5:56 - SS 13:35 - TB 22:13 - RK I thought the TB's sounded the most natural, definitely louder and clearer than the SS's and the RK's sounded a little compressed and slightly muffled. What I don't know is, which has the best game sounds?
I just love how this channel is the ULTIMATE HONESTY! No sponser, no bullshit, just the honest reviews of an expert! Keep up the good work man. I wish you THE BEST 👍👍👍
@@TheTechne I have a dierya dk61 and the windows key has the word 'win' on it instead of the windows logo. Is it a deal breaker or something like that?
the one feature that makes the 700 gen 2 the best for me is the glasses relief adjustment on the ear pads, this one feature is amazing and just adds to the already impressive headset!
I bought both the 700gen2 and Kaira pro. The 700 Gen2s are miles better, audio quality seems almost too good for a gaming headset, you can actually listen to music on the gen2s as well as game, they just have a better balanced clear sound with incredible lower end tones. Also I tried both 600 and 700 gen2s and there's a difference for sure, get the 700s. Also the phone app is great for customizing sound without having to leave the game. Controls offer more options too.
Bought the Kaira Pro after this review and I'm so happy with my purchase. Just purchased the cushions as well I trust your recommendations that much. Thank again mate 😁
The Turtle Beach 700 Gen 2's are a decent headset, but after a while the plastic connecting the cups to the headband will begin to break. I've had mine for a year, so I got a decent amount of use out of them before they gave in, they are currently being held together by super glue.
This is my second pair and did the same thing. The build quality is terrible sound and battery life is amazing. I won’t buy again definitely not for 200$
I bought a pair of WC earpads a few months ago for my HyperX CloudX Flight's and I think they're a million times better than the stock cushions. Highly recommend buying some Wicked Cushions earpads. The ones I bought are velour & PU leather hybrid and cost $20 on Amazon.
I ain’t messing with TB no more. My last two wireless headsets sometimes had severe popping n crackling issues. Will be buying either the SS or Razer next 💯
These have been very helpful. I’m really struggling to decide which one. I used the Astro a40’s with the mixamp last gen, but evidently it’s not working as good with the XSX. Budget is not too much of an issue, but if the TB or the Kaira work great at the 150.00 price point, why not grab one of those. I looked at ordering the Penrose X, but it seems like one of these options looks good. Do you still lean toward the Kaira as your favorite choice for XBX? Thanks for the great work>
The cloud 2 wireless didnt make either lists!!! Crazy thought they would after your first review! Also ben watching you sense the spartan helmet and your videos have just ben getting stinken better and smoother every time i watch a new one! Keep it up man!
I kinda of feel like the gen 2 should’ve been first, felt more like you were pushing those ear cushions. Only because in a previous video you couldn’t stop raving about how awesome and perfect the comfort was for the 700s. The difference you ranked was comfort one shorter than the razor. Plus you literally had to change the ear cushions lol
Really the kaira pro? I’m returning mine the mic sucks it has a constant white noise and my teammates had to mute me it was so bad. I returned one set of the 700 gen 2 just stopped working. Replaced it and the game chat is cutting in and out so I’ll be returning those as well. So I’ve had no luck w kaira pro and 700 gen 2. I’m lost bc I was going to try the the steel series next.
that Discrete Microphone on the Kaira Pro! It's just an absolute win! I'm not really into Razer Headphones too, and don't like the green branding, So like you recommended I might get a white ear cushion from wicked cushions and probably like run a bleach solution (70% water 30% bleach) on the headband, to make it black and white!
Glad I've held off on getting a new headset. I have an Astro a40 tr but also want something wireless. Being able to adjust the Razer on the console is an awesome feature!
Bought a Razer V2X for my xbox after watching your review on it. It's just so damn good for the price. Had a turtle beach recon 50x, this is on a whole new level.
Just ordered the Razer headset and a pair of the ear pads from Wicked Cushion now for my XSX 😊 Got the Halo Infinite edition which dulls down the usual razer green for the spartan green 🍏
Arctis 7X easily takes the win here for me. I'm using them right now. I've gone through a lot of headsets lately and returned them all because of one thing or another. The biggest drawback to the other headsets is the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows 10 (I have the slim one). Works great for my controllers but with both the new Xbox Wireless Headset and the Arctis 9X, sound cut out every second on my PC. Unusable. It's too bad because they are both great headsets but that doesn't matter when your sound cuts out every second. I spent almost two weeks researching how to resolve this, including disabling one or the other frequency on the router, sticking to USB 2.0 ports, using an extension, different drivers, and buying a new adapter. The Arctis 7X has no need for the Xbox adapter. Sure, I have to move the dongle to whatever I want to use them on but honestly, moving that dongle is so much easier and faster than pairing every time. The proprietary dongle that comes with it has a fantastic signal that penetrates walls easily and works on my Xbox Series X, PC, PS4 Pro, and Android phone flawlessly. I have no need for bluetooth since I listen to music via Spotify on my PC and Xbox, and rarely get calls. If the other headsets here had their own dongle that worked on everything I'd certainly consider them, but I'll never make the mistake of getting a headset that connects directly to the Xbox, and then to the PC via Xbox Wireless dongle.
How did you record the mic tests? Bluetooth to Smartphone? In your Review Vid of the Kaira Pro from 24th november, the mic test sounded crazy bad. But here it sounded way better? Like it was recording the internal mic instead of the external and here it recored the external boom mic? So what does it use when using discord over bluetooth on a smartphone while gaming on xbox?
Actually shocked the 7x wasn't the number one selection due to its versatility. Even just on Xbox it's strong and doesn't need as much adjustment as the others in my opinion. That said I did get the regular Kaira from Amazon and am undecided on it. I don't need bluetooth so I didn't select the Kaira Pro. Definitely is a step down as it's all plastic. Doesn't feel cheap but I'd love the metal reinforced headband of the Kaira Pro. Made a custom eq and it definitely sounds much better. Still getting used to it compared to the Arctis sound signature Had more bass punch for sure but I'm not picking up footsteps and such as easily as I do with my Arctis 9x. Have not gotten complaints on the microphone so I'm assuming it's decent enough.
What sold me on the Steel Series Arctis 7x is lossless connection, had Turtle Beaches 700 before and had massive constant connection issues, since 7x has a dongle I have zero issues now.
You made me buy the TB 700 gen 2 for the ps5 last year. Now I got the new xbox also, thought I'll switch it up with the xbox wireless headset, what a bummer. Getting the TB 700 gen 2 now also for my xbox. Cant go wrong. The Kaira seems good also, but I really like the TB on my ps5, the sound is really good and I can exactly pinpoint where the sounds come from.
I’ve had the Turtle Beach 800x Elite’s for a few years now for my Xbox One X and I have to say.. pretty Stellar Headset when it comes to Sound. I purchased my girlfriend the Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen2 headset in white and I feel like the sound is kinda stale/Cheap compared to my older 800 elite’s.. I’ve only compared the SuperHuman between the 2 but it just didn’t match up in my opinion to my Headset when it came to Tru Sound Quality. The Biggest down side to my 800s to me is they get super uncomfortable after a good gaming sesh.. I’m thinking about going for the Astro A50 + Mix Amp as my next headset. I’ve been turtle beach since the beginning but might dip into different waters here soon..
DO NOT BUY THE 700 GEN 2 IF YOU’RE A LOUD GAMER/YELLER!!! It crackles and pops in other peoples headsets in the party chat and is extremely annoying to them!! I bought mine and loved it till they said it’s annoying and we’re telling me to stop raising my voice. Even with mic monitoring turned all the way down or even up it still CRACKLES AND POPS IN XBOX LIVE PARTY CHATS!! I just submitted my Amazon return this morning. Going to get these Razer’s because using them connected to your phone while gaming (like the turtle beach’s) was incredibly dope! Hopefully this comment helped you guys!
The Stealth 700 sound pretty good, a little overly “bassy” to me…but they were insanely uncomfortable because of the clamping force, IMO. Like after 30 minutes or so and they were crap. After messing with eq settings and stuff I just don’t see anything surpassing the Arctis for me, they are just way to high on the comfort to sound ratio. Astros would be my second for the same reason, despite their price.
Hey Techne! Would you mind doing a review for the Razer Kaira Pro on windows 10 with the xbox wireless adapter? Are all the feature still available? This headset looks perfect to me, I would love to use them on PC
@@Whitedoom21 I have Xbox one but it should work exactly the same on series x. This headset doesn’t rely on an optical connection for good sound so you should be good 👍
@@dandrumma1 Nice Nice. Im still doubting between these and Corsair Virtuoso Wireless SE. Too bad my ASTRO a40 dont work with the series x haha. Thnx for taking the time to reply :)
They are the same headset essentially. The 7x's don't have Bluetooth so you cant connect to your phone. They also connect with a dongle where as the 9x's have direct connect. I prefer no dongle but with the 7x's you can use them for everything which nothing else does, this is why they are hard to come buy. The 7x's have usb C instead of micro usb and they have a bit longer battery life. I've had the 9x's since they launched and they have been my favourite wireless X-box headset, and I've used them all (except the newest ones that are coming out now).
@@blacczaire9510 I've never had disconnection issues with my 9x's. I've always found it strange that so many people claim to have this issue. I guess I'm lucky that I don't.
I was divided between the razer and the turtle beach ones . I even ordered the razer kaira pro from amazon, but after watching several reviews I canceled those and went with the 700 gen 2. Your videos helped me a lot I knew nothing about headsets before
@@TheTechne if I could I'd have ordered both, but when comparing side by side I felt like the 700 gen 2 were better. I haven't seen the kaira pro in person but they seem lower quality, may be its just all that green hahah. Plus you and other reviewers talked so well about those ear cushions on the 700 that I totally have to try them. But as you said it was a close call, the kaira pro seems awesome too,
I can’t wait for your best headsets of 2020 video. Currently in the market for a headset 100-150$. Anyone have ideas for me to look at in the meantime? Edit: I should mention I mostly play competitive games like r6
Love the content. Your the standard barrier for my headset choices. Constructive criticism, is that every video you talk on the headset mic, I can never hear. It's usually 12 to 18db less. Is that from editing or another reason?
I've received the Arctis 7x for PS5 and XSX and have compared the sound with my wired Sennheiser HD598 (8 yrs old) and I was disappointed. The sound with the Sennheiser was clearly better and more volumuinous then the Arctis 7x. Tested on XSX with Destiny 2 (the sound of the guns, the Intro quite better with the Sennheiser), AC Valhalla, Forza. On PS5 with Damon's Souls. Further my ear is touching the driver in the ear cup of the 7x and my ears are not bigger then from other guys ^^ Friend of mine has the same problem. However I'm wondering why the 7x is getting so much positive test results from youtube reviewers... From my point of view the headset is never 179€ worthy. The Connection with the dongle worked perfect on both consoles. Last weekend I've compared the 7x with the Sennheiser GSP 670 and the Sound of the Sennheiser was better but not so good as with my wired HD598. So paying ~ 260€ only to get a non wired Headset...nope that's too much. When somebody have no comparison then the Arctis may be good but in my case... Can't use the Arctis knowing the sound of my Sennheiser HD 598. Can you recommend Headphones or a Headset for XSX and PS5? What about the Razor BlackShark v2 Pro? Greetings from Vienna.
I just picked up the TB 600 Max not really giving much thought to Razer's headsets. But I havent been impressed with the sound quality of the of the 600's and the lack of Bluetooth. After watching this I decided to take advantage of the sale price on the Kairas and return the turtle beaches 👍
hmm debating between the top 2 of this vid review. gonna wait till top 5 overall. I dont need BT feature function, but it is nice, not sure if I'd use it often enough. glad to know TB and Razer both have a non BT headset (600, non Pro). flip to mute interests me, and so does the cool gel memory foam ear cups. 🤔🤔🤷🏼♀️ if one of them is on sale for the holidays, I'll def buy it!
@@TheTechne I expected nothing less, you're turning into RUclips's go to guy for headphones. One request I would have is that u had a review category specifically for audio (sound staging, imaging, object placement, treble, mid, base ect.) Just for us folks who prefer audio over all regardless of comfort/ accessories.
Any chance of a comparison video or thoughts between the Arctic 7x vs HyperX Cloud II Wireless? Both $150 and you gave them pretty great reviews. Wondering which one you'd give the edge to for PC.
Are they good? Because I bought the Xbox wireless headset but I do not like them they feel heavy and the audio feels scruffy and they are TOO BASEY like my ears hurt after using them.
@@Exlipse703 I was actually planning on getting the Xbox headsets before I ordered the stealth 700 but I gave up on them cause they were out of stock everywhere
I tried the 9x and it had massive problems staying connected to the Xbox series x but however I did watch your review on the pro series wireless and after emailing steel series I was able to change your settings and run the sound out through hdmi then run fiber optic out of my tv to the box and the sound difference is night and day thanks for the review on those.
For those wondering how that works and want the best sound possible, here is what steel series told me to do. First I plug my pro wireless box into the pc and updated my settings then I ran the hdmi to the tv and from there ran an fiber optic audio cable to the pro series black box. Then I took a spare usb wall adapter plugged the box in for constant power. Set it to ps4 mode played with the dimmer settings and what not on the box. Then settings wise for the Xbox series x was the Dolby digital out via hdmi and the tv was set to bitstream out of the fiber optic cable. The sound is amazing in my option can’t even come close to the 9x don’t get me wrong the 9x is a good headset but the pro series wireless is by far the best.

I bought mine and loved it till they said it’s annoying and we’re telling me to stop raising my voice. Even with mic monitoring turned all the way down or even up it still CRACKLES AND POPS IN XBOX LIVE PARTY CHATS!! I just submitted my Amazon return this morning. Going to get these Razer’s because using them connected to your phone while gaming (like the turtle beach’s) was incredibly dope! Hopefully this comment helped you guys!
I agree with many people here techne. You’re really honing your craft bro. I rely heavily on youtube. Thx for being honest man.
HOW ARE YOU SO QUICK TO REVIEW AND EDIT THESE VIDEOS!?!?!?😂
I just enjoy it so much
@@TheTechne I wish this guy was my dad
yeah
@@jurhkio same
Adderall 😂
The Stealth 700 sound pretty good, a little overly “bassy” to me…but they were insanely uncomfortable because of the clamping force, IMO. Like after 30 minutes or so and they were crap. After messing with eq settings and stuff I just don’t see anything surpassing the Arctis for me, they are just way to high on the comfort to sound ratio. Astros would be my second for the same reason, despite their price.
Hey Techne! Would you mind doing a review for the Razer Kaira Pro on windows 10 with the xbox wireless adapter? Are all the feature still available? This headset looks perfect to me, I would love to use them on PC
Quality video as always.
Do you think the new Audeze Penrose are any good for the price? Not sure if you would review those for a future video lol
I just subbed to you nice content!
Thank u so much
I watched ur arctis pro wired review and i bought my own!!!
Hey Techne does the Razer Kaira Pro work with Xbox One X? Need to know b4 I buy. Love the video I didn't know which headset to get.
Finally the video I was waiting for from you I'm getting the razer
This review was "stinkin awesome" lol Thanks man!
Picked up the 700 Gen 2’s based on your review. What a great headset!
Does it work well on the series x? Also looking for a Nice headset But there are so Many of Them :D
@@Whitedoom21 I have Xbox one but it should work exactly the same on series x. This headset doesn’t rely on an optical connection for good sound so you should be good 👍
@@dandrumma1 how do u find IT? Good quality sound and mic?
@@Whitedoom21 sound is excellent mic is good and headset has great features. comfort is also good once you stretch it out a bit
@@dandrumma1 Nice Nice. Im still doubting between these and Corsair Virtuoso Wireless SE. Too bad my ASTRO a40 dont work with the series x haha. Thnx for taking the time to reply :)
Where would you rate the Steelseries 9x against these 3 headsets?
They are the same headset essentially. The 7x's don't have Bluetooth so you cant connect to your phone. They also connect with a dongle where as the 9x's have direct connect. I prefer no dongle but with the 7x's you can use them for everything which nothing else does, this is why they are hard to come buy. The 7x's have usb C instead of micro usb and they have a bit longer battery life.
I've had the 9x's since they launched and they have been my favourite wireless X-box headset, and I've used them all (except the newest ones that are coming out now).
@@Ruttagger do u get disconnection issues ?
@@blacczaire9510 I've never had disconnection issues with my 9x's. I've always found it strange that so many people claim to have this issue. I guess I'm lucky that I don't.
I was divided between the razer and the turtle beach ones . I even ordered the razer kaira pro from amazon, but after watching several reviews I canceled those and went with the 700 gen 2.
Your videos helped me a lot I knew nothing about headsets before
two great headsets? but why the cancelation on the kaira? i gotta say it is such a great headsets, my main xbox headset
@@TheTechne if I could I'd have ordered both, but when comparing side by side I felt like the 700 gen 2 were better. I haven't seen the kaira pro in person but they seem lower quality, may be its just all that green hahah.
Plus you and other reviewers talked so well about those ear cushions on the 700 that I totally have to try them.
But as you said it was a close call, the kaira pro seems awesome too,
@@TheTechne no kiara sucks
I can’t wait for your best headsets of 2020 video. Currently in the market for a headset 100-150$. Anyone have ideas for me to look at in the meantime?
Edit: I should mention I mostly play competitive games like r6
Love the vids!!
thank you
Just ordered the Razer Kaira Pro with the WC Earpads for my kid I can’t wait for him to get them.
hi techne, great video. i know razer kaira is first because of the bluetooth but is it first too because now razer audio is better than steelseries?
I was really shocked about that put pressure on the metal heaband on the turtle beach stealth 700 gen 2 wow im in love again with the headset 😍
Love the content. Your the standard barrier for my headset choices. Constructive criticism, is that every video you talk on the headset mic, I can never hear. It's usually 12 to 18db less. Is that from editing or another reason?
BOUGHT THE RAZER KAIRO PROS AND RETURNED THEM FOR THE RIG 800LX . CANT BEAT THE 7.1 SURROUND SOUND WITH DOLBY ATMOS FOR 150$
Thanks bro, just got the kaira pro
I've received the Arctis 7x for PS5 and XSX and have compared the sound with my wired Sennheiser HD598 (8 yrs old) and I was disappointed.
The sound with the Sennheiser was clearly better and more volumuinous then the Arctis 7x. Tested on XSX with Destiny 2 (the sound of the guns, the Intro quite better with the Sennheiser), AC Valhalla, Forza. On PS5 with Damon's Souls.
Further my ear is touching the driver in the ear cup of the 7x and my ears are not bigger then from other guys ^^
Friend of mine has the same problem. However I'm wondering why the 7x is getting so much positive test results from youtube reviewers...
From my point of view the headset is never 179€ worthy.
The Connection with the dongle worked perfect on both consoles. Last weekend I've compared the 7x with the Sennheiser GSP 670 and the Sound of the Sennheiser was better but not so good as with my wired HD598. So paying ~ 260€ only to get a non wired Headset...nope that's too much.
When somebody have no comparison then the Arctis may be good but in my case... Can't use the Arctis knowing the sound of my Sennheiser HD 598.
Can you recommend Headphones or a Headset for XSX and PS5? What about the Razor BlackShark v2 Pro?
Greetings from Vienna.
Great vids :D
thank you
I bought the 9x its coming in 4 days im so hyped🤩👍🏼
Bought them for a great price of 150$👌🏼
@@PombaerLP how so?
@@RjayjayC i live in austria and bought them from spain in amazon👍🏼
@@PombaerLP they have 2 versions at GameStop. One for 99.99 and one for 200.00
Hi Techne. Were they all better than HS75 XB? And did you really painted your headband? :)
yeah the 75 was good but not great. as for the headband, I haven't found a way yet. but I will first chance I get, lol
I just picked up the TB 600 Max not really giving much thought to Razer's headsets. But I havent been impressed with the sound quality of the of the 600's and the lack of Bluetooth. After watching this I decided to take advantage of the sale price on the Kairas and return the turtle beaches 👍
hmm debating between the top 2 of this vid review. gonna wait till top 5 overall.
I dont need BT feature function, but it is nice, not sure if I'd use it often enough. glad to know TB and Razer both have a non BT headset (600, non Pro). flip to mute interests me, and so does the cool gel memory foam ear cups. 🤔🤔🤷🏼♀️ if one of them is on sale for the holidays, I'll def buy it!
Which of these is the best for rainbow six siege in your opinion?
Which headset is the best for Xbox Series X and for the watching Smart TV - Steelseries Arctis 7X or 9X??
get 7x im really happy with them..using them on my pc and series x :)
Yes I’ve been waiting for this video since I discovered you! Now can you do one with higher end ones?
coming next weekend ;) will be an overall top 5, no platform or price limit
@@TheTechne have u tried the senheiser pc38x?
@@Pablito5614yes, review coming soon
@@TheTechne I expected nothing less, you're turning into RUclips's go to guy for headphones. One request I would have is that u had a review category specifically for audio (sound staging, imaging, object placement, treble, mid, base ect.) Just for us folks who prefer audio over all regardless of comfort/ accessories.
@@Pablito5614 yeah I have been touching a little more on that, but I don't want my videos to become audio confusing like many audiophile vids.
Hi quick question wich one would you choose the Arctis 7x, 9x or Astro a50? It is for the Xbox one.
Will you do top 3 or top 5 budget gaming keyboards? My keyboard is really messed up and i dont want to spend my money on the wrong product.
Any chance of a comparison video or thoughts between the Arctic 7x vs HyperX Cloud II Wireless? Both $150 and you gave them pretty great reviews. Wondering which one you'd give the edge to for PC.
Either are great prolly arctic
I know this is off topic with the video but review artisan mouse pads please I love your vids and wanna see you review the artisan mousepad
What headset is the best for PS4 under $150 overall
I’m so glad the Stealth 700 G2 made the list because I just ordered them
Are they good? Because I bought the Xbox wireless headset but I do not like them they feel heavy and the audio feels scruffy and they are TOO BASEY like my ears hurt after using them.
@@Exlipse703 I’m not sure cause they haven’t arrived in the mail
@@Exlipse703 I was actually planning on getting the Xbox headsets before I ordered the stealth 700 but I gave up on them cause they were out of stock everywhere
Waiting for my corsair hs75 xb to arrive. Do you think I made a good choice over these 3?
The 75xb was a nice headset, but at that price I think these 3 take a win
I tried the 9x and it had massive problems staying connected to the Xbox series x but however I did watch your review on the pro series wireless and after emailing steel series I was able to change your settings and run the sound out through hdmi then run fiber optic out of my tv to the box and the sound difference is night and day thanks for the review on those.
For those wondering how that works and want the best sound possible, here is what steel series told me to do. First I plug my pro wireless box into the pc and updated my settings then I ran the hdmi to the tv and from there ran an fiber optic audio cable to the pro series black box. Then I took a spare usb wall adapter plugged the box in for constant power. Set it to ps4 mode played with the dimmer settings and what not on the box. Then settings wise for the Xbox series x was the Dolby digital out via hdmi and the tv was set to bitstream out of the fiber optic cable. The sound is amazing in my option can’t even come close to the 9x don’t get me wrong the 9x is a good headset but the pro series wireless is by far the best.
helpful video! Thanks!
