What one would you pick?
Definitely the stingers for the price! Techne- the stinger wireless improved the microphone, decreased some of the weight and balanced the sound even more than the wired pair. Check those out! They are one of my go to wireless headsets lately. It’s an amazing upgrade from the wired stingers
If I was on a budget then the Arctis 1 would be my pick. Really like the Steelseries sound signature. You gonna try the HyperX Cloud Alpha S sometime? Grabbed a pair yesterday and really like so far. HyperX has did it again. Curious for your opinion
Arctis 5?
Yes! That's what I'm looking for. For the last month. Let's check)
I think I might pick the H510
Nice touch with recording with the mics. Very much appreciated.
thank you
Idk if I should get the cloud stinger or core
@@ajdclassics672 I have the core and its really bad.
JD Murphy I suggest the razor kraken but if you have an extra 30$ get the 2019 version it’s a lot better
Yeah he's old but he knows the shit
Who else’s headset broke and they are trying to find a new one?
🖐🏾
Yup
Yep
Me.lmaoooo
My stinger mic broke so I’m here
“They all have a 3.5 mm jack so usable on every device!” Me: **cries in newer phone without headphone jack**
Why are you using a headset on phone??
So your the only person that can hear the video.
Beast true unless you in a plane
Retendo using headphones on planes is normal
@Retendo why tho?
I was literally like "Hey I need a new headset but I only have $50" and then I found this video Techne Must know all and see all, a true god.
lol, so glad I was able to help out! what one did you go with?
@@TheTechne Sorry For the late reply but i think i like the Krakens
@@0zonesection did you get them, are they any good ?
Andrew yes other Andrew 😂
Andrew, meet Andrew.
Recording each review with the headset's mic was a genius idea. You instantly feel the difference going from one headset to the next. Great video!
You give me anxiety when you start bending those headsets man

"Im gonna try my best to call them the arctis, any ways lets get into revewing the acrtics."
Its reviewing
@@quin_dm ok?
@@quin_dm lol that's the only mistake you pointed out?
Yeah I was gonna comment that lmao
I had trouble saying acrtics its honestly harder to not say arctis
11:00 “I’m gonna try to not call it arctix and call it arctis so here we got the arctix”
I was gonna say that lmaooo

Thx
Thanks really helped
God will let you into heaven thank you
Me: About to sleep KZhead: Hey look Techne upload a new video Also me: 👀
Not enough reviews like yours. Thanks for making this. I would love to see this updated. Being able to listen to the mic quality during the review of each headset is a HUGE factor that many reviewers skip. I would love to see a new $50 review like this one for 2020. And I would love to see an ultra budget version of this review format for the $40 and under range to see what might work for ultra budget steamer startups as I see a ton of headsets in the $20-35 range. Again, thanks for this great mic comparison review. Others cover mostly the $100+ range.
thank you so much. I will be doing another one later on in the year around the holidays, and many more to come. thank you again :)
I love that you wear the headset and then show you wearing it in different angles! Also, purchasing the cloud stingers! Nice video! :)
Thanks for your video. I ended up getting the HyperX Cloud Stinger Gaming, because of the swivel for comfort, and as recommended by some friends. The volume slider isn't much of an issue for me, since it does the job. I'm enjoying this both for my gaming, and for work.
found you because of your 60% keyboard reviews and just found you again for this, love your reviews and you deserve a lot more subs and love, so ggs for you
thank you so much for the support and watching the vids!!
Same
I and deciding on Astro a 10, the stinger, and the stinger core
my man this video is EXACTLY what i was lookin to help me spend my stimulus money on!
i’ve watched every mic review and i’m glad he gives his honest opinion and i trust them also thanks
I really appreciate this video. I do not know anything about headsets, so this video was very helpful.
I've been watching your headset review videos for 2 days straight. Love your videos!! Very enthusiastic and honest about every detail. Keep it up!! 🤟✨
thank you so much for the kind words and support!
THANK YOU! You are the only one that takes the time to mention that the 3.5 cable is detachable and you show in close up!
Thank you for adding Amazon links for CA! That's such a time saver.
Very underrated channel. Keep up with the great work, man!
By Far the best reviewer on KZhead. Been looking for a new headset for a week and these reviews always help the most.
thank you so much!
Boxing sale is right around the corner in my country and I'm watching as many reviews as I can, to narrow down my list right before sales hit. So thank you for this !!!. Very helpful may I add.
Love the honesty of your reviews - Extremely refreshing !
thank you so much! never chasing the $ here, I promise honesty always 1st!
Thank you! & It shows... Your passion & enthusiasm are a joy to watch. I’m now convinced with my decision to purchase the SteelSeries because they suit my preferences! Keep up the positivity.
Absolutely great I really needed this. What a champ
This was the best review I’ve seen for my price range! I went with the Stingers mostly due to the mic quality and comfort. Big thanks man! 👌👌
thank you for watching, and glad to hear I was able to help out!
Love ur reviews! Btw for pc should i pick the red dragon or the cloud stinger? Hope you reply.
This is the best picking + reviewing video I've seen. Thank you sooo much!
Thanks you so much! I really needed this review, I think I will go with the redragons just bc I'm gonna use them in pc
Just bought the Razer Kraken X based on this review. Needed one with a decent mic for virtual college classes that are starting soon. Many thanks for your help.
Just started making KZhead video a few months ago, and I’ve been using my lil bro’s headset.... to make a long story short, nice touch using the actual mics from the headsets. EXACTLY what I was looking for 👍🔥
thanks for the info. I've never used a gaming headset, so this helps a ton!
Love this guy, so smiley and great video!
Quality content! No BS, just well rounded reviews - you got a subscriber out of me!
thank you so very much!!!!
Great video man! Loved the content, great content. and recording with the mikes was a great touck
😱😱😱 IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO!!!
*New sub, amazing vid man, helps a lot, keep up the good work!*
thank you so much!!
Amazing video! Wish more were like this with actual testing and results we can see with your mic tests. Helped me a lot!
I would love to say thx you for talking into each headset about that headset. Gives me a way better feel for the headsets.
I’m getting my first Xbox and obviously my first headset. This video was soooo helpful and easy to understand (and I know pretty much nothing about gaming consoles/headsets) so thank you so much!!! I’m probably gonna get the Stingers!
Would you rather get the hyper x cloud stingers or the arctis 3's? I saw your video on the artics 1 vs the 3's and you basically said theyre the same except the 3 has a bit more comfort. Im trying to find a really good cheap headset but if I have to i can spend the 70 for the 3's. What would you recommend?
Bro i lowkey love this mans accent nice vid btw
Ive been watching your reviews lately because i love your enthusiasm and of coursenyour vids are good. I have an old pair of Logitech g430 headset and their pretty good, they make footsteps sound super close which isnt good as keep thinking enemies are close by. I want to upgrade but its a minefield out there and im not sure if its worthwhile if sound quality is the same. What would you recommend for about £60 price range.
Love your reviews Thank you for helping me choose =)
BRO! ive been watching your reviews, i gotta say they're spot on, you could sell me on everything because you touch all the points i look at when im buying new gear, like the other day i got myself a steelseries arctis 7s! Gotta say i love these headsets!!! thank you so much!!!
thank you so much! I also love love love the 7's
Really love your review New sub coming up!
thank you so much!!
@@TheTechne what headset would you recommend for call of duty to hear the footsteps a lot better please help either £50 or under please help?
Wooow! I was really surprised that after a year of looking onto your reviews, exchanging comments with you on some of your posts, you now got that 161k subs?! bruh, you deserved it! your reviews are always amazing and complete. btw, i am here on the under $50 budget headset because my arctis 3 has some issue and needs to be replaced. now my next target, stinger x! thanks again for the very helpful vid! keep it up!!
Not gonna lie this is probably the most in depth NON scripted youtube video ive seen in a while. Great quality video and i will be ordering a headset based on your recommendations will let you know how that goes. Got my red dragon 510s today love them 10/10 5 stars and people sub to this man great quality items are recommended
Thank you for not lying.
@@marekryszard techne is a great channel for tech reviews
Thank you so much! This was super helpful. I watched a few other budget/affordable gaming headset review videos but yours was the best by far. You were born for this! I ended up going with the Redragon because I thought the mic quality sounded superb, the overall design of it is slick, and love that it has the USB dongle. Since my main purpose for these is PC gaming, it's perfect. Also has a detachable mic which I've never had before and like that option if I'm just using it for audio. Thanks again!
Hey so do you still think these are good to get ??
@@Check2311w yes for sure. The sound is comparable to higher-end headsets. For the price tag I think they can't be beat! They look very sleek and my only problem is they do fit a bit tight on the head but that may just be me as I'm quite sensitive with anything I have over my ears.
@@coloud_tea do u think I should buy then and do u still use em people say it's wire break and in wht colour do u have the Zeus2?
the g332 was my road dog for a few years until I stopped getting sound out of one of the ears, biggest issue I had with it was the cord kept tangling up which eventually destroyed it over time... I tried unwinding it regularly but it always was tangled. Great Sound in the thing and good mic I loved it for CSGO.
Wow man you are by far the best tech KZheadr out there. The way you format these videos are so great. Keep up the awesome work!
thank you so much!
The best microphone is definitely Razer Kraken X, which is what I need since I plan on teaching ESL. Thanks for the video! Good idea recording each review in their own microphone!
Jesus Man, you just saved my life lmao. I needed a headset very much
Thank you so much for the review dude, now im really want the kraken x and the zeus since im a pc user and luckily both of these headset are on 30% off discount in my place 😉
I got the kraken x and broke it the first 2 months it's fully plastic so be careful
@@IHateMeTo thanks for the heads up dude, but i ended up buying the zeus not long after my comment and never had a problem with it, i hope it stays that way 😁
That's the vid I was looking for thanks techne:)
Man, you should have way more subscribers and views for your videos. Because of one of your videos I already bought and now using the Arctis 3 and loving it !
thank you so much! hopefully I can earn more with time and hard work.
Great video, really enjoy your positive energy and honest opinions. One suggestion for the future, be sure to mention the connections (3.5mm / USB) and cable length. No one seems to talk about these features, but they are very important - especially if your console or PC is hidden or far away from where you work/play.
I thought I did mention connection style. But you are right I need to start mentioning the length. good call!
@@TheTechne glad to know KZheadrs are taking recommendations, and yes I know I am 2 years late lol
I gotta give you my props this video narrowed it down perfect you deserve millions of subscribers I'll spread the word
thank you so so much! :)
Fun to watch video! Thank you for producing this.
thanks bro, life saver, couldn't find any headsets by a respectable brand anywhere at a good price
I asked for this video and you said coming soon and i thought you were lying and it actually came. I love that your so invested in your fanbase
sorry it took so long, lol. have been a little backed up.
@@TheTechne Some Dulcolax will cure that, but keep the good content coming!
@@jimedwards6267 lol
As an owner of number one, I can say it is amazing. My only complaint is the audio jack will just stop working if you move it to roughly. Other than that, highly recommended
yeah been using it for 2 years and it is still holding up and it is very comfortable
Thank you dude. I wanted to buy the Redragon Zeus and now I can confirm it's good. Thanks again
Awesome review that covered everything I needed to know!
Just ordered the HyperX headset, thanks for the awesome high quality reviews, really appreciate it dude!
thank you for watching!
I got mine and it sucked the mic didnt work and my pc didnt detect it overall i didnt like it but hope urs was good
iAdam368 oh uh I’m thinking that I might get it so would you say the audio is good?
@@nano5361 I think that it's very good especially for the price, but then again, I'm comparing them to some really cheap earphones
shaw oh man thanks for the warning!
Subbed! Because of your bright personality. You know what i mean? Hahaha. I think i'm getting the kraken x. Thanks a lot good sir!
thank you :)
Really helpful video. Great job @The Techne
Been anticipating this vid for a while
just got a new sub , great content :)
thank you!
*u n d e r r a t e d y o u t u b e r h e r e* srsly he needs subs he amazing
A review on the new Corsair hs50 PRO Please, they improved the comfort and custom tuned the drivers. So does that really make it(hs50 pro) a great headset?
thanks for including the uk links mate
Thank you so much for this video!! I've been looking for a budget headset for recording voice-over while playing PC games, and the Redragon Zeus sounds AMAZING for the price. Ordered!! Can't wait to use it.
Hello , how's it after 1 year?
@@AtomicPy1e It works great. I don't do much recording anymore but it was a solid purchase I would make again.
@@phoenixgoose Thanks for your reply , much appreciated!
HyperX is my main but I'm exploring my options and you good sir or the guy I come to.. Primo content.
thank you so much!!
Thank you, you made me be sure of what headsets i wanted ❤️😁
More likes deserved to be honest, this guy might be the best headset reviewer out there..... love this dude!
Think I'm gonna try out the cloud stinger headset thanks!
thank you for watching!

@@raydodgers Good noticing of details
Watched the video on my arctis 1, absolutely love it, love your videos man!!!
thank you so much!
Would you say the arctic 1’s are better than the cloud stingers?
thks a lot man. planned to get steelseries arctis 3 but settled with razor. cheers to you mate
I bought the redragon zeus after I saw your review. Awesome man. The Mic quality is so damn good!
JRTRIDE does it last long

Thanks for the video techne, I think I'm gonna pick up the stingers. I also got a pretty nice mouse. I just need a keyboard now around 50$ preferably 60%. What would you recommend? ( Gk61, asceny one etc)
funny topic about your two keyboard picks coming next week ;) hit that bell!
Maaaan you give out positive vibes !!!!! Love it!!!
Damn I’ve been using broke apple earbuds for a year now I need to get a headset soon
Jaid6n same here 😂
Just got the Turtle Beach Recon 200’s they go for $60 but it feels like a $100 headset.
Mitchell Permenter imo the Stealth 450’s are worth it. Think they are the same price but wireless and I’ve not heard anything particularly bad.
same bruh tv speakers and earbuds got me through it all
@@mitchellcole832 how are they after all this time
The Stinger is on sale for $30 right now on Amazon for anyone interested, though it ends in like 5 hours so...
6 months not too late correct?
@@unsharded8503 what about a year ?
I just got the Redragon to replace my 8 year old Sennheiser 360s and they are amazing. Not super surprised from the brand since I have one of their cheap mice and it performs just as well as any Razer or Logitech one I have had. Thanks for the recommendation, never even thought of buying one of their headsets.
Hey man loved your videos 🔥✊🏻 I'm kinda confused cuz I'm about to buy a gaming headset for my PS4 and I'm also planning to start a KZhead channel. What would u recommend u see 50 bucks? Razer Kraken, Corsair HS50 or Cloud stinger?
stinger

Thank you so much I'm not trying to watch a full 18 min video
thanks bro
ive had the stingers for 2 and a half years now and even after a lot of damages, the audio and mic is still perfect but i still gotta get new ones though cause they look nasty now lol. The only problem is that because of all these comments talking about their stingers being damaged in a short amount of time, I can't decide between the Kraken x and rebuying the stingers.
I had the kraken X before my car actually ate it and the sound quality was on fleek plus it was very confortable but as soon as I’m on discord w it there was a terrible echo for the ppl talking w me ^^
do you get headset hair / head dent ?
pc wise which one would you recommend redragon h510 or stingers?? Thanks💓
usually i get bored of tech videos pretty quickly and click off but you are very charismatic
steel series knows how to make a good product
I agree
@@TheTechne me too
I got the hyperx cloud stinger and glad to see it’s his number 1 choice. It is really a great headset.. and even with over air my ears don’t get sweaty at all.. sound quality is superb and it’s feels like a solid headset
De Silv did it last long
Hey man thanks for the video. Have you tried the Mars Mh5? They look awesome but there's very few reviews out there.
thank you for watching! as for the MH5 I don't see them for sale in the US
@@TheTechne Ah pity. Thanks for the reply, my man.
Love this vid. Helped me a lot. No way I would have been able to choose a headers without this video! 😀
thank you so much! so glad to hear I was able to help out!
Hey, I gotta ask, do you he a gaming channel? Like a gameplay channel? That'd be hype.
@@mokmokfish2910 no, but I do add some gameplay in some vids, here is one >> kzhead.info/sun/ab6Flq2hnX-HhpE/bejne.html
HyperX Cloud Stingers are $35 on amazon right now! Really can’t beat it at that price. Great review, well deserved sub!
BambaPlays how are they !?
Brian Diaz They’re great, especially for the price. I like the volume slider and they sound good from both ends. Haven’t had a single issue with them, just keep in mind they aren’t surround and they’re a smart buy.
@@Lemontheft2 yeah I just ordered them and they are coming in two days it did take me awhile though to choose between the stinger and the arctis 1
@@JayUzo If I may ask, I am in that debate. Which one did you choose and why? Also, how is the headphone so far?
On Amazon there's a lot of reviews on the hyperX having issues and breaking down, or not working after 2 weeks. Is there actually problems with it?
Probs faulty ones
Nice idea recording each segment with the headsets mic!
