    To me if the headphone executes binaural beats well. The illusion of binaural makes the sound more fully bodied, palpable and good isolation of multiple tracks that's rendering under surround sound drivers for directional hearing

  • @tcg1_qc
    @tcg1_qc Před rokem +5

    I got the HS65 and I am returning them because of the bass problem you mentioned. I play War Thunder, a game with tanks & planes & ships, so lots of explosions, and with these headsets, if I didn't use the flat EQ, the explosion sounds would almost drown out the other sounds, but the problem is the flat EQ is not the best for music, that is a deal breaker for me. Do you have any suggestion for another headset? I actually don't really need a mic, I much rather have good sounding headphones.

    • @MOBHouse
      @MOBHouse  Před rokem +1

      IMO, to save some money, just use a different EQ for gaming and when listening to music. Gaming headphones are never going to be the best at everything. But if they have a good microphone like the HS65, I still find them very very useable, utility wise. Perhaps you could get a pair of normal headphones like the HiFiMan Sundara that I reviewed recently and put on the Antlion Modmic. But that combo is going to set you back at least 5 times the cost of the HS65.

    I am checking different headphones for mic quality and there can be an issue with your hs55 test case. I watched many different reviews and in all of them hs55 was very successful. There was also a comparative test between hs55 and 65, they were very close. I was suspecting if they are same about mic quality, but your video made it clear that they use different things in that part.

    • @MOBHouse
      @MOBHouse  Před rokem +1

      I'm 100% certain that the microphones are different. If you listen to Hardware Canuck's comparison carefully, you'll spot the difference also. I decided to use singing as a way to compare because that would cover a much broader frequency range than speaking for the particular purpose of highlighting any nuances and differences between microphones.

      Firstly, he did not have all the mics level matched that's why some sound louder than others. Honestly, if you're going for the HS55, perhaps consider the Surround version. There's a chance that they have either improved the mic or the USB adapter really makes a difference. I don't know. Since I never tested the Surround version for the HS55.

    So I just got the HS55 interestingly, I've seen other reviews of it that have the audio quality being much better than this video and another video.
    I'll have to test it myself, but I'm wondering if there's some driver issues with the HS55 that get ironed out with iCue being updated. Weirdly, my HS55 came with a USB dongle to adjust things in iCue.
    Great video though!

      In Thailand right now corsair hs65 Surround and surround wireless is not available to buy, even trial products are not available yet. The product is probably out of stock in every store. There are only corsair hs55 series, hs80 series. So I bought HyperX Cloud3 instead. Already The sound is fine for me. It's comfortable to wear, but I think that if I change the earcups from leather to cloth, I'll be able to wear them longer. Now I've ordered a SoundBlaster X3. I think if I get the X3 it will sound better. As for the microphone, I think the C3's microphone sound is very good.And your video is so good it makes me want to try it on and go out and buy a Corsair Hs65 hahaha.
