He needs to do a updated version of this
yeah absolutely
Yes!
I typically use my SHP9500's for music, movies, etc. but I got a set of Razer Nari Essential headphones, and they really fucking suck. I think I'm gonna send them back. They're brand new and after a full charge, they keep beeping at me about low battery. And they sound like muffled dog shit. And don't even get me started on the mic. Holy fuck, what a potato. Razer should be ashamed of themselves for ever trying to charge $100 for this turd of a headset. I got them for $35 and they STILL aren't worth that much. Edit: Yep, that's it. I'm sending them back and getting the Steel Series Arctic 1. They're 50% off right now.
Yes I need an updated video!
@@AlphaMachina Arctic 1s also suck for the most part
To my ears these 3rd Gen Air pods are more comfortable compared to the newer Pro version with the soft gel tips. kzhead.infoUgkxgl8SzyQoymMu-S3V55Dskg5QJ8xr1yCR That said, compared to the 3rd Gen, I notice these do not stay planted in the ear as well. One design issue I think, is you squeeze the stem and click it twice to advance your songs. On 3rd gen you tap the large speaker. The difference is by grabbing the stem each time, you tend to loosen the bud fit in your ear. Not always, but the bud falls out a few times while running. The old tap to change never had that problem for me. I would not have changed that tap function. That said, the newer Pro version sticks in the ear, almost airtight if you want that. I do not like that Airtight fit. So that's why I'd stay with this version as the best trade off of comfort, use, and overall feel.

Personally as someone who's used the arctis 7 wireless they becoming annoyingly heavy after a couple hours of play and going from them to a hyperx cloud revolver s was a huge difference. I got the Corsair Virtuoso headphones today and can confirm that game audio is wack so I'll have to do the adjustments they did, however when just listening to music they blew the could revolver out of the water. I tried Astro A40s and it's like literally putting a brick on your head they're so heavy causing migraines personally. I haven't tried any logitech headsets though that's next on the list.
@@arron2861 I've used the Arctis 5 which was comfortable for me but not being wireless it might be lighter. I would've buy them for the mic or the sound quality specifically but I like the flexibility and the ability to plug other things into the headset(including other headphones)
I've tried a couple of headsets and needed a new one from my old Logitech headset dying. I would have gone with the G935s but Logitech's software has been a bit of a joke and the RGB gamerboy thing doesn't really appeal to me. I go the Corsair Virtuoso's, out of the box the EQ settings are waaaay off. Once you tweak them with the EQ settings they sound a lot better. I have to agree, Corsair needs to set them up right from the start. with the Dolby Atmos spatial sound games sound really really good. Although I turn it off for music listening because it does funky things. I also get more range out than they did, but who knows on that one.
Bro i loove the corsair Virtuoso’s
The astro a40s aren't that heavy actually and they have amazing audio
I love how there's never a consensus on headset sound quality across hundreds of reviews.
It's because each one of us has different audio perception. It makes it difficult when researching what's "good", but honestly that's a good thing because it forces you to experiment and choose what works best for you personally. I enjoy it, even if it is a tad annoying lol
I'm biased, so take it was the smallest grain of salt. But the a50s have been the best sounding headset for me(and you can catch James agreeing since the script is written by Colin.)
Because they're all overpriced garbage compared to any decent pair of headphones from companies that specialise in audio. It's like comparing dog shit to cow shit, it's still shit so why bother comparing
@@vangledosh sure but are the audio oriented headphones wireless, have a long battery life if so, and have long sessions in mind? I feel like those headphones are made for people who would only use it for, at max, a few hours, and not be far or need to be far from the source.
@@Ryorian please explain how am i supposed to "experiment and choose what works best" for me? should i buy 10 different $100+ headsets and send 9 of them back?
When you come to look at replacing your Logitech G935’s.... Oh... ok I’ll just go back to gaming now.
it even gets better if you come to replace your G935, see the result of the testing and your headset just randomly mutets his mic again... full restart required
Any reason why you’re looking to replace them? I’m looking into getting them myself
Nate Andrews just looking to see if there is a better option out there. Sometimes so don’t hear footsteps in certain games. Could be the games could be the head phones. Want to try a “better” pair and see if it’s the head sets. I’ve also had these for the last 3 years.
I've tried a lot of gaming headsets over the years. Wireless ones, wired ones, you name it. I've come to the conclusion that, well, they all suck. Every last one of them. Doesn't matter if you spend $100, $200, or even $400, they've all got issues. Most of them don't sound amazing. Every headset I've ever used seem to have lackluster crunchy underwater mics, and if the mics are good, we lead into durability issues, that seem to plague almost all of the headsets on the market. Sometimes it's the headband. Sometimes it's the coupling to the headband. More than likely it's the microphone, which stops muting when it flips up, or stops functioning entirely, or gets a static buzz over time. I gave up. I bought Audio Technica ATH-M50xs, a Shure SM58, a mic desk arm boom on Amazon, and a Steinberg UR22 to plug the mic into. Expensive? Yes. $400 is a lot compared to some of the other options. But, I use them for music recording and such as well so it wasn't just for gaming. I think it was worth every penny. I'll never buy another goddamn gaming headset. The last 7 just turned me away. Brands, prices, didn't matter.
@@nathanaelandrews1793 These are cheap and cheaply made. I am on my second set and the power button is wearing out, the audio cuts out on each ear. Very irritating, I am going to a boom stand mic and wireless headphones. I have decided "gaming" headsets are all trash.
1st headphones: "For about $120, this is one of the more affordable headsets in our lineup today" Well crap
100 bucks today really ain't shit,even if you are in middle class
@@brandonyankees1 it is though as other headsets can be way cheaper.
@@brandonyankees1 yeah but for people who depend on their parents to buy it for them can't really say that.

Rick Nash Awful comment. You must not have bills, kids, etc.
I watch Linus so much that when I watched this my mom was like, where tf is the small ginger one
Lmfao
ayo DONT get the artics, steelseries headsets have horrible range
@@KoKoSINIU they actually have pretty good range
It would help a lot if you put in timestamps or "chapters" for different headsets. It's nice to watch the video once in its entirety, and then come back to it later, after finding the local prices etc for specific products. I saw one video highly suggest a headset that you guys didn't like at all, so it's nice to be able to compare by jumping to specific parts in the video :)
James: "If no one can see your RGB does it really exist?" On headsets shouldn't it be if you can hear your RGB.
No, because he was referring to what you can show off on your streams. Like the ugly racing chair that isnt so much comfortable as it is showy.
The human ear can't taste above 30 colours per second.
Nice english
since we're talking about Logitech, I wouldn't be surprised if you could hear interferences from the RGB controller. the G35 had an issue where you could hear a high pitched noise all the time. also the pastic strarted crumbling away after a year. customer service was pretty much non existent, too. I guess I might be slighly biased against them since then.
I'd be interested in seeing a breakdown of how to adjust EQ for the best results, since you guys put such stock in why it's important (and yes, I have done mine, before people ask). I know of a number of people who don't bother, so it would be interesting to see how you guys would recommend doing it, break down what it is for/what it achieves, and how you'd cover a rough guide.
I love the doc for my A50. That easy charging feature was a huge selling point for me. The headset however gets jacked up few weeks requiring me to remember the button combo to hold for a while to force a reboot of the headset. It also has a built in game vs voice audio channel that just overcomplicates things that I wish I could just completely disable. Tried a G935, it was unstable and required moving dongle around or restarts occasionally to get the mic to respond. (Having a kvm to flip between work and home computers may have been causing confusion with it that the a50 never had a problem with.) Removing the logitech software did greatly reduce these problems. But the signal range was noticeably worse than the a50 such that I was no longer able to go upstairs to my kitchen during work meetings. Just started using the Nova 7x and so far I can confirm that the signal range does seem to be for me a little better than the a50 which I was already happy with.
I’ve used A50’s for 3 years and I still get so creeped-out by how good the spacial audio is… that 3 years later, I still have to lift one of the ear-cups to make sure the sound is actually coming from the headset and not my speakers. Blows my mind every time.

Yeah, wireless headphones $125, not bad. Especially, with some of these lasting 8 hours+. I have the Logitech G533's $99 7.1 Surround Sound with 15 hour battery life. www.logitechg.com/en-us/products/gaming-audio/g533-wireless-gaming-headset.981-000632.html

I have the Arctis Pro Wireless and im loving it, missed it here
Me to :-)
Logitech wouldn't be the winner if the Pro was included
so happy with mine
Me to :)
Loved the sound and the features of the Pro, but watch out for the cheap connection point where the earphones meet the headband. They're just non-reinforced plastic with no metal or anything. Mine snapped right after 12 months, which was a huge disappointment given the price point.
When you're reviewing the Mics, maybe turn off the background music so that we can get a better idea of what the Mic is picking up.
Bro they were all garbage XD
Thanks for the EQ for Corsair Virtuoso! I decided to up the bass a bit though (64), to slightly above 32, or it'd sound a bit too flat and grainy. Now it's perfect.
The best gaming headset is a V-Moda Boompro Mic added to your best headphone with a removable cord...for me, the Phillips SHP9500.
I just got my vmoda boom pro and hooked me up with my cheap mono price closed back with 53mm drivers. With a quick eq, it’s a BANGIN setup for $60.
Not the best, but a good option if your headphones are compatible. About the same quality but without the compatibility problems there is the Antlion ModMic Omni. The ModMic Uni is also ok if you apply EQ (cut the bass, boost the highs and use a couple notches to reduce resonances). If you really want good sound quality with the noise reduction and comfort of a gaming headset you have to DIY. Like soldering the capsule of a DPA 4088 to a ModMic.
But this is a review of WIRELESS headsets. Putting a wired mic on it kind of defeats the purpose of paying extra for a wireless headset.
@@DavidHHH99 Well, there is the ModMic Wireless. Doesn't sound as good as I would like, but still better than all headsets in this video. Besides that, it's a question of priorities. I like wireless headphones, but even more I like sound quality. As far as I know, there are no high end wireless headsets. For me, currently using a sennheiser hd650 and looking for an upgrade, there is NO wireless headset that sounds at least as good and has a decent microphone on the market.
@@davidruppelt Try hooking it up to the new Fiio BTR5. The inbuilt noise cancelling mic of the BTR5, and the open back use of the wired HD650 could be exactly what you're looking for.

I'm weary of the 935s as I had *SO MANY ISSUES with my 933s.* having to press the re-set button multiple times, having to go delve through the internet to find solutions to random issues like the mic not un-muting no matter what i tried, the headset just refusing to connect sometimes, to the red flashing of death. their issues were a headache and left a sour taste in my mouth But now I'm also experiencing some issues with my Corsair Virtuoso Wireless headset, issues like mic not working after they re-connect from a dropped drop signal from me walking to my kitchen and back, to the audio just completely cutting out and having to unplug then re-plug-in the dongle to fix the issue, to the headset just randomly NOT playing audio from discord yet playing audio just fine from the game and/or chrome, which I have to notice "hey my friends on discord are oddly quiet- oh, I see their green circles lighting up around their Profile Pics and I see I'm still in the channel" which makes me have to leave the channel then re-join to fix this mysterious issue has anyone else experience these issues?
I've had my g933 for about 2 to 3 Years now. Had to ask for a replacement as the mic stopped working out of sudden, and now seems like the audio drivers are going to shit. I must be really unlucky cause I take good care of my stuff. Regardless, not going for logitech for headsets ever again. =/
@@johannmoia4698 i had to get a warranty replacement for the exact same issue!
@@AnthonyTrifoglio Well. It happens to 2 of my G933 and 1 of my G533. Thankfully Logitech does a amazing job on giving out replecment. Tho I give away all those replecments because I simply don't Wanna deal with those issues anymore. I am current using a Arctis Pro wireless which has no issue So far.

I recently made the switch from Xbox to PC and have Astro A50 gen 4 headphones. They sound great especially after downloading some custom EQs for music or gaming on them. I intend to buy a top of the line wired headset soon since nothing beats their quality and being wired on PC isn't much of an issue

@@ryanxero yep after a few hours they need a reset sometimes, sometimes they run a week no issues
I really wish you could make an updated version of this video, I've been trying to find a good headset with a noise cancellation microphone built in but its pretty difficult to find and most videos don't really test the noise cancellation of the microphone against noises in the room like a TV or something. I have the Corsair Void Pro and the mic is amazing but its getting old and I can't find a good replacement.
Black shark V2’s or Logi G773
I think there's noise cancellation software for mics but I guess hardware solutions will always perform better?
For casual use I think the Arctis 7 are very good. Sure, sound and mic are not perfect, but I didn't hear once (two friends and I use it), that it sounds bad. It has some QOL features I don´t want to miss in the future. For example the wireless dongle with line-in, line-out, the chat dial, where you can change the volume between chat and game or the near perfect fit of the headphones. I have a little bit bigger ears and I had a lot of pressure on them with the original earcups, but after I wrote to the support about this problem I got a voucher for free shipping and -10% for accessories. Both the additional earcups (leather and some fabric material) are thicker and are a lot better for larger ears. I can really recommend them

Did you guys really talk about Arctis 7 without even mentioning the two separate audio channels (game and chat)? That is really one of the best features because you can instantly adjust volume balance between the game and your VOIP application. This is extremely important if you have annoying friends who get loud for no reason while you are trying to enjoy the game.
I agree it's a nice feature and have used it. The Astro A50 has that as well. My issue with the Steelseries is the constant beeping, and susceptibility to the slightest interference. Ended up having to go to a Razer product instead. Came to this video to see what they said about the Astro A50.
Do none of the headsets except the Steelseries and the Astro have that? I'm pretty happy with my Arctis 5, but socializing over Discord through much of 2020 has made me want to upgrade to a wireless model. I've gotten so used to the chatmix feature by now that it's pretty much an unnegotiable requirement.
ive used a pair of arctis 7s for 2 years now and up until now its been quite good. lately, the wireless range has been decreasing and one of the hinges broke, resulting in one of the earcups freely rotating past where it should. looking into other headsets but im really not sure what to get. currently looking at the G533 and HS570
Had my Arctis 7's for a year now and I've just learned theres a line in and line out on the transmitter
To be fair it's not something everyone uses or needs. But for those who do have a use, it's awesome.

Why didn’t they include the Arctis Pro? I own the wired version without the GameDac and its by far the best headset i’ve ever owned. Call me a madman if you want, but i think that the wireless should’ve been on that list.

Oh wow! Arctis got a great review! Too bad there is no info on the audio imbalance issue with all their wireless headsets.
Wish y’all would’ve used the Arctis pro wireless as arctis’s competitor
True. I have the the Acrtis Pro Wireless and its brilliant. Love that I can use it to combine console game audio and discord from my PC and the swappable battery feature is so useful it's kinda weird I haven't seen more headsets that do it.
Best headset I've ever owned. I love it!
Andrea Vultaggio yeah i like it a lot too, the elite 800 from turtle beach was my last head set and I think the pros better except for the fact that it doesn’t really have noise cancelling
I'm looking at these for my next headset, what do you guys think about the 7.1 surround sound?
Steven C. I play console so I don’t really know if I even utilize it cause most console games seem to use 5.1 but all around I enjoy it
the hyperx cloud flight review was a bit unfair, all you mentioned was the default EQ settings and nothing more. for people considering these, they have a very easy mute button on the side. the entire left cup in a button for muting, you can plug them in through 3.5mm jack (and removable mic), the wireless range is pretty good and the spatial audio is good as well. i really think the review for these headphones was really bare bones and something was off about it. everywhere else people have praised the cloud flight but here you shit on them and then that's its, with all other headsets you gave good and bad points but the hyper X you gave a bad point and that's. i think its a bit ironic you saying the headset was rushed when you clearly rushed that part of the video.
one of the best headsets out there to hear directionality.. my pair broke after after being crushed by some scuba equipment .. but i loved them. now i have the Logitech pro x. and i just dont think there as good..
And to add to this, I have heard pretty much only bad stuff about the Logitech. I own an Artemis 933 and while it does sound good, the build quality is abyssmal, half the buttons including the power switch don't work anymore and the microphone is a piece of garbage. The 935 is only a very slight upgrade to the 933, so I will treat them like they are the same. I bought a Cloud Flight recently and it is just better than the Logitech Headsets. This review is not very professional. Edit: Something very important that I just remembered; he complains about the minimalistic HyperX software but does not even mention the absolute garbage that is GHub... Logitech has BY FAR the worst software on the market and I had to downgrade to the Logitech Gaming Software from GHub because the latter just turned half my Logitech products into unusable bricks, messed with settings or just randomly disconnected them. I would take HyperX software or no software at all over this Logitech Bullshit.
Yeah this was really confusing. I tried the Logitech headphones at a PAX and settled on the Cloud flight as the price is good, battery life is good and with the detachable mic and mute button is nice. It's a bit fishy they missed all of this. Yes the software is basic. I use it to show me the battery level. They do have a new version coming out soon with wireless charging.
I have the hyperx and regret getting them. Mic always cuts out since I got them. And the sound isn't great at all. Very comfortable though and the battery life is OK.

for some reason I really love your voice, thanks for the reviews! helped a lot
I bought the Arctis 7 a bit more than 2 years ago and at first was quite happy with it. It is very comfortable, soundquality is nice, the mic is great and the overall design is amazing. After about a year the charging-port broke off due to poor soldering. This meant, that i couldn't charge the headset anymore and because the mic only works when connected wirelessly, the product became useless. The CS at Steelseries took forever to reply and then asked me to provide pictures of the broken part, for which i had to open up the headset, which they in turn used as an arguement to deny replacement/refund. After quite a bit of hassle, they eventually agreed to replace it. One year later, the same problem occured and this time the product was just outside the warrenty period. Instead of taking responsibility for selling a fundamentally flawed product, they simply shut me off with false simpathy and didn't even give me the chance to respond by marking the case as "solved". Having technical issues can happen, but you have to take responsibility and should never use formalities as an excuse to deny decent CS. Never again Steelseries!!
The Astro A50s are definitely expensive, but they are amazing. SO comfortable, DON'T creak, are made of premium feeling strong materials, and have great 7.1 surround sound. The only problem I've had with Astros is that they're not loud enough at max volume. But to be fair they are definitely loud enough for games, just for movies they are sometimes not as loud as desired. Also with the previous generation of the A50s there were wireless connectivity issues that would cause the audio to cut out for a second or two. I've experienced this myself because my wireless router is in my room and it used to cause interference before I changed the wifi channel in the settings. However I hear that's fixed with the new ones and I plan to get them soon, and finally put my 4 year old gen 3 A50s to rest lmao. Btw after 4 years I still get full day battery life (15 hour battery life advertised on the box), which just impresses the fuck out of me. I love my Astros. 300 bucks well spent 4 years later.
Would've love to see you guys do the Steel series Arctis pro's
And also the rog lineup i.e theta, centurion
They are roughly the same as the 7s (I’ve tested both) and the price and squeeze on the head isn’t worth it
@@WTCheatShaming I have both also I have to disagree with you the artics pro are by far a step up even compared to the 7sbeat out my Astro a 50s in many aspects with the exception of bass Wich is really thumpy on the a50s not though the swappable barriers and clearer crisper sound on the Pros win for me not to mention the swappable batteries that I get around 10 hours each on.
The arctis pro wireless are great sounding headsets and they have bluetooth (which allows you to connect to your phone and your ps4/pc, giving you the ability to pick up a phone call during gaming, it's pretty awesome). Although (for me) their predecessors (the H wireless) were significantly more comfortable.
I love the Arctis 7-- I have BT earbuds for my phone and a smart watch for phone calls... it's actually really nice for VR gaming.
Thnx for this video, I'm currently planning on building my first gaming setup and now I'm look for a wireless headset
the EQ tunes for my Virtuoso RGB SE make them sound really good thx
This is exactly what I needed. Nevermind, after watching I didn't see the arctis pro or the panda headphones which I was considering
It's kinda stupid they left the acrtis pros out, and instead reviewed the much lesser version of the series and compared them against 300 dollar Astros..
Vesa Manninen Which is funny too because they negative stuff they said about the cheaper ones simply isn’t true. I’ve never had a more comfortable pair of headphones. I can wear them all day and forget they’re on me
I have the arctis 9x and logitech g935, the 9x are at least 2 class over the logitech (and I am a G series “fanboy”) of course, to connect the 9x to pc trough wireless you need the xbox one windows adapter...wich I also have. I had the g935 before, but I got the 9x for xbox. End up using only the 9x on both, pc and xbox.
I’ve got the arctis 7s, what they said about the dts surround sound isn’t true. It’s an absolute garbage feature which has multiple complaints in almost every other review
you need to just buy the Panda if these are your two considerations????? (price difference is huge very unfair comparison) The Panda sound great and the Arctis pro sound absalutely horrible.
>Gaming for a couple of years "Your trusty old headset is getting a bit... tired." *looks at his Turtle Beach Ear Force x11s that he bought 8 years ago*
I've used and abused those same ones for so long, I don't think they'll ever break.
Games, Coffee & Collecting my PX3 wireless headset broke after 6 years, and shortly followed by my brothers a year later. Turtle Beach in that era were amazing. Consequently, a 35 dollar turtle beach headset broke in a week by unplugging the jack, so modern TB isn’t as good.
Same but Razer Kraken Pro of 2012/2013
yeah difinitly was turned around. I have also recorded my self and it didnt sound that bad
The best part is that the headphones he held up in that clip were some Audio Technica's, and likely sound better than any of the other headsets in the video, lol.
0:51 can you use that receiver with different brand headsets? the auto switch feature is enough to make me want it.
Hey, I need some help. Should I keep the Logitech and return it? I have a sony wh-1000xm3. Recently I purchased devices to start streaming and with this, I bought a Logitech g pro x wireless for gaming. Something that I notice is that sony is amazing in quality comparing to Logitech, but I really do not know the difference between gaming and normal headphones. Also, I have a mic (elgato wave 3) so I don't use the mic from the headphones. Thank you much
Steelseries Arctis Pro.That was the best headset to review...and it even has hot swappable battery. Also, how are you able to make microphones so muffled?
who else is watching this after one side of their headset stopped working?
My logitech G930 has no replaceable battery, the p-leather cup lining -flaked- disintergrated, after the headset had been out of use a while, when I put them on again. The lining didn't look any different, maybe dusty, but it just flaked off on my ears and shoulders exposing the foam underneath. So now the old G930 unit looks shaggy af ..it came with proprietary presets limited to a fairly narrow range of dated apps. But the OS system and newer games still hooked it in okay so it was fine on Ventrilo, Discord and them Voice apps. It still works, but materials fabrication quality and proprietary functionality leave me cold and the purchase cost was not 'cheap', nor was it 'competitive' compared to commercial market quality control in the audio pro/media industry. But these was the optimal wireless headset for pc gaming, back in the day. Everything for pc was made super cheesy and cheaptastic quality to bleed juniors and the must have schoolboy/girl segment. So I hope that has changed, given the pricing and build expectations of comparable product in the commercial sector. One dollar in my wallet should hold the same value as a dollar in somebody else's wallet. Know what I mean?
Santy Clause umm.... yeah I can’t read
Same. Steelseries arctis pro but just wondering if there’s anything better to upgrade while replacing
Razer kraken ultimate best headset worth the $130. 7.1 surround sound. RGB lighting.heavy aluminum base.Twist and rest on neck. Plug via usb not 3.5 mm headphone jack.Lots of features in razer synapse 3 to, customize the headphones to your liking. The microphone is so amazing with amazon Alexa features and you can’t mute the mic by tapping it so amazing! I would recommend this headset for 2020 and the best so far.
im getting there...
Hey team, can you also review headsets for teleconferencing? Midrange may do since we if not all, most are working from home.
For the Logitech G935's, how do I get to the setting for it to turn on surround sound, and the Equalizer, and RGB LED lights? etc. Etc.
7:05 When LTT says "Speaking of..." and it's not an advertisement of some sort 😁
How else would you know it's not Linus? :D
1:49 is... is the microphone backwards? Im using the arctis 5 right now and yeah thats backwards. Explains the crappy mic audio from theirs
Yeah the mic was turned backwards in that clip. Also my Artic 7's don't sound like that as I have heard myself on a recording a clan mate made so IDK why theirs turned out so bad. Also I have a huge head, I wear a 7 5/8 or 7 3/4 hat and these do NOT put too much pressure on my head.
@@Siciro I ordered it last week and got the arctis 7 this afternoon, GREAT headset damn. 120€ during steelseries sale. not bad afaik. The mic is waaaayyyy better than what they make it appear to be.. definitly not disappointed :):)
@@QGTube I bought mine September 2019 for $110 and couldn't be happier.
It must've been turned around in the delivery
sicirorvs It all depends on where you position the mic. It has to be close, but not too close. It is best for me when pointed up at the mouth from below just beyond line of sight
I used to love Logitech but they refuse to walk away from that cheap plastic feel that ruins the look of their good products, Corsair has become my new go to brand when it comes to premium built and quality.
Logitech's plastic feels bad indeed, but it's actually pretty sturdy!
had my virtuosos for around 3 years, good note is i had to replace my ear pads around half way through that and the headrest foam is starting to rip. still usable its just the stitching that started to pop, dont think you can replace it but you can just put a cover over it.
"For $120, this is one of the more affordable headsets in our lineup today." Welp, I'm out.
What are you expecting? Wireless is expensive
@@dill6078 Not really anymore. I have decent noise cancelling BT 4.0 headset that at regular price are only $60. I can't recommend BT 4.0 for connectivity issues (at least with old house walls), but the drivers are perfectly fine for everyday use including gaming and the NC isn't horrible pressure for no effect like other more expensive headsets I've had. It doesn't have a mic boom but I have a mic already, so didn't bother me at all. Point is, it isn't the wireless that's expensive, it's all the extras they tack onto it. I'm kind of hoping they look at BT headsets that don't include the mic boom and aren't directed specifically at gamers, with battery-draining RGB.
Xanthelei have u tried gaming with it? Play a rhythm game and there’s going to be very noticeable latency
@@Xanthelei this obviously isn't a video saying here's a cheap wireless headset that plays "audio"
yesjo1 someone worried about audio won’t give a fuck about this video. Bluetooth and 2.4ghz alike is something audiophiles dislike using, because “tHe SoUnD iS rUiNeD” without a cable.
I tested most of these headphones and came to the same conclusion that LTT did, the G935s sound amazing. Tons of bass and clarity, and they play LOUD, unlike my arctis 7's which even at full volume sound quiet. Kinda loud, but still not uncomfortably so. The G935's will hurt you if you crank them up all the way. Wish battery life was better and they had USB C instead of micro usb for charging, but otherwise wireless range is good and the sq is what really seals the deal. I thought logitech would use crappy drivers and have crappy sound since they're not an audio company, but they sound fantastic.
Been using the G935s for awhile, and I do not recommend it, they indeed sound amazing, but it has a lot of issues with G hub software and Windows drivers, your Windows got an update? well too bad now your headset will keep de-sync with the dongle all the time, you go for Logitech support they ask you to try on a different computer... Oh yeah my $2k computer is the problem not the $150 headset, sure, also why does other wireless headsets works just fine? Sure is not Logitech drivers or the terrible G Hub software, this happens constantly, sometimes I used for a week with no issues, sometimes is every single day, if you want to buy one, be aware of those issues...
Huh this was the video I watched. I grabbed a pair of g935’s today on a whim. Build quality is on the cheaper side like you pointed out but they were surprisingly comfortable. Mic quality matches up more or less with any wired headset I’ve used above 50 usd. The audio quality was surprisingly good though. I’m used to using Sennheiser Jubilee headphones for everyday use and I didn’t notice any huge loss when I switched to the G935’s after tweaking the equalizer.
So as soemone with the Corsair Virtuoso, and no eq expirience. How good is the LTT sound preset? I play rpgs games, car games and valorant/pubg
Confused as to why the Arctis pro wireless wasn’t included when the 7 was. Not the “best” steel series has in their lineup but okay
Arctis pro is the best man
I got the Arctis Pro for same prize as the 7, comes with 2 batteries, so I have never had any downtime
Dubious that feature is so amazing. Not having to charge your headphones is actually amazing
Yeah the only thing they could have done slightly better is a second battery in the thing so while changing it would swap over without it shutting off and then the new battery would charge the battery of the tiny headset battery but it should be programmed to only be like that not as reserve battery
@@RaiseDennis Have to agree, a couple years ago I bought Steel Series Siberia 800, they broke and the way they do warranty at Steelseries is they provide a voucher of the RRP of it on their site. I bought my SS800 for like 180 from box, then got the SS840 as they had their devices on sale when I broke them. Then the same thing happened a little later down the line and I managed to get the Arctis Pro for free. They sound amazing, they come with a flat default tune so u have to change it but once you do that they're so good, especially with no downtime and the customer service I mentioned above. Haven't had any QC issues with the arctis pro, my dumb self was just breaking the hinges on the old Siberia headsets, not an issue on the new ones.
No Audio Technica or Sennheiser but has the word "best" in the title.
I own the Sennheiser GSP 500's and boy do they sound amazing with my sound blaster card.
I have the ath-g1wl and those are real audiophile wireless gaming headphones. Blows those wireless tin cans they showed out of the water.
Dt770s, ok not wireless, but way better than all of this junk in the vid :)
no plantronics either ive got the plantronics rig 800 sound quality is insane with dolby atmos too
*gaming*
I'm pretty surprised they hated the sound of the hyper x cloud flight so much. I tried them and liked them.
Got the 935 for christmas and my god they're great. I mean, the sound is nowhere near something along the lines of Bose QC2 or Sony XM3, but after playing with the EQ software, the sound is actually really good. I have not encountered any of the issues other users report, but I'm really happy with them. Only downside to me is that I've got a pretty big head, so the clamping force is a bit too high for me, but I guess is your head is on the small side, good for you then
I want really good audio quality, so would those Bose be the way to go? I got scared away from them once I heard you can’t use them while it’s charging and if the battery goes bad. You are screwed.
Can we get a video like this for higher end wired headsets (such as the steelseries artic pros or senhiser gsp 550 )?

So you covered the Arctic sevens but not the Arctic pros which I have 🤣
Thank you, I thought I was the only one thinking that... The Steelseries Arctis Pro Wireless DESTROY all the competition here
I own Arctis 5 and I'm pretty happy with them. 7.1 bullshit disabled, of course. They say that Seven pressure is too much, my fives are the opposite.
Yep me too. Had them for about 6 months and even though they were pricey, I 100% recommend them.
I also have the Pros. I thought they might not cover them b/c of the price, but the a50's are the same as the Pros..... Why not cover the top of the line?
Initially i thought it was because of the price but then again they have the A50's included. So it's odd. But regardless - in terms of range and battery life nothing beats the Pro because if the ingeniuous dual battery system. 24/7 wireless. Unless you forget to plug in the spare battery. Thankfully this has never happened to me. Also the Pro is much better in terms of build quality than the predecessor Siberia 800/840 and H Wireless. And better than the A50 too. Im not a big fan of the fabric earcups because i preferred the older leather versions. Wish Steelseries would atleast offer leather versions as addons.
Just as a heads up, although the Logitech's sound creaky, they are sturdy, after more than 3 years of usage of my G933 (previous model to the G935) they are still working and have no problem whatsoever. Steelseries doesn't last, the pressure they apply to your head actually breaks the headphone off where it meets the headband. this happens in all of the models that have this headband, even in the super expensive Arctis Pro Wireless. And the Support from "Stealseries"? Does not exist. I created a support ticket and the only response I got was the automated one saying my ticket was closed, yeah thanks a lot SteelSeries!
i had 2 pairs didnt even last a year combined and their circuit board is fault from factory which fucks up the powerbutton after a few months of use
The Corsair Virtuoso Wireless RGBs are pretty good, 7/10. At first, they were super uncomfortable (and kind of painful) for me because the ear cups pressed against the top and bottom of my ears, but after about a week of use I don't feel the sensation at all anymore. Regardless, the ear cups really should have been tall ovals instead of circles. The padding is also a bit stiff, but it's far from the worst headset I've used as far as comfort goes. Another thing I should mention is that for pretty much all other headsets I've ever worn, I only have to extend the earcups three to five clicks down. For these, I typically have to use nine or ten clicks, and it only goes up to eleven (for a total of twelve settings per earcup including zero clicks), so if you have a large head, they may not be super comfortable (that's just speculation though). Games and video sound pretty good, but music just sounds terrible compared to my Sony WH-1000XM3 (I'm not claiming to be an audiophile (they would laugh at me if I said I was and used that Sony pair), just more discerning than the average listener). Seriously, if you like hearing detail in songs, look somewhere else. Honestly you really shouldn't be looking at gaming headsets at all; I've never heard a gaming headset sound good for music listening. Given that, I would imagine that for casual listeners, these would be *fine*, certainly better than AirPods and the like. I don't really notice enough of a difference between wired and wireless, so I just use wireless most of the time. The wireless latency is unnoticeable to me compared to wired. I actually mainly got these because the latency of the Sony pair over Bluetooth was pretty annoying. Just keep in mind that if you do plan on using them wirelessly, I would get a USB extender so the USB receiver has line-of-sight with the headset because at least in my set-up, having the receiver plugged in to the back of my PC would cause signal drops occasionally. I could also have it plugged into the front panel, but I don't like keeping things plugged into it as I find it a bit unsightly. Charging via USB-C is really nice, but if you're charging while wearing the headset, the port is angled in such a way that the cable goes *back* towards your left shoulder instead of straight down which is really annoying. Charging also takes surprisingly long, but it's not a big deal if you get into the habit of remembering when to charge. I use the headset for anywhere from three to six hours a day with the RGB turned off and I probably have to charge it every four or five days. I'm primarily a Linux user (Manjaro), and the headset works perfectly fine without the iCue software running all the time. I do have it installed on my Windows 11 virtual machine so I can change settings if I need to, but the headset saves RGB and sleep timer settings in its onboard memory. The biggest downside is that you don't get a battery indicator. It doesn't even show up in the Device Viewer in KDE Plasma like my Logitech G502 Lightspeed does (without using Logitech's G HUB software). The headset has a small status LED on the bottom of the left earcup and flashes green, orange, or red depending on the remaining charge and beeps every so often when the charge is low (I haven't paid attention to how often it is, but if I had to guess it's probably about every five or ten minutes so it's not super annoying).
Thanks, this helped. =D
Ditto. I game exclusively on Linux and your feedback has narrowed it down for me.
I've got a plantronics rig 800HD and it's amazing. Hours and hours on one charge and good quality sound.
yeah Plantronics make great wireless headphones
Arctis Pro
Me too!
I got the Corsair Viruososo SE and I LOVE THEM. Also, the range is around 60ft, not 25ft as these guys put it. It depends on what type of walls you have and what objects are in the way between the headphones and the receiver. I get around 50ish FT before the single starts dropping.
I got the regular ones because the mic sounded better but i dont understand how for the Virtuoso as a whole they didnt include a mic test. The mic sounds fantastic for a wireless headset and even really great compared to wired headsets
Also got the Corsair Virtuoso. I live in a tiny house, I can't leave the room (12ft+) without increasingly frequent drop outs. Also for some reason near Max Charge and Low Charge, the headset will randomly lose audio for 2-5seconds + at a time. Also, battery life is closer to 12 hours than advertised 20 hours. Also at 0 charge, the headphones can take up to 5-10 minutes to turn on after being cabled up (regardless of being set to wire or usb mode). Also the (nicely braided) charging cable isn't exactly short, but it's no where near as long as cheaper competitors. Also if the headset does lose connection, the mic is automatically turned back on - potentially a barrel of laughs if you've ran to the toilet in the middle of a raid. Also.
@@noxistudios Strange, I also have the Virtuoso but have none of these issues you complain of... Are you on current firmware?
Whilst it does depend on the walls and other interferance they would've tested each headset in the same way which means the Arctis 7s for instance would be better in a situation with more interferance/thicker walls than the Viruososo
One thing I'm always looking for in a headset that is pc wireless is an audio jack and for the headset to be able to take multiple audio sources. This is so that I can play on my Xbox one with my friends, but still listen to music or watch youtube videos wirelessly through my pc.
I just have to say thank you for the equalizer for the Virtuoso XT, I've been struggling to find the right one and the sound was straight out horrible. Now, it's PERFEKTO. You legend, God bless you.
Would've love to see the Arctis Pro Wireless to make a appearance here... it would put all the other contenders to heavy sweat with its features
the one that would actually make the contenders sweat are: audeze mobius, hyper x cloud orbit. Or, even better (but more expensive), Sennheiser momentum 3 with creative AptX LL dongle and modmic wireless.
yeah same, its the best and i got my for 150$ new, so a real bargain!
@@inportrace At $150 new? That's a steal, even compared to "audiophile" headphones, considering they won't have a dac/amp and wireless at that price point, nor are they as easy to setup if they did. Nice purchase.
They get the extra sound quality the Arctis 7 is missing, and the benefit of 2 interchangable batteries (which charge in the controlstation) and bluetooth, for use outside of gaming too... LOVE mine... have had them for 1½ year now, and would still not even consider any other headset if I had all the money in the world
@@chrisr8244 yup got it for 150, so i bought 2 of em and flipped the other for 230 so basically got mine for free :D
I think they purposefully left out the Steelseries Arctis Pro Wireless, because they would destroy all the competition.
I find the Corsair Void Pro RGB Wireless better than most of the examples here in the 100ish EUR/USD price range. Mic is great, they are very light and comfortable on the head, sound is good, the only thing, that will happen in time, is the self lowering mic (you got an extra mute button though), to me it started 2 years after purchase. I guess that's the case with any mics that work that way. The removable were way worse in my experience.
Or because they are so bad. Maybe its just me, but if the Arctis Pro Wireless would destroy everything, i have no hope of finding a good replacement of my 12 year old headset. I had the Wireless Pro for a week before returning them. They sound so bad, i really do not hope their sound is supposedly some of the best
Audeze Mobius would be better than any of these imo.
@@DJDa9L In the beginning i thought the sound was underwhelming as well. But if you set it up properly it will blow your mind, at least mine did.
@@DJDa9L gdamn you got some sensitive ass ears boy. It All sounds good to me. If the steal series don't blow you away idk what the fuck you've been using
Do any of the other headsets also have a separate chat/game audio like the arctis 7?🤔 Cuz that function is a frickin lifesaver
The Astro A50 does.
I'd really like to see an updated version of this video with a bunch more headsets.
I love how mic quality is still hot garbage on most of these products, oh headset industry, will you ever change?
It probably have more to do with how much data can be transferred wirelessly while still having super low ping than hardware problem.
I mean the mics in mobiles are also trash tier. For most people this is all that's needed, we aren't recording for media production with these things we are talking to our friends on discord. Good enough is enough
If a $30 headset can have a great mic, so should more expensive and popular ones. I'm tired of the indifference.
@@em0_tion I think you are getting this backwards. You are blaming the headset manufacturers for being indifferent about mics but they don't care because it doesn't affect sales much. It doesn't affect sales much because the average gamer is indifferent. I know people don't like being the special case but really I've never heard someone really complain about chat mics on headsets. Most people just don't care, If they want a good mic for recording they just buy a really good one. If they aren't recording they don't give a toss. Hence the manu guys dont give a toss. Getting pissy at the manufacturers for not caring when most people also don't care is kinda pointless.
@Cfilorvyls In the year 2020 it really is not a challenge to encode, wirelessly transmit, receive and decode high quality single channel audio in less than the 8 ms required before humans start being able to notice a delay. Especially not over short distances with both the sender and receiver being designed by the same company. That's a complete non-issue. aptX live can ensure 1.8 ms max delay with very high audio quality.
This episode would have been perfect for a ridge wallet ad, considering that intro.
I'm absolutely amazed that they didn't use this as their segue.
You stopped talking about range of the wireless after 2 sets... What range did you get from the Astro A50s? I find I only get about 25 feet... How do the Logitech G935s do for range?
If you apply an eq on pc, does it stick with the headset when I use it on ps4? Specifically the Logitech 935
I am surprised that the Astro A50's did so well considering how old they are. I have seen other reviews that place them much lower in the sound department so its nice to see they are still worth keeping. I am still using A40's from 2011, and their customer support has been amazing! They replaced the headband when I stepped on them for 50$ and sent me a new cable completely free of charge shipping included when my old one finally broke a year ago. Glad to see that, while expensive they are still one of the best sounding gaming headphones, and I for sure have gotten my value out of them.
well the gen 4 has got the new audio version
My Siberia 2 just started dying last night 😣 bought it in 2010 😭 my trusty compagnon. Honestly I'm going steelseries straight up again.
What wireless headset would you guys recommend for ps4 that has a working chat/game mix? Great video. 👍
Astro A50's, comfy as hell, charging wires used are widely available so if they break you don't need to order some random wire from across the world if the current one breaks. Also the design is extremely intelligent, besides the main frame, the speakers and head cushion can pop out and back into place, so if you drop it, instead of the headset breaking, you just pop the speaker back in (They rarely pop out to begin with, you'd probably have to drop it from really high up or straight up throw them) The audio slider is really well placed, no need to look down at the wire and fiddle with a box to lower the volume, instead its a wheel built into the headset. chat/game volume balance is also placed on the side of one of the speakers, so thats convenient too. Also if they need to charge you can still use them by just plugging in a wire to it, so no issues with not being able to be used during charging. The battery life is good too, it says 8 but i've gotten like 12 hours out of mine, and they only take roughly 4 hours to charge. not to mention the sound quality is really good, my only issue is maybe the mic but even then it works fine, its not bad, just average. I've owned two so far, my first pair lasted me almost 3 years before it broke (I got it used from a pawn shop though) Those were gen 2's I believe. Currently I own gen 4's and they are going fine, no issues so far. so yeah, if you have 300 bucks to spare, go ahead and get them, much better than buying a cheap headset every couple of months because they break.
I would enjoy you guys revisiting this topic, wired options too.
Why not use the steelseries arctis pro in the review? its just as expensive as the Corsair... more of a fair fight.
audeze mobius, hyper x cloud orbit. Or, even better (but more expensive), Sennheiser momentum 3 with creative AptX LL dongle and modmic wireless.
