Wireless Gaming Headset Roundup

[@Senpai]

Which headset would you have liked us to add in here? Maybe we'll do a follow up in the future.

[@SeaWiseBrain]

Budget versions like what you did with the mics would be cool!

[@DocGibby]

Razer Opus

[@chrisk5169]

I have been using Logitech G-733. They are super comfortable, look really cool, not bulky, very lightweight, and very easy to connect with a standard USB wireless connection. Also the Logitech G-hub is super easy to use, escpecially because I have the Logitech G-pro wireless. Everything feels really nice. Also, G-huh connects to my Yeti X mic which is really nice.

[@zitoc09]

You need to make comfort it's own category. Really matters for those who listen or game for hours at a time.

[@Volker_A4]

If you want long term comfort I wouldn't recommend a wirless headset tbh. Even my Arctis Pro gets heavy after a while. I would however Highly recommend the Arctis 3 Bluetooth. You use it wired for gaming and it can wirelessly connect to your phone for calls/music simultaneously. That thing is much lighter than my Arctis Pro and It's very versatile because of it. I've used it as a primary gaming headset before, but it's so comfortable that I also use it while I'm doing yardwork. Comfort wise I have worn that thing all day and it still feels cool and light.

[@zitoc09]

@@Volker_A4 This is a fair point however many people prefer the freedom of a wireless headset. Some don't have the privilege to buy a headphones for listening around the house and a headset to game on. I like the ability to get up and stretch, go grab a snack or answer the door while still listening and chatting with my friends.

[@PortableOppertunity]

@@zitoc09 The one i use and it is great is the Sony WH1000MX3. microphone isnt the best but Its bluetooth, light, sounds great, long lasting battery 15 hours pluss, and it has noise cancellation. only thing is that its software is not so good on windows, but i managed to make it work no problem.

[@lvkas5102]

@@zitoc09 I'd recommend the G733. It is very comfortable and wireless. Though the mic quality is a bit bad

[@necator647]

Cannot agree more. Especially for those of us with larger heads.

[@QMaverick1]

I've got an Arctis 7 and also love it. What surprised me the most is when you said "I'm not going to take off points for a mic no one is going to use." That's weird because I think MOST people, who aren't big into streaming, buy these headsets expecting to use the mics, which is another thing I love about my Arctis 7--for an integrated mic, is pretty freaking good. Or, to put it more succinctly: I think you should've tested and rated the mics too. :-)

One more thing: Did you hear any static white noise/hiss from any of those wireless headphones? I switched between Artics 9, G Pro and now using Artics Pro, all of them had that noise in them while no sound is being played. Super annoying, starting to think that it has something to do with my environment and my room, not the headsets, but still can't figure out what it is.

My thoughts at the beginning: I just picked up a set of Steelseries Arctis Wireless Pro and am stoked to use them! My thoughts at the end: I'm still glad I picked up the Arctis Pro Wireless!

[@villerasku]

First time I'll actually give my two cents in a youtube comment. Firstly: Talking about wireless headsets and not mentioning battery life is a big omission. For example, the Cloud Flights 30 hour battery life should definitely be mentioned when talking about it compared to the others. Secondly, having tried most of these headsets, I'm beginning to feel like the ones Harris has, and the ones we have in the EU have to be different because; JBL: Was trying to demo these a few times at my work, yet every time (on several different pc:s) downloading the JBL software, got me a corrupted text file every time, so theres something to be said about that. Corsair: The sound quality the several times I've used them has been significantly better than the Razers Biggest difference here, The Astro vs Steelseries: I've had a few pairs of both of these headsets so far, and my experiences couldn't be further from Harris'. - The Astro sound quality is miles above the Steelseries. The (3) ones I've had from steelseries have been laughable in terms of sound quality. Everything is tinny, there is literally 0 bass to be gotten from the headphones (even with the leather "closed back" cushions you can buy for them) no matter how much you try and play with the EQ settings. After the third pair, and not getting any similar experiences from people on the interwebs, I was sure it was just me, but I've actually ran in to a few irl acquaintances that have expressed the exact same experiences. - The Astro EQ settings are also really not brought any justice here, I have 3 presets for very different things, 1 for gaming that is very crips and clear with still nice bass and can hear footsteps just as well as I can with my Sennheiser Hi-Fi headphones, 1 for movies with that lovely booming bass that really makes you feel like you're in a cinema and 1 for music which really brings out every little aspect of any song I listen to. Now I don't claim to be an audio guy by any means, just a guy that really wants to hear stuff really well when gaming, and with a rather large head, want to feel comfortable in really long gaming sessions, and the Astros provide me with all of the above. I really love the hot swapping batteries in the steelseries, but it is seriously the only positive thing I can say about the headset. TLDR: After several units, in the EU, for me, Astros have been better than the steelseries every time. PS. Sorry for typos. English not being my main language and all that

[@r00kiet80]

the only reason i dont want to buy astros is because they look so goddamn stupid like a 12 year old designed them

Appreciate the personal review. How are they holding up? And how would you still rate them after more usage?

I've used a Steelseries Arctis 7 for nearly 3 years now, and it's been the single greatest headset I've ever purchased. Definitely have acrewed some brand loyalty to Steelseries. They even make swappable accessories for the headsets and their customer support is really nice. Good job Steelseries.

[@CharlotteKavina]

[@giovanni2910]

I felt like the V2 Pro's weren't credited enough for their amazing lightweight comfort and good mic quality. Also, review the Corsair HS80. I'm curious about those.

[@timmturner]

The HS80 correct all the problems the Virtuoso suffer from and carry over that wonderful microphone, but they suffer from functionality.

[@Whippets]

Agree about the V2's, since when did microphone quality not figure into a "complete" gaming headset?! I would go with the Steelseries, but the microphone is hot garbage.

[@SandyParsley682]

15:26 - I have the answer!!! Just finished the video and yeah, I'm currently listening to phone audio through AUX while the last few seconds of your video are playing on PC audio with my Arctis Pro Wireless headphones. Just have Line In hooked up, with your Arctis Pro Wireless audio selected as output on your PC, and then select the AUX source option on the base station. That's all there is to it. No need to get a new headset! Just make sure you're on the latest firmware and you should be fine! I have only had mine for two weeks and updated the firmware right when I got them, so I don't know how old this is, but it 100% is not an issue anymore if this was a problem 2 years ago. I use this dual connection feature all the time. Hopefully you see this! You don't need to switch! xD

[@CarthusDojo]

Not using the Corsair Virtuoso in this comparison is a shame imo. The mic on that wireless headset is insane and makes it great for any streamer that wants the ability to get up and still have pretty good audio quality (by switching to the onboard mic of course). They are also way more stylish than the other corsair headset used here.

[@182wergmatech]

I think the virtuoso deserves it's own video, honestly

[@torrentarrow9097]

I was just about to comment about this headset I own it and it's pretty good

[@torrentarrow9097]

@JB I agree with that the comfort on them is awful with the out of box ear pads. I bought 3rd part ear pads for like 20 bucks which helped a lot. Edit: also for sound you need to go to the equalizer and click the preset bass boost one or whatever it is called in the corsair software it makes it sound a lot better

[@bigpod]

if you wanna have good mic sound why not just use a wireless lav microphone

[@Marshallreall]

BRO i literally just came from your most recent video!

[@mankestofthedemed4796]

Biggest issue for me atm is wireless audios delay. They have yet to address this really at all with any wireless headphones. Wireless mice and keyboards now exist with worse latency than wired ofc, but it is so close that it really will not make a difference unless u are playing on 360 hz etc 4k all the details uk and even then it is up to the skill of the player. Wireless audio is getting way better with the quality of transfer, and not the latency of transfer sadly. Ik this video is mostly playing to people who are probably avg at games and are not focused on hype exclusive things like this, but it sucks that using in ear monitors or overear audiophile headphones are basically what you do.

[@massbud1]

I love my RIG 800 LX’s. I bought them just over 3 years ago for my Xbox One X. When I switched to PC I was able to transition that head to my PC. I didn’t lose a single feature or sound quality. Full on 3D surround sound and great balancing. It works great with the Dolby Atmos app. They’re very sturdy and comfortable to wear, but they do get a little warm from the ear cuffs. I was wondering what you guys (on the channel) think? Anyone else try or have this headset?? I bought them for about $160 out the door.

[@Monkeypuzzle]

The Steel Series rocks for all the reasons you mentioned, BUT the one big problem is that the connection of the ear piece to the headband is a real weak spot and will break if you're not super gentle with it. That one failing makes the price point way too high. It's already a big ask for a one-time purchase, but way too much for a headset you'll need to keep replacing every year or so because of that engineering flaw.

[@MadStrike]

I’ve tested almost all of these myself and you guys are pretty spot on! I just wish my Arctis Pro wireless headset had a more adjustable size. I max out the strap on mine and it gets uncomfortable at times because the only padding and adjustability that you have is that strap.

[@CybertroninfiniteOfficial]

AKG is the king of adjustable headbands

[@imgilligan2612]

You are the reason I got the SteeleSeries Arctis Pro Wireless headphones and I absolutely LOVE them. The only “beef” I have with them is that there is consistent white noise when they are on and I can’t figure out how in the world to get rid of it. Otherwise, 9.5/10 from me. They are amazing!

[@DanielLangeYT]

What source are you using? If you're using the line-in port, you want to get hold of a "Ground loop isolator" and have that connected directly into the line-in port, and then a 3.5mm jack from there.

[@SlaughterSlade18]

I recently got the corsair virtuoso SE and they are def my fav wireless headset so far

[@Pr0toc01]

As a user of the Steel Series Arctic Pro Wireless, they are honestly the best headset I have ever used. I was initially put off by the price tag. But after using them for a year I have to say I wish I had bought them soon. With working from home and being an avid gamer I wear these for 10 - 12 hours a day. I recomend buying some extra ear cups so you can rotate them out. Depending on how hot it is i usually change them weekly. Toss them in a container with some hot water and some laundry soap, shake them up, squeeze them out, let them sit in the sun to dry, good to go. The steel Series has so much thought put into what it does and how it does it I dont think ill ever be going to another headset that isnt a steel series for a long long time

[@ssdq]

love my astro a50 v4, my heads just too big for the steelseries sadly. hope for an upgrade regarding this, but so far, the astros are the only ones fitting my bowling ball sized head comfortably with good sound - wireless.

[@Casketman20]

I have the Arctis Pro wireless and the main reason I bought it was because of the changeable battery! That being said,I found sound to be lacking with them even after tweaking the EQ. Main issue is the base,just weak IMO. Another issue is that the headset is a "once size fits most" type and well,I am not part of the most. Even with the band all the way out,my ears are covered but just barely making it uncomfortable on the top of my head. I've gone back to my Hyper X wired headset and the fit is night and day.

[@sceneXchic1]

I've been thinking about making the switch to wireless, and I figured having an extra battery would come standard. Thank you, once again, for making my life easier

Do me a favor and go look at my EQ/Dolby settings for the Astro A50's. Might change your mind, as I consider myself an audiophile and I too thought they sounded terrible with stock settings. This isn't promo fyi, hoping the creator tries it. Off topic, but I just bought the new Corsair Virtuoso XT's today and I am already returning it tomorrow, wanted to love it, but no EQ would fix them. Thanks great video guys!

The older Logitech models like the G933 did have a AUX in on the transmitter, and had general better quality than the newer ones (ex. G935). I am now using Steelseries Pro Wireless, USB powered from a USB hub, and with AUX in.

The SteelSeries Arctis Pro is by far the best headset I've ever used. I used to work for Creative Labs writing sound drivers and have some experience with computer and studio audio in addition to being a gamer for longer than most gamers have been alive. I've used literally hundreds of different headphones over the last 20 years and these are the best. I connect 2 computers, 1 via USB and 1 via Optical with passthru to a pair of Klipsch R-15PMs and bluetooth to my phone. The base station/DAC with battery charger is amazing. The only additional feature I would ask for is an integrated mixer built-in so I can combine all or multiple sources ie. USB, Line-In and Optical out to my external speakers.

2:48 I find it so funny how he’s acting like he’s playing when you can clearly see that hes watching a KZbin video 😂

[@-dmm]

I love the steel series one I had the wireless ones and loved the dac since I can eq it on a small device and high gain it too while simultaneously using the line in plugged from my monitor to basically hear all my console games thru my headset and my pc all at once. My only concern after two years was the main negative that most people have gone thru and that is the build quality. Where it connects on the ears more specifically on the right side, it always cracks or wears or is extremely fragile and cracks. I understand after 2 years things might go bad but I was not expecting the frame of the headset to go out in 2 years. Maybe the speakers or mic or something. I really missed that headset but I ended up upgrading to a GoXLR mini and 770 pros 80 ohms and a antlion mic and has worked flawlessly and sounds really good. I did try the new steel series nova pros wired and loved the quality and the leather cups but I just worried it will break on my again and the price for that product was almost 300$ and did not equal to what I got. That's where I got a semi permanent headphones with the 770 pro 80 ohm and a mod mic that I can eventually replace with an XLR mic down the road with my GoXLR mini that can power a decent mic. Just made sense to me. I had to get out of that "gaming Headset" space cause you just get stuck with half built products almost intentionally for you to keep buying there new one down the road.

Currently I have it set up: PS5 USB > SS Box + PC > Mackie ProFX Mixer (optional) > SS Box Line in Set to "Aux" on SS Box. You can use the same setup without a mixer also, so : PC Line out > SS Box Line in. I just use the mixer for when I want to hot swap to my speakers/soundbar or use chat on pc.

On a health and safety note, any concerns with long term wear of wireless devices on your head? I know there are some long hours spent using whatever headphones may be your choice. The best distance from base station is probably related to the 2.4ghz range of the arctis pro. Do you think that bluetooth and wireless increases any risk for those of us wearing headsets for 8-12 hours a day? Love the content here!

I have the black version of the Arctis Wireless Pro and I recently tried to replace them with the GPro's. I gotta say, I agree 100% with this video. I've had my WP's since they were released and they are hands down the best gaming headset I have ever owned. The only reason I tried to replace them with the GPro's is because my WP's broke for the 3rd time and are now out of warranty. I returned the GPro's and I'd rather use a broken set of WP's. The only thing wrong with this is that the right earcup is a bit loose because a plastic part broke inside. I'm working on a 3d printed replacement part for it.

How could you have not mentioned latency ONCE?. Sure the sound quality is good ... but latency is the only thing that matters in gaming ffs

[@lemonsquizy]

been using wireless for 3 years I've never once had latency issues. its not bluetooth. latency isnt really a thing anymore with 2.5ghz headsets

[@eyetour]

My Astro A50’s came with a year of Dolby Atmos. It changed the sound night and day, but you have to run it optically I believe. They sound phenomenal.

[@jacobfield4848]

I have had the Hyper x Cloud flight for a few years and the sound is great and the comfort is superb. They are very light and have no software to adjust sounds, but they are work fine for me.

[@UKDarkJedi]

I have the same SteelSeries as Harris, and the ONE thing I positively hate about it, is the massive clamping force at the jaw, it makes it so fatiguing for me I can't use it for more than 30 minutes or so. I've tried all sorts of methods to fix it, but it just seems to squeeze in to the point of me not being able to talk. And I'm still waiting for a day with open back wireless and I'll be done. Sound Stage is something wireless closed headphones are sorely lacking

[@Domes03]

Personally a fan of using HiFi (Sennheiser 600) headphones and a standalone mic (Shure SM7B) through the GoXLR. More expensive than a standalone headset but you don't compromise sound of either device, and features are as rich as the interfaces you plug them into.

[@Rabaroni_]

honestly the hyperx cloud flight wireless s is some of the best headphones ive ever used. definitely not as much functionality as the steel series ones but i like the fact that they have two seperate audio tracks built into the headset one for voice chat and another for all other audio. it also has a 30 hour battery so theres not really a need for chargingg as much but having the option to be able to edit my videos and seperate my voice voice chat and audio sources without having to buy super expensive equipment is a game changer.

[@JGottiKS79YouTube]

Absolutely love my A50's. I have also used the Arctis Pro Wireless. I couldn't get the physical volume from the ARC PRO that I get from my A50s. Deal breaker for me is I have a 7 7/8 fitted hat size. Arctis Pro Wireless do NOT accommodate a larger head. They literally will give you a headache even adjusted all the way out. Loved my A40's and the A50's are a great wireless option for a larger headed gamer.

[@BeastChan23]

As someone who had to replace a pair of arctis pro wireless due to a crack at the hinge of the ear cup, I ended up going with normal headphones, started with a pair of SHP9500 with a Bluetooth low latency adapter and was golden. Few months back got a pair of hifiman headphones, also with a BT adapter. Aptx low latency isn't as fast as 2.4ghz, but it's extremely close and cheaper than buying another pair of arctis pro wireless while having better quality audio

[@assorted_weapon3560]

I’m so glad you made this video! I’ve been dreaming about the Arctic Pros for years

[@TheBandit59]

Which Artis do you recommend, is that the Pro? I need to replace my ancient A-50’s, and want something best for COD on PS-4, it seems like alot of reviewers put alot of headsets over the A-50’s?great video

[@ChillMickelson]

FYI - I used the HyperX Cloud flights but after getting the Wave 3 mic, I noticed a bit of audio delay which was fixed after using a different wired headset that I plugged directly into the wave 3 mic which fixed the delay.

[@Fawkes1978]

This is totally unrelated, but I was wondering if the SteelSeries or the Astro could be used as wireless headphones for guitar or any other kind of music practice. If I were to connect the headphones output of something like a focusrite scarlet to the auxiliary input of the base station, will there be too much latency? If these work for gaming with analog audio they probably should work for music practice.

[@Badlex727]

I started using the Steel Series headset back in 2019 by recommendation from you Harris, and I have absolutely no regrets. Incredibly cool and functional

[@HumancityJunction]

How is the latency of the headsets? Anytime I have tried to use wireless headphones, the latency is off enough that I notice it and it bothers me. How is the latency on these headphones?

[@chill28]

Just got the Steel Series Pro Wireless and they are awesome.. but there is latency on the mic monitoring on the goxlr mini. Any solutions out there?

[@Disposalist]

I tried the Arctis Pros. Wired them up just as you do, Harris, and found there was a slight but unbearable delay in hearing myself in them. Do you not get that delay? Or do you not monitor your own mic when streaming?

[@corey8084]

I'm with you... I was hoping to see something be able to replace the Steelseries and in this nothing came close. Give the Logitech a base station and the hot swappable batteries and we'd have a serious contender, I think. I've moved my mouse and keyboard to Logitech G from Rokkat and couldn't be happier, was totally open to go full Logitech fanboy but not yet. SteelSeries... I love you, and I don't want to replace you, just want more options. :)

[@Steanford]

Thank you for your music. That's such a blessing to the community. You're legendary for that

[@KevinFauver]

I recently bought the Arctis Pro Wireless (and LOVE it!) but the one and only headset that I ended up comparing to was the EPOS | Sennheiser GSP 670. From knowing absolutely nothing about either, I ended up going with the Arctis Pro Wireless because there were amply more reviews on that premium headset than there were on the EPOS | Sennheiser GSP 670. If you do end up doing another headset review, I would love to hear what you have to say with these. Thanks Harris! Keep up the amazing work buddy.

[@chanchan05]

The 670 should sound better. The Sennheiser Game Ones were using the HD 558 drivers, and from most accounts the 670 sounds even better than the GameOnes. The Arctis should sound good enough, but not Sennheiser good IMO. Basically, Sennheiser headphone are literally take one of their mid-tier audiophile headsets, give it a new shell with a boom mic and volume knobs, and voila gaming headset. Although their software is a bit wanting. Also watch out for cracking. The Steelseries have durability issues.

[@matthewbias6384]

8-9 years ago I got a Tritton Warhead for christmas and remember it having an interchangeable battery along with all the different inputs and outputs. Thing was ahead of its time.

[@apricotmadness4850]

This video came out at a crazy time; my black sharp V2 pro comes in tomorrow! I was looking for more wireless headset roundups.

[@anibalhuneeus]

The blackshark v2 pro's are great in my opinion, don't worry, you'll enjoy them a lot

[@apricotmadness4850]

@@anibalhuneeus I do! They sound pretty solid and are really comfortable due to being lightweight and having extra padding in the earcups!

[@austin7635]

Using the Steel Series Arctis Pro Wireless for over a year now. I have them tuned using their software and Voice Meter banana. One of the best upgrades I ever made. They are really expensive but 100% worth it. I also have my KRK studio monitors wired to the Included DAC that comes with them so switching between the headphones and speakers is seamless.

[@GhostlySpartan]

I bought the Arctis Pros because Harris used them and I liked the features. After having them for a few weeks now I could never go back. The hot-swap battery I feel makes them worth the $330 then add the other features and it a no-brainer.

[@misfithawk7657]

Are any of these good for streaming mic use? Or are USB mics hands down, still unbeatable?

[@Sonchuo]

Wireless headphones have gotten great but ever since I used the Sennheiser HD 58X paired with the Dolby Access software I can't go back. The level of precision details to your environment and sound quality is unbeatable.

[@tysononeill]

I've had the steelseries before and they are such a nice headset but somebody with bad ears, I never seem to get them loud enough to my liking when it came to playing games with noise ques you had to listen for. If they made an updated version with 50mm drivers, I'd be all over them. Also Harris, do you use mic monitoring with them and is there a delay?

[@AureliaVel]

"Those of you watching who use wireless headsets know exactly what I'm talking about." UGH! YEEEEEEEEEES!!!!!!!!!! Do I ever. I've been using Turtle Beach Stealth 450 for about 5 years now and it's been killing me that they are starting to get old. So this video is in PERFECT timing. Thanks for going over these and giving me better options to choose from. You're the best!

[@ELDR3X]

I got the old alienware headphones AW988 and theyre super good. can be used wireless while using the aux, so you can hear 2 sources at the same time. with software the sound quality si awesome. Super thick base and extra clear mids. Only hit si theyre a little heavy and mic makes sound when activating. 9/10.

[@Volker_A4]

My Arctis Pro Wireless is great. However I do have to say that my original one became bricked during an update. Steel Series Replaced it, but it was pretty annoying and they made me destroy my first one which seemed excessive for a software issue. The headset could have easily lived another life as a nice wired option for someone, and now it's just E-waste. It was also a little uncomfortable snapping my headset into pieces and cutting the wires too.

[@JewelieJewelzRN]

For the Steel Series one, is that the one with the Gamedac? For the Astro it has the mixamp so I can hear stream notifications as well as game sound. I like the look of the steel Series and I am thinking about switching to them.

[@Nathan_Lundstrom]

The Steelseries wireless has a base station with similar functionality to the GameDAC/Astro Mix Amp, but the wireless base station doesn't do hi-res audio (96k sample rate) like the Steelseries GameDAC does when connected to PC. Honestly, that's not even close to a dealbreaker for me - I'd say go for the wireless! The base station has mixable inputs and can be controlled ON the base station or better yet, by the headphones themselves like they mentioned in the video.

[@JewelieJewelzRN]

@@Nathan_Lundstrom ok cool! Thanks for the info!

[@TargetSniper365]

Artics pro wireless is hands down the best out there for gaming. I love mine and the functions like the dual battery and the control box settings is honestly incredible plus they feel super comfortable for hours

[@taruxy]

I totally agree with the steelseries, have the exact one and the battery (if you ignore the amazing soundquality!) is the killer for ALL other headphones! No doubt i'd buy another steelseries ones if mine breaks

[@Wyngless]

No one touches on this: when you adjust the volume on the headset, does it change the windows volume? That was the largest reason I stick with headsets with base stations as it could quickly ruin your stream. I currently use a Arctis Pro Wireless, and while /very/ pricey in Canada, I expect the Pro's to last as long as my old SteelSeries H (6 years before the plastic hinges broke).

[@Tazytots]

JBL is one of the most common music earbud brands you'll find in retail stores (They also make bluetooth speakers), so it makes sense that JBL's drivers would be more tuned toward music audio rather than games.

[@Wes220]

in terms of latency, how would wireless headphones perform?

[@izure]

Appreciate your channel's focus on audio in/out and lights setups for streaming and gaming. Hope you can do more videos on (wireless) headphones in the future, as they are an integral part of anyone's such setup. Some feature requests, if you're up for it: 1. Display the name of what you're reviewing, on the video, when you change between the units. (Had to go to back to 2:20 or check the "description tags" section under description to find "Arctis Pro" instead of just "Steelseries"). 2. Chapters would be great. Should also have names of the units, but as a complement to, not a replacement of step 1. As for headphone contemplations, I'll still stick to my old Sony MDR-1000X for now, although I wish they had RF as an alternative to BT, for a faster, more reliable protocol.

[@sydneyderose7165]

I don't use the mic on my headset I have a Blue Yeti. So I have been looking for a wireless headset. Does it matter if its a gaming headset or do I get a good studio headset? Id like to see a comparison on wireless studio headsets.
