that range is good, it means you can go for a dump between rounds and still talk to your squad
lmao
very approve.
Yes
My dump room is literally inside my gaming room
I notice I lose signal if I stand up to have a piss. Signal doesn't drop when I'm sitting down though so I'm all good for pooping
I just realized how much you remind me of Chris Pratt 😂
Jackson Hayes same
The russian version tho :D
Thanos sent him to our world
SAME! LOL!
not even close to chris pratt lol
I love wireless headphones. I love making my discord channel hear me piss while having a conversation at the same time
There's a mic mute button for a reason :^)
Jec nah, never mute lmao
Luis you can still piss with wired too just bring your controller with you

4:47 Mic test
HyperX puts all their money in the sound and comfort
i dont believe this i have a hyper x and they are the worst when it comes to comfort their clamping force is too much and their ear pads are not thick enough but of course its personal opinion , :/
@@GenericMedusa99 what hyperx cloud do u have
Right like what? I’ve had the stingers alphas and now the flights amdna I loved every single ones comfort. I was using my Alphas all the time and I got the Arctis 7 from steelseries cause I wanted the wireless convenience but after 3 weeks I couldn’t stand it I sent it back and got this 2 months ago for 120. So much more comfortable and such better sound
Well... I would say they put more money in marketing.
I've literally never heard anyone say hyperx headsets were uncomfortable until seeing that comment. I don't know if you were trying to argue against them or what, but hyperx has consistently been at the top for most comfortable headsets in gaming. The sound has been amazing honestly my girl thought she was being awesome when she bought me a pair of Astro TRs I tried them cause I've heard they were the best of the best and at $300 they should be at the top. However they couldn't compete with my hyperx cores which is the cheaper version of the cloud, and they only cost 60 bucks lol. Needless to say we returned them and I got a pair of hyperx Alphas, a SSD for my Xbox and still had a extra $100 cash from the return lol
You Can Use it when is Charging! For the Battery look on the HyperX softweare!
You literally saved me from not wanting to buy this... lol
I was so confused! Why the fuck would it not allow you to use it?!! Imagine your phone did that. IT MAKES NO SENSE!
I just order these due to your comment, thank you very much kind sir.
@@DVDplayerz well some products dont, i have a pair of wireless headphones that act all cunty and wont let you use them while they charge
@Cum in belly button Have the headset for almost 2 years now, can confirm, it charges and you can use it at the same time. I was never woried about that, because, well.. It's dumb to think that. It is baically impossible to damage batteries this way in 2021 on consumer devices and it would be done on purpose if it did do any damage. It is cheaper and easier to do it properly.
I love your stuff. Those camera skills are top notch, and a great review as always. Thank you for your awesome content :)
Got a pair of those for around 3 years now. I absolutely love it. The mic quality isn't the best, but still satisfying enough for me. However, like Dimitri pointed out early in the video, the joints where the earcups rotate ended up breaking for me. I noticed they were getting slowly looser and more vulnerable over the years, and one finally broke yesterday. The headphones still work, but one earcup is dangling off its cable. Could be better but hey, I'm buying the same pair again, now that's it's cheaper too.
same thing literally just happened to me today, i've owned these bad boys for 3 years, today morning once i picked them up the joint literally just fell apart haha. Went to buy the Arctis Pro Wireless today for 300$, ended up hating how they felt, returned them and got another pair of these bad boys. HyperX is just way more comfortable, Steelseries' earpads are way too tight and i prefer the material the Flight's have.
Mine are making a beeping sound whenever I move the volume wheel idk how to fix it
"cheaper"? Damn that's a first for me!
Your content quality is outstanding !!
Woah! A two-person review! Good to see you Eber
Thankyou for your review. You have helped me decide which headphones I want!
I actually love the idea of wireless by usb connection. It's perfect since my PC doesn't have bluetooth support
How come everyone forgot about the Siberia 800? I get that it was very expensive earlier, but they go for around 100 bucks used now, and is a killer deal.
This is the best review I've seen on this. Awesome Job.
Thank you for the review 👍🏼! Very informative 👌🏼!
Man, thats is a fuc*ing good review, thanks for that!
I have these and I've been wearing them for around 7 hours straight (due to gross online school) and around 3 or 4 more hours after that. I never need to take them off due to discomfort, it's great.
one of the best channel i have seen for a long time now. keep it up
Thank you for the review, really helped me out!
I've had these for 2 years now, and they're the best headphones I've ever bought, definitely would buy again!
I'm looking to buy a gaming headset and im interested in these you think they're a good choice?
@@jawnonem yep, still have these, zero problems and sounds amazing, worth a buy
Hey star lord, im looking for a wireless headset for streaming, thanks for the review
great review as always....i really enjoyed these as well
Really love your Vids Leo. You helped me on my decision when ive done my research about buying new HS. It fits perfectly for my needs its purrfect. Thanks and stay awsome
As these videos go I almost never actually buy from them. I used your link so you could get your bonus from it and instantly purchased this as you walked several rooms away and were still able to use it. I have been using a $30 budget option for 3 years that has been great but everything you said here made a sale. Thank you so much for being such a great source of information and quality product review while not being a watered down garbage paid by the manufacturer company.
so how you like it?
its good
In my experience, i actually really like this headset. The directional sound is, in my personal opinion, is amazing and is better than the arctis 5 i had. Just wish it had a separate dial for chat audio.
Sebastian dela Cruz do you have any static problem in the audio or is this only happening to me?
Thanks for the review!
liked your review , hope you will do one on the astro a40 and a50
Could you make a comparison between all the wireless headsets? Maybe best wireless option for 2018 perhaps. theres so many similar options around the same price range (arctis 7, g533,void pro etc)
Walter Antonio Alba An I THOUGHT VOID PRO IS VERY BAD DURABILITY AND RELIABILITY???
It is
That is a great idea!
Did you by chance buy any of those headsets listed and could you tell me why you chose the one you did? Contemplating on whether I want to buy one.
6:30 that happens to me almost daily with my cloud2
what a great review, you guys make such quality videos you deserve at least 3 M subs
Excelent, very well made video! Thak you for such quality content!
This is exactly what I've been waiting for. A wireless headset from a trusted audio company. I love that it's driverless, I like having software for mice and keyboards but for headsets it's just unnecessary baggage. It should have Bluetooth for the price, but that's not a deal breaker
These do look amazing
Thank you for the solid review, you guys are awesome. Curious as to why you don't compare it to the Razer Wireless Man O' Wars headset?
I’ve watched this video several times now. Finally picked up the flights. Definitely the best for me so far. The sound quality, comfort, freedom makes them a top buy. They sound slightly better than the stingers I’ve been using(which sound good and for $50 sound amazing). These are easily better than the steelseries arctic 7. If you like the Arctis 7 you should look at plantronics 800. It’s very similar to the steelseries but has better battery, sound, comfort. My son uses mine(he’s a hardcore gamer) and I wanted to try the flights but had they not been amazing I would’ve returned em for another wireless set of 800s
These were 80 dollars today, definitely worth it at that price point. Edit: also hyperx released some basic software for the headset that will let you view the battery, and adjust the mic and headphone volume (unfortunately no EQ).
Right, got one while I could.
Can i change the mic to a different detachable mic from HyperX?
Yup. I was trying to decide between these and the Arctis 7s but went with these and ordered them today. Getting em in 3 days so I can't wait.
@@TerraTheWise same, Amazon prime ftw
@shiftyy I actually don’t know if you can use a different mic. I would assume not since the jack has a proprietary port shape unique to that specific detachable mic. But I don’t actually have a definite answer. It’s worth a try?
I've had these over the past week. I have always been happy with Hyper X's products. I love the sound of these, the build is good, the battery life is great although there is no way to check the battery life. Unfortunately for me, I could feel the drivers against my ears and it became an unpleasant experience. I heard people have had this issue with the alphas as well. Just a tip to someone buying these and suffer the same issue. You can use Brainwavz angled hybrid pads, that will take your ear away from the driver. You can also use more premium pads like ZMF oval pads, I have tested both and they work great for me. I also tried Shure 1540 pads (the most comfortable pads in known existence). They fit great, but the driver ramming ear problem was still there. I ended up cutting out some old cloud 2 pads out, cutting them in half length wise, trimming down the sides a cm or two, and sticking them under the Shure 1540 pads, basically adding a bit more distance from the driver to the ear. Voila, problem fixed. Why go through all this trouble? The headphones themselves great, the battery life is great, and are now as comfortable as a cloud. The freedom is liberating. I feel like this is now the ultimate wireless headset. A perfect compliment to my Aeon Flow Opens that will be used for casual listening and gaming. That being said, I really think HyperX needs to address this. They need to have thicker pads, that's it, and make them memory foam god dammit. If you don't have the driver ramming ear problem, do yourself a favor and throw some Shure 1540 pads on them for ultimate comfort. EDIT** The range on these for me are not great, they cut out 15 feet away once I turn a corner and walk by appliances. I think the range is good on these if they are unobstructed by certain things.
Danger Don mind if I ask, does it connect to PS/Xbox via wireless?
Not sure my friend, I haven't tested that and my xbox is being difficult at the moment
the issue with the drivers against your ear, is that with the flight or any hyperx headset in general?
ShadowEyes id say flight, cloud 2, alpha, and the original cloud the cloud revolver is great but I just love the freedom of wireless
download hyperx ngenuity software u can see the battery life there
Just bought steel series Siberia 800s earlier this week... Watching this review wirelessly with em. For only $20 more I think the dac and swappable batteries was well worth it. Sound quality is slightly cleaner than my hyperx clouds too, so if these are same I'm glad.
2 people in my discord use these and the mic sounds tons better than they do in this video so yeah I'm picking up a pair since I'm in the market for a headset
their video for the cloud alpha they did a mic test and it sounded way worse than they actually sound as well. I have the cloud alpha and ive heard my own voice with the mic and it sounds way better than what their test sounded like. i have no idea what they're doing.
6:22 I thought that was someone else 😂😂😂
I have this one for 2 weeks now and the sound is really great, I don’t like to have to turn off led each time I power it. Battery life is insane too.
Great review. I bought it before i watch ur vid i think im quite happy with my purchase
Yes you can use the headset while they're charging and checking battery status is easy to check with downloading software (HyperX NGenuity) :)
Is it really possible? That's just what is stopping me to buy it. Thank you for your help!
@@davi.constante Yeah, It's fully working while charging! Will never replace the headset, not untill it's broken/dead!
11:06 That sound...
Have you done a video on headset stands? I always want to know which ones you like.
I would really like a way to check the battery. Happy their first attempt is positive.
Wow very impressive. That's the first time, I saw a headset could travel far from the wifi device. From Wall through wall. Good job HyperX. But yeah maybe a couple of steel could make it more qulified for the Price. Or maybe the next generation, the hyperx flight II. But anyway, Its an awesome for the new inovation.
Nah, it would be cheap china steel anyways. At least it weight less with plastic.
Does the HyperX Cloud Flight feel the same as the HyperX Cloud II ?
Fell in love when a friend got a pair, and couldn't resist. Any way I use them for my needs - all satisfied. Gaming, movies, VoIP calls - no complaints. Great quality overall for the price range, with great battery life (led off), never really got paranoid about how much juice is left, it gets boring at times waiting for those three beeps and then some. Get them on sale then buy a headphone stand, and you're all set. Not really wireless on the move (phone, tablet - all 3.5mm jack) but I don't use them for that.
Hi Dimitri, nice videos! Do you recommend this Cloud Flight's over Arctis 7's? I am a PS4 user btw.
With more and more games utilizing Dolby Atmos, virtual surround is just unnecessary. Cause of that, I appreciate the price drop that comes from a headset not implementing virtual surround.
Games are 3d content audio is rendered in 3d so dolby atmos, 7.1, virtual soprround sound are all totally useless when using headphones, those certifications are only useful when using speakers
Yep, I use Dolby Atmos for Headphones and don't want anything else than stereo headphones.
You can use Dolby Atmos with these headphones?
Hyperx cloud flight vs logitech g 533. Which is better
Great review as always. I'm in the market for a new headset but because this won't do wireless to my smartphone then it's not in the running. Maybe I want too much from a pair of wireless headphones. Again a great review. and a BIG thumbs up.
Good review Dimitri, excellent coverage. Any chance you could shed some light on how the audio quality compares to the Cloud II? Just disappointed that this isn't well suited for use with the phone..Cheers..
Can we get some refreshed gaming chair reviews/comparisons/tips? In the market for one and don't know what to get.
MrAlexlovesmuse get an akracing premium, bought one two weeks ago and its amazing
Mustache Meister thanks man. which one did you get? (i.e. could you link it :) )
I have a metal folding chair. Tbh I don't like gaming chairs at all and the styling off racing buckets makes no sense considering bucket seats are not primarily meant for comfort. Sure they aren't "real" bucket seats and are adapted to comfort but it seems like a 2 steps forward 1 step back kind of thing instead of just getting a mesh office chair or something...
dogboy0912 thats what i thought aswell, so i bought an office chair but it wasn’t for me. I went to a store and got to sit in one and compared to the usual ones this one was actually comfortable. You just have to find the one you like
If you want comfort get a Herman Miller Aeron
I'd like a cloth earcup version as pleather can get a bit sweaty
and they wear off over time
Cloth bothers my skin
4 years of playing with them and they never once broke, never once had an issue, always had great quality, and now that the ear cups are fading after extensive use, i’m using the cloud s.
Holding for the GSP 600 review
I think all wireless headset manufacturers need to improve their wireless bandwidth so the mic audio aren't compressed into a muffled mess. The mics on those wireless are basically the same on all brands.
why do companies think its OK to have anything less than stellar mic AND speaker quality on a premium gaming headset? "Gaming" isn't an excuse to cut corners.
I'm thinking wireless mics are inherently bad and nobody's found a way to improve it at the price point. Tbh I think a lot of people would like a cheap desk mic (like the bm-700) with their wireless headphones for desk top gaming. It has its draw backs but the user is cable free and gets superior mic quality.
dogboy0912 or maybe they need to talk to some phone companies or a reputable company whose mics wireless mics, like Shure.
Just get a real mic. Problem solved.
Not sure what you want. You can't get studio quality in such a tiny microphone. Besides, it's for gaming, not for KZhead garbage. You're just being cheap if you are.
@@shiftshaper1 No. I want to spend $300 if they'd sell it. There are NO wireless headsets with good mics. My wired headsets have great mics, so NO you do not need a large microphone to get good input. I've tested this extensively. They are cutting corners, they need to offer a pro option with a good mic, IDC if it's double the price.
i just bought them. Very pleased!
Thx for the review i was not sure if i would go with hte G533, Void, Cloud Flight or Asus wireless headphones now im sure
Hey, I really like your reviews. But you never compared a gaming headset to standard non-gaming headphones. Would love to see that! (e.g. AKG K550 MKII + external Mic vs Cloud Alpha)
MrBhoppy there would be no point, as it is clearly defined by the name. And if you want to go into more detail, a gaming headset will usually have bigger drivers. And multiple speakers in each ear cup to support surround sound. A regular stereo headset is 99% of the time going to be 2.1 or 5.1 stereo. Usually with specific boosts. Like bass boost.
OMGLookItsGavo there is no point in having multiple drivers because you only have 2 ears "Gaming" gear is most of the time just normal gear but with gamer design, more of the money will be dedicated to ads instead of research and you can find the same quality for 20€ less somewhere else
OMGLookItsGavo you don't get 2.1 or 5.1 on a headphone. There's no subwoofer, so it's a 2.0. There are some 5.0/5.2 headsets but they're all terrible. Good headphones have good enough drivers to make it sound like there are more than 2 channels.
I never understand the stupidity in this statement. I most definitely can hear different sound directions and placements using my "stereo" ears. This is why 5.1, Dobly Atmos, DTS, etc exist using more then 2 speakers. Guess I should just box up my 9 speaker setup. Yes, I can hear the difference in multi-speaker headphones vs stereo simulated. Something must be broken with your ears.
YaKillaCJ on headphones only ond ear gets the sound of one driver. On speakers both ears get the sound of both drivers.
Its actually 89$ on Amazon!! Im gonna steal em! 🤘
78$ on google store with code MAYSAVE19
Hey Dimitri, love your videos. I play a lot of FPS and I'm looking for a gaming headset with my most important feature being sound performance. What are your thoughts on the turtle beach elite atlas pro vs the Hyperx Cloud Flight....besides one being wireless.
I love this headset, but I just wish it was it was overear instead of on ear, and had sidetone control via software.
hows the bass? i like bass because i enjoy feeling gunshots and explosions EDIT: plus how loud are they
Hey, the bass is great, truly awesome when firing. they get plenty loud, I normally use 50% when gaming! best gaming headset I have tried! :D
How does this compare to the SteelSeries Arctis 7 ? And which has the better sound quality?
He does a review on that one, including a demo of the mic sound.
I would love to see you guys try out the Plantronics Rig 800LX
Waiting on HyperX to release an open back pair of these
How does nobody ever mention the white noise coming from this thing?! I bought one and I'm totally disappointed by how much noise there is when you have them on.
did you check you don't have other signals at the same frequency going on?
I think that headsets don't need a virtual 7.1 mode. The audio engines of good games are starting to become great. And for music: If you listen to music in virtual 7.1 it should only be because the producer wanted it that way and mastered his music accordingly.
ShadowZpeak i dont think they take 7.1 into account either when they make the engines...i think sticking to stereo as a standard pretty much makes the experience all around better
Humans actually have very poor directional sound sense per ear (in total we basically have left, right, very weak forward and back, and that's it). It's the sync of visual, audio, and head rotation that creates the ability to pinpoint a sound. You need a large sound stage for true surround, and the couple of cm and multiple drivers within a headphone can't do it, but if stereo syncs and shifts ear to ear as you move in a game, it will properly convey surround. That's why Dolby Atmos games sounds just as good with stereo. It's very acute in how direction interacts with sound as you rotate.
dogboy0912 and see i always figured this was the case, after all, our ear holes are on either side of our head and are essentially pointed “left and right”
Joshua South and the rest is interpretation of all sorts of signals by the brain
not to mention, the sound stage determines how accurate a sounds "location" has to be
thanks for the review
Great video Dimitri!
Игровые наушники HyperX, на удивление, отлично себя зарекомендовали в вопросе качества звучания, одинаково хорошо справляясь как с играми, так и музыкой абсолютно разных стилей. И здорово, что в линейке появилась беспроводная модель. Однако, с визуальной стороны Cloud Flight заметно уступают Cloud 2 и особенно Cloud Alpha, опускаясь ближе к бюджетной Stinger, из-за чего заявленная стоимость воспринимается неоправданной.
you definitely CAN use them whilst charging, I am doing so right now :)
They are not charging, they are just plugged
@@yogi546 Nope, they are actually charging. You can definitely charge them while playing by plugging them into your computer with the micro-usb.
does the mic work while the headset is wired to a pc using it's cable?
How do you charge it
@@kevinvillalobos2475 on the bottom of the left ear there is a port for charging if you have a ps4 whatever you use to charge your dualshock 4 you can use for the head set
Nice review bro! Nice jacket too!
That awesome badass intro
Why is a headset with a decent mic so hard on anything other than the Sennheiser Game One? For $159 it absolutely should sound better than this.
Kaby dealbreaker for me :(
Kaby while I agree Flight have many down sides, Game One is wired...
Lol its for gaming dont expect studio quality when you dont need it. Its basically so your friends can hear you the rest of the money goes into comfort looks audio and ofc WIRELESS
Wireless is a huge factor in the audio quality of the mic on these type of headsets. There is compression going on and other factors to consider.
Ive listened to these mics on stream and yeah they sound bad but no big deal they are not going to be used for asmr or some shit. Its bad but not THAT bad people hate on it too much
Re: Wireless mic; good enough for gaming + talking to squads, but not especially nice sounding. Will serve for games, won't be good for recording audio for anything else
Nice review as always! I just wonder how this is the "FLIGHT" edition and does not support bluethooth connectivity for us daily commuters or travelers.
It would be cool if you have the LEDs on one of the "H's" should turn off if you need to recharge it or be half lit. If they are off the headphones should automatically lower the volume on the headphones. It's subtle but it would let you know and won't interrupt what you are listening to.
YES
Coolmark sick vids 👍🏻
You can use them while charging.
@Garuda GG mine just disconnects when i use the wire
You can't.
buy another wire my bro bought me another wire cause it was pissing me off just check on ebay or some shit
I use them while charging, no problem! :)
Yes you can use them while charging plus you can monitor battery life through a software provided by hyperx
How is the volume compared to the wired versions (running with a Cloud II right now)? I love the wireless option, but that often comes with a major drop in max volume.
This is absolutely amazing. The microphone quality isn’t that great but it is good and acceptable. Good for communication. Thanks a lot for this review.
What’s bad about the mic? I mainly bought these to talk to my friends in cs go
Although its a pretty good wireless pair, I prefer my wired HyperX Clouds. BUT THE MICROPHONE :(
HyperX Cloud Fight vs Steelseries Arctis 7?
Steelseries Arctis 7 for sure, much more comfort and better mic. In my opinion also looks better.
Comfort and looks are subjective. Lmao
arctis 7 = very flat sound
J Himmelbleu I'm trying to decide right now, what's holding me back from the arctis 7 is the weight and pressure on your head, also the lack of control on its size.
Arctis are awful for smaller heads
Hello Dimitri. Thanks for the review, great as always! :) I'm looking a gaming headseat to be used on a PC in FPS games (BF1, etc.). I've seen al lot of reviews and I'm focused in the HyperX Cloud Flight and HyperX Revolver S. Wireless feature is preferable but not mandary as I prefer to have a better sound quality. In your opinon which of them would you prefer in terms of sound and surround quality? Do you advise any other in the same budget range? Thanks in advance!
AFernande76 I’m very late, but you don’t want surround sound for FPS games. Then you can’t target enemies and gunshots, etc.
I just tested these and would recommend the Corsair Void Pros over the Cloud Flights. The build quality, EQ customization and deeper base make them more worth the money at $99. Much better for FPS games like PUBG.
2 things I'd like to see fixed. 1) Is the lack of mic when using it wired. that means I can't play mobile games with friends. I'm still using the apple earbud. :( 2) Is the lack of blue tooth. It would be nice to just connect to things easier (even with a loss of quality), as an option.

Yep😉
@The Caring Adolf Hitler yup
@@ryanhills2088 Isn't he getting paid to use the Mix now? :)
@@Tokena14 nah

I need a scroll wheel for game/chat volume, always a deal breaker for me especially w wireless. Glad I got the arctis 7
it would be nice if you also mention the sound isolation of all the headsets you review.
Wow, double beep, awesome.
Can confirm these headsets have good volume, put them on max audio and played MW on high boost audio setting and I went into a war match, middle of the game I notice blood coming out of left ear, sad thing is it actually happened
just came to say, I bought them right after this review and they are still working great till this day, sound and mic quality have not changed, sound staging is great on shooter games like CS Go. The battery life is stil excellent. The only thing is that I had to replace the ear cups and the headband cushin as they wore off with time because of the leather material. Otherwise these are still an AWESOME buy even in 2023.
I just got my hands on a pair of Sennheiser RS220 for my wireless headphones, combined with a cheap condesor mic it has send my G4ME one's to the sidelines. Sure a bit more pricy even though the RS220 where a really good second hand deal, but with the amount of compromises listed here I do wonder why some one would go with these.
Is getting Superlux 668B+velour replacement pads+ decent desktop mic be cheaper and still be better than these gaming headsets available? Edit: I'm interested in it mostly for open back's sound stage, it really helps in game bonus the fact that choosing everything else like the mic for flexibility and upgradeability. I didn't mean to offend anyone interested or have the Cloud Flight or any gaming headset in particular, I'm just on a budget and would like to get the best bang for my student level bucks.
You sound like a rather elitist person. If you're willing to go to the effort (and have those headphones available wherever you live), then sure. Go for it. You know that these are wireless right? And are targeting a gaming audience, not an audiophile one? You people annoy me.
Why? He didn't say anything disparaging like calling you a peasant or something did he?- he just gave his opinion. And you are calling him elitist for recommending a sub 70$ setup(approx) but offering better quality and choice of picking the parts without belittling anyone. You are just being offended for the sake of being offended. Oh and the wireless issue can be corrected with a pair of bluetooth 4.1 wireless dongles.
Amit T he starts the statement with a sort of unsure tone, "is it me or", but then moves on to basically saying that anyone who buys this headset is wasting their money. That annoys me, because this review explains why you should buy these. It seems to me like OP didn't watch the review, and spams this sort of comment on any "gaming headset" related video they see. That's the part that bugged me. Edit: I'm not being offended simply for the sake of being offended, I'm being offended on behalf of the people that put effort into these videos and then have people like this go to their comment section.
But if you are speaking on behalf of the video being slighted then you have to show that the op was chastising it , which he didn't he just showed a better alternative to the product in question.Being cross over him phrasing the question with "is it me or" isnt reason/evidence enough. And I dont think you would disagree that most if not all sub 100$ gaming headsets have the pathological issue of being cheap in execution and gaudy in presentation. I dont see pointing that out being irksome. It feels much akin to a person preferring a console over a PC, seeing that you are in a tech channel commenting I believe you know how to build one and the virtues of owning one, and I as the OP and many others believe the gaming headset market and marketing to be overhyped and consistently underdeliver settling for gimmicks and RGB to cover their shortcomings - he is just posting that there is a better alternative if one is willing to go through the trouble.
That's fair, except for your first point, "if you are speaking on behalf of the video being slighted then you have to show that the op was chastising it , which he didn't". My whole issue was that op didn't even watch the video, let alone make a valid point about any of the content in it. I understand your point about the PC > console thing, but this seems very much like going to *any* console video and doing a stock-standard, "I don't know about you, but PCs are actually much better value for money than any console you could buy..." sort of comment.
