aliosha babosha that's a bad advice. Headsets for gaming purposes have a different contact order on the plug for the microphone than let's say your standard Samsung or Apple smartphone earbuds, and depending on your gaming console, the latter are often not compatible.

Boy, they say motherboard shopping is hard, but have you tried finding a good monitor at about 150$? Bruh... The best I saw was an LG monitor with 1080p 1ms (blur? Idk what that is) 75hz refresh rate (I think only via display) and when you think that this is your deal, I find a 4k monitor at 30 bucks more... There are just too many monitors to find the best one for the price.
Ha! The Apie $9.99 are already sold out. The power of Linus.

I mean for 10 bucks, that's a pretty damn good deal. I was amazed personally haha
Dam, am I gonna have to buy the 15 dollar Apie headset now?
Dang! I guess we'll have to wait... If they ever come back as cheap...
Usually “headphones” and “cheap” doesn’t go well so this was somewhat a surprise
If your mainly wanting the best possible headset for Music listening then almost ANY headset will do as all you need is a $30 AUD (about $20 USD) portable headphone amp as almost all headsets, expensive & cheap use the exact same speakers/phones but have different pre-amps, I ended up with 9 damn headsets in my quest to find the best ones for music & bass & the best ones are the cheapest I have, a used pair of Beats Solo headphones with one of those portable headphone amps! The MUCH more expensive Beats units like Studio were MUCH worse even with the amp, but the The Beats Solo are insane so are a cheap pair of "Soul" brand headphones. The portable Amp's have a built in rechargeable battery that lasts for well over 8 hours flat out too.
@@VirusOfCyrus behegd
A serious note on the MSI DS501 headset. I bought it and the sound quality is ok. Everything that linus said was true. However, after only a few months of active use, the inline controller started to break. Whenever you would adjust the volume the audio would often always go to only one side, forcing me to fine tune the volume back to a point where the audio was even. Very shortly after they stopped working altogether.
bummer...hah. Did you take advantage of the warranty guarentee and got your money back from whatever website/shop you bought them from?

I appreciate how you title this series of videos as "Round Up" rather than "Top Five" like other channels. If a video is titled Top Five, it better be the best 5 headphones they could find for the price, not just some random headphones they picked up.
I totally feel this comment. Cheers!
7:09 I own this one and I LOVE it. I wear these for hours at a time (Usually 5+) and they're super comfy. I've never had an issue with them hurting my ears or head. They have pretty good sound too. Only issues i have is that they're too big, even on the smallest setting. I do have a small head though, so if you also have a small head, I don't recommend these if you want a tight fit. Also, the mic feels like it's miles way from your face. So if you're a quiet talker, and plan on using the mic, don't get this.
nooo they suck, not worth the money because the rubber near the head jack gets permanantly stuck and it barely fits against my laptop jack
I got the Nubwo N2 or something that looks identical and I honestly dissare in the head band there is a thin flexible piece of plastic and feels pretty comfortable. The fit as very good for me but there is a lot of noise that comes through the padding. I also love the volume adjuster that is built into the head seat so you can comfortable here them with the heads set off as well.
I recently visited a Chinese internet cafe and they also had the Apie Vibration at every PC. I honestly didn't expect it to only cost 10$ since it was very comfortable and for playing games the sound quality was sufficient (but generally the rest of the gear was the cheapest of cheap, so I supposed the headset wouldn't be to expensive either).

I have been waiting a long time for this video. FINALLY
I’m wearing the beex ones right now. I think they are pretty good but the wire length is ridiculously long but other than that the sound quality is pretty good.
Regarding the first one, I use some other 10 dollar headphones and they sound good, have buttons to control volume, etc. Are wireless and are built much better and look much better than the one you showed first. No leds though
I can personally attest to the MSI DS501's great sound/comfort for the price (yet really sub-par mic quality).
Hey is the mic really that bad? I was thinkin of buying one to play csgo
Where can I find one that is $25? All I can find are the $30 ones on Amazon.
It's passable, but found out my audio levels were often drowned out when playing with the mates and that they could barely hear me half the time as a result.
Bought mine from a local retailer from my side of the world unfortunately, sorry matey.
yh, same here.
Cheapest 1080p monitors next?
TJH The Omen one at Best buy is on sale for like $150.
TJH Asus makes 22 inch monitors that are 100 all the time I have 5 now
skull candy riffs are soooo amazing!
Happy with my thrustmaster y 300 p. After 6 years still working. 👍
I have the G2000, and they're great. I bought mine from another company from Amazon, which seems to have disappeared, but I paid about £15 for them. They're incredibly comfortable, and the plastic over the drivers isn't noticeable at all for me. The headphone jack did start to fray on mine after about 6 months, but some tape fixed it. I'd actually recommend them.
I have those as well and they’re phenomenal
As someone who also has them I think they are great but the cups could be a little bit deeper
Same
I have G4000
I have the G2000 also, the sound is great and they are so comfortable...
I wish I had the money for the expensive headsets, but I havnt..
I bought these from amazon and they have over 1600 reviews , looking through the most recent 5 pages of reviews every one gave them 5 stars !
I love them and they are great from gaming too.
I bought the Red Dragon keyboard and Lennon Mouse off the round up videos and the reviews were spot on.
So I definitely want to check out those $10 headphones.
Trust The Shooters did you check them out? I'm interested as well

The Sades SA were my first ever gamer headphones and I even had a video of me getting them and screaming soo much since I wanted them soo bad.
When Linus said “I spent all my money on DLC” I felt that
i love how i can find all of the peripherals at the gaming cafe in my city in this series
i mean cant complain too much because they do have awesome alienware pc's
One set of headphones I find the best are the Turtle Beach Recon 50 (or 70). The recon 50 is SUPER comfortable, has a volume wheel, and a mic with great quality and a flexible boom mic. Great Headphones I would buy them again and again.
Man I used to own the ds501s a long time ago when I started PC gaming. Interesting how they are reviewed on LTT. Now I’m rocking HD660s, I’ll never look back.
Although it is a study of one, I have a set of the Sades headphones from this video and can confirm they have great audio for the price. While their bass is not nearly as good as more expensive headphones they certainly are not muddy. I can't say the shiny plastic and fake leather is the most comfortable but I would still highly recommend them.
What we have learned from this video:
You can't get a good headset under $25
GDTeam no
Yup
Im looking to buy a g2000, it seems worth it for 20€
@@CiceroFMYT nice
I bought a set called the Easyacc G1 from Amazon. £25, virtual 7.1, adjustable audio bitrate, noise cancelling mic, auto adjust headband, similar to the MSI in this video, but look way nicer, they have a sound linked vibrate function, braided cable, led lighting, and are built beautifully, and sound excellent. Check them out www.amazon.co.uk/EasyAcc-Surround-Sound-vibration-function-headphones-Black/dp/B01G53FAFK alas they've gone up by £4 since I got mine, but they are a gem at the price
Tbh, Kotion Each G2000 actually stands out pretty good for a budget gaming headphones. If u could neglect the poor leather cushion earcup and sweaty ears, it does sound amazing. For a budget headphones like this, u get punchy bass and it's switchable, unfortunately the USB A that comes along doesn't provide surround sound but only single light around the earcup chambers and bass sounds. I've been using it for almost 2 years, this gaming headphones is worth the price.
Got the beexcellent ones, they freaking work for what they are supposed to do. Even tho after a few hours they really either hurt your ears or make them sweat from the warming cushion
wonder what Apie does in the $50-$100 price range.
Nothing
They make the same thing but glass so you can see the inside and better quality overall for $45
Just get astros a50 they are better
WSG Force and multiple times more expensive
I’m honestly more interested into the headset stand they were using !
True dat
I own the Kotion Each G2000’s, they are some of the best headphones i’ve owned and i highly recommend it myself
On the subject of headsets, I picked up the Turtle Beach Elite Atlas Aero at Best Buy today to replace the Logitech G230 headset that recently broke. I am super happy with my purchase. Wireless FTW.
Apie is a decent headphone brand. Beware with the headsets, some of them have separate mic and headphone jacks. And a usb to power any lights to boot.
Separate Jacks is something normal LOL
I thought the nails @ 0:10 where Linus's nails and told myself I could see Linus with long sparkle nails and still be cool 😎 while reviewing the headsets 😂👌great video
I actually have the kotion each g2000, it is really nice in actuality, it also lasted around 2 years so far with me throwing, hitting, etc

I got my dad a HyperX Cloud II for Christmas. Because I'm loaded, apparently.
Johar Azizi I've bought some Brandless pair of headphones and the bass CAN be so loud that I got sick (I used the right song and the right equalizer app) bit one downside: they are on-ear and not over-ear bet hey they where about 23 bucks
Same
Longg hard microphone with HIGHH sensitivity
I've been using the Nubwo N2 for 4 years now and i can say they were extremely worth the price/performance. The head band doesn't dig into my skull like how they had as a problem, my head is on the small side. The pleather started breaking down after 2 years and first headset issue where the headphone wires inside the cord broke after 3.5 years. Fixed by cutting the wire shorter and reattaching on the pcb with hot glue lol. The sound quality is actually really good. Few days ago, the mic finally gave in and that's why I'm here today. Though the mic wasn't the greatest like all these other products here. +20Db to get them audible for others to hear me and picks up a lot of background noise. they aren't listed on amazon anymore.
Please make another video review on these headsets 2022/2023 that would be great!
I have a gaming headset I had gotten from Rose's (man that place has really gone down hill. They now sell weave and wigs next to snacks and toothpaste.) It was a 7 dollar gaming headset and is one of the most comfortable headsets I have ever worn. It lights up due to it having a multi-color LCD ring around in and you plug it Into a usb port in order to get the full glow. It delivers on the 3d-sound and has an adjustable strap you see on way more expensive gaming headphones.
$10 ones are already out of stock
I wonder why
This is probably the funniest review from Linus!
the reactions of the testers are just legendary
Lmao yeah
I had the sades when I was just getting into gaming, (this was like 7+ years ago when I was 9-10 years old) and I could not care less, but now looking back on them, I believe I only chose them because they looked cool in my eyes
I had the g2000s and they’ve lasted me over a year, I was honestly more satisfied with their purchase than the g933s 😂
Killer Bratwurst lol I had the g633 and they were fucking atrocious. They kept falling of my head and they had problems with ShadowPlay recordings.
MPS
Don’t get me started kn the build quality
the G2000s broke after 6 months for me and due to lack of warranty, I had to buy a new headset. This time I got a Logitech G231 while it was on sale and bought a 3-year protection plan for it which means that A) it has good build quality and B) If it breaks, a replacement is free!
I have the g2000s to and I've used them since I got them

Retro. you didnt get the joke
you uploaded this right after I bought a Hyperx cloud core(saved up for 2 months) ffs
Yambergorr cloud 2 is better imo
Imagine having tobsave for 2 months, i dont know-how to...
Austin Layden cloud 2 and core uses the exact same headphone drivers, thus they sound exactly the same and the 7.1 surround is just software
hyper x cloud alpha is better
The cloud core will sound way, way better than any of these cheapo headsets.
the orange&green cables are only if you have one of those computer harddrive boxes that came with windows and there are 3 circles that you plug them with
aight I guess we got it way better in my country,I got a headset Marvo HG8946 which is just beautiful,omnidirectional mic with very good quality,the headphones themself are pretty large and cover your whole ear,volume controls on the left speaker,nice lighting [optional though,i personally dont use it because it's too bright].Overall good product!
The Sades SA-708's personally for me worked really, really well for the year and a half I had them. I was 12 at the time, so obviously my ears fit just fine. The sound quality was great and the mic was worth the money. If you're an adolescent and don't have much money to spend, the SA-708's are for you.
True same for me when I was that age
Do cheap monitors for the next one then we can have a display!
If you're looking for an option I'd recommend the Acer KG240. Can find a refurbished one on Amazon for about $150 USD. (144 hz 1ms TN 24") Any cheaper, may as well use a TV.
Fuck yea dude
I feel like the TN panel might be a bit to far. I would take a 90$ 1080 60 hertz over that maybe.
Nope you can just see it specifications
Really personal opinion though, I just love IPS.
First gaming phones were the sades. Tbh for the price they served super well. The flip up mic was easy to use and had a mute function. If you're a kid fresh outta highschool with no money they will definitely do.
You should try the binnune gaming headset, it come with 50 mm drivers and with a software equalizer they sound as good as the corsair virtuoso plus the mic beat all the major expansive headset and they are very comfortable to wear and they don't look cheap all for under 50$, definitely the best bang for the buck out there currently and no i don't work for the company.
Listening this with my Kotion each G2000 :P
For the cost is perfect i had it for 4 months and it works great, its very comforable, sounds well and it looks cool!
I have no problem with the Ear cups as say'd on the video, i don't feel anything on my ears just comfort (:
Why mic is not working?
"i spent all my money on DLC" So true, with games pretty much released as demos now days lol!
need this series for 2020
I had a Sades SA901 headset for a couple years. Emphasis on 'a couple' because the mic shorted out and died before the 3 year mark. I didn't learn my lesson the first time around and replaced it with a Sades R2, and the mic on that one also died after about 2 years. I'll stick with my HyperX Cloud II.
i really must recommend that you give the sades another shot. knocking them for having glossy plastic seems like a bit of a cheap shot to me, to be honest. i have had mine for around 3 years and i couldn't be happier with them! mine are the usb variant, however. maybe next time do a video on cheap USB head sets? (I flat out REFUSE to use analogue headphones or mics anymore)
I own the kotion each headset and it's pretty good. It has been 3 years since I bought it and it still works as new
Does it have have good sound and for how much u bought it
@@steelixion Yes It hasn't changed at all. Worth the money
