Plastic, though it looks cheap, is actually a pretty light material. Lighter materials for long gaming sessions seems like a pretty good idea! Even if I'm still able to hear the world around me, that may not be such a bad thing. definitely considering this :)
The usb thing on the headset is for leds on the headset, just plug it in and look around the earcups and mic. Really cool. And try out the Astro A30 Headset + Mixamp | Astro Gaming PRO
I'm from EU and they were HUGE in 2000-2012. It is still a thing but not that much. but high schoolers go there when they skip school :D I still sometime play CSGO online with some1 who is in there...even at 5AM. WTF?! :D Anyway thanx for the review. I will order them for gaming and I have some good HP's but they are not really that comfortable for long time gaming. Mic sounds awesome for a cheap headset. cheers
You encouraged me to buy the sabrent usb card, and then consider the bm-800. I bought the easy g2000. I was sad that no one did a good review on it. To find this. Like!
+Vikturu * CS:GO And More The headsets microphone is what I used. I plugged into the Sabrent USB Audio adapter to connect to my computer since it does not have 3.5mm inputs. I did not post processing of the recorded signal, so what you hear is what was recorded directly onto my computer.
Most folks have the mic to close to their mouths and it results in audio distortion. The default distance the mic sits with this headset provides optimum audio quality.
what you are still discontented about it ? it is perfect. what is 'SO'bad on hearing a little bit of around sounds ? I used em and thei are the best headphones i ever used. the olastic construction is not bad
+Podcastage The Problem is. My Computer dont find my headset. Not at sound . every time i try i can only hear and cant use the micro. other have the Problem
+Doizt | Der mit der Maske I understand what your problem is. I do not know how your headset is connected to your computer. Are you connecting using the computer's built in audio ports, or are you using a USB Audio Adapter? I have not heard anyone else complaining of this issue, so I have no idea where to start.
Doizt | Der mit der Maske I have never tested out a TRRS adapter with this, so I am uncertain if it works. Are you sure that your computer provides a TRRS 3.5mm Input Jack?
the USB part is probably a power cord because those headphones might be for gaming because ur controller isnt gonna have the output to power the heaphones
My laptop only has one hole for headphones so how do I use microphone and headphone or does microphone work and wi5out headphone you can still hear what other people say
+Retro JKT I'm definitely hoping to be able to start to test out higher quality and higher price microphones. Unfortunately, if I'm looking at $70-$100 mics every week... I would not be eating. HA! But eventually I will look into these higher end mics. I am not a huge fan of USB mics though.
That headset looks extremelyu close to my headset. The difference is mine is made of some thing else (it's not glossy), it doesn't have a logo on the side, it's only usb cable, no lether thing on the ear cups it's fabric (same with the headrest), the speakers are 50mm, it costs around 80$, mine is 7.1 surround sound (I don't know about the one in the video), it comes in a box, it's from Trust. Okay a whole lot is different but the basic outside design is the same.
could it be my adapter thing thats making my mic quiet because i have one but i can literally only hear myself if i shout. its fine if i put my mouth right on it but i cant exactly do that whilst theyre on my head can i.
There is a flaw in the design of these headphones. The piece of plastic that holds the extender in place is paper thin. It is the V shape of plastic on the inside above the earphone.
+CookiePlayzYT It has headphone and microphone plug separate. This is listed right on the amazon page: This Headphone Can NOT Compatible With PS4, PS3, XBOX 360, ONLY used for laptop, computer.
Hey! I liked your review.Can you tell me do you recommend these headphones?Because I like them they have a nice look to them.But the main question is do you recommend them for gaming etc.?
@Gavin Kushmaul, the Raptor HS30's are essentially the exact same headset as the HS40 (which I tested. THe only difference is the interface they use). Based on how much I hated the sound of the HS40's mic, I can't imagine any better situation on the cheaper model. I'm sorry I"m going to have to pass on the HS30's. www.legitreviews.com/corsair-raptor-hs30-hs40-gaming-headsets-reviewed_131440
If you google this headphones and look at the first amazon link, this is in the product description: "THIS HEADPHONE IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH PS4, PS3, XBOX 360, only for laptop, computer."
That's a TRRS plug. It has mic output and headphone output. So you need to have a computer with a single 3.5mm input for both...or you need to buy a splitter.
I just received the G2000. Unfortunately, there are only two cable. There is a USB cable and a 3.5 mm cable. The sound works fine but the microphone does not work at all. can you help me ?
+piogg There should be two 3.5 mm plugs (one for microphone input, and one for headphones). If there's only one...I don't know what to tell you because that's not how mine is.
piogg I have no idea how or why but you may be got TRRS plug so you would need to plug it into a computer that has a single 3.5mm port for mic and headphones. Or get an adapter. But this is just a theory. I had no idea they made this with a single 3.5mm jack. Sorry man.
+kiwiboy02 sub par is just a way of saying that the object or service in question is worse than the normal standards of quality. For example, MadCatz GameCube controllers are sub par, but first party GameCube controllers have a good build quality.
i AM A bit late but am i able to connect it to xbox 360 via an adapter and make it give me gameplay audio from it( From the Benq Monitor)? Please Answer
i have the same headset and the mic sounds low and bassey i dont get how yours is so crisp and clear plus i cant even hear my own voice when i talk shit is way to noise cancely and no i dont plug them into a sound card or anything
ahh ok awesome. im trying to buy the damn syba usb sound card and its a add on so it wont let me just buy it itself i gotta add other add on items to it for me to buy it -_- is there any other way to buy it
alright my sabrent usb came in and i set it up but it still has a beeping/background noise and still the mic is really low. when i talk it in it only goes up 1 bar in recording devices :(
I bought this headset and it was delivered yesterday. I was going to chat with my friends today on ps4 and they were not working. I am confused on which jack I put into the controller. The red one with the audio symbol or the black one with the headphone symbol. I used the black one to play a game and I could hear the game clearly. Then I tried to talk to my friends with the black one and when I joined there party I could not hear anything and I could not talk to them either. Then I used the red one, both times it said that I had a mic connected. The red one did not work either. What am I doing wrong I also turned up the volume it did nothing. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME
+BlasianGamin' I will throw it on my review list, but it won't be for a while. I will get to it ASAP. And it has grown with the help of awesome people like you watching and requesting reviews. =) So, Thank you.
bought this headset yesterday and happy with the quality of the headset! but when I tried the microphone, there's a super loud buzzing noise :( why is it ? anyone knows? :(
came to see mic quality. seems DAMN good
It says it is the best seller in Amazon for mic
works for ps4?
i use a ps4 with this headset and can't get it to work with an audio splitter. However, i haven't tried the usb adapter that he uses so might work.
the usb is only for the lights D:
The Incapable Gamer I think this headset is mainly used for Pc
omg no way the mic is soo good
DUDE! How do you only have 298 subs? Your videos are so damn professional! Trust me you're going to be big one day.
Thank you so much! By the way, you hands down have the best name j have ever seen on RUclips. If I had a trophy for that, I would send it to you. :)
Podcastage Haha xD
Yolo Swaggington tou were right!
Hyperactivy holy crap man didn't realize it has been over a year since I found this channel and I still watch it!
Yolo Swaggington 27k subs later
plug the USB in, take the headphones of look at the sides and you'll be surprised
Gav Rai Ik but I thought they would light up even when there not plugged in can they light up even if there not plugged in
no
+Gav Rai-- Oh, I'm not falling for THAT trick again!!
Omar ABDIRAHMAN how would they light up without being plugged in
Lights
Plastic, though it looks cheap, is actually a pretty light material. Lighter materials for long gaming sessions seems like a pretty good idea!
Even if I'm still able to hear the world around me, that may not be such a bad thing. definitely considering this :)
I think word "light" or maybe "not heavy" arent words you want to use with these headphones/set
This shit is heavy and might hurt your neck
The mic quality is surprisingly good.
Mic seems to be pretty good for a $20 headset. Thank you for actually using it during your review.
The USB is for the lights on the Headset
But when I plug it in it either turns off my computer or doesn't do anything
same
You need to plug it in to a powered USB port
you remove the noise of the microphone?
+TheAxelGamer No I did not. It's raw audio.
@@PodcastageWHAAA THATS GOOD FOR 24 BUCXKS

were you using headphone mic in this video?

+Podcastage no problem
Were you using the headsets mic the whole video?
The adapter is for the Microphone and the headphone ?

Okay thx u
that usb is there for it to light up
I got this mic for myself and im glad my favorite Mic reviewer did somthing on it

it's for led
Hello! The USB there is used for lights on the side.
How do I fix my mic not working with this mic
Perhaps you're using the usb cable only? If so, use the 3.5 cable.
I just ended up throwing this mic away and bought myself a hyperx core
You go into control panel sounds/recording and check see disabled devices. You will see it listed. Select it and all should work just fine.
How come your MICROPHONE sounds soo GOOD ?
Mine has white noise for starters.
Does it feel light and bad quality?
Yes it does.
Podcastage thanks.
Podcastage didn't know if u we're going to reply because it's 1 year old.
I get a notification for every comment.
Podcastage I understand that but I thought u just wouldn't care.
is it surround 7.1 ?
did u use the mic in this video? did u edit the sound or was it fully original?

"so what you hear is what was recorded directly onto my computer"
In Podcastage we trust. (for all audio needs at least) (and box throws)
oh wow. this ain't bad!
+LouisM Yeah. I was pleasantly surprised, one thing I don't like is that the microphone is not fully articulating.
Most folks have the mic to close to their mouths and it results in audio distortion. The default distance the mic sits with this headset provides optimum audio quality.
This was a really helpful video. I like how you did the video with the actual mic. Thanks!
watching this video with these headphones
lol
Fahad Adan same lol
fahad adan Are the Headphones good?
how good is bass ?
fahad adan is it goo
Same mine are orange
Is it good?
im pretty sure there are gaming cafes in south korea xD
That mic quality butters my croissant. I'm still deciding between G9000 and G2000
gaming cafe?
I go to the Cyber Café
The usb is supposed to be for LED lights on the headphone, does it work?
they have no bass tho :(
hey is it comfortable
Gaming cafes are indeed a thing, although they're more commonly known as internet cafes. Particularly popular in Asia.
Thanks For The review I decided to purchase the Headset and I’m very Happy thank you!!
what you are still discontented about it ? it is perfect. what is 'SO'bad on hearing a little bit of around sounds ? I used em and thei are the best headphones i ever used. the olastic construction is not bad
yes gaming cafes are there in Korea

Many thanks!
the USB part is probably a power cord because those headphones might be for gaming because ur controller isnt gonna have the output to power the heaphones
How good is the quality. And if your listing to music is it loud
The usb is for the lighting on the headphones
My laptop only has one hole for headphones so how do I use microphone and headphone or does microphone work and wi5out headphone you can still hear what other people say
Which Headset out of all the Headsets you've reviewed so far do you think has the best Sound and Mic quality overall?
The ART2500 I bought is so good for a $70 USB microphone, it is really good in my opinion!
+Retro JKT I'm definitely hoping to be able to start to test out higher quality and higher price microphones. Unfortunately, if I'm looking at $70-$100 mics every week... I would not be eating. HA! But eventually I will look into these higher end mics. I am not a huge fan of USB mics though.
Thanks a bunch! These videos are super helpful! :) I particularly like the mic on this one.
Yeah for the price it's pretty dang good.
Can you remove the wire and plug in again?..Sorry for my English.
That headset looks extremelyu close to my headset.

Does it echo because I have them but whenever I’m in a party someone always has an echo and I don’t know if it’s me or not.
could it be my adapter thing thats making my mic quiet because i have one but i can literally only hear myself if i shout. its fine if i put my mouth right on it but i cant exactly do that whilst theyre on my head can i.
Could be. I have used the Sabrent & Syba Stereo adapters and they seemed to work well.
i may as well try a better adapter before i get more headphones then since i got this one on ebay for £1 aha,
i got this headset and the mic doesn't seem to be working, i got the audio splitter too idk what is wrong can you please help???
There is a flaw in the design of these headphones. The piece of plastic
that holds the extender in place is paper thin. It is the V shape of

The usb is for the LED lights on the headset
The usb works you just need to be more tech savvy just go to the settings usb option and allow the headset connection very easy...
Which headset is the best and the cheapest?
do i need an adapter for my ps4 for it to work
No idea. Never used a PS4.
I'm looking to getting my first gaming headset, would this be a good introductory headset?
I used the mic in audacity but it dint come out as good as ures
i got it but my mic is a bit quiet.. what shall i do someone respond asap as i need to know if i should return within a week or so
gaming cafes are actually extremely popular(at least used to be) in my country
the USB cable is for the Led lights on the headset
U didn’t know about gaming cafes? Wow u live under a rock
the USB out lit is for the lights on the headset.
The USB cable is for the LED lights on the headset
the USB thing on the headphones are for the lighting
how do i fix my G2000 headset beacuse i cant hear anything it just go blank
Is this headset still good in 2018
i have the same but i cant use my microphone how to u use them?
wait and I plug the input and output into the xbox adapter?

My headset only has 2 cables. A usb cable and a headphone cable ?? Pls help

+Podcastage its ok ! I will return it to amazon on monday and I am going to buy the g2000 with 3 cable. thank you dude
Thanks so much for doing this video, I know its been three years but it really helped! +1 like
why G2000 most are same in all video but if I check them out in amazon they are many different kinds of G2000 what is the differnce?
I don't think there is a difference. I believe they are mass produced and then sold to different companies to sell.
the usb audio adapter makes the sound of the microphones and headphones better then it is as it supplies 5 volts of phantom power
The USB makes the headphones and the mic glow blue
+Rahomiz1 Thank you very much! I'm dumb and didn't notice that. HAHA!
+Podcastage no problem👍
No not the one on the headset the adapter he attaches the 3.5mm jacks too
+Marco Freire i had These b4 and the USB makes them light
Hows the bass and sound quality?
i got a red one for 13 bucks on wish works great and only 13 dollars so happy i made this choice
Great deal!
does it fit comfortably ?
1:33 how did he spoke ? without headset
ok :D so u prefer this headset ?
+meine culting @Marco Freire is exactly right. It is recorded using the crappy webcam microphone. Yes, I like this headset.
is the mic quality good ? will it work for youtube videos ?
Wow. That is a very good mic quality.
+Kiwiboy02 No. Why? Would you consider it sub par to other microphone headsets in its price range?

alright my sabrent usb came in and i set it up but it still has a beeping/background noise and still the mic is really low. when i talk it in it only goes up 1 bar in recording devices :(
Does the mic sound the same as the G9000? because the G9000 is the higher end model that supports 7.1 surround (and should have better sound quality)

is it louder in one side of the ear or is it the same in both ears?
+Unstoppable44 Should be the same in both ears.
oh, bcuz normally with "cheap headsets" the side with the wire is the louder side
