I like the balance between depth and brevity going over each headset; I would suggest (as much as this is focused on 2024 releases) to compare it to, say, the top 1 from last year? Maybe something along the lines of best sounding from last year (and if last year's best-sounding is from 2022, then maybe carry that over)? I think that will be really helpful to buyers, especially since older gear tends to be less expensive (and if they're better quality than even the new stuff, that just makes them a bigger steal imho).

The Asus Delta II are legitimately good. Don't care for the RGB personally, but just turned that off. I use my Sennheiser PC37X (open back) a lot of the time but when I want zero distractions and play a game where footsteps or harder to hear details are important then the Delta II are my go to. It's also nice to have a gaming headset that you can remove the mic, never use a mic when I game, and unfortunately the Sennheiser PC37X has a non detachable mic even if it can be rotated up out of the way

@jesuisahmednАй бұрын
Great video overall, and I loved the inclusion of GadgetryTech, but I found something to be lacking here in that videos like this make it hard to figure out which of these headphones actually sound good / better than the other. There is no reference point. Sure, you guys talked over the objective sound metrics, but that is not enough. We need the subjective takes from you guys about how these headphones sound, and especially how they sound compared to headphones of the past. Like, for example, comparing the Alienware Pro to the Audeze Maxwell, or comparing the Alienware Pro to the ASUS Rog Delta 2, or comparing the ASUS Rog Delta to how they sound against the Logitech G Pro X 2 That said, I understand y'all have a limited time to work with, but just saying what's helpful for us, the consumers
@randomfrankpАй бұрын
What’s the point of a “subjective” test, when everyone hears things different and perceives sounds differently, when we can give you the literal objective measurements to show you how they sound. You can then compare each sound chart, giving you the comparison without bias. This video is already a half hour long with 7 different headsets. It’s not a dedicated review of each, but a general overview of each.
@jesuisahmednАй бұрын
@randomfrankp I'm not an expert in audio, so excuse my ignorance, but my understanding from looking into headphones is that objective sound measurements don't tell the whole story i.e., a perfectly tuned headphone doesn't mean that it will sound better than a slightly out of tune headphone because there are other metrics to audio e.g. detailing For example, in his reviews, GadgetryTech has a section for Subjective Sound in his reviews where he often talks about how, for example, the Alienware Pro sounds a degree better than the Logitech G Pro X 2, and saying that it sounds like a significantly more expensive headset. That tells me a LOT more than talking about the objective sound measurements, which can usually be tuned more or less anyway with an EQ. Additionally, GadgetryTech, when talking about the sound quality of the ASUS Rog Delta 2 in his review said that it has less detailing in the audio than the Logitech G Pro X 2. This again told me a lot, and it helped paint a picture in my mind about how the audio quality is ranked between these headsets: ASUS Rog Delta 2 < Logitech G Pro X 2

Otherwise we'd just be wearing studio headphones. I really don't think the microphone quality factored in enough for this ranking. I genuinely don't think the 700's should even be on this list. The microphone is downright horrendous and the all around quality is a joke at the full retail price.
