Summary of the review
Wicked Audio Artifact REVIEW Comfortable Studio Sound Where You Want It

Third-party reviews

Based on ratings from across the web.
Reviews last updated: November 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about Wicked Audio Artifact

  • Affordable price point, often cited as a great value for under $30
  • Highly comfortable over-ear design with thick foam padding suitable for long listening sessions
  • Strong bass performance that is punchy without sounding muddy
  • Lightweight build that doesn't cause head fatigue
  • Includes a durable braided nylon cord and a gold-plated plug to reduce corrosion
  • Simple, sturdy 'no-frills' design that is less prone to technical failures

What customers don't like about Wicked Audio Artifact

  • The 4-foot cord can be too short for desktop PC use
  • Minimal visual indicators make it difficult to distinguish between the left and right sides
  • Lacks advanced features like active noise cancellation (ANC)
  • Some users find the ear cups can get slightly warm after several hours of continuous use
  • Wired-only connection (requires a 3.5mm adapter for modern smartphones without a headphone jack)

Verdict

The Wicked Audio Artifact is a wired over-ear headphone featuring 40mm neodymium drivers designed to deliver high-fidelity sound with a frequency range of 20Hz–20kHz. These headphones offer an impedance of 32 Ohms, a sensitivity of 103 dB, and a 4-foot cord equipped with a gold-plated 3.5mm plug for enhanced durability. Key characteristics include a lightweight 360g build, large comfortable ear cushions for extended listening, and passive noise isolation that helps create an acoustic seal. Main pros include its smooth instrumental performance, robust bass response that remains clear without being muddy, and a tangle-free cable design. Notable cons include the lack of active noise cancellation (ANC), no built-in microphone for hands-free calls, and a non-detachable cable.
