Top 5 Gaming Headsets for 2017 (Pro)

[@gameranxTV]

For your ears. FYI: if you don't see a headset here, it may be covered in our upcoming budget headset vid (HyperX, etc.)

[@matthewcmg]

gameranx yesss

[@jamesmcguinness4923]

YEAHHHHHHH

[@stoneplanet4497]

gameranx Hi

[@87fh]

gameranx im steve brule and this has been for your ears

[@Jmart786]

Not hating, more of constructive criticism, you guys need to do more research. For $300 you can get yourself a pair of reference headphones and a studio mic, instead of a pair of tin cans with a toy mic and a bunch of LEDs. If you truly want to help your viewers, be careful with what you suggest people to buy and do your research. I personally wouldn't a single one of these headphones for that price, a lot of people are getting ripped off here. Again, not hating just giving you guys some criticism.

[@Berend95]

for Christ's sake please include prices in these types of videos

[@saintsfps716]

why prices dont matter in these vids find it out your self cause if your getting one of these headsets prices shouldnt matter as there basically as much as a console

[@Berend95]

saints FPS well it is still something id like to know if I'd be buying one of these because some are twice the price of the others in this video. beside in the budget accessories videos they don't include prices either

[@silentcog]

I'd probably say it's because prices vary from retailer to retailer and even country to country. As saint said you can easily check the price for yourself and stop being lazy :p

[@Berend95]

If I wouldn't be lazy I'd not be watching this video and I would find something good myself

[@jeanfrancois8395]

Berend Dekker GOOGLE BRO

[@LORDdrPepper]

my wallet really didn't want me to watch this

[@bobdabuildar69]

Maybe ur parents wallet wants to

[@zizimugen4470]

Wow, the mic quality sounds fantastic. How you described it perfectly lets me hear the mic quality.

[@djcook]

a40s on fortnite with the mix amp are killer. number 1 in my heart

[@dannybos7024]

Astro's are overpriced and not worth the money. You can just buy an audiophile headphone and a seperate mic for 150$ and get the same quality.

[@iudex-obscurus]

I got the astro A50's for the ps4... They're perfect if you like to play tactical shooters like rainbow 6... The flip up mute is nice aswell, The sound and battery life span are awesome! All in all i can only say get the astros Il answer questions about the headset!

[@nutmalone5527]

Carnage Sausage a headset is a headset i know its your money but....like come on all the headsets sound the same for me

[@user-xt7tv6ni9s]

Carnage Sausage how much they cost

[@TheZoap]

How is the battery life? My logitech 930s are falling apart, and battery is an important factor

[@iudex-obscurus]

Caleb Bell too much! I got mine because there was a sale goin on...it was 200€

[@lilmosca4607]

Carnage Sausage how long does the battery last

[@naikhou2361]

The HyperX Cloud II's are awesome,Only con is the mic

[@sebastiankielek7576]

Kaneki :3 the mic is super low

[@Zelk360]

Wow.... y'all are popular. Got on to youtube, and saw this video. Noticed it was only published 1 minute ago, and figured I'd be in the first 10. Nope. 232 views. Hurray for gameranx gaining popularity. Love you guys.

[@gameranxTV]

Boom! Thanks!

[@TheJacobbridges25]

awesome video also love the background music you guys had going was just awesome all together

[@anaveragealex5138]

Thanks gameranx, for working as hard as you do for daily videos. There's only like four of you guys.

[@GenJotsu]

Got this turtle beach headset that works with any console or anything with an audio jack, has a good mic, good fit, and good sound, all on sale for $40; what more can you ask for really?

[@justinmontgomery3165]

Same here. good quality, long lasting and cheap. There really is nothing else you can ask for. Tbh I use them for everything, cuz there's no sense in buying an extra pair of headphones exclusively for music or KZbin.

[@jjpablo]

GenJotsu , What more can I ask? Better sound quality.

[@woutvandermeulen1492]

GenJotsu i've worn 250€ turtle beaches and honestly they still feel cheap they still sound cheap and if u wear a headset or headphone that is really high quality i swear it's soooo much better than turtle beaches

[@bradenfrank7308]

GenJotsu I have the elite pro with mix amp and its the nicest headset I've ever owned

[@rustie115]

GenJotsu anything that isn't turtle beach

[@kartikbhasin8513]

When you buy gaming headphones only to hear random guy playing random music.... sigh

[@kartikbhasin8513]

Nawt gawd and praise the lord for that

[@watersnortmoment3734]

kartik bhasin Praise Lord Gaben!

[@tommymack3210]

Depends on what game you play. You probably play toxic games like COD and CSGO. Smh

[@watersnortmoment3734]

Great video. Love you guys. Jake is my fave ❤️

[@OnimushaBoss1]

I've had the same Razer Kraken headset for 4 years now and it's still going strong.

[@LinusScrubTips]

Best gaming headset? Any Sennheiser or similar brand with a antlion mod mic. Hyper x cloud is the only headset without trash audio and a decent mic.

[@therussianemirati]

LinusScrubTips the Razer Kraken V2 has the best microphone + sound with a customizable EQ and amazing Microphone

[@linoz880]

Equinox Quasar lol

[@jessecampos4358]

Razer? Really???

[@KFCMayn]

Equinox Quasar fucken razer fanboy. Razer products are shit. The only good thing is the deathadder.

[@therussianemirati]

KFC Mayn Oh please, tell me that a HyperX cloud has a good mic or good sound, I like razer for their chroma products, and their reliable. Everyone saying " my mouse broke in 3 weeks" are complete lairs and are just making razer look bad.

[@samuszerosuit]

the rubber band is comfortble lol . i bought them 1 week ago , so far so good , 3D audio with horizon and uncharted , simply mind blowing .

[@awkwardsilence4427]

Kandem-Yee Has there been any other games with 3D audio? I've been eyeing the Platinums, but I haven't been able to find a complete list of games that support the 3D audio...

[@Thrash666Wolf]

Best headset: Don't get a headset. Get the Sennheiser HD598's, Philips SHP9500 or Audio Technica M40X's with a modmic or vmoda boom mic instead.

[@doctorlister1356]

Andre Buwalda I did that but I got M50-Xs

[@sanni5754]

TechWithAngelo they are not good

[@Thrash666Wolf]

TechWithAngelo m50x's are okish for gaming, but the m40x's are actually better. Nothing wrong if you do like em, though!

[@Jc2469.]

Andre Buwalda I did that with my m50x. it works pretty well but the wires are annoying lol. having one wire for mic and the other for headset gets bulky when playing but it's not over bearing 9.5/10 would recommend .

[@KapitanPazur1]

+Andre Buwalda HAHA. No thanks, I am not into using such cjheap garbage.

[@Sayonarin]

Glad you put the 800 on the list! I've had one of the older H Wireless version for a while now, best headset purchase I've ever made, and I've made some!

[@Blooprint]

Did anyone else notice that at 2:50 when he says "these headsets allow you to listen to conversation, shit like that." How come my Hyper X can hear those just fine and the Hyper X isnt even on this list.

[@donjuan69420]

I have a turtle beach XO four stealth, great for its price.

[@omarmendoza4170]

Ezekiel Elliott same here

[@muffinstache4996]

Omar Mendoza hey how about let's start our own KZbin channel and what's your ps4 name

[@noodles9408]

Ezekiel Elliott I hate the name that's a deal breaker

[@firstnamesurname1683]

What is the best headphone for hearing footsteps at long ranges, and being abble to hear where people are at all times in fps games, price is not a problem

[@supahman4537]

Aksel Rande my pick would be razer kraken 7.1 version

[@Snugs_TTV]

Logitech does a great job with on board software that is designed for footsteps.

[@ZinalaG59]

I have the XO fours and work great when hearing enemies next to you

[@sekkusupisutoruzu]

Supahman453 TM HAHAHHAHAHHA RAZER?

[@spanky0820]

Went out and got the 800 series because of this review, loving them... thanks alot

[@majesticdetail3422]

I just got a pair of Astro A50 and I couldn't be happier. The sound is amazing and having the ability to switch between three different sound modes is spectacular. The base is easy to connect to my Xbox one X and docking is simple. I did notice that I had to go to Astros website to update the firmware, i would not hold a charge until I did so. What is also a great feature is, having the ability to set up your own sound modes or you can pick the ones Astro has listed. I made the move from Turtle Beach 420X Stealth's to the Astro A50 and what a difference it was. If you have the money to spend on the A50's are a great choice.

[@bernatgordoibach3997]

Thx, will do!

[@meezfreak21]

Astro a40 🙌🙌

[@karp8]

Juwan Evelyn worst headset... shit mic, eh on a comfortable level, and I’ve been through two randomly breaking after about a year

[@riqzee946]

I've had my Astro a50 for about 5years now, since release. Dropped them tons of time, only problem is the rubber mic is starting to get cracks. Still though not a single problem at all. Awesome sound perfect for gaming.

[@arnas784]

i am poor, i dont use any headsets

[@georgiodavid]

arnas784 smartphone headset works very good to.

[@QueenGlory13]

@GamingTV - your right, it always makes me mad when I see kids from not so wealthy families going to the gift shop and buying everything they think is cool, getting a new iPhone every time a new one comes out, spending money on video games, you get it. And then I just think "guys, do you really NEED that? is it ever going to do anything for you?" and "REALLY? you have $50 dollars and you're gonna spend ALL of it on stupid crap like Clash Royale??? And Pokemon Go???"

[@QueenGlory13]

Sorry, I should have clarified, my bad. By "spending money on video games," I mean buying in-game purchases, not buying the game itself.

[@U_O_M3]

ILoveCandyz So who are you to judge? There's better ways to point out what people can't see rather than calling them a bunch of bad things.

[@U_O_M3]

GamingTV I completely agree man. God rewards those who are diligent, hard workers and smart with what they have. We live in an extremely materialistic society and that's probably why everyone is so depressed. They view and amount themselves solely by the things that are tangible to them. It's a delusional messed up world out there.

[@Porkmeat]

just use a microwave

[@danswolo4806]

PorkMeatzz - HackedByScarce is yes

[@jimoses2226]

PorkMeatzz - HackedByScarce That's what everyone else seems to do.

[@samsclub54]

Dude link me your profile pic 😂

[@njord452]

Thats what I do

[@YoushouNoKioku]

I just ordered some Sades, I'm excited to try them!

[@kylecroatoan6341]

I have had the Astro A40s for about 5-6 months now? Give or take a li'l bit. I am absolutely in love with this headset. Super comfortable, easy master volume with the dial to choose whether you want your party chat heavy, or game audio heavy. Plus it has an aux input on the Mixamp Pro so you can play music from your phone or watch a video without disconnecting the headset and plugging it back in. Plus the options for EQ to load up on the Mixamp is a great feature whether to listen to the highs or lows through the game or whatever you're doing. Only real draw back for me, because I play at a desk, the cord from the Mixamp to the headset, I've caught it getting up and pulled the headset to the ground...but still a great headset, plus you can customize with your owns plates on the side and switch to a noise cancelling set up if you want to.

[@Safouan0]

okay if i dont care it costs 7000$ or something what do i buy

[@EdgeOfDarkness86]

nicolas lundsteen Depends what you want. If you want a gaming headset go with the Sennheiser Game one. Headphones with a mod mic or a usb mic is the best option for really good audio.

[@Safouan0]

Fredrik HL i want one with a decent mic but really good sound

[@EdgeOfDarkness86]

nicolas lundsteen Go with the Sennheiser Game one in that case great mic and great audio. They are more or less the Sennheiser HD598 with a good mic added.

[@Safouan0]

Fredrik HL ok thanks

[@noodles9408]

nicolaszx1234 Logitech>Senheiser

[@heffeathome]

I HAVE THE G933 BOIS LETSSSSS GOOOOOOOO

[@sundown13x]

heffeathome I love my g933s they work awesome with my pc, ps4 and Xbox

[@thomasvisser8557]

Dorian GrimStorm does the surround sound work on ps4

[@UzbekCexKing]

Thomas visser no

[@robbyfind5313]

me too bro !!!

[@Who-Uhm-Cares]

Thomas visser Only the shit Playstation headset's allow 7.1 But trust me 7.1 sounds awful on Console's in general.

[@marc4008]

Just get high-end headphones and a modmic or blue snowball

[@al8in673]

I have that but having a blue snowball is good and bad like sometimes my friends cant hear me and my mic audio cuts of. But also my mic quality is amazing

[@marc4008]

Yeah I get the same thing, it's usually not that bad

[@Aimela136]

Eh, I'm not so big on USB mics. I had a Blue Snowball iCE mic and it worked okay in Windows(but needed to be unplugged and plugged back in to work and prevented Dark Souls from starting when plugged in) and oddly did not work at all with ALSA in any Linux OS(although I've heard the regular Blue Snowball works fine). Anyway, I use an XLR mic now and I prefer to have the digital component being a separate sound card or DAC, it's less prone to issues and you have more control over your audio.

[@awesomecoolepicawesome]

Stereo sound? No thanks.

[@andresgallego5727]

Dude stereo is better than simulated 7.1, that shit just mess up the sound quality.

[@themajesticspider-man6116]

You probably just convinced me to get the Logitech headset (the #1 headset in the list). Nice.

[@ridered300]

I love my Logitech G933, something you didn't mention that I really like is it has dual input - wireless from the usb dongle and it has a 3.5mm headphone jack. This might seem kinda redundant and maybe useless if you don't listen to music while gaming, but I play music from my phone through the 3.5mm so I can pause it, lower the volume etc. separate from my pc. Some games *cough Bethesda* crash when you alt-tab out to play with your music player and some don't let you use your keyboard media controls unless you open your media app as admin, so it just makes it more simple to listen to your music off your phone. I imagine this would be good for consoles too, idk if you can play music while gaming on xbox 1 or ps4...

[@philithunder9667]

Where is steelseries arctis? are those considered budget??

[@EdgeOfDarkness86]

PhiliThunder They are cheaper than the headsetes on this list.

[@sweetballs3035]

Its not that Good tho

[@LonerDonor]

I know it is late, but I came from the arctis 5's to the 7's. The arctis headsets are awesome, I've been reported for cheating because I can where everyone is.

[@BA-dweet]

do you use the dts x though?

[@xxgopass1vexx441]

PhiliThunder guys can u pls respond to me as soon as possible I need to know which is better a40tr or a50? I want to know which is better in sound mic and comfort

[@DissolvedMotions]

Have had the Steelseries headset for a loong time now. It is just perfect. In every way. And with the Soundblaster Z soundcard, with Dolby Digital Live (live surround sound encoding), the sound is frickin fantastic. And I have tried the others. If you want to buy, BUY THIS!

[@oozgur]

steelseries 800 must have been the number one because the 7.1 surround sound works both on pc and ps4 in the others it just works for pc

[@SuperDarkLord7]

Vince Friel that’s not what it says on Amazon

[@Ali-db8je]

I bought the logitech ones in this list and onestly i hear every single footstep in rainbow six siege and that actually helped a lot in my performance

[@mothertruxkthesystem]

ali the gamer What about other games, do you have the same experience? I’m looking around, and I might buy those.

[@Ali-db8je]

Jeff _ onestly go and buy them and u wont regret

[@Ali-db8je]

[@mylifemychoice2686]

Woody did ya get the dam headphone?

[@xxTacolord]

got the logitech g933 recently, I've been nothing but pleased with them.

[@olli5997]

HyperX Cloud II

[@KebeQ]

NeymarSkillZ ت the mic is shit in it

[@KristerNielsen]

I agree with Enfield. I own this headset but the microphone quality is just really bad. The headset itself is however very comfortable and has good audio quality.

[@TurboSauceOA]

Nalle Puh the cord can easily break, you know how in earbuds when one side doesn't work? Yeah that happened with the Cloud II

[@kaede8848]

Nalle Puh Yea I have hyper x cloud core which are basically Hyperx 1 or whatever it’s called

[@tigersunruss]

These suck for xbox one, I just bought them and then returned them. They are primarily made for PC users and I could see them being great for that but for console, they are a one star.

[@nickrandolph1912]

I just got the Astro A50s late 2016 (when they where released) and I love them. I highly recommend them if you have the money to spend. Also the mic quality has greatly improved from the older Astro headsets.

[@joel4792]

Nick Randolph I got my Astro a50s (for Xbox one) today and I am absolutely loving them

[@scottg1144]

Hey nick, I am thinking about buying those astros. Are they still good? Any complaints?

[@Rxfzwashere]

Derpy Derpbrough yep amazing

[@flashsmoke3100]

the Turtle Beach Stealth 520's have 50mm speakers, chat boost and outside noise cancellation, they have 7.1 surround sound, supreme bass, superhuman hearing, and it ISN'T FUCKING INCLUDED??? WTF GAMERANX

[@robertoypunto319]

They're not comfortable

[@KNGKIP]

The plastic is cheap af mine snapped yesterday never buying another turtle beach headset again straight up trash

[@nonyabidness7207]

Turtle Beach is crap, crap, crap!!!

[@joostvanewijk591]

KingkipTv you should buy the turtle beach stealth it is really good

[@onezombie830]

Steele series is crap crap crap.

[@Mr.Exzibit]

I own the Razer Kraken 7.1 Chroma and honestly I couldn't be in love with them more. They provide great audio quality, the microphone is awesome, it has good noise cancellation. My sister was talking to me 2 feet away from me and my friend heard nothing but me whilst playing games. Instead of having an audio jack it plugs in through USB. It fits around my ears perfectly and they don't really get sweaty. The microphone also can be pullet out and in, it is very flexible and also has a mute button for those times when you don't want the person you're speaking with to hear what you say. For the price I payed, I think it was well worth it.

[@nickihuevos221]

I love Logitech and that neon look sold me on em Might just be picking these up and retiring my Hyper X Stingers

I have a set of the wireless G933 and I have to say I love them. I do get a bit of ear fatigue when wearing for a long time but that's one of the coolest things. the battery lasts for such a crazy long time!

[@moonmessiah9368]

Ummm game zeroes need an amp/dac to actually work. They're 150 ohm your motherboard or controller aren't going to give it the juice it needs.

[@sidecar5124]

is that why i feel the audio is flat and pretty flat bass? WHy does the mic seema bit quiet, does an amp make the mic bettre?

[@mastermhmd]

yeah an amp is going to give it the juice it needs.

[@gallien]

They are CRAP for gaming. They should take the game out of the title. Avoid.

[@Manakuski]

Yeah right. I've had the G4ME Zero. It was awesome with just a Sound Blaster Z. Best mic in any gaming headset. Best sound clarity. Being able to actually hear accurately what's going on is the thing in competitive gaming, not distorted shit bassheavy boomboom with no ability to distinct things like footsteps. Then i bought the Sennheiser Game One and it's even better, the ability to hear where things are coming from with the absolute best soundclarity/natural sound is just amazing.

[@user-x7an3kgjanf9]

I feel like the astro a50 is not so good comparing too this list and that the SteelSeries Arctis 3/5/7 Are better than the SteelSeries Siberia 800.

[@EidanMA]

siberia is liteally the best lineup from steelseries tho

[@petrsasek6077]

Because they are mostly overpriced shit :D

[@sekkusupisutoruzu]

Razer suck

[@hetvlogmannetjevlog7270]

I dont need wireless ....

[@nikkolaus]

I will NEVER NEVER NEVER buy another Logitech gaming headset again... I've had 2 sets of G930s, and 3 sets of G933s... Now you're probably asking "well, idiot, why did you buy so many if you hate them so much" ... well, that's because every single one of them broke in some way or another... I am 100% done with them now, after my G933 (3rd set) conked out on me this evening and refused to re-pair to the original USB Receiver, after an update. Then, when it finally did pair up, I got mic clicks occasionally in TS3. Drove me to the point of almost throwing them across the room. You've been warned. If you want to RMA them every 6 months, by all means, grab some 933s ... but, I won't say I told ya so... Buy at your own risk.

[@i3oosted]

You broke 5 headsets, maybe its you.

[@alexiadylon6142]

There is obviously something very wrong with how your using the set if you broke that many? why do people like yourself keep buying a product it it keeps failing on you? your reason why you keep buying them does not make any sense at all?

[@alexiadylon6142]

If your handling of tech is as bad as your handling of criticism I can see why you want through so many sets.

[@nikkolaus]

Alexia dylon well what do you want me to say? "yeah I trashed them hard" ?! .... no! I was gentle with them every fucking day..... it was INTERNAL COMPONENTS that failed on me, thanks to their shitty quality control and construction! so before you go spouting off at me, you need to inquire as to what the full siuation is.........

[@i3oosted]

nikkolaus all this butthurtness probably caused you to mistreat them and break, should look into anger management classes

[@EtaParseids]

I use Lucid Sound's LS30 headset. Picked them up at Pax East 2016. There are two mics on the headset (one boom one built-in) and they're sub-par, but the headset itself is pretty darn good. Very solid construction, amazing sound quality, plug-and-play for PC, XBone and PS4. Plus they are wireless and the battery lasts for ~8 hours continuous use. Recharges via micro-usb. Also have very easy on-ear controls for both in/out volumes.

[@TBAG]

maybe you should include the retail price

[@du6ee]

Sennheiser HD558 with a modmic or snowball and you're set. Don't waste your money on a "gaming" headset.

[@danie2263]

Du6e how comfortable is it?

[@jimoses2226]

Du6e That's quite expensive, I'm searching for budget headphones, a good mic, with good audio quality.

[@jimoses2226]

Du6e After looking at the prices of these it seems I'm in the wrong place to complain about stuff being pricey...

[@johna2226]

But you can’t use a snowball on xbox...

[@johna2226]

But that would be a great idea

[@erwinvanhouwe5399]

I like the Turtle Beach headsets

[@sicko1998]

Erwin Vanhouwe which do u use?

[@tomcanty8856]

I too like over priced pieces of plastic that literally break in a WEEK after purchase...

[@sicko1998]

Tom Canty what headset do you recommend...I don’t know what to get?

[@tomcanty8856]

Well that is a good question that I'm trying to find the answer to as of late. I used to recommend the Astro a50's, until they broke on me for the second time. The audio on them is amazing and their locational sound is literally EXACT. You may have better luck in terms of longevity if you get the a50's and if so that's probably the best option for gaming that's there. If you wanted something mainly or purely for music, movies or singeplayer games such as skyrim, ark and such I'd get something from Audio-Technica or Sennheiser. But If you are gaming and want to hear precise footsteps/locations or feel like immersion is best when you can hear the things around you accuratly where they are in game, I'd definitly go astro a50's, a40's (bit cheaper and open end (some argue have a bigger sound stage, but for a40's it isn't really true) or if you want an even cheaper but not 'cheap' headset Sennheiser Game one's/zero's (one is open back, the other is closed) are the easy winner for gaming and offer a nice experience for music/movies aswell!

[@sicko1998]

Tom Canty ok and how comfortable are the A50s? Because I game for long periods of time

Where is Steelseries Arctis 5???

[@albertwang3536]

Yaumil Taufik Akbar Arctis 7 is way more worth it.

[@jahblo666]

sweet! cover more gaming peripherals, that was great.. but next time I would appreciate if you mention the prices as well:)

[@OhYeahSimulator]

I have the Astro A40s and I've had no issues with them. Astro for me is the go to brand because it fits my head. When I used Turtle Beach headsets, I would always have a headache and ear ache for some reason as if they were compressing my ears. With the Astro A40 I can wear them all day and I am considering upgrading to the A50s! Thanks Jake for the awesome video!

[@uhalfsteppin5]

PhNx Scar3cRow don't upgrade stay with a40 s lol a 50 do have a shitty mic, I had em and turn them bk in and kept my a40

[@Solt-sd3km]

Where is the Turtle Beach Elite 800? And with that where was Turtle Beach at all on this list? They are a great brand and they specialize in gaming headsets.

[@JRowan3]

Sol33t303 lmao turtle beaches suck

[@russjordan6186]

Sol33t303 they sound like shit

[@dragonslayer2337]

King James yeah thats your own opinion honestly I feel that turtle beach is great and if u look it up they are on a lot of top gaming headset lists by the way saying that they sound bad is completely false this is like a proven fact I have talked on a turtle beach mic before and it sounds amazing it sounds like I'm talking to you face to face it's my actual true voice instead of crap quality that sounds like your talking into a box

[@droiduser33]

I bought the px4 gaming headset from them and it was straight garbage. Sound Constantly cutting in and out with static noise. 8 out of 10 people who bought this headset Experienced the same thing with absolutely no feedback from turtle beach.

[@stallebrass]

I have the tb elite 800... snapped at the ear cup pivot today. Been using them for about 18months. Sound is shit to be honest, just not loud enough and the surround is no better than a pair of cheapo earbuds. not worth the money IMO, but the dock charge is great. No custom sound profile for BF1 (or Battlefront, when I played it)!

[@jonsnorriveigarsson3182]

So kawai \(^-^)/

[@NexusSpacey]

Jón Snorri Veigarsson litterally the first guy that made me want to use newgrounds again

[@RobinMadsenDK]

I use the G933 aswell :) and i really love it! its a awesome headset and will totally recommend ^^

[@FinxOmally]

Arctis 7.. love this thing!

[@gilbertogamberini5244]

best headset is wireless? ahahahahahahahahahaha

[@harrisonqu8359]

holy shit i cant believe the G933 is still up there! I bought it 2 years ago and came here expecting different headsets that may outmatch it. Sweet! Still the best!

[@KillerCookie]

Currently rocking the Sennheiser 598's, an Antilion modmic and a FiiO E10K, fantastic audio quality for gaming, music and other media!

[@tntdude64]

I've been thinking about getting a ModMic for my 650s do you think the sound quality is worth the $40?

[@KillerCookie]

ADCBot If you're just using it for gaming and chatting with friends it's perfect but when it comes to anything professionally I'd recommend looking for something better.

[@ismaelbelal9670]

I loved this video. If you guys can do a mouse and keyboard one. I have ben wanting to buy a new headset mouse and keyboard and this is helpful. Plz do a alot more of this.

[@rbaleksandar]

Beside the "Look at how fancy I'm glowing" LEDs on a headset do have a purpose. If you game at night and put your headset somewhere in the dark (on your chair for example) if the thing's not glowing, the chances of you stepping/sitting on it and breaking it are definitely something to consider.

[@Stephen8454]

I have the logitech glowy ones. I LOVE the surround sound with DTS enabled playing games. These however were a gift but I still recommend them. But if I had a choice I would love to hear the sound on one with the best audio obviously :D

[@MIGeoMous]

Great video thx... i think i ll get the G933

[@MrGrundy45]

Happy to see the Logitechs I bought a month or so ago as number 1.

[@hkoizumi3134]

I use Bose Quiet comfort myself. It is the most comfortable headset I ever owned in 20years. I sit next to a load portable AC unit so having active noise cancelling really does help. I can enjoy my content at lower volume and easy for my ear.

[@Jeriah]

Turtle Beach X12, I have add these headphones for 4 years, Still work.

[@danielwheels9529]

I got the Star Wars turtle beach headset Amazing plug and play with great audio and good mic

[@knock6446]

I'm still rockin the good ol' HyperX Cloud II's

[@sersageroll4027]

this channel is the best

[@thesneakinspider3193]

I love my Sentry Arches that were $25 and they have great sound and directional and very good bass along with a decent Mic.

[@matthewsjoblomms]

As of lately been using the, Turtle Beach Stealth 600. But, also recently picked up the Stealth 700 to use with the app. Also picked up the, Steele Series 800 as well. Gonna give those a shot too

[@haze4828]

I actually went through a few different options when I bought a new daily headset, including the Astro A50's but the Logitech are great if you like to use two different audio sources at the same time, something none of the others seem to do. Playing games on the Xbox or PS4 while being able to listen to music on youtube on the PC through the same headset is handy for me.

[@LuckySkillz137]

If you do another video for high end headphones, you have got to check out the Turtle Beach 800X Elite for Xbox one. It's one of the most expensive headphones, but i've had mine for almost 2 years now and it is amazing.

[@CrobraStrike27]

-Listening to this on my G933 -Watches 5-2 -Is my baby in there? -Sees number 1 -A wild smirk appears -G933 Master Race \O

[@ManningMoore]

I personally use the sennheiser hd598's with a ModMic clipped on it. My absolute favorite setup for audio

[@BRDRSTER]

Got the a50s gen 3 great headset. With the right eq settings you can hear all footsteps.

[@Albylion]

The Sennheiser PC 363D is awesome--has 7.1 surround sound and one of the best mics I've ever heard. I use it for voiceovers.

[@gogopossum]

Snug selling point on the Astro A50's is that you are COMPLETELY wireless on Xbox one. No need for a chat adapter! That is reason enough to buy, and I'm very happy with mine.

[@goktug6855]

I had a razer kraken 7.1 it was a gift from my brother. And it died yesterday and i dont much about these kind of stuff. Thank you for your recomendations now i have some ideas.

[@closed5912]

Best Gaming headset : Everything without gaming in the name.

[@Tino364]

Kingston Hyper X Cloud 2 is by far the best gaming headset I've ever used for its price. Super comfortable and good audio/mic

[@AnUnknownUser85]

Been running with the Astro A40's with a mix amp for a while now and really like them. Never too sure about the sound quality on wireless headsets.

[@user-po5yu2gp6o]

I love my PS Gold headset for PS4. I have never had an issue even when gaming for hours. For PC my Bowers and Wilkins P5 headphones do the job well, and they are incredibly comfortable for long periods of time.

[@YupTurtle83]

I own the logitech 633 and those things are awesome...best sound so far from all my headsets.

[@johnnou899]

I use the corshair void wireless and its being doing great things for me on PC

[@Saskfire-ww9hj]

An honourable mention I would like to give is the Logitech g430 not much customization but it has that surround sound pretty affordable very comfy only gets uncomfy after 7-8 hours of straight gaming all in all I love it
