The AW520H is a wired gaming headset with 40mm Hi-Res drivers, a retractable boom mic with AI noise reduction, and both USB and 3.5mm connections. Dolby Atmos works over USB on Windows, on-cup controls handle volume and mute, and memory-foam pads on a suspension headband keep it comfortable. There's no ANC, the 3.5mm connection is stereo only, and at about 297g it's not the lightest.
