Affordable vs Expensive Gaming Headsets - Lower Can Be Better!

[@peterderbeste6817]

please make a comparison between a wired and a wireless headset(s), to show what you have to give up for wireless :) great video, keep up the good work!

[@NateT092]

PeterDerBeste slight less audio quality. With wire you have ability to plug into PC sound card or amp, which will sound even better. Gotta worry bout charging the headset to function. Thats unless its like my headset steelseries 7 wireless, which as ability to do both.

[@andrewchen9054]

PeterDerBeste I personally prefer wired headsets because they don’t have to be charged but with wired you have to deal with the cable brushing against your shoulder not that big a deal though

[@LieshaCichol]

You're looking at someone who ended up with headphone shaped brick after contact point in wireless headset crapped out. Wired have less likelihood of failure, would be my reason to stick to one.

I know you're not a hardcore audiophile but THANK YOU for at least describing the sound and telling us how detailed it is in the lows, mids and highs! I'm so sick of tech reviewers reviewing headphones without mentioning how it sounds. Saying it's loud or "it sounds good" doesn't help anyone when buying headphones.

[@shaderade420a]

My corsair void pro headset works nice and has decent sound but something internal literally broke the first time i pushed one of the buttons in and now it just jingles around in there.. annoying af

I got the GSP 300 by your recommendation and I'm not regretting spending the money on it, my best purchase so far! My only gripe is that the cable is a little too thin and I'm always looking for not damaging it with the chair, as I have to connect the headset to the back of my pc which is sitting under the desk, but overall is a really good headset for the price

the HS53 sounded the best with the mic.

[@noext7001]

where to buy it ?

[@N0N0111]

Yeah i agree HS53 sounded best! I wonder which Windows 10 Default format he is using for recording his microphone. I can hear difference between 16bit - 24bit ,and for sure 24bit sound more fuller.

Is it still alive?

[@Melarancida]

@@cypheronjv3939 Mic has been dead for two months now. Heaphones are still working ok though but the padding has come unstitched. Recently moved on to the HD 599, much better channel separation. The GSP 300 are great if you find them no sale. Otherwise I would not reccomend them now. They lasted two years of heavy use, mind you.

[@antraxbeta23]

i have the GSP 300 , and i can say they are a beast for the price , i don't like the cable tho , feels cheap and fragile , but so far it's alive since one year :D

[@JesseArt]

Could you do a comparison video on building your own gaming headset using higher quality relatively inexpensive headphones combined with 3.5mm boom or in-line microphone cables? I recently put down my Sennheiser PC 37Xs for a pair of Philips SHP9500s combined with the V-Moda BoomPro microphone cable. I got the SHP9500s on sale for about $60 USD, and the BoomPro mic was around $28 USD, and the combination is easily comparable if not even better/more comfortable than my PC 37Xs. As far as I can tell, the BoomPro mic is also comparable to Sennheiser's. I have received zero complaints from teammates when gaming for extended periods of time (3+ hours in a sitting). Sound cards and other DAC/Amp audio solutions also make a HUGE difference at these price points as many on-board audio solutions and drivers make inexpensive or mid-range headsets just sound atrocious. Even just a $100 internal sound card like the Creative SoundBlaster Z or a simple external Class T amp by the likes of SMSL (like $60-90) can amplify the signal enough to make your cheap equipment sound much better. Maybe another video idea = inexpensive headphone amp that really improve audio quality for those best bang-for-the-buck headphones and headsets. Maybe less than $130-150 total audio solution?

[@skilrows9011]

GSP 300 is not only in blue, GSP 301, 302 and 303 are the same headsets in white, red and black.

[@huanhaowu5030]

Hey, a little recommendation. For the next comparison video, it would be ideal if you put a little tag on the lower side of the screen for the viewer to know the name of the headset and what kind of commentary your are making. Let's say like: HS50 Mic quaility

[@Simgiov]

Got my GSP300 at 65€ on a sale. Fantastic headphones, though mic is strange. My real life friends says that it doesn't sound like my real voice, even though it's clear and detailed.

[@playingwithstyle]

Hello can I ask you which is better in one word? sennheiser gsp 350 or hyperx cloud revolver s?

[@G-flo]

Listening from the HS50s. Best pair of cans I've ever bought.

[@krisztiangabor9879]

If you aren't really safe with the hs50's,the plastic part that covers the adjustment part breaks easily and after a few months the clamping force drastically lowers. Also your ears touch the drivers which becomes quite uncomfortable after an hour or so,and gunk gets in the mesh on the sides.

[@SamCampbell]

I like the new "real world playing matches on camera". Great work

i have the Logitech G933 right now and want to upgrade. I play FPS games like fortnite or PUBG. I was looking at the steel series arctic pro with the DAC. I do not know much about using a dac but from reviews and what i have seen people are saying its better off to get a Dac that can work on any headset. What would you recommend. I was looking at the Senheiser gsp 500 and GSX 1000 or is there a better option for less? Thank you!

[@erfanrasoolpour8038]

well in my country gsp300 is 15% more expensive than GH60, do you recommend going for gsp 300? I'm a little confused!!

[@icemedia4830]

I bought the Steelseries Arctis 5 for $140 CAD and I've never been happier with a headset. It's comfortable (I've used in 8+ hours gaming sessions without problem) and they sound amazing. Unbeatable in my opinion.

[@NateT092]

IceFTW they are great. Have the acrtis 7 which is same audio drivers. Plugged into a PC Sound card only makes it even better, after eq adjusting.

[@vangledosh]

Clearly don’t know shit about audio. These are fucking awful compared to any sub 100 dollar headphone from a REAL audio company. Sennheiser PC38X would blow anything from Steelseries right out of the water for a much cheaper price.

Anyone having issues with the Corsair HS50 where the mic picks up the audio playing from the earcups?

[@zerozerotwosix]

Hey Dmitry, really like your review videos. Would like to ask if you made comment on the microphone quality listening to them directly through the headset (I mean like for example commenting on the Sennheiser's mic listening to the sound drivers from same Sennheiser headset) or have you pre-recorded all the microphones sound and then listening to all of them from only 1 headphone/monitoring speakers, maybe like a referencing headphone. Don't get me wrong, I really think your opinions on the microphone quality are 100% on-point, just wondering how do you compare the microphones so accurately.

[@SBVCP]

I am both a passionate gamer and a music enthousiast. Sound is a big deal, as you won't buy a 50$ monitor... One has to put what needs to be for quality. An AKG K702 is about 120$ and nothing can compare to this pure clean professionnal quality. Modmic it if you really need a mic like that, or use a nice external microphone like a Yeti Snowball which costs less and has no flaw, be it for voice chat or voice over and you have the best audio quality one can buy for far less $ than those "pay the brand" sponsors "gaming" whatnots.

In terms of sound and mic quality, the GSP 300 is fantastic. It was a bit uncomfortable for me though, my ears touched the driver.

Not that I don't like the headset, but I've only heard good things about it, so I wanted to share this here.

[@Phillyswirl123]

Just a heads up about the HS50 - the small piece of plastic that is screwed in and holds the pivot area in broke on me after about 6 months of light use. Not sure if I over stretched it. It started creaking first and then eventually cracked.

"fantastic sound" for $100, no no no.. Never ever going back to gaming headsets.

[@galaxygs96]

Why what is the product you use

[@assholeoutlaw]

many people choose to use regular headphones that have a detachable cable to attach their own microphone to. a common example this is the philips shp9500 with the v moda boom pro microphone. that’ll run you about $115 in the U.S. tho. it’s just that when you’re in the $100 price range for a good gaming audio setup, going for a headset is pointless when you can get a good headphone and a good microphone for the same price, whereas you’re most likely compromising on audio quality and mic quality on a headset. محمد السعدي

It depends on the headphones. I have a big head and wear glasses with a thick frame. The headphones I tried and found comfortable with glasses: Beyerdynamic DT 770, AKG K712, Monolith M1060 and B&O H6. I also tried the Audio Technica M50x and Sennheiser Momentums but they had too much clamping force for me and were uncomfortable.

Dome Z Indeed. I also tried out some Audio Techincas but they had too much clamping force and I returned them after just 2 days to Amazon.

dimitri which keyboard and mouse are you using now?

[@TheYounggun972]

would the corsair hs60 be on par with the $100 headphones?

[@Kill0rbAg]

To be honest: In my opinion I would never get something else than a HyperX Cloud standard wired headset in ANY price range, unless you plan to listen to music while doing NOTHING else. It sounds great, the mic is ok and for very different tonality you can swap out pads like crazy. If you can cheaply source brainwavz sheepskin pads from somewhere you can even get a nice balanced sound with a pretty wide soundstage for a closed back headphone. If you really want to step up your game get serious and buy headphones for at least 150-200 bucks. Everything below will most likely be more of a "sidegrade" than an upgrade and just isn't worth the extra amount of money, especially not in the headset market. Until Audeze Mobius arrives at my doorstep and proves to be awesome I would never recommend "high end" headsets period. Sennheisers have not been stellar price to performance wise and beyerdynamics is toooo "special" in it's tuning to be more than just a glorified device for gaming only. The Clouds are good value for the money, even for headphones in general and for a real upgrade just save up your money for a few months or years and get a good headphone with a decent Dac&Amp combo.

[@Kill0rbAg]

Sorry, but I disagree. The audiophile market in itself is a very niche market and we saw with Audeze and (sadly) Ossic X that the demand for this is not low. And to be honest, I don't see how the price is too high in relation to the market it targets. Quite the opposite actually. You get a Bluetooth headphone with LDAC a detachable mic, a somewhat public friendly design, a 3D function that is reportedly superb and to top it of a 100 mm Planar driver with Fazors. I don't see how these are features that most people will never use or the broad audio and gamer market doesn't care about. Quite the opposite actually, it's more like the ultimate crowd pleaser. LDAC will automatically be used via Android, most people nowadays that don't have a clue about anything want Bluetooth in general and the headset function including the 3D Audio is exactly what the gamer market wants, top it off with a probably high end sound (as far as closed headphones are concerned) and you have far more to offer than Sennheiser or Beyer in the same price bracket. I'm still fearful of the sound quality though, since I'm a bit skeptical about the Cipher DAC&DSP solution including the fact you won't be able to use your own audio chain but I'm open for it and looking at Audezes track record the worry is slight at best.

[@mohammadalsaeid5708]
