I did detailed stand alone videos on all these headsets, so if you want a deeper dive into a set check them out.

I mean while i highly disagree with your list, it was a great video. Thanks for recommending great headphones.
But i am disappointed the pc38x, epos h6pro & mmx 150 where not in this video because i have tried all of these headphones from friends and shops and these would definitely be top 3
@@beni5149 none of these headsets belong in a “gaming headset” top 3, you may be the maybe too 10 but definitely not top 3.
@@beni5149 I get it I can’t blame him. he is sponsored by certain headphone company’s. He has high caliber headsets in the background.
As an avid PC gamer since my teens many many years ago, it’s great to see the advances in tech and games. 😁👍 I love to see Techne showing the same passion for tech also. It’s not just a prepubescent pass time but entertainment for all ages young, old & everything in between 🥰🥰
I love reviewers that give comparison and price range for their products. Thank you!
Was looking for this year's best of the best - very surprised for sure on Penrose :). Thank you.
I got my penroze because of your video earlier and I couldn’t be happier the sound is amazing thank you!
I love my penrose’s, I’ve had them since you first did the review and man I can’t even use a different headset. I also got the ear pads you recommended and watched your video on how to do it and they have been PERFECT, thank you again brotha
And he ain’t lying, the sound is just UNMATCHED on ANY headset
awesome man so glad to hear I was able to help out!!
My penrose died last month while charging after 1 year. I can say the sound quality is really good but the battery life and 2.4ghz wireless range is average. Its have some static noise when there is no sound, sometime it have soft brick and i cant turn off the headset.
@@TienTran-uq6to I’ve had mine probably the same amount of time and no issues. Batteries aren’t always perfect tho that’s for sure. The wireless is trash for sure but does the trick for me as I just sit in front of my pc. As for the static that can be turned off in the settings, I had static when I first got them until I turned the feedback off or whatever it was, now haven’t had static since. The sound quality is just the best of any gaming headset out, not even compatible honestly, so I can over look the average “features”
These any good for Xbox series x?
Always love your reviews!
I have the razer blackshark v2 pro and as of now, i cant find another headset that can beat it. It all satisfies my needs for a headset for both working and playing. The compressed mic that cancels bg noises during meetings, that reachable mute button that i can press while presenting, the volume booster that allows me to hear very soft sounds, and that very light and comfy feeling while hours of playing (im wearing eyeglasses).
Thank you techne! As usual, another great review and u really know what you are saying!
Do they sound good listening to music as well? I have them in my cart & want to purchase them so bad but I can’t get an answer as to if they sound good listening to music also.
Such A Great Video! After Checking Out The Razer Black Shark Pro Review I Went Out And Got Them, Absolutely Fantastic Headset! Thank You For Steering Me In The Right Direction!!
Thanks for another amazing video, I have been waiting for this for years! Can you make a regular video like this maybe everyone 3 month so we can so up to date on the latest and best headphone going on? Thanks.
Awesome selection of headsets , awesome video as always. Have a Merry Christmas Techne. Peace.
I personally use the Senheisser HD58x Jubilee w/ Antlion wireless mic + Corsair HS70SE headsets with my gaming rigs and love ❤them both! Tbh thou, as consumers, we’re spoilt for choice with headsets & headphones 🎧 which can cater for everyone’s needs or wants in terms of budget, sound quality, mic quality & features 🥰🤩🥳👍. Great video Techne. Merry Christmas 🎄 🎄 🎅 🤶 to you & your family and thank you once again for amazing , energetic & passionate reviews 🥳👍😉
Watching the techne already brighten up my day
Great review. Saw a couple of your other videos on the penrose glad it’s number one because I just placed an order for them yesterday 🤙🏽
your gonna love them man!
nice review. It will help me a lot to decide which one to buy! thanks
hey techne, i love watching your videos!! i was wondering when you will do the steelseries arctis 7+ and also an in depth on how to use sonar or even just the app that came with it because nobody has a video on that right now and i'm having a hard time matching my audio from my old arctis 7 to this new one.
Thank god you released this. I’ve had A50’s for the longest and couldn’t find a website or reviewer that had a “cheap” one. I don’t care about cheap, I care about quality!
Everybody claims to have the best then say "best bang for your buck" im like thats not what I asked for I asked for the best 😂😂
What is the best one im very confused, every CZcamsr has a different opinion of theres😐
Poor little rich boy. The flaunting of peasants is so offensive isn't it? Shut up
@@alexanderluna2805 🤫
@@alexanderluna2805 "sorry we don't have any headsets over 150$".... what a joke x2 gamestops and 1 walmart.
LucidSound is good, but mine died...like the battery won't keep charge. It is signed by snoop dogg and talks to me through equalizers. Ladadada...Its a shame I didn't treat it better. I may have slept on the type c while it was charging.
Gonna take it to the shop. Only downside to lucid sound is earcups shriveled just by me listening to music outside when it's hot. They use rubber glue, but upside is it connects to like 4 devices at once. Never buy A gaming headset that lacks phone 📱 duality.
80% of headsets are gimmicks
Good review yet again buddy.
Hi Techne,
I currently have an arctis pro wireless and am looking for a replacement as it's breaking and probably won't last another month, I'm looking for a headset with Bluetooth and preferably wireless as well, though wired isn't an issue as long as I can use Bluetooth at the same time. What would you suggest?
Hey Techne I LOVE your videos. I always come to your channel when I'm looking for an upgrade or different equipment for gaming. ALTHOUGH, I have a GoXLR and I am having trouble finding a good headset that runs well with it. I prefer wireless and I have the Astro A50s but I have to use a ground loop isolator and I still get some static interference. I would love if you could do a video showing the best headphones to use with an GoXLR.
Been using the Arctis Pro Wireless for 3 years now and love it. Love being able to have connected wirelessly to my PC for game audio and voice chat while at the same time listening to music from Spotify from my phone through bluetooth with separate volume controls for both.
why dont you just listen to music on your pc too
@@oxheehee so you dont have to tab in and out to change music
How has the head piece connecting to the ear cups held up? I am considering the Arctis Pro Wireless but have read numerous reviews and saw pictures where the head piece has cracked / sperated from the earcup. I have 3 pair of gaming headsets right now and all are open box (discounted): Astro A50 Gen 4, Corsair Virtuoso XT, and Steele Series Arctis Pro Wireless. My old Astro A50 Gen 3's are not holding a charge and need a battery replacement and the base station works intermittently. Currently the Steele Series to my ears sounds the best. I also like the ability to replace the battery in the future but the weak attaching points I mentioned early give me pause.
Amazing video as always.
My head is a little on the big side, so using any of those strap-style headsets in just not an option. I tried the HyperX Cloud II and they were just a tad too tight and are on their way back to the store. Now awaiting the Razer Black Shark V2 Pros, based 100% on their light clamping pressure. Extremely glad to have videos like this to guide me.
i like the modding , any extra info to make better informed decisions is good
Great video. I love your passion for headsets and as a fellow headset lover I appreciate you. Keep up the great work brother. 👍
thank you so much
@@TheTechne hi techne, should i buy corsair hs50 pro or 60pro surround? I have an amp and audio card( fnatic audio card and soundblaster x3),I really like your videos keep it up
I think my favorite headset so far is the Beyerdynamic MMX 300 2nd generation, They are the most comfortable one's I've used so far and have amazing sound. I would put the HyperX Orbit S as my second favorite, Only because they start to become really uncomfortable after a while of using them.
Hi, I bought the Penrose and after using them for a while, The sound is the best I have heard in a headset. Where I feel it could have been made better is the comfort. The cups are okay but at that price it should have been a little thicker and noise proof. The head band gel is too narrow and after just one to two hours playing I feel like I have a rock on my head. I have regrets not getting the Arctis 7 or even better the Pro version. I was looking for a better sound/base and got it but at that price I was expecting a better build.
Forreal the padding on head is severely lacking…. fantastic sound but big issue with headset is exactly the padding
Hey i just bought the 7+, is the audio on the WirelessPro the same audio?
question 2) i found the frame to be too tight on clamp on the Wired Pro's, but not the 7's. is the wireless pro identical to the wired pro? i would hope it isn't.
3) unmodded, most comfty headset? and is it a landslide victory?
I swear I just told myself yesterday I don’t need another headset and then you drop this video. Damn you Techne! Lol awesome video man
lol, I tell myself everyday, I don't need another headset/keyboard/mouse, lol
I called the Penrose as number 1 before I even started watching called in right just on seeing the title of the video right there... Didn't expect to see Mr Steelseries at no5 though... Stinking cozy video right there... Great content right up my street keep up the good work... And all the best for Christmas from my home to yours... Happy Holidays and you say or Merry Christmas as we say Techne...
thank you so much! and yeah man it was tough butting them on the bottom, still an amazing headset, but man we need a refresh
I just found your channel after my Tb Stealth 700 gen 2 broke below the swivel after 14 months. I loved these headsets especially for the price. I thought they shouldn't have broke but again I do have big thick hands that have broke doorknobs off by turning them. After seeing and looking at all these other headsets and the problems with them, it seems the only issue I had with Tb was yea the plastic cracked. Which is fixable. I wanted something good, that wouldn't break, good sound, comfortable, bluetooth, good mic, and didn't have disconnect issues and apparently from so many reviews I read I think I have the best headset overall. I read about Premrose having connections issues and for the price and issues Tb are better. I will admit this, the stealth 700s did take a little punishment. I have laid on them, I have tossed them, not far but still, and I do have big hands. I want to try some others but I'm still not sure which one as I play on xbox, want bt and wireless, and don't want to spend 400$ on something that loses connection
Love your channel so much, i will buy the Audeze Penrose soon, i need them in my life 🙏🏻.
I will be trying this week the Corsair Virtuoso XT and the SteelSeries Arctis 9X.
They are really cheap feel for the money. Wouldnt recommend them to anyone. I couldnt believe that they cost that much considering the build quality. They seem to just ride with the name. Below average quality. Dont waste your money on that shit...
@@L1ven i know they are very expensive, what headset did you recommend??
hey do you think the arctis 7+ is a good headset for me. i play fortnite and forza horizon 5. im also thinking about getting the switch oled soon and want a headset i can use wireless while out the dock
The sound on the Audeze Penrose must truly be the stuff of legend because every review I've seen is people complaining about the wireless/bluetooth audio mixing, or the annoying hiss when using sidetone, but then at the end it's always "BUT THE SOUND! BEST WIRELESS HEADSET EVER!!!".
I own them and have no problems with connection and yes the sound is amazing - especially with the Dolby Atmos app 😍
I've had mine for about two months. I sit at a desk with a monitor so I'm about a foot away from my xbox. Literally zero issues with connection. I dont use the Bluetooth so I cannot speak on that. I don't get the battery life hate. I've played pretty much all day without a charge. Took about two weeks for the clamping force to loosen up. Great for all games from FPS to Open world games. I also did a firmware update right out the box. Highly recommend
@@kdegrees4204 yeah, I sit about 6 or 7ft from my Xbox and it's really solid - I've used the Bluetooth and it's fine, Apple Music HD sounds amazing on them, and had no negative feedback for voice quality on calls.
Nice video I still can’t believe you put the A50s in ahead of the Pro Wireless tho.
I had Astro a50s and recently purchased the Corsair virtuoso xt (High Price) well worth it . I play a lot of escape from Tarkov and they are a great choice other then Astro a50s . Even tho the astros give that deep rich bass boost . The Corsair’s pack that and more around the same price range.
You should also review the newest Arctis 7+ and 7P+ when you can. Thanks!
I bought the Virtuoso XT when they released them, and i agree on the out of the box audio.... i wasnt surprised... but when i played with the EQ in the ICUE.. damn! I feel like i got the same sound as i got on my old Audio Tecnica headset! I love them!
You should try connecting it to dolby atmos as well, trust
@@itzRoblar i did try that.. i like my EQ better tbh
@@danielschmidt1990 Would you mind sharing your eq? My Xt's are arriving tomorrow from amazon :)
Bought a second set of the wicked cushions as soon as you made the mod video cause I love my Penrose headset too
What do you think about the Xbox wireless headset? I want a decent headset that has a volume for game chat so I can cut the group down if I need to hear people close by in Warzone, without having to go to the group screen and mute all. I’m on Xbox series x
Any idea if these wicked cushions are available in uk????? And have any idea when exactly, I know you said early 2022.
I love Arctis Pro Wireless.. idk, the best headset I've ever used.
Never have to worry about anything.
Sound quality? Very good even for a wireless headset.
Connectivity? Ur choice
Durability? Sure strong enough with metal band
Comfort? Damn. I even often forget it's on my head. I go arround the house wearing it while doing other stuff
Customization & controls? Wtf is software? Gamedac ftw
Battery? The only wireless headset u'll never have to worry about battery or forgot to plug in ur headset at night and end up ran out of battery while u're in-game.
As an xbox guy, is it worth with some of these or am I limiting myself due to some of these dont say explicitly "xbox" like say with most corrsair or steelseries?
Thoughts on Hyperx Cloud S? I picked that one up over the Corsair Virtuoso XT due to price
Did you make this video just so SteelSeries will refresh the Arctis Pros lol? I'm in for that. Upgrade Mic. Keep same battery system (Maybe so when I upgrade, I can use the two I already have). Upgrade drivers. I was hoping Audeze Penrose was #1 since I just bought them per your recommendation. Wicked Cushions are a must, but I'd recommend them for every headset you can use them on anyway.
Great video and reviews! But what happened to the Master and Dynamic MG20s?!? That’s considered “best if the best”, right?!? Would love to see you do a review on those high end gaming headphones!
They are mediocre and not worth the price. Mic isn’t great and there is no side tone option. Can’t edit eq. Things that need to be included in a 450 dollar headset. Surround sound feature sounds absolutely terrible and turns on by default when you power up the headset. They do sound great though, that is there one redeeming quality.
any good budget headphones or earphones out there? ones without a microphone attached to it?
Are the penrose and mobius basically the same? Just got the mobius but I can probably return them if needed. Looking for the best game sound for competitive.
have to say after watching your videos, been using the hd6xx. decided to get the penrose. jesus. what a headset. Even without the earpads and headrest its epic (i have the earpads and headset coming). The volume is loud as hell, the seperation is awesome, it really has more bass than the hd6xx and more treble. theres not really anything it doesnt do better than the hd6xx (i still ove the headset, amp/dac combo i have to though, but its going to my son, replace his shp phillips headset.). Thanks for all you do.
First time I've visited the channel. The information was great but I kept having thoughts in the back of my head that took away from some it. I kept going back to thinking of J-roc from trailer park boys. You give off the same exact vibe.
I don't have the blackshark V2 pros but I do have the Blackshark V2 (wired) and V2 X. These are so amazing in every field from comfort to sound.
I had the Arctic Pro's which had great forward soundstage but overall sound quality was poor. Then had the ROG Delta's which had phenomenal sound but fell apart after 18 months of daily use and currently got the v2 pros and they are 'very good' with the 50 mil drive but just short of 'great' on everything else. Now I've opted to go down a different route by recently purchasing the schiit fulla 4 gaming dac + Sennheiser IE 800 S (as I'm just not convinced by the current 'gaming' headphone lineup.) I'll have to see if my gamble pays off.
sheesh talk about an investment. If I had those type of funds I'd save up for the HD 800s since a lot of big audioheads swear by them for gaming, as well as just overall sound. I'm not one to talk since I just bought HD 600s, but I didn't particularly buy them purely for gaming. Which may mean I might invest in an amp as well for the full sound.
Still waiting for those wicked cushions on the virtuoso ! :O 100% wanna buy
Still waiting on the wicked cushions for the virtuoso.... Any idea on a release date?
Is the Astro A40 as good as the Astro A50 apart from the cable?
Is ready arrive my Penrose, wow out of this world, immediately notice the difference
Awesome review 👌👌
I bought bought the Penrose X after watching your previous review on them... Thanks for your insight...But Yo, where can I get those glasses you got on?! They're bad ass!!
Ok I brought the Corsairs… I had them a week and due to the fact you can’t adjust eq and use on ps5 without them resetting 🙄. I returned them. 😞. I grabbed on special the razor v2 and for the price and what you get with eq that actually works and saves can say unless you have a pc is the way to go imo. Thanks heaps Techne you really do give best reviews without hiding issues! Fair and honest! 💙🥳
are you going to do a review or comparison between audese penrose and B&O portal? Which one would you recommend, without consideration to the price. thanks
Not having sidetone is a killer for me, is the audeeze really that bad with it?
Please review the lucid sound ls50x. Some say this competes sound wise with the audeze penrose. I just purchased the audeze because of your review. I am curious what you think of the lucid headset.
I've only had two headsets since Modern Warfare 2 released on Xbox 360. The Turtle Beach X41's which were amazing and my current headset the Astro a40 TR's which I have had now for about 5 years now and they still work flawlessly. However, I need a wireless headset to go between rigs and am super confused on what to get lol. I play alot of COD and I've been thinking maybe the Hyper X cloud II wireless, but amna but worried about the lack of swivel. Thanks for the video it helps!
what glasses are those im oakley fan i wear mainlink myself because i need big frames
Im surprised that Arctis Nova Pro is not on the top 5 list.
Or that model came out later?
I've owned a pair of astro gen 4 for over a year now, and I'd say the audio is amazing without doubt a superb headset with copious amounts of tunability. The 1 draw back I found was that I'd get ear fatigue wearing them on long game sessions. They touch the driver inside and give me ear ache, If the faux leather upgrade was still available and offered a deeper cup I'd part with £30 for the luxury for sure, but after owning these so long I've been looking at an upgrade and tempted by the V2's 🤔
What do you prefer for fps (warzone in particular)? The arctis pro or the Penrose x?
My favorite the blackshark v2 pro. I changed to v2 from astro a50 gen.2 Im playing a lot with tarkov and honestly.... the THX for me sounding better then dolby, I mean I think you really can hear the diference between the two. If you play a lot something like tarkov where is so omportant to know where the sounds are come from, THX deffenetly more accurate I think.
Does it have a good sound in movies and music, and is the build quality strong and long-term?
@@1PX Build quality is good, I had no issue with them at all! For movies and music I can't recommend tho. For gaming sure it's good far from the grate, but I think solid. For movies\music NAH.....
Had the Wired Pros for a while and I have to agree. They do a lot of things well, but there's definite issues. I had issues with the hinge, not noticing a crack even after replacing them due to a consistent sound issue in one side of the headphone. So, I'd say restructure the hinges the headphones themselves and probably partner with a mic manufacturer to replace what they have now.
I had the Virtuoso's for a short time and really only returned them due to the price and some minor issues. But one thing I thought was really cool was it had two audio ports, so I got a really cool set up by wiring my PS4 cord and the laptop USB as well, which meant I could game and watch/listen to YT.
Got the V2 wired currently and the dial does get a little finicky where you have to wiggle it to get full sound, same with Arctis, but that might be user error for all I know. lol.
I've been hearing and seeing so many good things that I'm leaning toward the Penrose. Though I am perusing the various reviews to keep my options open.
I would have to agree, I also have the Pros, and have used them for the past 2 years, and have absolutely loved them, both sound and mic are very good. However last week... I also got a crack and it is now getting worse by the hour, literally, every time I take them of my head they just deteriorate, so here I am... looking for new headphones to buy, before the hinge completely loses it and the headphone falls off :D
hello great video.
question please. which of them you recomend for pubg mobile wierd with 3.5 to my nubia red magic 5s. and tv watching( movies) maybe with bluetooth . maybe the corsair but you tell me😉
i have beats by dr dre studio 1 and they died last week after 10 years. i buyed a new arctis 3 console edition and its sucks the voliume is not close to the old beats that i had i was very disapoited. sometimes i play ps4 to..so now i dont know which one will be strong compere to my old beats studio 1 plese help
Absolutely love my Penrose for the series X. I don't have an issue with sidetone, and I actually need it. I found myself having a hard time keeping my voice down during firefights. Also zero connection issues with mine. I can usually get a room away before they disconnect, which I find reasonable. If Audeze would change the way Bluetooth is controlled, this would be the perfect headset. Not sure why they thought tying system volume to BT volume was a good idea...
Can you do the chat mix on the headset
Mines broke yesterday cheap plastic buying metal headset from now on
I’ve watched you for a bit now man but I’ve never seen you review any sennheiser (epos) gaming headsets like the gsp line or game one and the Alienware gaming headset which is my main headset to this day apart from my gsp 600. Would love to see you review them and tell us what you think of them.
What kind of ear cups were those???? I don’t think I saw a link in the bio 🤔
Corsair Virtuoso XT's are awesome! Those wicked cushions would be a great add!
ohh man, they are great!
@Hugo Sr2123 no
I'm currently using the Wireless A50s. Is there any headset that you recommend that would be worth the upgrade from the A50s?
I use the Astro A40s with the mix amp, and rather prefer them over the A50s. The mix amp, to me, is much more versatile and easily used rather then both being in the ear cup. The dials are smooth and easy to use, with the benefit of always being able to see what levels you are set to. I definitely can see the gripe of having a wired headset but I had nothing but issues with the connectivity with the A50s and ultimately made the switch. Now I heard you say that you have not tested them with the mod kits, these are a MUST with the Astro A50s and A40s (although I think the mod kit for the A50s were better quality). They are a bit pricey being $50-$60 but I highly suggest making the purchase and giving it a try. Comfort, isolation, and sound quality sky rocket. Always enjoy your reviews, thank you for the information!
Recently baught the a40 mixamp duo and just ordered thr mod kit. Can't wait to see how they improve an amazing headset
And that comment is going to be my first time buying the Astro a40s I'm definitely getting them thank you for that comment
I’m a little late and about to purchase the A40’s what is this mod kid you speak of?
I've had my A40s for 7 years now and have been my main for those 7, I've had no issues. If you take care of your stuff an don't go pass 85% volume on any headphones/sets and they will last. If you have corded don't wrap around headphones/sets an the cord will last.
No mention of the Corsair HS80? Th audio on this headset is phenomenal. The mic is probably the best sounding mic on a wireless headset. The mic does have an issue of being too quiet and requiring 3rd party software to make it operate at nominal levels though. Other than that, this headset is the best. Just doesn't have bluetooth.
I have the Virtuoso XT but I find the stock ear pads unbearable. I'm interested in looking at whichever aftermarket ear pads you were raving about for them. Does anybody have any info about these?
Waiting for your top 5 keyboards vid!!!
Which wicked cushions are you using for virtuoso xt? And which do you think is the best?
Hey techne, why did you rate the razer above the virtuoso, it sounded to me like it has a lot more going that the razer ones, was it because of price?
Hey,
I need a recommendation for wireless headphones without a microphone(basically I don't care about it) because I'm using an external one. I just want a good sound for gaming. I like the arctis pro wirelles but it's a little expensive. Any tips?
should i get the arctis prime? If not what should i get. I had the mh751 but it broke so I'm looking for a replacement.
I got the A50s and I have to agree. They really need some new stuff. USB C and Bluetooth should be standard in that price class.
How much more are the xt's worth over the V2 pros? Might use Bluetooth a lot tho
how can I turn off the side tone on the audeze penrose? specifically if you don't have a computer
Would you say theres any difference between the audeze penrose and the gen 2 700 TB, im not sure if i should buy for the price difference. For ps5 by the way
Astro a40 tr for my pc and a50 for my series x. Both have mod kits. I really hope astro a50 gets a gen refresh. Now that new consoles are out and don't use optical audio anymore(expect if your TV has one)
Does optical audio cord made a big difference in sound ? Just ordered the A50s for the series x and was thinking of plugging it in to my tv
@@_rjql when astro a50 next systems firmware update came out last year. When optical port was no longer needed I scratched my head and did some research. A lot of people said it can make a difference and some say it doesn't depending on the user. Me personally, I owned the last a50(gen 3). Optical audio is the way to go but I don't use optical audio on the pc because it's not required. I would use the optical audio for the consoles
How good is the sound on the epos h6 pro closed back vs the Audeze Penrose? I don't need wireless. 🙂
I bought the Penrose on your recommendation. I don't regret it all. It's sound is the best I have ever had.
I came from a Arctis 7x.
It is super comfort for long use?
Steel Series are overrated headsets. I used to own the artics 1 it's the worst. The bass is too bad. Razer kraken v3 it's not bad have problems with its thx spatial drivers. I think Asus we could try a Asus Penrose. I used to play cs 1.6 I know the quality of these headphones.
I have Sennheiser 598 SR wired headphones plugged into a soundblasterx g6 dac/external soundcard. It is starting to get very worn but I have not used wireless before. How would some of these compare sound quality wise compared to the Sennheiser?
The only headset comfortable for my head are the rig800 🤔 idk if this headset is gonna bother me or I just go with the steelseries 9x?
Blackshark v2 vs g pro wired. Which one should i buy? Or others brtter with similar price?
My favorite is the logitech g pro x sound is great and the mic is outstanding never had such a good mic in a headset
man the audeze just looks sick man i wanna try it :8
What is the mic you are using in making this video?
After 6 years of owning a cloud II I loved it but... 6 years. which one would you recommend, hyperx cloud alpha or logitech pro x? I dont listen to music, I only play competitive fps games. Love ur vids.
Stay away from the Logitech x pro, you'll be disappointed, I had them and went to cloud II wireless and they are better.
can u link where u get the earpad for the corsair xt? thanks
Another great video dude thank you so much.
Even though I don’t need another headset as I have one already and just ordered the Razer Kaira for my PS5, I still enjoyed the video.
I have to say though for the first time I have to disagree on a couple of things. First, Astro can no way be above the Arctic Pro, just no way lol and secondly the Penrose, my friend has it and whilst it sounds amazing, it was the most uncomfortable headset ever. I know you can put on some wicked cushions, but the way I see it is, if I’m paying a premium price for a headset, it has to be comfortable out of the box.
Another thing I’ve always said is, I’ve tried a lot of headsets and the one thing I can honestly say is, anything £100 and above, give or take a couple of metres, footsteps will be heard from the same distance and with similar clarity.
I use my headset for gaming only and mostly for precise directional sound for footsteps in FPS games and I have headphones for music.
Unless people out there more care about the bass or warm sound, I don’t recommend spending anything more than £150.
Again another great video and love your energy.
what headphones would u recommend for music?
@@mustaqimkifrawi3697 I use Beyerdynamic and also have a pair of Sennheiser’s. You can also use these for gaming, but I love the convenience of wireless and no wires dangling anywhere, so that’s why I use wireless gaming headset for gaming and for music the other two.
@@famezy9103 what headset would you recommend or do you use for fps games and that is under £150?
@@zacdubravec6574 This all depends on the person and their hearing. Everyone’s heating is different.
I had to send the Razer Kaira back as their app seems to be buggy and went back to my old Astro A20 Gen 2.
Believe me I’ve tried so many headsets and I mean lots and based on my hearing and experience what I’ve found is, regardless of how much a headset or headphone is, footsteps will be heard clearly from about the same distance in let’s say Warzone, give or take couple of metres. Yes of you get a high end headphone (not headset) or even a high end headset, you’ll get more clarity or cleaner sound, but it doesn’t mean you’ll hear footsteps from further away.
When I’m playing games, I don’t care about sound quality as such, because I’m only playing a game, so as long as the sound is clean and has enough clarity, it’s a win for me.
I’ve tested the Astro A20 against quite a few headsets including it’s more expensive big brother Astro A50, SteelSeries Arctic’s Pro Wireless and more. The following is my experience based on my hearing.
From how far I can CLEARLY hear footsteps in Warzone and gets louder closer the enemy gets:
Astro A20 - 30 meters
Astro A50 - 30 meters
SteelSeries Arctic’s Pro Wireless: 32 meters
I could list loads more, but as mentioned above they’re all going to roughly give you the same distance in terms of footsteps.
Astro A20 is only £99 and I can honestly say it’s a brilliant headset in my opinion. It has the comfort, it gets quite loud, it has 3 EQ profiles preinstalled and can choose it at a touch of a button…Astro, Pro and Signature. Put it on Pro and you’re good to go. It generally has a nice warm sound, very clear sound, and all you have to do is put it on Pro EQ and you’re set for FPS games.
I still think Astro accidentally developed the perfect headset without realising and priced it very cheap.
I’m sorry for the long reply 🤣
you can actually see the red light for the arctis pro through the wind screen pretty easily since its right in your face as you said
