Thanks a lot! My Daughter should love these for her first set of gaming headsets. I built her a nice gaming rig and is mostly all Corsair so iCue runs everything and I have been trying to keep it as simple as possible for her with it being her first Windows PC. These sound like once she learns the controls she will get good use out of these
Now you see why Joe´s reviews are different from the rest...that plexiglass demonstration of the pad compression and how will affect the comfort and quality sound are what makes this channel different than others...."small details makes a big difference", thanks Joe.
DO NOT BUY THESE HEADPHONES. Very common issue where the mic randomly goes to max volume screeching. your team mates and discord friends will hate you. Google Corsair hs55 microphone screeching.
I've never seen anyone else do a proper section on glasses comfort. What headsets do you think are glasses friendly? Any add on ear cups that would make a difference?
There are quite a few that work well with glasses, but some definitely do not. The new Nova 1 through 7s, Recon 500, Stealth 700 G2, HS80 come to mind as good for glasses
You should try Final Audio VR3000.IEM designed for GAMING in Japan with great sound stage ,imaging and spatiality.They cost only 70$.I stop using my pc38x,hd560,penroseX because Final VR3000 are much more comfortable and immersion is superb.You will be suprised how big sound stage is for a IEM!
@Jeff Kantu The VR3000s were designed specifically for soundstage. The soundstage is so surprisingly wide that people literally compare it to an open back headphone like the DT990. They also do have a mic. I own the CHU's BTW and they are great but they have almost no soundstage.
@Jeff Kantu soundstage,flat sound profile with nice quick punchy base,clear mids and detailed highs.They are designed for virtual reality and games that why they are special.No other IEM are designed for gaming.And Final Audio from Japan is a company who know how to make a great headphones and IEM’s.I was sceptical but they sound in games better than my ultrasone iq IEM worth 1000$
Spectacular video! The amount of detail it offers just for a headset review is kind of amazing. I've been using hyperx stuff for the longest, but now I'm looking at this HS55 Wireless core for two reasons: 1. Found them pretty cheap (like 25$ factory refurbished) 2. My Cloud II Wireless are basically broken and rn I don't have a lot of money to spend on a replacement. How do they compare (sound quality wise) to the Cloud II Wireless or any other similar headset?
Dont buy it guys, I bought to my girlfriend and is a piece of shit. Better micro thn others, nowadays is wierd find a bad micro... Other hand AND HORRIBLE WAY TO WASTE MONEY: So many times his micro broke, and start to hear her with a lot static... Like a robot, and ye, we tried a lot of solutions but this problem is so random ... All those test that this guy does to buy it and want to burn them since I give it as a present.... 👎🏽👎🏽
This thing is super prone to wireless interference on the WiFi side. Getting Bluetooth to connect was complicated. I had to use the iCue software AND windows settings both to get it to "see" the stupid thing.
Hi I just ordered the EPOS H6pro bundled with the gsx 300 based on your video about wired Headsets, can I load a sound profile in the DAC in the PC and use it on my PS5 by connecting the GSX 300 into the console? I've been looking for this and can't find it anywhere, thanks for your videos
Thanks for the review Joe! Just an fyi, I have seen this headset only sold at Target so far (besides the Corsair site). Question for you: which do you think is the better headset between to Epos H3Pro Hybrid and Astro A30 wireless? Maybe I should just get this Corsair one lol.
Dang that's tough! H3PRO hybrid has better sound quality and mic, but occasional connection bugs. If it works fine for you, it's the superior headset. A30 has better features (simultaneous BT) though and works on many platforms.
@@GadgetryTech thanks for the reply! I tried the H3 before, but also had some connection issues. I was just thinking of giving them another go since they are on sale for $200. What do you think from a comfort level?
Anyway, it could possibly be used with Xbox? I know Xbox is picky to get wireless headsets to work with. I know it's not listed but I figured doesn't hurt to ask..
When I'm in discord I am constantly muted because the rest of the gang hears awful, unpleasant sounds on my end. Pretty bummed as I spent eighty fk dollars on it. Any thoughts?
could you make a video on how to eq any headphones tutorial? I was also wondering if there was a way to pull the default eq settings of comapany and apply said settings onto an entirely different kind of headphones? i have dt990s for daily drivers and the highs can be unbareable. I wanna fix that but I dont want to just settle for a "gaming equalizer" like sonar.
bro you just saved me, when you said that you change into Bluetooth to the CR I did not know that, it I had it on only Bluetooth the entire time and I did not know, again thank you for saying that, since other videos don't say that and the manual did not really say anything about that feature.
I really need your help. I need a new Headset for PC which must be wireless. I can choose between the Astro A50 Gen4 , SS Arctis 9 or Arctis Nova 7. can you please suggest a headset? I already got the Astro A50 but it hurts somehow on my head after 2 hours. Maybe I try the Mod kit but would you recommend the Steelseries more Than the Astro? By the way. Absolute awesome Video like always thanks for all your work!
I use SteelSeries headsets when I’m wearing my glasses mainly because they don’t have that crushing pressure on my ears and a set of wicked cushions come in hand
I haven't tried the Quantum yet but I was thinking of buying one to see how it sounds. I just bought 3-4 other models this past week though so it will be a bit
Hi the review is awesome. Just a question I am between this hs55 corsair (find at 80 euro) and the hs80 corsair(find at 100euro). Which is better in sound quality? I play only on ps5 story games or fps. I don't care about Bluetooth. Thank you
Thanks! HS55 is more bass forward. Tons of deep bass. The HS80 is a bit light on bass but the mid range is more clear. It could come down to preference.
@@GadgetryTech thank you for the answer. and what about hs80 vs astro a40 always only about sound quality? By the way you're the best reviewer thank for your job mate.
@@lorenzoalescio3160 for any kind of competitive play, I like the Astro more for sure. HS80 is just super comfy and convenient. It’s more of a casual headset with an excellent mic but it’s reliable. Isn’t the A40 a bit higher on your budget?
@@GadgetryTech I found A40 Tr wired on Amazon at 96euro. Hs80 is 100euro. I don't care about wireless or wired. I play only on ps5 more story games like horizon elden ring ghost of thushima etc and sometimes fps warzone returnal. I just want a headset That is good in sound quality for different games and Iam not a lot competive. Between these two, they have the same price, which one do suggest me to pick, which is better? Thank you Joe
I would stay away from corsair. in process of returning a K100 and a dark core mouse. I will NEVER buy a corsair product again. me personally. corsair had to go out of the way to get the k100 lights to not react to audio. im going out of my way to return it. along with the mouse. just think to show your friends your lights are synced to your audio they would have to come in and put on headphones does that make sense to you? im so happy i did not go with corsair ram after learning this...
It's mainly to spare you the site of my balding head for the review lol. When I test any headset for extended hours, I'm never wearing a hat. A hat can negatively impact the sound quality as well
Trying to find the best gaming headset for my bf as a gift, but I am feeling lost.. What do you recommend for a wireless headset that is suitable with most gaming platforms? Not the cheapest, but not from the more expensive ones.. thanks!
I was searching and trying some of myself month ago to replace my broken Playstation Platinum (which I loved o lot). Went cheap with Pulse 3D and returned them after day trying (you get what you pay for). Got me Arctics Nova 7p and it’s night and day. Only one thing I’m missing from PS headset is chat/game volume control. Other than that it’s best buy for your buck.
Can't wait for your next headset review. Keep up the good work!
Awesome review. You clearly did more than discuss the manufacturer discussion points.
Thanks a lot! My Daughter should love these for her first set of gaming headsets. I built her a nice gaming rig and is mostly all Corsair so iCue runs everything and I have been trying to keep it as simple as possible for her with it being her first Windows PC.

Thanks so much!

Love it Joey! I am so proud of you for crushing it with these videos! Best reviews BY FAR
This video is amazingly thorough and I appreciate your honesty! Subbed
Thanks so much!
Thanks for the video! Just bought it for 60€.
I really want to upgrade the ear pads on these I have the HS55 core using for my PS5. I’ve heard bad things about the mic. I picked mine up for $70usd
I've never seen anyone else do a proper section on glasses comfort.

There are quite a few that work well with glasses, but some definitely do not. The new Nova 1 through 7s, Recon 500, Stealth 700 G2, HS80 come to mind as good for glasses
@@GadgetryTech thanks for that. That helps push those Nova up in my preference. I'll have a look at the others too.
Great in depth review.
thanks!
Got these new for 50$ should be here soon so I’ll let you know how I like it .

Are they good for teaching on Zoom or Google Meet?
I noticed a significant increase in audio quality with these.
Anyway, it could possibly be used with Xbox? I know Xbox is picky to get wireless headsets to work with. I know it's not listed but I figured doesn't hurt to ask..
They don’t work for Xbox Series S
When I'm in discord I am constantly muted because the rest of the gang hears awful, unpleasant sounds on my end. Pretty bummed as I spent eighty fk dollars on it. Any thoughts?
i got this headset but it’s started to flash blue and red and won’t connect to my playstation like it used to
Between these and the Logitech g535 which is better?
Most likely the logi, but the Logitech is In a completely different price point. In that price point I’d recommend a hyperx over that.
g535 is def a steal if you get it on sale
could you make a video on how to eq any headphones tutorial?

Hey this video is old but my headset is stuck in bluetooth mode

Which mode is the fps mode the 4th beep or what?
How do they compare to Virtuoso XT?
👍🏻

By the way. Absolute awesome Video like always thanks for all your work!
I forgot to tell you I use it 60% for RUclips and music 30% for gaming and 10% for discord only chats.
I use SteelSeries headsets when I’m wearing my glasses mainly because they don’t have that crushing pressure on my ears and a set of wicked cushions come in hand
Nova 7 is so good for people with glasses
Ive seen this headset at Target and their site only so far. Also have you used the JBL Quantum 810 ?
I haven't tried the Quantum yet but I was thinking of buying one to see how it sounds. I just bought 3-4 other models this past week though so it will be a bit
When u will announce the giveaway results
Later today! I’ll announce something soon on the community tab.
Does it work well with ps5 Tempest 3D audio?
It sucks well yes I have these
@@Dark_Ukiyo I got the SteelSeries nova 7 instead

Sigh…Corsair just cannot spread any wireless love to us Xbox owners can they?
I really hope 2023 is the time we get a new one! It has to happen!
@@GadgetryTech you would think they would. Especially considering it’s easier to find a Series X/S nowadays.
Just a tip bro, remove your hat when trying comfort on a headset since not everyone wears a hat when wearing a headset. Thanks
Me too, I wear a hat
It's mainly to spare you the site of my balding head for the review lol. When I test any headset for extended hours, I'm never wearing a hat. A hat can negatively impact the sound quality as well
Can you do review on HD800s??
I've thought about it. It's been reviewed so much I'm not sure what value my video would be so it's a tough one
Trying to find the best gaming headset for my bf as a gift, but I am feeling lost.. What do you recommend for a wireless headset that is suitable with most gaming platforms? Not the cheapest, but not from the more expensive ones.. thanks!
Try the Steelseries Nova 7X or Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen2 Max. Both good multiplatform headsets.
What @garethg8226 said is right on the money. This should help… ruclips.net/video/PThAJ49BMmU/видео.html

The Stealth 700 Gen 2 Max were on sale for$139.99 and they would be a perfect choice.
