Lenovo has released a new wired gaming headset in China, the EY130. Priced at 99 yuan (roughly $14) on JD.com, it is an entry-level over-ear model that manages to include a few hardware features usually reserved for slightly more expensive peripherals, such as 50mm drivers and built-in 7.1 surround sound processing.

Lenovo EY130 Specifications

Inside the earcups, the EY130 relies on 50mm composite diaphragm drivers. These are built with a dual-magnet design and a polyurethane and fiber paper construction, covering the standard 20Hz to 20kHz frequency response range. According to Lenovo, the headset’s audio profile is specifically tuned for first-person shooters.

Additionally, the headset handles virtual 7.1 surround sound directly through an integrated acoustic chip. This is a convenient inclusion, as it means the surround sound processing happens on the hardware level, bypassing the need to install separate software or proprietary drivers on your PC to get it working.

For voice communication, the headset features an attached omnidirectional boom microphone with a sensitivity rating of -42dB ±3dB. The mic is flexible for easy positioning and includes Environmental Noise Cancellation (ENC) technology.

The physical design of the EY130 sticks to standard PC gaming conventions. It features an all-black exterior accented by dynamic RGB lighting on the earcups. Lenovo opted for a dual-layer, self-adjusting headband that stretches to fit different head sizes while distributing the headset’s weight. The ear cushions are made from a breathable fabric to reduce heat buildup during longer sessions. The entire unit measures 230 by 206 by 95 mm.

Connectivity is handled by a combined USB and 3.5mm cable. As a fully wired device, it operates as a plug-and-play peripheral for desktops, laptops, and consoles, avoiding the latency and battery management issues associated with wireless models.

In related news, Lenovo has recently introduced a budget-friendly mechanical keyboard featuring tri-mode connectivity and hot-swappable switches, alongside a compact AI Mini PC powered by a 12-core processor and equipped with its Tianxi Claw AI assistant.
