You're a G
Why did you sort this like a tard
Just not in good order but your good person 😉@@fatherashes
just see 8:33
@@MerrStudiojust ruined all of this mans hardwork
One of the most insane things about the Comtac 4s is the fact that they completely remove the ambient noises and with that all the noise pollution. You only hear whats relevant and thats nice.
I found one on lighthouse and I could hear people scavs spawning in from the other side of the map.
@@papermachevolcano1480 tarkov is buggy but idk about this chief
Yep. This is such a huge deal. I have tinnitus and really don’t want to make it worse by cranking my headphones to 500db like the sweaty zoomers I play against. The lack of ambient noise makes audio much cleaner and easier to process at lower volumes. And in general it helps a bit with the very “smudged” way audio feels in Tarkov.
I started switching to comtac4s earlier this wipe and bought about 12 headsets and for some reason whenever I die they come back in insurance. They're like 150k a pop at this point in the wipe so its insane that more people dont pick them up.
@@papermachevolcano1480 its only 90 meters you schizo
Someone did testing last wipe and found that the range was longer if the source was moving away. So a player running away from you could be heard up to 100m. Also overweight was massively louder and longer range.
Love that chart summary
The BTR coming after you was totally unexpected! Thx for the guide on the head sets though
Thanks for the guide friend.
NEEDED THIS
great job man appreciate your effort
I've been using Comtac 2's for ages. I'm surprised my KDR is as good as it is LOL. Thanks for this!
The Boss Battle Music was a nice touch xD
Try testing to see if the audio is louder while facing than facing away. I saw someone else do a test and found that outside of a pretty narrow front cone, the audio distance becomes as if you dont have a headset.
you already saw the test, why do you need it to be re-tested ??
@@xzeuii His implication is that if not looking at the direction of the person the hearing distance may go down significantly do to a bug. I would like to see this tested aswell but It would be a little harder to test this however because you cant be looking at the person with range finder and discord latency may throw off metrics if you really on voice for start and stop commands.
The person moving could use a range finder while walking towards them
@@xzeuii Weird that you're literate enough to respond, but not literate enough to actually understand what they said.
thanks for this comparison
I love the audio profile of the sordin the most
Same here. The "better" ones tend to just confuse me because you can hear super far out so it feels harder to actually place where they are. Sordins are a great middle ground.
the first one deleted as I was watching it! glad to see it back so i can finish it. 😂
I always run Sordins or M32 depending on my current budget. M32 is just so cheap for what it offers so i always rock it on cheaper builds (mostly mosin runs).
Use Tactical sports they are better and are 30k
@@MakkerHeineken Thanks, i'll try them as soon as possible, maybe they will fit.
if you want you can also use the class 3 helmet and racs for 2nd best audio for combined price of 60k. Last wipe when ammo was more commong id use that because it had decent ricochet, now i am probably going to just spam xcels for 60k and insure them.
@@MakkerHeineken Yepp, just sold all 6 of me comtac 2s 33k each and bought 5x tac sports for 27k each xD
Hey Sheef, can we get an updated video on this? BSG made some changes to the headsets hearing distances about a month ago.
It is a great video of testing. Thank you
the thing is, I am using this video for my headphone testing. Never as good as the pros
I am curious how Sheefgg can hear from 71m (RAC) in the video whereas I cannot hear anything
great video!
8:33 summary
i love you. hav a great wipe!!
Great video
Thanks for this btw I was rocking no headset at start of wipe because they seem busted
You need to do a test where you have youre back turned because it was proven though testing headsets have cone base audio infront of the user so behind isnt as good
I know this was just about the headphones but I wonder how the ranges are with sound-reducing helmets and if there's any difference between them all too
They reverted the old change that affected audio differences between helmets/headsets so they would be affected as well. Regardless those helmets are pretty much unanimously regarded as not worth using due to the importance of audio queues, especially with the headset changes this wipe.
Any helmet that covers ears reduces sound, the ratnik, the green metal pp helmet, the UNTAR etc. An interesting test would be to see how much of a reduction these low, medium and high sound reduction helmets actually impact the range of your hearing and if it is uniform between helmets.@@CocaineCobain
SOO many variables when it comes to headsets and what ya can hear but at least we know the distance you can hear someone walkin down a road
I fell in love with excels early this wipe.... Guess they will be 100k now dang
What aboot sneaking sound range? ADS sound range?
Damn I've been running the ComTac 2's good to know. I'll barter for Sordins or tacs.
Appreciate this test. Somehow rumors got around that Pestily did this test and saw there was no difference in distance with a headset as without. That seemed wrong to me so glad you providedl proof of the headsets. I personally love Sordins and Comtac 4s so ima keep rocking those.
It wasn't that he tested it. He watched the original twitter video and then dropped them saying headsets are useless now
I like Pestily for content, but would never go to him for in game statistics. He never does any sort of scientific testing. And like these two proved, testing his hypothesis wouldn't have even been difficult, he just chose not to and put out bad information instead.
@@colby1398 Nothing about this is scientific. They tested a single time in ideal conditions. In-game when dealing with the quirks of tarkov's audio systems the different between headsets is much less pronounced.
@@colby1398There actually wasn't a difference in audio range on headsets two wipes ago, this has recently changed
I like comtac 2’s bc I don’t like everything being so loud and I can pickup close footsteps a lot better than any of the louder headphones.
whoever claimed hearing distance was the same for all headphones is TRIPPING
they reverted the change it how it was before now
They used to all be the same with different audio profiles like 2 wipes ago
They were correct 2 wipes ago. They reverted the previous distance change.
Uhmmm. But it was.
@@CocaineCobain Multiple people (including pestily) have claimed they provide NO benefit THIS wipe, not 2 wipes ago
@Honeybear1028
I find the audio profile of the XCEL vastly superior to the Sordin. Though I'd mention that. my own footsteps seem much louder and so are my gunshots on Sordins. I hear external noises I actually want to hear much more clear with less noise on the XCEL.
This is insanely useful to know. Is there another test for slower walking? How much does that reduce hearing distance?
Depends on your skill level
I’ll still always use the comtac 2’s, 4’s if I have the money. This wipe there’s been tons of moments where I’ll point out audio that my friends couldn’t hear. Statistically they aren’t great, but the audio of your own footsteps is way quieter than something like the gssh (awful headphones) and I’m not sure how the other headphones compare is that regard
This video has the same problem so many other of these videos have in that none that I've seen test the audio under various environmental sound conditions. Some headsets deaden the sound of rain/ect. and others don't, so what you can hear coming at you in perfect conditions in one set even if it can technically hear further you won't really hear anything at all when you're moving yourself or there are other things making noise on screen. Like some headsets, yeah you can theoretically hear something 50+ meters away, but they also amplify the sound of almost everything else that's happening as well, like the GSSH. I think the actual sound profile and how the headsets deaden or amplify specific sounds is hugely important to a well-rounded understanding of what headsets are actually the best and I've yet to see anyone do a proper analysis with the sound profiles figured into it.
big agree I would love to see an ambient noise comparison and shit like gunshots
May i ask u to do a slow walk and crouch walk test with different speeds? One headset is enough but it would be cool to know the difference in close combat fights!
crouch walk sounds are reduced by skill level
id be curious to see the same test too but with level one perception, and have the results compared, always wondered how much of a difference the perception skill actually makes
nvm i watched further 👍
what about ambient noise reduction? thats pretty huge too with a headset
Man of science.
Been running gssh for the last 3 wipes might be time to switch to xcel or tac sports
Same here...what I got was different though. If GSSH is only 6/7 meters different from no headphones I'm leaning to just no headphones personally
thanks sheef
Is this with or without binaural audio? Cause it’s bugged tf out rn
walkers are my personal favorite.
The RAC is my favourite.
Think for headsets taht are close to each other profile starts being more important, for instance, I can not stand for one sec Razor set, they might hear further but IMO have a way worse profile, can't tell where's anything, sound like everything is in a tin can and ambience is super loud IMO, My personal fav are XCEL (haven't tried comtac 4's yet) and M32 when low on budget, Tac Sport and Sordin are fine too
The distance you can hear people is way too far. However, with how bad the sound system is you can't tell where it is coming from unless it is close half the time.
Mines opposite, I literally have 0 sound until they are on top of me.
How about verticality? on a older reddit post i saw some headsets are bad at it.
Now if only they could develop/fix interior spatial sound, b/c the sound profile through a wall or floor/ceiling sounds A LOT different than with no obstruction.
As it is right now, the headsets seem to cast a ray to objects making noise, and regardless of what's between you and the object/person it amplifies the sound without 'filtering' the audio based on what's between the sound emitter and receiver..
Crazy considering I can hear more that a block away with my tac sports irl, sordins even more. Xcels are good for ear protection.
The noise pollution dampening is interesting to me in EFT because when surrounded by loud gunfire, especially indoors, I'm doubling up on ear protection no matter what. Sound in general is just weird overall, because they're simultaneously overpowered in tarkov and also underpowered. You can hear Everything yet nothing. Not the case irl for me, firearms are still very much loud 😂
I wonder if different headsets get more audio bugs? lol
Gonna start running the RAC instead of m32, didn't know that it was that good
I’ve never used them before because their low price made me think they were bad… I feel like a moron lol
@@CoryMuellerwouldn’t be surprised if they go up in price due to this video.
@@CoryMuellerwell you can only use them on a few helmets lol
@@LucasJaschethey were just as good all last wipe. The price didn’t change
Imo the sound profile on the RACs are almost as bad as the GSSH's, atleast if memory serves me right
ty
Now you should do that test again but with crouch walking/sneaking.
Should've checked audio range decrease on helmet's that cover ears too.
Excellent 49 meter shot!
Can you test what kind of distances you get when wearing helmets with ear protection or ear components like the Ulach, Team Wendy and Ops core side armors?
I use sordins because i have dolby atoms and a 100mm magnet headset that puts out 160dbs and sordins cuts out all background noise like all to the point its like audio turns off other then player movement.
Dolby Atmos is pointless in a game that only supplies a stereo signal. Just a FYI. But yes, agreed that Sordins are king.
@@v4lhulme its not becuase of what dolby atmos is, dolby atmos is a surround sound software that takes an audio source and mixes it into special audio usinf it with stero is the entre point.
@Chevalier_knight the other dude still right. It's virtual surround, all it is doing is messing up the spatial awareness even more. Stereo headphones/headsets are best for games that are in stereo. Surround just muds it all up. It's just an illusion of surround sound. Can't really get that with only a left and right speaker aka headphones/headsets
@@ulpsb that would be true for console headsets i have 100mm magnet drivers and a headset that can output 160bds
@@Chevalier_knightit's still only two speakers, 1 on each year which is l/r... stereo. I don't play console nor do I use headsets. I use studio headphones with dac/amp combo. Just because u have a specific driver and dB output doesn't mean that. That surround sound stuff is mostly gimmick for gaming esp games designed in stereo
RAC was my favourite next to Sordins, because sound profile for RACs felt good for me and because you could getRAC on flea for like dirt cheap but because you made this video they are 50k on flea now . :(
only 8k more than Comtac 2's from ragman, so not that bad tbh
I’ve survived plenty of raids just because of the ComTac 4s, so their ~120k ruble price tag on the flea is worth it to me :)
Who asked
@@Hellionishsissy boy 😂
@@billb5371 Am woman
120k, ha they are going to spike now someone with enough clout has tested and shown they are the best.
XCEL will be good value still.
@@marram101 They've been the best now every wipe , And someone with enough clout ? Lvndmark tests them every wipe what are you even talking about ?
Selling all my comtac 2s after this video 😂
thx
Thats wild bro, every headset its about 10 m before i hear anyone. Itll literally be full silent then sounds like they are on top of me.
That's just tarkov's terrible audio in general
walking and running are both loud right? I know this takes a bit of time to test but how do these all work against Stealth movement? is it all the same but take away 5-10 maybe?
If you put the stealth movement to the slowest and crouch walk while underweight it is completely silent for the other player. It makes noise on your screen, but that is client sided and they cannot hear it.
There's gotta be some distance where you can hear stealth movement even if people are under their weight limit. Why else would they have sound buffs on common and uncommon ground when you level up?@@127twilson
@@redaminsleven2212its bugged this wipe pretty sure. tested with a friend while i had 70kg on me
I really wish someone would do these test with real audio tools.
I just havent had to time to put a video together, but i have gone over these extensively in FL studio using a live signal. And i can tell you there's alot more going on than just how far away you can hear people.
Just the difference between mono and stereo signals and what a player hears vs what they put out is worth a video all on its own.
Only Veritas is going to put in that much effort to a video honestly
Yea and even he didn't show any real audio data. Kinda weird cause i think he uses Logic for his DAW.
I'm gonna do it, but I need help from another player for testing. It's practically impossible to do by yourself.
But fun tip, you can pretty much completely cut out everything below 100hz and everything above 8khz and you'll still be able to hear everything you'd want to and it will cut our a considerable amount of ambient noise. There isn't a single game-play valuable audio que in tarkov that reside in only one band of the frequency spectrum.
Cutting out specific bands will inherently make everything else more audible to your perceived volume. You won't hear anything closer or anything like that, but you will definitely be able distinguish enemy audio ques much easier.
@CZProductions
there is a video of this if you search enough. it goes into detail for different noise levels on each headset. naturally you would want low everything else high footsteps.
well comtac 4 wins there again (comtac 2 was 2nd place). but that video is over a year old, were headsets changed anytime recently?
Its been since before this wipe since i checked last, but i believe the ambient noise reduction isnt the same across the frequency. I believe some lower the high end ambient noise and some lower the low end more. There are some other caveats in there as well as some built in compression thats different( meaning sounds may seem closer than they are based on the volume of everything else). Especially gunshots. Some of them give a more accurate volume to proximity ratio than others. Which is why sometimes loud guns across the map sound like theyre over the hill@ShakeITyEA
@@nivonis393 I'm clueless when it comes to audiophile stuff. Could you tell me how you cut out certain frequencies?
As we all know, audio in this game needs a serious rework. It's the reason everyone camps so much. Ain't no way you hear someone ADS with a pistol 2 rooms over.
Would be interesting to see the same but with sneaking
When slow walking (crab walking) you are virtually inaudible unless you're about 3-5 meters away which is insane;
That’s it, we’re rocking comtac 4s the rest of the wipe dude
yeah have fun spending 200k for a headset each time u die
@@ShakeITyEA sorry u must have broke boy problems

@@ShakeITyEA or maybe ur the broke boy working at mc donalds while ppl work 4h a day from home and have plenty of time to play and have 100-200mills sitting in the stash so 1mil a kit is nothing
I see people complaining about the Comtac 2's, but if you have a bunch of them, aren't they simply better to use than the M32 if only for better ambient noise suppression? You can actually hear yourself think with them lmao.
My favorite has always been the sordin because it adds so much bass noise to the footsteps that can't be mistaken or muted by other noises
I noticed that too last night like wow this scav is super loud
Sordins also alter gunshot sounds such that you can actually increase your volume without blowing out your eardrums to more easily identify footsteps.
Sordins for veritas pick barter was absolutely nuts last wipe.
you are also forgetting the age skill. our own age has a fade to actual hearing lol, or even if some play with earplugs and headphones. still very good goat . 🙌🙌. my bad what about full cover helmet ?
It's mostly high sounds you lose with age. Not really relevant to the sounds used in game.
What about the snow step noise? Can you test that?
Snow is loud. Even underweight and slow crouch walking you can be heard on snow.
@@colby1398 Just tested with a mate, no matter the surface you can't hear people crouching on the lowest setting. You can hear it yourself clientside but its not serverside.
Why did pest say that they made no difference for hearing range? The heck
The ggsh, I always throw it out, whenever I spawn as scav, I hate it.
Binaural?
Sad thing ill never get my traders high enough for those
Damn, I've been playing with GSSH for 3000 hours.. still have 70% survival though, I wonder how I would play if I could hear 25 meters further.
Live me some tac sports
Seems this wipe the only headset worth wearing are contac 4s
I think there is such a thing as hearing too far depending on the map. I don't even want to be concerned with something 90meters away on a close quarters area of a map
when you get max peception test the sound with no headset and wearing an altyn compared to a fresh level 0 perception with comtacts
...just go by the %increase?
Dude. to be completely honest. I didnt hear a single step in your tests. I sometimes get suprised by scaves that come around the corner just 20 meters away from me. their steps suddelny apper with them just a short time after
Comtac 4s and a face shield didn’t save that Chad from my one tap so I sold the Comtac 4s I think they where found in raid tbh as I remember selling them to flea 😂
Dude wtf is that test.... I mean the results, this is aweful, but great test you did good job.
There is no problem with tarkov anymore that offline sound is different than online ?
k, but shoulda done w/ a 0 skill account for a baseline (perception), and/or include what your perception skill is w/ the bonus it provides.
found the guy who watched like 10 seconds
@@reaper314 ah yes, because i missed the 4 seconds in the middle of a video, i only watched 10 seconds. got it.... it's a detail that should have been up front at the start of the video. That's called clarity of information and communication.
Gssh are and will always be the best for the price
difference shouldnt be the distance. different headsets shouldve been focused more on types of sound heared better. like one hears better voicelines, on for foot steps, one for gun movements, one for indoors and one with noise supporession for outdoors.
the distance should be varied by skill level. am i the only one? i hear ADS more than footsteps. people creep in the same building as i am without me knowing, then they ADS thats the only time i notice them. ive watched many of my replays and i did not miss their sound queue
Like Different frequency ranges instead of distance.
if thats what its called.@@ulpsb
Sordins for life
Pestily mentioned he tested them and they are all equal. Is he wrong? Any statements how he came to that conclusion?
dumb
i turned my pc to max and i legit cant hear these max ranges...
A test needs to be made on different materials.Grass,snow,dirt
Even 5 meter difference is massive imo cause the guy with better headphones can just stop and listen immediately.
blud has super hearing
I have been using the peltor's tactical sport this wipe and let me tell you, they are not good for me. Player scavs have been taking me by surprise consistently. I can't hear better with them than with the comtacs 2 or m32s. This tierlist is not accounting for other variables. It might have to do with my sound options but I legit would put them in the lowest tier possible. This video does have valuable information but it should be taken with a grain of salt
people still sleeping on RAC. Good for me at least!
Now I know why that thing f costs 100k
I'm gonna keep running 2s if only because they reduce ambient noise more than any other headset besides the 4s as far as I can tell, and I'm too much of a fucking miser to drop 100-200k on a headset more than once in a few raids lol
1:19 how can you hear walking? pumped up all the volume got 0 footsteps... the hell
But it also depends to the actual skill level
Sordin gang
Have fun with listening to people on other floors then 😂
Thats what you want, i like sordins because they remove all none player sounds
And they add a clear bass tones to the footsteps that can't br mistaken with other sounds
ye sordins are my fav coz they just remove all the ambient sounds of the map, tested every headset and they are on 2nd place after ct-4 imo
M32 On top
And people tell me there's no difference anymore smh
