He probably connected the headset to his pc with bluetooth and windows and maybe other pcs can't do a mic stream and headphone stream at high quality at the same time. So you either have to have bad mic or bad headphones. This is why most pc headsets that are wireless do not use bluetooth,
It's a widespread problem across wireless Gaming headsets. I don't really know the reason for that (probably something to do with managing bandwidth for sending and receiving audio at the same time), but only very few models (like the Corsair HS80) manage to achieve a decent mic quality.

Those were his daily driver headphones for the years he was a radio DJ, and the 20 something years he ran the music at the dances at the local high school, and he doesn’t use headphones that often anymore, but he still uses those things TO THIS VERY DAY. I have practically brand new production runs of those same headphones. We originally bought them for an electric piano, but then we got an actual piano, so I grabbed them.

Bought the Sony MDR-MV1 for gaming and dear got, best purchase ive ever made. The accuracy of surround sound in games is literally the most accurate of all time. Like close your eyes and hear where the enemy is anywhere around you 360 degrees, then open your eyes and move your character and yup, they are EXACTLY where you expect them to be. Its wild. Music, amazing. Movies with windows dolby atmos enabled, amazing. Now I just need to buy their new podcast microphone and use it instead of the blue yeti ive been using
I’ve had the original Pulse 3D headphones for the PS5 since they launched and the mic sounds the exact same, I’m honestly surprised even though it’s a wireless mic lol
I have the even cheaper version of these and I have to say Sony does know how to make comfortable headphones. The drivers are weaker than I am used to for gaming headphones but the fit is excellent. I also found TimTams at my local HEB here in TX and it made me feel one step closer to upside down land.
what? the old pulse 3d? i got a pair and they are so bad.... you barely have to move and they just fall off your head..... if your head isn't giant watermelon size at least... and the sound quality is mediocre at best
this is the first dankpods mic review I've watched since getting a pair of HD599s, I can finally experience the freakish ears on a stand in the full glory they were meant to be heard in!
Idk the exact conversion, but I think those cost about as much as I bought my drop panda's used. Might be decently exciting to find these on the used market
Okay, I almost lost it at your mic test... Oh! If you like value, cheap, but branded headphones you can scream into I actually really love the Logitech G335 wired ones. They do an amazing job for what they are, and importantly they are super extra comfy, and come in three colours. I got "mint" which translates to Green/Teal
in fairness to the microphone on the ps5 headset, they typically sound better over 2.4ghz when connected to the intended console, it's mostly a limation of the bluetooth protocols
One of the best headphones I ever had, was the Pulse Elite for the PS3 with the BassImpact. The sound was not amazing, but the BassImpact was fenomenal, dunno why they don't do it anymore.
You've got to admire any company which rejects the constant urge to redesign and "improve" a product, by simply making the same thing year, after year, after year, after year. Because if you designed it right in the first place, you don't need to redesign it. Kawasaki made the GPZ900 Ninja motorcycle exactly the same for over a decade. The only things which changed were the paint colours, and the indicator stalks! My Tellus vacuum cleaner dates from 1970, and you can still buy the same machine today, and in fact, I got a new hose for it last month. I have a Rolex Oyster Perpetual, which was introduced in 1950, and is still made today. Gotta love it.
7:40 Pretty sure if I recall the xbox brand wireless headphones also happen to have that capability, you can connect 2 devices at once, ex: a windows pc playing spotify and an xbox at the same time
I have the Pulse Elite, If I use Dolby Atmos for games that aren't compatible with Atmos, will the sound be worse than the Linear PCM? Or should I use Dolby Atmos for everything I play?

Like close your eyes and hear where the enemy is anywhere around you 360 degrees, then open your eyes and move your character and yup, they are EXACTLY where you expect them to be. Its wild. Music, amazing. Movies with windows dolby atmos enabled, amazing. Now I just need to buy their new podcast microphone and use it instead of the blue yeti ive been using
I’ve had the original Pulse 3D headphones for the PS5 since they launched and the mic sounds the exact same, I’m honestly surprised even though it’s a wireless mic lol
wtf is a wireless mic 😅
@@Zylthar sony's bluetooth mics are notoriously bad, i've had a clouple of them including the pulse 3d, they're all ass!
@@opadrinho7577 2017 turtle beach 700s still going strong 😉
@@opadrinho7577Most headset mics are ass tbf. The pulse 3D is super ass cus its not a boom mic
I have the even cheaper version of these and I have to say Sony does know how to make comfortable headphones. The drivers are weaker than I am used to for gaming headphones but the fit is excellent. I also found TimTams at my local HEB here in TX and it made me feel one step closer to upside down land.
what? the old pulse 3d? i got a pair and they are so bad.... you barely have to move and they just fall off your head..... if your head isn't giant watermelon size at least... and the sound quality is mediocre at best
7:30 The PS5 has a spotify app that lets you do that anyways whilst playing games.
this is the first dankpods mic review I've watched since getting a pair of HD599s, I can finally experience the freakish ears on a stand in the full glory they were meant to be heard in!
5:03 is amazing
the microphone test made my day !!! i was not prepared for that one
The microphone stories have reached a new level 😂
Idk the exact conversion, but I think those cost about as much as I bought my drop panda's used. Might be decently exciting to find these on the used market
Okay, I almost lost it at your mic test...
Oh! If you like value, cheap, but branded headphones you can scream into I actually really love the Logitech G335 wired ones. They do an amazing job for what they are, and importantly they are super extra comfy, and come in three colours. I got "mint" which translates to Green/Teal
in fairness to the microphone on the ps5 headset, they typically sound better over 2.4ghz when connected to the intended console, it's mostly a limation of the bluetooth protocols
perfect timing, just got to sit back and relax, open youtube and bam, new video
5:58 ladies and gentlemen, Dankpods' first gamer moment on this channel.
I feel like I won the lotto catching a Dankpods upload early
The Hifiman HE400SE are also a great planar magnetic option for about the same price
One of the best headphones I ever had, was the Pulse Elite for the PS3 with the BassImpact. The sound was not amazing, but the BassImpact was fenomenal, dunno why they don't do it anymore.
Great vid! The Fostex T50RP MK3's are also killer value bargain planars. Got mine for £85 "open box" which turned out to be brand-spanking new.
I forgot that these existed!
best mic test of all time
That point in the clips of his Aussie Vegimite Rage:tm: where he's just going YEAAAAAA YEAAAAA, over and over is GOLD.
You've got to admire any company which rejects the constant urge to redesign and "improve" a product, by simply making the same thing year, after year, after year, after year. Because if you designed it right in the first place, you don't need to redesign it.
Kawasaki made the GPZ900 Ninja motorcycle exactly the same for over a decade. The only things which changed were the paint colours, and the indicator stalks!
My Tellus vacuum cleaner dates from 1970, and you can still buy the same machine today, and in fact, I got a new hose for it last month.
I have a Rolex Oyster Perpetual, which was introduced in 1950, and is still made today.
Gotta love it.
This was the greatest collab of all time, I cannot believe Wade got Wade from Hello, I'm Gaming to do the mic test for him, extraordinary stuff.
3:23 it’s always hard to pull out XD
Sony products have names like they were christened by a password generator.
I personally love the microphone 😂 it just feels natural to have toaster mics while console gaming
7:40 Pretty sure if I recall the xbox brand wireless headphones also happen to have that capability, you can connect 2 devices at once, ex: a windows pc playing spotify and an xbox at the same time
They don’t they’re really bad
nah from what i remember mine had some pretty good bass too.@@kob6183
Walter White at 5:51💀
How is this microphone can be done for premium gaming headset in 2024 i can't understand 5:43 ...
Bluetooth
4:07 TUNE
if you havent yet, id love to see you review the new dyson headphones that just came out!!!
I have the Pulse Elite, If I use Dolby Atmos for games that aren't compatible with Atmos, will the sound be worse than the Linear PCM? Or should I use Dolby Atmos for everything I play?
Planar magnetics sounds like an astrology thing.
"I've got a headache today. I think it's because my planar magnetics aren't equalized."
Your friend - assumes you're getting into some weird spiritual thing
Reality - you turned your music way too loud because you didn't want to find a way to EQ your bass up
