume but it was not very good considering the price point. 4. You can either use the in line controler to mute unmute or use virtual surround sound or in the software. If you use both, it will screw up. If you turn on virtual surround sound from both software and controler, it will turn it on twice. Very basic thing but this is stupidity from Cosmic Byte. 5. software is kind of ok. Not much you can control from software. It has EQ but it has very less frequency bands which results in bad sound tuning. 6. Dolby Atmos support is missing even at this price. 7. Ear cup Cushions are ok. You will feel a bit pressure and heat around ear.
Pros: 1. Design and build quality is very good. It looks premium. 2. Wire is detachable so that’s a plus point.

This is my replacement product and now I have faced that hissing or electric sound in left part of this headphone.. this only happens when you connect to USB + (double click breathing lighting) like mosquitoes.. very annoying.. this same issue I have face in my first product then I replaced.. now I got that faulty device again..😭 so bad.. I think it’s a problem with this headphone of cosmic byte.. Definitely going to return this now.. after some more test for more review. I am saying truth don’t take me wrong.. please cosmic byte it’s a humble request pls fix this issue in your upcoming phobos headphones.. because it’s totally a manufacturing defect.
Other then this.. mic noise cancellation is not upto the mark.. and mic quality again not so good.. going to return this now.. no more phobos..pls..🙏
And one more important point.. that it’s shown on the page that it will be sold by electronic bazar store but now showing on product detail that it is sold by “Kay Kay Overseas Corporation” what is that..?
And for my both the orders i did not recieved Amazon packaging.. only a headphone box which is only what I have recieved from the seller.. no cardboard box.. nothing.. and with tha box there is one envelope kind of thing..in which it is written that.. this is to protect environment.. this is environmental friendly move to not give and outer box.. ! Really? What about our product protection?
This is all what’s my review is. Pls fix this issue cosmic byte.. rest sound is good. And mic is average. Continuous electric sound on left side.. like mosquitoes on breathing RGB. Pls fix this. Returning this product.. want my refund. That’s it.

Lets start with the overall experience.
The product has some of the best ear cushions I have seen in headphones. The comfort is the best thing for me on this. However, the material for the leather like finish seems delicate and cheap, so lets see how long it will last. Will update if anything happens within warranty period. As for the overall experience, I am satisfied with the product as per its size and all the accessories that I got with it.
I bought this as my SONY MDR950BT broke from hinge.
The Main issue with the device : Beware that there is some mosquito like buzzing that happens when the lighting mode is set to breathing or any other flash of breathing mode. This issue only happens on certain colors. This can be easily ignored if the lighting is set to a static color. I found this out as my first unit had this issue as mentioned in another review. Told Cosmic byte support regarding this and they told me to update the firmware and I did. However that did not solve the issue.
The sound Quality
The sound is more focused on Treble and its main focus is for gaming. Beside this it is not intended to be used as a music headset, however you can fiddle around with the equalizer to set out a custom sound profile.
The accompanied software is generic at best and is very basic and mediocre. Seems like cosmic byte just reskinned the OEM software and called it their own.
Overall, if you are willing to ignore the issue that I just mentioned, then go for it.
