Thank you for helping me decide on the NEW G PRO (not the 'X' model) - most people seem to be unaware of the new non-X model as if there's some effort to discourage people to choose that over the more well known and more expensive X model.
@@kristis3755 It's been over a year since I moved on from the Logitech G Pro headset. The first one I got, I lost the right speaker after a few months and so I contacted warranty and they sent me a replacement. After a few months, the replacement unit also began to have problems with the right speaker. I'm never buying Logitech gaming headsets again, fuck them.
I've had 0 issues with the G Pro X mic sounding bad, with a little tweaking it sounds better(by my friends admissions that thought I upgraded from my RΓΈde podcaster) it also has, by miles and miles the best noise cancellation of any microphone I've tested/modmics/rΓΈde/blue and so forth, I can literally not get it to pick up noise other than my voice no matter what I do, no matter how loud it is.
I am totally satisfied with the g pro x. Have you even bothered loocking at the settings? You can get awesome audio quality from even the normal presets and as a stage sound engineer by training I have gotten impressive results with the tools.
@@vali2624 that's a catch 22 question. Depending on voice type you want different things. If none of the presets sound good to you, try going with a fresh default setting and tweak the numbers slowly.
@@clientaccount7166 I switched to a Corsair Virtuoso RGB SE because it is wireless and has microphone quality matching, if not exceeding the G Pro. I do however still use the G Pro for work calls, as it has superior ambient noise shielding (both are close backed, but the G Pro dampens more) and I don't move that much at work.
Hi Dmitry! Appreciate your effort on the videos. I have a question for you. One thing you never mention is connectivity: PC/Playstation/Xbox. Based on your videos, I'm looking for an all-around wireless headset to connect to Pc, Ps AND Xbox. I'm choosing between Logitech G Pro X, Corsair Virtuoso, Hyperx Cloud Flight and Arctis 7 or Pro. What would you suggest? The main criteria is connection to all of the platforms, and the stability of the signal with no sound interruptions and hiccups. It would also be great to see a 2020 compilation of yours based on universal connectivity, as many people would be switching camps for PS/Xbox but also looking for a headset to connect to both of them and also PC.
Hello. It was a nice review. Keep up the good work. I have a question for you. Have you tried the headsets from Steelseries? If you have, which one is better: Arctis 1 or this? I wouldn't go further on Arctis models, because both g4 te and arctis 1 falls in the same price range. Thank you.
Love your headphones review as reflect a proper user experience, microphone included. I'd love to hear Dmitry's opinion about the new Creative Sxfi Theater! Thanks for the great video.
@HardwareCanucks if you had to choose between the Logitech G Pro or the Fnatic React which would it be? I predominantly play FPS and MOBA games. love the videos man thanks for the awesome content
I saw this video and just thought " damn I missed top cases for 2019" . Looked at the latest videos then came straight to the comments and saw someone else beat me to it. Come on... I still have the R6 on my list just because of this channel.
Bought the Fanatics React headset, would recommend. Good sound quality. Good Mic quality and very comfortable. The extension wire is a bit long, which can be annoying but it can help sometimes.
Since the recommendation seems to be get a regular pair of headphones and a seperate mic and this seems to be a very popular product this year i guess because how many people are streaming I would love to see a desk mic roundup as well. I know you can't go wrong with a blue mic but there seems to be a LOT of new competition in this spece from razer and cooler master and a few others!
@bratuul I completely agree haha. They're so light, and the clamping force is just right, i can wear them for hours no problem. And they vent the heat so no hot ears
they were ok at first, they grew ALOT on me love em now. Had a shitty $200 razer headset before, I think the quality shock was so immense I couldn't process it at first.
I got the cooler master mh752, and I dont regret it. It has the best mic and you can barely feel the headset on you and the mic is removable so you can use it as a pair of headphones in the public. Also its comfortable with glasses on.
price point i think would be the main issue. they are the most expensive of all... unfortunately they are also my favorite but for a difference of 150 β¬ I would probably go to the corsair hs70 wireless SE
I had them, loved the swapable battery feature and they were comfortable, even more with the leather cushions BUT i compared them to the virtuoso se and tested it with 2 friends. Short answer is: the steelseries sound bad, I mean they dont sound like shit but they have no punch they lack some depth and in comparsion with other headsets they arent worth their price. The main problem I an dmany others have with wireless headsets is the low static noise you get, not everyone hears it for example my gf but I and my friend hear it ever so slightly especially if you listen to music on low sound settings or while ideling on the desktop. The virtuoso se is still really really good and the mic sounds really nice in discord, its better than the non se version trust me. If you look for wireless go for them and if not go for the g pro x YES the x because you will hear the difference with blue voice, sounds incredible, better than most stand mics in fact, my friend got it and for 99 euros its really good and comfortable, idk what dimitri does but he almost lways screws up his mic comparsions.. just watch some other reviews and you will see
@@Mouzinho081 I do not play fps much, but high frequencies are a bit lowered i think, i increased them and sound became crystal clear as i can judge on my comparison in music,
@@Mouzinho081 also, i can't say which headset is better because I've never tried fnatic one, but directions of hearable sounds/footsteps are pretty understandable
@HardwareCanucks you should review the Cosair HS70 PRO or the Cosair HS70 SE From what I've seen these are pretty good headsets and I just want opinion on them, Thanks!
Love how he says the logitech mic is bad but he doesn't even turn in the blue software, that's the basic default mic without the blue. Good fair review mate ππ€£
bratuul for FPS positional sound Astroβs are one of the best in the industry for their 7.1 surround drivers. Itβs why theyβre used so much in esports. The steel series arctic 9 has Bluetooth in addition for the most versatile headset for those who can use both. I wouldnβt casually pass checking these out if shopping.
@@gryphon123456 they are used in esports because of sponsors, they are terrible fps games because they arent clear at all, they are the beats of the gaming world.
bratuul I switched to astros a few generations ago and Iβm not sponsored. I tried a few and they could sound βokβ but the clarity and positioning of Astroβs were excellent. Loved them and using them ever since. Highly recommended. Iβm open to others but I can tell you first hand the A50s are top 5 for sure.
@@gryphon123456 top 5 maybe in the xbox 360 era, now they are useless and are a complete waste of money, their wireless headphones are much worse than other options, and their wired variants arent even top 15.
One thing I found important to mention with the virtuoso is that it has slipstream. Which allows low latency and multiple devices attached to a single dongle. I have my mouse, keyboard and headphones wirelessly attached to a single dongle :)
ΠΠΌΠΈΡΡΠΈΠΉ, ΠΉΠΎ. What software or audio card did you use with MHC-751? I can't get same quality of sound like you. Pleeeease, can you give an advice.
xray thor (cloth, speed, good speed with the stopping power gsr series (cloth, control, stitched edges) artisan (lots varying in speed) glide 38/amp500 (hybrid with good stopping power and speed) thats all that I own
Is the hs70 any good? It looks so sick and would be fire to my black and white setup. Once had the hs50 and thought they were really good and comfy! Are they still so good?
Only "gaming" headset worth buying out of all those is the coolermaster mh751/2 just because it really isnt a gaming headset and punches 10x above its price. Great sound, best comfort, best mic, cheap price.
@Mach why? I'm actually looking for a wireless headset in 130$-ish range and arctics 7 seem quite nice - if they're not please tell me why and what would be better then
@@Metamine0, they seem nice BUT I want go wireless - currently I have a 10 years (or more) old Pioneer SE-M390 and (ignoring all wear) the most annoying thing is the cable.
Kanapka Z Pasztetem Ah, I see. Tbh, the Arctis 5 that my friend has were comfortable AF. So the 7 is probably even more. A solid alternative would be the Corsair HS70
Should I get the Massdrop PC37X / Philips SHP5900 (2020) ? Having troubles choosing between the two. I have a slightly smaller head, so the Philips pair may be too big for me. Also, which one has better bass and build quality?
Headphones severely disappointed me this year. π I thought the Corsair virtuoso would be the best, but when trying it on, it was so unbelievably uncomfortable it blew my mind. It felt like a $10 pair from Walgreens. If it was shaped like the Logitech Pro it would be the best headset ever. No exaggeration.
Iβve given up on wireless headsets. I have spent too much on them for them to be as buggy as they all are. I am now on the search for good wired ones. Great timing for this video except that it doesnβt fill me with a lot of confidence in the current crop of wired headsets either.
I've had my fill of wireless headsets, from Logitech, Steelseries, Tritton, Turtle Beach...and not the cheap models either. I finally settled on a HIFIMAN HE-4XX, ModMic, and a Schiit stack (Magni and Modi), and I've never looked back. Yes, the whole setup is more costly than these headsets but you never have to worry about drivers, or wireless dropout, or batteries...it's literally all just plug-and-play
@@HardwareCanucks where? only in physical retailers/ones that only ship to north america? i live in Israel so physical retailers are not a good option since everything is very expensive here, so if there's any international shipping retailer that sells the headset for $50-$60 i'd love to know.
what would you pick for pc gaming mainly play games for hunting footsteps and advantages of where people are at like tarkov. looking at g pro x or turtle beach elite atlas aero
If you didn't care about the price, which of these would you choose: HyperX cloud alpha, Logitech G Pro X, Fnatic React, Cooler Master MH751, Corsair HS70. I can't make up my mind, I see very good opinions from all of them and bad things too.
Covalite I was about to choose the Game One but then I read that they come with Open-back design. Game Zero has the Closed-back design, but they arenβt as good as the Game One in some aspects :/ Decided to get the GSP 300 because of the closed-back design and bc of the blue accents (iβm tired of the black and red colors for anything that is gamer ish). I hope that the sound quality between the Game series and the GSP arenβt as day and night though! Thanks for the reply!
Vunnie wow, didnt expect this at all. Iβve been reading that theyβre really comfy but never that they put pressure on your head! Thatβs really a downside :(
@@aceemperorgaming7078 yeah they're really good, been using them for like 6-7 months now and no wear since the build quality is good and they're still the best sounding headset I've used. If you dont need the microphone the g pro are the same, x version just has a better mic :)
@@Crunken Hey, I'm a bit late. I am thinking about upgrading from my razer blackshark v2 to g pro x. Looking for someone who have been using them for a while. How are they so far? I expect a good sound quality overall. Do they sound good on phone music/gaming? Thanks
I just made the switch from a Phillips SHP9500 w/ blue yeti, to the Logitech G Pro X w/ Blue yeti. Loved the Phillips but they were too open for Cod, difficult to really dial in where people were.
You never reviewed Cloud Alpha S. or at least compare it to the regular Cloud Alpha? I would love your review about that dongle and how it breaks the mic usage if you don't use it
Any headset that doesnt just press my hair in my head in the middle of my hairstyle and just have a gap there that ruins it? Answer:No, so they all suck
Does i pick the SHP9500 with a boompro rather than a MH752 ? which one gets the better audio and does the beyerdynamics DT990 is better than the SHP9500 ? Thanks
So I have the Sennheiser GSP 300 which are starting to age now and I want to upgrade. Where do I go considering I don't like the look of any of these... was thinking the Game One or PC37X but I'd have to chase up another adaptor for that considering I'd sell my GSP300 with the one it has. I really like the Game One design, that classic Sennheiser design before the GSP range but I am unsure of the quality and value. Also I'm looking specifically for Wired for Xbox One.
Heyheyhey! I accept all criticism about the awful G935 aside from the macro buttons. They are programmable and extremely useful. I would even go so far and say it does not have enough buttons, because with my G933 I walk around everywhere in my house and have full connection to the PC and can adjust several settings without even needing any input devices aside from the headset itself.
I remember in your review of the Corsair Virtuoso headset that the microphone on the non-SE was slightly better. With that in mind, which one of the two would you recommend?
I really like hyperx, but many of their recent stuff hasn't been innovative in the gaming community. Some of their headsets are also overpriced (cloud revolver s, cloud mix)
@@atomic8681 they killed the game with the cloud lineup and sort of fell off after that basically. I really hope they come out with a cloud flight 2 that is what the original should have been cause that thing is lacking also.
@@truthtimetv4575 that's true. Though I think you mean cloud I and II, all their headphones start with cloud. I own a cloud flight and its the most disappointing pair of headphones I've ever bought. They really need to come up with better stuff.
@@atomic8681 yep thats exactly what i meant. I would agree the cloud flight cook my ears, shallow ear cups, cheap feel, mic sucks really bad, the features just arent there. The only redeeming factor is battery life and when you custom EQ them via equalizer apo / peace eq they can really perform well. Otherwise even the stinger wireless i feel is better put together
Why are astros never on here? They have amazing mics and good sound quality and are extremely comfortable. Plus the mix amp is so convenient to mix between game and voice chat.
SomeBlackDude I mean I love them, so does everyone else I know that uses them. Iβll gladly pay an extra $50 for the convenience they bring. They are easily $200 headphones when with the mixamp compared to other headphones.
YaBoiLogan XD Explain please. I have tried Sennhiesers, Logitechβs, steel series, and Astros. Astros are a great headset and most importantly have an amazing mic
Astros sound like shit, kinda literally, like you covered a speaker in shit, not clear. Mic isnt impressive at all and is terrible compared to the competition, sennheiser mics shit on it. They are the beats of the gaming headsets, same with razer. Want a headset for under 100 dollars? Get the gsp 300 or hyper x clouds. Actually of you want a "gaming" headset, get one made by sennheiser.

I've had 0 issues with the G Pro X mic sounding bad, with a little tweaking it sounds better(by my friends admissions that thought I upgraded from my RΓΈde podcaster) it also has, by miles and miles the best noise cancellation of any microphone I've tested/modmics/rΓΈde/blue and so forth, I can literally not get it to pick up noise other than my voice no matter what I do, no matter how loud it is.
I am totally satisfied with the g pro x. Have you even bothered loocking at the settings? You can get awesome audio quality from even the normal presets and as a stage sound engineer by training I have gotten impressive results with the tools.
Can you share a decent preset for the mic / sound ?
@@vali2624 that's a catch 22 question. Depending on voice type you want different things. If none of the presets sound good to you, try going with a fresh default setting and tweak the numbers slowly.
Did your headset break yet? Logitech reviews all say they break easily. How is it now? Or if you switched already, what made you do it?
@@clientaccount7166 I switched to a Corsair Virtuoso RGB SE because it is wireless and has microphone quality matching, if not exceeding the G Pro. I do however still use the G Pro for work calls, as it has superior ambient noise shielding (both are close backed, but the G Pro dampens more) and I don't move that much at work.
Hi Dmitry!
Appreciate your effort on the videos. I have a question for you. One thing you never mention is connectivity: PC/Playstation/Xbox.
Based on your videos, I'm looking for an all-around wireless headset to connect to Pc, Ps AND Xbox. I'm choosing between Logitech G Pro X, Corsair Virtuoso, Hyperx Cloud Flight and Arctis 7 or Pro. What would you suggest? The main criteria is connection to all of the platforms, and the stability of the signal with no sound interruptions and hiccups.
It would also be great to see a 2020 compilation of yours based on universal connectivity, as many people would be switching camps for PS/Xbox but also looking for a headset to connect to both of them and also PC.
Dimitri, to when the video of "Best PC cases of 2019!"? π
Nobody cares about PC cases

Hello. It was a nice review. Keep up the good work.
I have a question for you. Have you tried the headsets from Steelseries? If you have, which one is better: Arctis 1 or this? I wouldn't go further on Arctis models, because both g4 te and arctis 1 falls in the same price range. Thank you.
What you say about Logitech G Pro X is not true - the Blue Voice is fantastic and you missed the 7.1 / Stereo difference
Great video, very helpful as I have been looking for a good value gaming headset, best videos I have seen so far in terms of actually helping me.
wheres the case of the year awards for 2019?
Love your headphones review as reflect a proper user experience, microphone included. I'd love to hear Dmitry's opinion about the new Creative Sxfi Theater! Thanks for the great video.
Now best gaming toasters of 2019.
Not what razer made a toaster, I can bathe in 120fps

@HardwareCanucks if you had to choose between the Logitech G Pro or the Fnatic React which would it be? I predominantly play FPS and MOBA games. love the videos man thanks for the awesome content
Best pc cases for 2019?
yes!
Silent, airflow, watercooling, small, and big.
Iknr? He missed the tradition every dec 28th
FBI are about to launch a massive case surrounding the missing "Best PC Cases of 2019" video file.
I saw this video and just thought " damn I missed top cases for 2019" . Looked at the latest videos then came straight to the comments and saw someone else beat me to it. Come on... I still have the R6 on my list just because of this channel.
Dmitri,please review Beyerdynamic MMX 300 GenII.They are consdired THE BEST gaming headset you can buy.Thanks and happy new year!
I'm surprised they didn't nominate steel serries wireless headphone.
I got some Arctis 3, they are fantastic for the price
Bought the Fanatics React headset, would recommend. Good sound quality. Good Mic quality and very comfortable. The extension wire is a bit long, which can be annoying but it can help sometimes.
NxMaGiiCz does it connect to Xbox
@@ryder8378 Yeah it has a 3.5mm jack which plugs into the controller.
For me, I do like my Arctis PRO Wireless
Since the recommendation seems to be get a regular pair of headphones and a seperate mic and this seems to be a very popular product this year i guess because how many people are streaming I would love to see a desk mic roundup as well. I know you can't go wrong with a blue mic but there seems to be a LOT of new competition in this spece from razer and cooler master and a few others!
I still love my Sennheiser Game One headset, best pair Iβve ever owned π
@bratuul I completely agree haha. They're so light, and the clamping force is just right, i can wear them for hours no problem. And they vent the heat so no hot ears
they were ok at first, they grew ALOT on me love em now. Had a shitty $200 razer headset before, I think the quality shock was so immense I couldn't process it at first.
Ya i absolutky adore my game zero should i do a meme reveiw??? Also i suck at typing
Game one's are amazing, had mine for 3 years now and the mic lift to mute has broken ):
Same here but i feel like they arenβt that good for cod maybe cause its open back idk
I got the cooler master mh752, and I dont regret it. It has the best mic and you can barely feel the headset on you and the mic is removable so you can use it as a pair of headphones in the public. Also its comfortable with glasses on.
odd to not see the steel series arctis pro wireless as they're almost 0 compromise
price point i think would be the main issue. they are the most expensive of all... unfortunately they are also my favorite but for a difference of 150 β¬ I would probably go to the corsair hs70 wireless SE
I had them, loved the swapable battery feature and they were comfortable, even more with the leather cushions BUT i compared them to the virtuoso se and tested it with 2 friends. Short answer is: the steelseries sound bad, I mean they dont sound like shit but they have no punch they lack some depth and in comparsion with other headsets they arent worth their price. The main problem I an dmany others have with wireless headsets is the low static noise you get, not everyone hears it for example my gf but I and my friend hear it ever so slightly especially if you listen to music on low sound settings or while ideling on the desktop. The virtuoso se is still really really good and the mic sounds really nice in discord, its better than the non se version trust me. If you look for wireless go for them and if not go for the g pro x YES the x because you will hear the difference with blue voice, sounds incredible, better than most stand mics in fact, my friend got it and for 99 euros its really good and comfortable, idk what dimitri does but he almost lways screws up his mic comparsions.. just watch some other reviews and you will see
A wireless mh751/752 that connects via a type-c dongle while having a free carry case would be the dream.
Damn, CM H752 is the best deal for me, I am really in love with it's mic!
Is it good for hearing footsteps? Where they come from and etc. I can't choose between the mh752/1 or the Fnatic React
@@Mouzinho081 I do not play fps much, but high frequencies are a bit lowered i think, i increased them and sound became crystal clear as i can judge on my comparison in music,
@@Mouzinho081 also, i can't say which headset is better because I've never tried fnatic one, but directions of hearable sounds/footsteps are pretty understandable
did you get any crosstalk issues?
@@FromagesDicitte absolutely no
Can you do a review of the headset combo you "built"? Would love to hear the mic quality and hear about the Phillips Headset you recommended
Damn, and I wanted for Steelseries Arctis Pro to appear in this vid
So there's a Razer headset in the thumbnail but not in the video...very useful thank you very much
You think there would actually be razer headset in a video about the best headsets of 2019? Maybe if it was the worst headsets of 2019
My logitech 900 series is still going strong. Love them.
@HardwareCanucks you should review the Cosair HS70 PRO or the Cosair HS70 SE
From what I've seen these are pretty good headsets and I just want opinion on them, Thanks!
Love how he says the logitech mic is bad but he doesn't even turn in the blue software, that's the basic default mic without the blue. Good fair review mate ππ€£
I have the g pro x and had lots of other headsets. With Bluevoice on it is actually the best headset mic.
@@hannesh.3024 seriously, I've seen countless people dog on it but I've never seen or heard anything wrong w it
@@Dave-fd6xc It's an okay headset with an okay microphone, the software isn't that special and doesn't really approve it that much.
Surprised you didn't talk about the wireless artifacting and crackling on the Corsair virtsuoso. It's a pretty widespread issue.
Astros? Steele series arctis pros? Not sure I can get behind some of these recommendations.
bratuul for FPS positional sound Astroβs are one of the best in the industry for their 7.1 surround drivers. Itβs why theyβre used so much in esports. The steel series arctic 9 has Bluetooth in addition for the most versatile headset for those who can use both. I wouldnβt casually pass checking these out if shopping.
@@gryphon123456 they have virtual surround sound right?
@@gryphon123456 they are used in esports because of sponsors, they are terrible fps games because they arent clear at all, they are the beats of the gaming world.
bratuul I switched to astros a few generations ago and Iβm not sponsored. I tried a few and they could sound βokβ but the clarity and positioning of Astroβs were excellent. Loved them and using them ever since. Highly recommended.
Iβm open to others but I can tell you first hand the A50s are top 5 for sure.
@@gryphon123456 top 5 maybe in the xbox 360 era, now they are useless and are a complete waste of money, their wireless headphones are much worse than other options, and their wired variants arent even top 15.
Thanks for the vid guys! Can you review the Philips Fidelio X2HR? Thanks!
One day Chris Pratt will make cameo in Hardware Canucks...
One thing I found important to mention with the virtuoso is that it has slipstream. Which allows low latency and multiple devices attached to a single dongle. I have my mouse, keyboard and headphones wirelessly attached to a single dongle :)
FYI The Fanatic React is 'very similar' to the Monoprice Dark matter gaming headset.
Nvm I realized thereβs only one
@@fizzkhas6653 IMHO Sennheiser PC37x is end game.

The new one from CM. Forgot the name. It's like a completely black version of the HyperX fury s speed edition.
True
If it don't have anime tities on it as a rest it ain't worth it
Is the hs70 any good? It looks so sick and would be fire to my black and white setup. Once had the hs50 and thought they were really good and comfy! Are they still so good?
Only "gaming" headset worth buying out of all those is the coolermaster mh751/2 just because it really isnt a gaming headset and punches 10x above its price. Great sound, best comfort, best mic, cheap price.
Good to know
Thx brother
The hyperx cloud flight is by far the best headset I've ever owned.. I dropped the thing a good 20 times and it's still going strong
Cxde I wanna buy one for my Xbox one but I heard the mic sounds bad so idk what to do
Rican Plug i have used Cloud flight for a year now, the mic is shitty af
ThaKilla which is the better option?
Fnatic React seems to Be almost The same as hyperx cloud2
This guy gets me thirsty everytime. Also you convinsed me to buy the Logitech G Pro's. Cheers!
what about arctics 7? (the 2019 edition especially) a lot of people seem to like it...
@Mach why?
I'm actually looking for a wireless headset in 130$-ish range and arctics 7 seem quite nice - if they're not please tell me why and what would be better then
Kanapka Z Pasztetem
I mean, they're definitely comfortable, but the MH752 would save you some cash
@@Metamine0, they seem nice BUT I want go wireless - currently I have a 10 years (or more) old Pioneer SE-M390 and (ignoring all wear) the most annoying thing is the cable.
Kanapka Z Pasztetem
Ah, I see. Tbh, the Arctis 5 that my friend has were comfortable AF. So the 7 is probably even more. A solid alternative would be the Corsair HS70
Have the arctic 7 from around 2017 i think. Best damn headset i ever had. Not the best mic but the rest of the featurse are so worth it.
Should I get the Massdrop PC37X / Philips SHP5900 (2020) ? Having troubles choosing between the two. I have a slightly smaller head, so the Philips pair may be too big for me. Also, which one has better bass and build quality?
Headphones severely disappointed me this year. π I thought the Corsair virtuoso would be the best, but when trying it on, it was so unbelievably uncomfortable it blew my mind. It felt like a $10 pair from Walgreens. If it was shaped like the Logitech Pro it would be the best headset ever. No exaggeration.
You guys are the best. I love just watching your videos even if I don't need the item your talking about
I'm gonna buy the fnatic React
Steelseries Arctis 7 vs. HyperX Cloud Alpha. i am between of these... which one do you propose for gaming PC?
Alpha
When you're going to review Astro headset?
They've over rated
They are garbage, overpriced headphones, beats of the gaming world, people who buy them are the same people who buy turtle beaches.
Iβve given up on wireless headsets. I have spent too much on them for them to be as buggy as they all are. I am now on the search for good wired ones. Great timing for this video except that it doesnβt fill me with a lot of confidence in the current crop of wired headsets either.
I've had my fill of wireless headsets, from Logitech, Steelseries, Tritton, Turtle Beach...and not the cheap models either.
I finally settled on a HIFIMAN HE-4XX, ModMic, and a Schiit stack (Magni and Modi), and I've never looked back. Yes, the whole setup is more costly than these headsets
but you never have to worry about drivers, or wireless dropout, or batteries...it's literally all just plug-and-play
0:50 the coolermaster headset costs $79, not 59$
It costs 59$ but there isn't stock
It regularly costs $60
@@Athasin where did you see that? at least on TechRadar it says $79.
Its routinely between $50 and $60.
@@HardwareCanucks where? only in physical retailers/ones that only ship to north america? i live in Israel so physical retailers are not a good option since everything is very expensive here, so if there's any international shipping retailer that sells the headset for $50-$60 i'd love to know.
Dmitry is not afraid to talk about cons in top year chart. Pretty rare, pretty awesome, stay true even in 2020!

does the sennheiser gsp 300 still good in 2019?
Absolutely! Love my pair still. I donβt wear it often as sound isolation is too good and I miss package deliveries π
-D.
@@HardwareCanucks So in terms with these headphones , can you still go for the gsp 300 or for example the mh751 etc ?
If you didn't care about the price, which of these would you choose: HyperX cloud alpha, Logitech G Pro X, Fnatic React, Cooler Master MH751, Corsair HS70. I can't make up my mind, I see very good opinions from all of them and bad things too.
What about the Sennheiser GSP 300 in 2019/2020? Is it worth it?
Yep, I just bought them and they are amazing. Also ordered the MH752 but returned that one. They were both the same price btw.
Get a used game zero/one they are god like but get the second eddition they are better
Covalite I was about to choose the Game One but then I read that they come with Open-back design. Game Zero has the Closed-back design, but they arenβt as good as the Game One in some aspects :/
Decided to get the GSP 300 because of the closed-back design and bc of the blue accents (iβm tired of the black and red colors for anything that is gamer ish).
I hope that the sound quality between the Game series and the GSP arenβt as day and night though!
Thanks for the reply!
@@Felphex In the beginning the clamping force is very tight and I got headaches but after two weeks it gets a lot looser.

@@Crunken Hey, I'm a bit late. I am thinking about upgrading from my razer blackshark v2 to g pro x. Looking for someone who have been using them for a while. How are they so far? I expect a good sound quality overall. Do they sound good on phone music/gaming? Thanks
I just made the switch from a Phillips SHP9500 w/ blue yeti, to the Logitech G Pro X w/ Blue yeti. Loved the Phillips but they were too open for Cod, difficult to really dial in where people were.
Steelseries Artic 7 2019 edition am I a joke to you

I really like the Game One design, that classic Sennheiser design before the GSP range but I am unsure of the quality and value. Also I'm looking specifically for Wired for Xbox One.
Steelseries?
EXACLY
Heyheyhey! I accept all criticism about the awful G935 aside from the macro buttons. They are programmable and extremely useful. I would even go so far and say it does not have enough buttons, because with my G933 I walk around everywhere in my house and have full connection to the PC and can adjust several settings without even needing any input devices aside from the headset itself.
the title should of just been "worst headsets of 2019"
I remember in your review of the Corsair Virtuoso headset that the microphone on the non-SE was slightly better. With that in mind, which one of the two would you recommend?
Funny how hyperx is not on the"good headphones" listβ¦
2018 and older my friend
I really like hyperx, but many of their recent stuff hasn't been innovative in the gaming community. Some of their headsets are also overpriced (cloud revolver s, cloud mix)
@@atomic8681 they killed the game with the cloud lineup and sort of fell off after that basically. I really hope they come out with a cloud flight 2 that is what the original should have been cause that thing is lacking also.
@@truthtimetv4575 that's true. Though I think you mean cloud I and II, all their headphones start with cloud. I own a cloud flight and its the most disappointing pair of headphones I've ever bought. They really need to come up with better stuff.
@@atomic8681 yep thats exactly what i meant. I would agree the cloud flight cook my ears, shallow ear cups, cheap feel, mic sucks really bad, the features just arent there. The only redeeming factor is battery life and when you custom EQ them via equalizer apo / peace eq they can really perform well. Otherwise even the stinger wireless i feel is better put together
Why are astros never on here? They have amazing mics and good sound quality and are extremely comfortable. Plus the mix amp is so convenient to mix between game and voice chat.
Splitty nah, theyβre overpriced.
SomeBlackDude I mean I love them, so does everyone else I know that uses them. Iβll gladly pay an extra $50 for the convenience they bring. They are easily $200 headphones when with the mixamp compared to other headphones.
Typical noob
YaBoiLogan XD Explain please. I have tried Sennhiesers, Logitechβs, steel series, and Astros. Astros are a great headset and most importantly have an amazing mic
Astros sound like shit, kinda literally, like you covered a speaker in shit, not clear. Mic isnt impressive at all and is terrible compared to the competition, sennheiser mics shit on it. They are the beats of the gaming headsets, same with razer. Want a headset for under 100 dollars? Get the gsp 300 or hyper x clouds. Actually of you want a "gaming" headset, get one made by sennheiser.
