Check out my comparison of the GSP 500 and Game One - two awesome gaming headsets by Sennheiser that ultimately earned my money over the Cloud Flight and Arctis 7: • GSP 500 vs Game One
I decided to start a channel. Help support me by using my link to buy one of these headsets!
Amazon US:
Arctis 7 (2019): amzn.to/2EdHsKn
Cloud Flight: amzn.to/2Ah4gnM
My current headset, the Sennheiser GameOne: amzn.to/2Vc3Gk3
*UPDATE*
I forgot to include this in the video. The LED on the side of the Cloud Flight doesn't save your preference, meaning if you want to turn it off (for max battery life), you have to toggle it off every time you turn on the headset.
I discuss my experience with the Arctis 7 and the Cloud Flight.
I go category by category and tell you which one I think is best, and point out the flaws in each
Thanks so much for the support on this video everyone! I never expected it to get this many views. I've since decided to start a channel that's tech focused, while keeping things practical. Audio and video quality has definitely improved, but that's not saying much compared to this vid haha. Hope you find the video helpful!
Did you just buy it through amazon or the acual website becuase you can by different ear cups like leather and yes the strap is adjustable but i dont recomend getting the acrtis series from amazon becuase you dont get a choice
I bought it from Best Buy actually. Good to know about the ear cups! Apparently SteelSeries has changed a lot since this review which is good, they're listening to their consumers. One of my friends bought the Arctis 7 recently and loves em
whats up man i wanne now if you still have the flight by any chance i now its a long time ago but my range on my flight is pretty good just wanne let you know cheers man
@@brianseghers8313 Hey man. I don't, my audio setup currently is all wired. Mayflower ARC, Sennheiser HD 58X, and a ModMic wireless/my KZhead mic. Not sure I'll go wireless again anytime soon, but definitely glad you're digging your pair!
Dude you can adjust the headband on the artics!!!!!!
It's funny how the videos that are not paid for are the best.
Luke (fishingkaki) thanks man! I'll be doing a lot of tech videos and always let you know up front if I bought the device or not. That's the way all videos should be done imo - gives you that initial sniff test so you know where I'm coming from
I agree, you cant fully trust hyperx product reviews nowadays
That's how I feel about a lot of things sadly. Free stuff = not entirely honest reviews
if this isnt facts then i dont what is
Thank you very much for the awesome comparison and review! I have been doing research and trying to decide on a wireless headset for about a month now. After looking at over 30 options, these 2 are the one's I narrowed it down to for my price point. I have been using a wired headset for about 3 to 4 years and after my wife and I have yanked it enough times, one side no longer works so I am done with wired. You would think that with the technology of today, there would be a ton a high quality, comfortable fit, and fully featured options around the $150 mark but as it turns out, many are cheap and overpriced and honestly don't offer much more than what the $30 wired options provided. Without paying $300+, these truly are the 2 best wireless options from what I have researched and all I was missing was a nice video comparison to truly make my decision on and you provided it! Thanks again!
GREAT VID FOR A CREATOR WHO'S NEW TO KZhead! I wanted to see a comparison like you too but it was nowhere to be found. Great video once again!
That's what I was looking for, thank you for sharing dude
Thank you so much for this comparison! I was having a hard time deciding between these two, and this video was a tremendous help.
No problem! Glad you got some value out of it
Thanks so much man! Super detailed and exactly what I needed to see! Try some more videos like this, you are a natural.
Thank you for the review my friend!!
Good review man, appreciated.
i like how you try to be as professional as possible. good job dude :D
Hoàng Việt Vũ he is professional
i wanna like this comment but.......i just cant
Awesome video man, incredibly detailed and it helped me a lot. I think I'll be buying the Cloud Flights as the wireless capability was less about me getting up and doing stuff and more about how my wired headset gets tangle around my chair and just generally looks messy. Thanks again for a great review.
Thanks man, glad it helped you out! Something I forgot in the video, is I had to keep toggling off the LED light on the side of the Cloud Flights every time I turned them on. Gets you basically double the battery life, just a bit of an annoyance to have to do it every time you turn them on. I think you're gonna dig them, they sound great
@@SpencerDean14 the flight does have software on pc and when battery gets low the headset beeps in your ear near 10% battery and battery life is amazing on flights
Check the date the video was uploaded. Gen 1 didn't back when I recorded this
This is exactly the review i was looking for. I am also a previous cloud 2 owner and they broke after 3 years of heavy use. This video made me decide on what headset to go with, which will be the Flights. Thanks
Glad I could help! Enjoy
Thanks! Great compare
this is an amazing vid tnx dude really nice now i now witch one i will buy
Thanks for this video, very informative helped me out alot
No problem man! Glad it helped ya out
Great video, exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks dude! I'll be doing some more content like this going forward too
Nice how straight to the point you were. I just went with Arctis 7 because of design and comfort strictly because I like more cloth type ear muffs. Can't go wrong with either in my opinion especially if you can find one under $100.
Great video, was just what I was looking for.
Thanks! Glad I could help
Great video I have been torn between these headsets for 2 weeks and now I have purchased the Sennheisers
Sleeping ZzZz's which ones?
Luis Ramirez Game Zero the audio quality is amazing and they are very comfortable
Great video and this one exactly the type of video I needed.
Awesome! Glad I could help ya out man
Good Video Spencer! FYI - The small usb-dongle cable on "Arctis 7" adds an extra Wireless Antenna with a big wireless walking-around range of 125 feet (38 meters) ... "Flight Cloud" usb-flat-plug range is only 65 feet (19 meters). It has no added antenna cable going to the dongle. Of course open line-of-sight and walls effect distance. (Below, Erick Leon has a good tip to place Flight Cloud plug as high as you can.) ... Another Arctis 7 benefit is input/output plugs on the dongle for easy audio switching to external speakers for music and videos.
Ah, that makes sense why the Arctis 7 was so much better range wise vs the HyperX. Thanks for that info, and the compliment!
Amazing review u earned a subb planning on picking up flights
Thanks man! Hope you dig em. A lot of people have found a nice sale on them between black Friday and now
I like yourr honesttyy All the lovee from lebanonn❤️
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it
I watched this whole video and im still having a trouble time picking one lol. This video helped a lot its just that i have to pick one I cant return it. The only game I really play is csgo but I heard that the flight had better comfort but I have a small head so Should I go with the arctis 7? I also heard that the 2019 edition got better with sound quality and mic.
Bro! I know it might be to late xD😅but I if you have some time to an answer… I have used the cloud flights for almost a year and have the option to purchase something between 100-200$ because I can give the back and refound the original 150 i spent for them. What’s you’re opinión between the cloud 2 wireless and the cloud flight? Do you have another suggestion?
It's my birthday in a week and my cloud 2's just broke. I think I'm going to go with the cloud flights they look really nice! Thank you for making this video
No problem! Glad it helped you out, and happy early birthday!
@@SpencerDean14 ty sm! And by the way what headset are you using at the moment? Just curious and I cant wait for you to blow up on here bro you deserve it!
@@pointlessproject8076 thanks man! Right now my setup is a little bit overboard... I have a ModMic wireless that I use when it isn't broken (currently waiting on a replacement), so I'm using my newer KZhead mic - a Samson Q2U Then I have a Sennheiser x Massdrop HD 58X as my headset, hooked up to a Mayflower ARC AMP/DAC... AND I just ordered another pair of openback headphones (Heiman x Massdrop HE4XX) So my setup is a little overboard haha
@@SpencerDean14 Damn good stuff man i appreciate the help my guy! Ty
Thanks for the review. One thing i will say about the reviews i've seen on the Arctis 7 headphones. Everyone says that you can't adjust the band but, the band is held on by velcro, which you can easily take off and adjust if need be. May not be a large adjustment but, you can give yourself a little room. Overall, this is not a bad review.
Thanks man! Yeah I know you can do that and adjust it slightly, it's just such a small difference I didn't think it really counted. Like it's not what you would typically think of as an adjustment ya know? So if someone new is looking at the headset I don't want them to think they can do a big adjustment
@@SpencerDean14 Hey, it's all good, it's still a good review on the headphones. It does help me on deciding which headphone to purchase. Thanks again!
Thanks man, glad it helped!
Thumbs up for doggo walking around
Lol. He's like 60 pounds now and still a puppy. He makes recording videos... Fun. Punched me in the eye this morning tho
@@SpencerDean14 and how is he after 2 years?
Doing well! It's my parents dog, but he's still loving life
Hey Spencer. I've been using Senn HD 558's for 2 years. I've been looking for a pair of wireless that might compete on sound-quality and thought maybe finally the cloud-flights might be the ones. Are they really that much worse? I'll probably still pick up a pair and give'm a whirl but your closing statement doesn't have me very positive. I'm mainly looking for positional audio for games like csgo.
They do fine, but I think my thing was more I had never tried open back headphones til the GameOne and GSP 500 so it blew my mind how good they were. The Flight's are still good, just not as good and the wireless wasn't worth the downgrade in sound imo. But hey, sound is super subjective, so if I were you, and you really want wireless, I'd buy a pair knowing you can return them if they don't fit what you're looking for :)
This is so helpfull
Excellent! I did the same test but ended up keeping the Arctis 7 since I needed a wireless solution with a mike. It’s also the only headset that’s really compatible with Mac. The hyperX says it is but there are many problems and no software for Mac (they now have a Windows beta).
Nice! Both are great for the money. Macs are always funny though unfortunately. Glad they're working out for you man
I actually have the game ones paired with the GSX 1200. Sound is amazing, im going to get the flights due to leatherette earcups and closed back design, also the fact its wireless. Great review as i wasn't sure which one to go for.
Mr Rimbo nice dude. You'll have to leave a follow up comment and let me know what you think of the Flight coming from that combo. I ultimately decided to go with the GSP 500 and GSX 1000 just due to it being a bit more comfy vs the Game One with my Gunnar glasses on (gsp 500 vs game one will be my next vid) But yeah I'm curious to hear what you think going to a wireless pair from something with that amazing sound
So the Steelseries is for those who do JUST gaming, right? Is what you're saying? That's pretty much what I want a headset for is strictly gaming. Not to take outdoors, or listen to music with, maybe listen to music a little while I play like black metal music for RPG like Skyrim and Dungeons and Dragons type games, but I think I'll be doing more gaming than music play. I was thinking of getting the steel series. I have Monster in-ear earphones and Bose Noise Cancelling QC35II headsets. I just want something for strictly gaming and with surround sound.
Good review. Though you recommend wired in the end mmm that kinda defeats the purpose of the whole wireless vs wireless headset.
great video! helped me out heaps picking between the two!
I hate these headphones cause every review is always the opposite of eachother. "It felt really good for hours on end" "It got uncomfortable after an hour" Like seriously do I have to buy $500 headphones for a good set?
Haha, everyone's head is different man. I'd say buy them and try them. If they suck, return em! Best Buy is where I got mine, ez return
The strap on the Arctis7 is attached on both sides with velcro. You can change how tight the headset is by using the velcro. The Acrtis 7 also has a massively adaptable equalizer program.
By the design of the headband, you can't adjust it. Adjusting velcro centimeters doesn't really do anything, c'mon man. Their eq stuff was cool for sure, just felt limited by the drivers in it. Even when you boost the bass, it's still lacking. That's where I was coming from
You should be a hand model. I have both of them, I'm sticking with Cloud Flight. Better sound and comfort overall.
Haha thanks man. Too many scars on my right hand for that though Nice, I like that one better too
Thanks so much for that video. PS: I also came from the HyperX Cloud 2
No problem man, glad you found it useful!
Glad to see reviews that aren't sponsored, or biased BS or sucking up to a headset because they received it for free. Great review!
Thanks man! In the rare event I get something for free, I always call it out at the beginning of the video
a quick update for everybody going for the cloud flight. The cloud flight does have software now where you can monitor the battery percentage and adjust the mic/sound volume. It also saves the LED setting you set it to so you don't have to do it every time you turn it on.
please the link
S.K.M sa link to what. I have the headset and if you want u Can go check out hyperx website
I like your review, but i have a question so i have a Logitech g533 and it bass a lot off bass to it and recently i bought a cloud flight but personally i thought that there wasnt a lot of bass on the cloud flight so my question is if you adjust the eq on the arctis software for more bass was there more bass on the arctis or still not that much cause im considering to buy the arctis and sell my cloud flight
Flights were still heavier on bass. If you're wanting LESS bass, get the Arctis. I've heard the 2019 version of the Arctis fixed a lot of my complaints too!
thank you for this very very good video , and do you think the razer nari would be better than those 2 ?
Hey man sorry for taking so long to reply! I would take either of these over the Nari personally. I've never tried the Nari, BUT I don't like the rounded ear cups. I like oval shaped ear cups to make sure my ear sits inside of it if that makes sense Super subjective thing, but that's why I haven't tried any of the razer headsets yet. If you're curious what I mean, see if it's at a best buy or micro center, or even Walmart, near you and try em on!
dude you are so great ! nice review ! I understand everything and you are cool at doing this kind of review nc nc nc thumbs up
Thanks man! Glad you liked the vid
Just picked up some Cloud Flights coming from the Cloud 2. The flights are "slightly" lower sound quality, but dam I forgot how much I missed wireless headsets. Over all pretty impressed, no battery indicator is the big miss but I will live!
Nice man, glad you're digging em. Cloud 2 was a solid headset, mine lasted a few years
Great review dude, I currently have the Arctis 7 but my son has recently taken over it. I was in the market for a new headset for myself but wanted to go with something different. Looks like I will be trying out the hyper x. Thanks dude.
Ronald Reyes thanks man, glad I could help! In the $150 range the Game Ones by Sennheiser are solid too, just not wireless
Spencer Steele I'll take a look at them as well considering you mentioned the sound was better. Thanks again.
Is it the Flight better?
I think so yeah
@@SpencerDean14 thks. I bought them last week and it will arrive here next month I was thinking if I did a good purchase.
Plug the usb hub for the Flights on top of your pc and it will make a huge difference! it did for me at least.
Erick Leon what do u mean?
I think he meant range wise, vs plugging in the back of your PC. Valid point imo, duno how many people think of it
I don't care that much for the mic quality of a video, as long as it is understandable and the content is honest and helpful. Good job man!
Thanks man! Got a new mic and camera now so hopefully they look a bit better anyway haha
proprietary charging cable? What? That's a huge deal breaker. No other review has mentioned this. Thanks for the comparison!
No problem! Glad it helped
What would you recommend for a xbox or just console gaming hesdset beacause im looking for something thats mainly good for fortnite or other games like cod or gta any recommendations😊 Ps love the review 😁
Lil Gamer first of all I should let you know that most headsets are optimised for pc. (Specifically wireless) and if you are adamant on sticking to console I would reccomend the turtle beach x60 as a budget wired headset or the corsair hs50. If you really wanted wireless I would stick with turtle beach (most models will be fine)
Lil Gamer I would reccomend switching to pc though
Ok thnx for the advice i am thinking of getting a monitor so i might do😁
Lil Gamer No need to go all out or anything but if you do transfer to pc then build your own. It's much more cost effective. You won't need not than a GTX 1050 to out perform your Xbox btw so don't spend too much
@Original Man it ain't bull shit man. Pc is literally better. If he wants to change then he should go for it
Good vid, but I’m still undecided lol. The arctis 7 looks like it could be uncomfortable for me (plus the lack of adjustability) & I thought oh great I’ll get the hyperx... then I saw the lack of game/chat audio adjustments on side lol. I’m buying for PS4 & I still dunno what to do :/ Do I spend £100-150 or splash out and get some astro a50’s
I can't make the decision for ya man. If I were you, I think I'd order Astro's and one of the Steel Series or HyperX and try both out for a week, and return the ones you don't like as much. Can't speak to Astro tho, never tried em
Mic does not mute when you retract the mic on the arctis 7. Probably you do have a defective unit
Does the hyperx mic replace able with other michrophone that have same jack?
nice review. i ordered the cloud flights; you can find them for half the price (£55 in uk) and wireless range isnt a dealbreaker.
Nice! That's a killer deal
Wheee the fuck did you find them for £55? I just spent £120 on them 😭😭😭
Hi, great video, very helpful! I've been looking into a buying a new headset and have been watching your videos a lot. I wanted to ask your opinion on some of the headsets that I've been looking into. Basically, I want a headset that is good sound quality, primarily with tracking footsteps/enemy locations (mainly for Fortnite, but also other games). I've come down to a few options. The first being the Logitech g633 (now at around $100), the Hyper X Cloud II (not sure whether to go with the Cloud Alpha Pro or Cloud II), and finally possibly an Astro headset. I also looked into the Steelseries, but after watching a review on another channel thought it might not be a great fit. My price range is around $100, I'd possibly spend up to $150, but would prefer to spend less. Thanks!
Kamran Bina the only one I can speak to is the Hyper X Cloud II. I had one for 4 years until it broke (read - I raged and broke it lol), but all my friends who have a Hyper X headset love them. In your price range, I have no problem recommending anything Hyper X. A word of advice though, see if it has simulated 7.1 surround or not. Some people love the simulated 7.1, others hate it. Just something to be aware of Two other options, the Corsair Void Pro I've heard good things about. It wasn't for me but it's under 100 and wireless, I also have a few friends that really like it. My personal recommendation would be the Sennheiser Game One. It's gonna be about $150 but man, is it worth it. Can't beat it for the money! It's an open back though, so look into that and see if it suits your needs. Koss also makes an open back gaming headset that's $80 if I remember correctly. I haven't used it, but BadSeed Tech did a review and spoke highly of it Hope this helps!
Also, here's the Koss open back gaming headset review by BadSeed Tech I referenced. I really like this guy's content kzhead.info/sun/e5yBn72FqmqXio0/bejne.html
thanks so much!
I bought the Arctis 7 and absolutely love it. Mic picks me up even when stowed. Sound is great. Very comfortable at first. However, maybe my ears stick off the side of my head more than some so if yours are very close, might not be an issue but after a while, started to hurt my ears. Funny that I started writing this as soon as the video started and he mentioned the same issue as I was typing it. None of the reviews I had seen mentioned this. Weren't many for the 7 anyway, most are for Arctis 5. But overall, happy with the headset. But it's honestly better just to get some high quality headphones and a separate mic.
Haha yeah man, I thought that was weird too. Comfort is subjective but yeah I'm eight there with ya Glad you're digging em though!
Whos the tracking of steps in games?
After a long search of headphones I narrowed my search to these two. I just cant decide which one to buy. I would get the arctis 7 2019 version for 100 and flights for 140. Can you listen music really loud with the flights? And please help me decide. I have a semi big head and ears so comfort may come a problem with the arctis.
Music was good on both, the Flights were more bass heavy if that matters to you. Little more ear cup padding on Arctis 7, but more headband adjustment on Flights... I think I'd recommend the flights only because you said you have a big head. Worst case scenario hopefully you can return em if they don't work out
i got the arctis 7 and i changed the earpads to a thick velour earpad and im starting to love them!
Nice! Good call on the earpads
Where did u find the ear pad
Nice video man
Thanks man! Glad you liked it
Many Thanks.
hey dude, i have the cloud 2 as well and bought the flight. it sounds horrible compared to the cloud 2 , why ?
If people see this comment as of right now, the hyperx cloud flight is 115$ and arctis is 119$ today on Amazon.
On eBay refurbished well reviewed arctis 7 for me is around 80$ a killer deal for the performance
@@leocortez8198 artic 7 are trash tho
not sure why you have the audio drops. I've had the cloud flight for years now and they have incredible range. my Pc is downstairs and i go upstairs to the kitchen and rarely ever drops. I can wear them all day and sometimes forget i have them on. really have nothing bad to say other than the material on the ear cups have started to flake after nearly 4 years with thousands of hours of use.
if i can get Arctis 7 2019 edition for about 110 and hyperx cloud for 120 , what do you recommend me?
Both are a steal at that price. I like the sound of the hyper X personally, but the lower price and feature set of the Artis 7 would make me lean that way. So Arctis 7 is what I think I'd do, but both are a good buy
Why did they place that small mute button on the top left in "Arctis 7"? Same time the "Siberia 800" (older model) has this bigger button on the right, that works as mute and power button. I've never missed the mute button with my thumb because it has this edge and the button is kinda inside the headset.
I personally prefer what Sennheiser does (in sure other companies do this too) Just move the mic boom/arm up and it mutes. Easy and obvious if it's muted
The Arctis 7 headband can be slightly adjusted for as far as the velcro can reach in either direction.
Does that really count though? I did try playing with that, but the adjustment was negligible (thats why I didn't mention it). If you have the headset and like it though awesome, its popular for a reason. I just have a small head which makes headsets tricky, especially with that design
Spencer Dean My head is slightly too big to fit the standard setup, and the adjustments I could make are just enough to make it fit right. I do agree that the the adjustments are minor but in some cases it's enough.
casputin1 ah gotcha. Well nice man glad they fit! My small head has caused issues before with headphones and headsets, and I'm sure it will again lol
I had a few friends who complained about the quality of my voice while using the hyper x's (PS4 game chat). I love the headset but i dont wanna keep it if the mic doesnt sound very well.
Something to keep in mind - Sony compresses the hell out of their chat for PS4. Idc if you keep the Flights or not ya know, just don't want you to return em if you're digging em minus the mic quality. Maybe let one of your friends borrow it so you can hear how the mic sounds or something? At the end of the day, PS4 chat is compressed so much that mic quality would be my last concern (I game on PC so I can't speak to a specific mic that sounds good on PS4, I just know most of them don't sound great due to the compression)
Yea other than the mic issue i'm loving the headset so I think i'm just going to keep it
Nice man. Glad you found one you like!
The honesty is brutal.
No reason to sugar coat it. Not afraid of losing a sponsor bc I don't have one 😂
I got the SteelSeries Arctis 7 I didn’t like it decided to return it and get the Hyper X flight and it was wayyyyyy better. So glad I did the return!!
Yeah it's weird but I think sometimes we forget that there's a return policy haha
why did you not like it
@@Mark-xw5yt The bass was a bit too much for me even turned it down to the lowest. I play csgo so when i hear footsteps it seemed that the sound of the bass from all the grenades being thrown was distorting the sounds of the footsteps.I couldnt handle it at all. I rage quit after that. lmao but returning it was the best thing i swear. HYPER X FLIGHT save your time from going back to do a return. You'll thank me later. LOL
Cloud flight is only $79.99 right now on Amazon. Great deal!
@@hamsome9511 I got the cloud flights for 73 usd on a black friday deal when they usually retail for 147 usd here in Norway :)
Which one would you say it's louder? That's mine main concern. I had the Arctis 7 and returned them. Getting Flights on Monday.
I'd say Flight but I don't specifically remember. If the Flights still aren't loud enough for you, and you have some extra cash, HyperX just dropped a new Wireless headset that's about $300. Wireless and loudness for the price is a tough combo tho
@@SpencerDean14 Yeah I saw those New cloud mix Hyper X but those are bluetooth and PS4 doesn't support Bluetooth so I would have to use them wired anyway.
I was also lucky to score the flights for only $99.00 so I should be happy.
Ah yeah, console makes it a whole new ballgame unfortunately. I hope the Flights work out for ya man, for $99 definitely worth it imo
I went to 3 Best Buy’s and 1 frys electronics for flight hyperx. Def worth it
Pinoy Zoi how loud is it
u uploaded this on my b day
I was hoping you'd notice ;)
Did you notice alot improvement from HyperX Cloud II to Cloud flight ? ( Specially from sound point of view ) I'm considering buying the flight s
It was about even. Testing the flight S and arctis 7 2019 out now actually... I don't remember the flight much, but I like the Arctis 7 2019 better this go round if that helps
@@SpencerDean14 I did buy the Arctis pro wireless but that wasn't good to me , even though many people like it. I like lows and mids better than highs and Arctis has better highs. I had HyperX cloud 2 and it was decent but I want wireless so that's why I was thinking to get the Cloud flight. Thanks for the review those ☺️👍
Check out the wireless headset Sennheiser does. Logitech just released one that's $200 that's supposed to be good too (BadSeed Tech did a vid. I like him, v objective for what that's worth)
I just got the Arctis 7 and the mic sucks man it nearly picks up my voice. My friends online can't even hear me and I know that it is technically working because if I blow air directly into the mic it picks it up. On top of that, there is no DTSX 7.1 surround sound in the equalizer. Im going to return these and go with the Cloud Flights or just the Cloud Core's.
4:18 is that for true that is muted?
What phone did you use to record this vid! Its crystal clear!
Thanks man, I think you're the first person to compliment the video quality of this video haha I believe it was an iPhone 6s Plus
with the steelseries arctis 7 2019 edition they fixed how uncomfortable the ear cushions are
Yeah that's what I've heard. I'm glad they did! Nice to see a company actually listen to its customers
Not true, at least for me. I bought the 2019 edition two weeks ago, and they get uncomfortable as fk after about an hour. The cushions are so soft that the ears eventually touches the hard plastic on the inside. Trading them in for the cloud flight
pushing the mic in dose not mute it and you pointed to the xbox connect port and said it was a proprietary on the arctis. charge port is standard.
thank you dud
I got my arctic 7 yesterday. After the software showed me that I have to charge it I plugged it on my Samsung charger. After 1min the red light disappeared. I'm not sure if this is normal since I read that it should be red all time and change to green once it's full charged. Seems to be a general problem bc I saw other people on Amazon reviews having the same problem
Do you have a different charger to try? If not I'd return and exchange for a new one
You went with Sennheiser, but did you try out their GSP600?
I haven't. I've heard great things about them, but after I tried the GameOne's I really wanted an open back headset, so I ended up going with the GSP500
thanx man, i need bass.. i go for hyperx flight 👌
You earned a sub.
Sweeet. Thanks man! Doing a refresh review of these two soon
Spencer Steele im definitely gonna watch that. Are you gonna use the Arctic 7 2019 edition or just the normal arctis 7?
2019, and the Flight S. Should be out in about 2 weeks bc I'm in vacay this week
Spencer Steele okay bro thank you and I’m definitely gonna watch that straight away when you posted it. Have fun 🔥💪🏻
Thanks man! Audio and video quality will be much better too haha
I smiled a little when you said that you have a dog walking around
Haha gotta let people know!
You could buy different ear cups for the 7
of the 2 listed above: which one sounds the loudest? ... I need for my ps4 pro
I think the Hyper X, but idk if it works on ps4. Both are solid man!
What's better for ps4? tbh im kinda leaning to the flights but whats your opinion?.
I only tried on PC so I'm not sure. If I remember correctly only one of them was supported, so I'd check them out to verify they support ps4. I like the Flights a bit better overall tho
Can you plug the flights on an xbox contoñler and still be able to use the mic?
If I remember correctly, not on Xbox - not even wired. I only tested on PC though so that may have changed via software update over the past few months. For whatever reason, Xbox seems tricky with wireless
Nõ
The prices are about the same which one would you prefer. The arctis 7 2019 edition or the cloud flights?
For gaming Cloud Flight x man, i brought the arctics 7's and they really don't have the best audio for first person shooters, the hyper X is just so clear when it comes to knowing where people are
I liked the Flights, but I never tried the 2019 edition of the Arctis 7. I heard they addressed some of my complaints tho Sorry man, I know I'm not much help on this one
Spencer Steele Were the Cloud Flights ever uncomfortable when you would play for multiple hours and did the ear cups ever make your ears irritated?
@@idudsi Only over very long sessions, like several hours. Any closed back headsets are gonna have that issue though. Ears getting a bit hot after 4-5 hours
I loved my Cloud II though. Only got a new pair bc I broke them
Cloud Flight vs Corsair Virtuoso please!
I'll probably revisit and do a comparison between 2 or 3 really popular headsets since this vid is so old. Thanks for the request!
Here in Finland in europe cloud flights costs 160 euros and arctis 7 180 euros. Thats why i bought cloud flights
Nii vituttaa
The arctis 7's are cheaper here in Norway, about 26 euro actually
Only two things. Yo CAN ajust the headband of the artics 7. And for me, that I have a big head, is pretty comfortable. Also, you can turn up the basses in the app and get a god level in them.
Come on dude, the headband adjustment is negligible. It's just a trade off with the design, and the fit is a preference thing which I get. Would have liked more control but that design is relatively popular The sound is always gonna be subjective to an extent. Wasn't enough bass for me but I'm happy you're digging em man
@@SpencerDean14 I think you might be right with the headband. I get easily comfortable with it and I didnt test it too much, and the adjustment is very limited. But I find very good the fact that the band is suspended so it doesnt make pressure in my head. (If I wrote something wrong is because English is not my native lenguage, haha)
Haha no worries man. Yeah it's comfortable and stretchy enough, just can't adjust like a normal design. But I do like how there isn't a lot of pressure on my head... No design is perfect
Hyper X Flights are magnificent. I love it. The sound is incredibly balanced. I have about 30 feet of range as well but honestly that’s enough for me. I’m not even going to try the Steel Series set because I have a larger head and I heard it’s really uncomfortable for people with large noggins.
glad you dig em man, they're some great sounding cans for sure
hyperx has no surround sound , the only reason im not getting it
surround is shit, the sound quality gets much worse
I agree for the most part. Have you tried the GSX 1000 with some Sennheiser cans? Only surround that sounds good imo and it costs a pretty penny
@@GreasyKnight Arctis 7 also has no surround on ps4
Steelseries are the most comfortable headset
Not really They slip off if you have a small head
The 2019 edition must be different because the hand band on the arctis 7 is adjustable
Nice! That means they listened to feedback
When battery gets low on flight it beeps 2 times in ear actually
what if i connect my cloud 1's mic to flights?
I mean I guess that'd work? Not sure though... I wouldn't try to jerryrig it just for the mic personally tho
You can adjust the tightness of the goggle band on the arctic 7
On the 2019 you can, this video is 3 years old tho lol Just ordered the Arctis 7 2019 and the Cloud Flight S to do an updated comparison
There is a battery indicator on Flights but it's by sound. No light indicator of any sort.
Yup. Just doesn't cut it for me. It's like Windows when you say "shutdown" and it says "jk you need to update first" haha
you actually can adjust the steel series head band
