For those wondering, the blind testing DMS and I did was a vid that never saw the light of day, even though we did use some clips from those sessions in other videos. It's a concept we'd like to revisit at some point since the outcomes were interesting.
From what DMS was saying, it sounded like you were slowly turning until you heard the enemy in the center of your screen. I wonder if it would be more effective, with regards to getting a better sense of the soundstage, to have the aimer try to flick towards the origin of the noise. Then, the aimer could also adjust from the faster motion after judging the initial movement.
I was dying to know what everyone else picked haha!! It was kept a secret until this vid dropped and the takes were great as always. Thanks for including me!
@@krakentortoise7531 thanks! Not a super fan of recent updates but the physics engine is great. The sound is also awesome, so as a whole, it has just enough content to keep me happy when ever I have the time for sim racing.
@@clarkianturnerit’s a cheap shot really, people hate that he actually reviews the product and doesn’t give some 💩 video that focuses more on production and lighting and fancy transitions and actually focuses on the product, and that really seems to annoy some people
Kudos to giving Joe@Gadgetry Tech some exposure. His headphone reviews are always top notch and his personal EQ expertise just changes some of these headsets so much
I’m shocked people thought that original video was sponsored. Maybe it’s just cause I have experience with a lot of different stuff too, but I knew coming into that it was going to be “800s, 800s, 800s” over and over again. How are you lot meant the help the fact it’s just good shit? Regardless, great video!
Haha yeah we also found it kind of odd that the “accessible flagship” from a company focused on audio since 1945 would raise so many eyebrows, but people love to think us RUclipsrs cant have an opinion without a check attached.
None of the creators there are actually gamers though and if you play games like starcraft any headset/headphone will do. Most looking for good headphones want to be on edge when it comes to fps, not boomer games like age of empire
Love the video. One criticism: all of you recommend headphones for "competitive" gaming. But I think a lot of us don't care about competing at all, and just want something that will make the game experience stand out. Would be good to have recommendations that don't just boost the upper range to make footsteps more pronounced.
Well competitive players need amazing audio to hear everything so yeah, if it’s amazing for competitive gaming it’s gonna be amazing for anything else you do
I've personally been very pleased with Hifiman's HE400SE. It's affordable at around 100 USD, reasonably well built, and sounds great. It's the cheapest over ear planar magnetic I'm aware of. That being said, the earcups while lovely and deep do get warm if you're in a hotter climate, and it does need a bit of punch to drive due to the lower SPL. But the open soundstage and distinct planar bass really sets it apart in that price range.
I use crinacles red IEMs and they’re so good for the price it’s ridiculous. I use them when I play starcraft, they’re great for playing retro games (I play on the miyoomini), they’re great for travel and playing music on my phone. I find them to be very comfortable over long periods of time too Great video!
Zeos is dope, my go to for a unique take on things compared to everyone else who tends to be same same on opinions. I think though, having Zeos feature in a video is like trying to show your parents Anime for the first time, they are going to be confused, weirded out and a little concerned for you and your sanity but at the end of the day we love Anime and we love Zeos.
The Zeos thing is weird to me because Badseed tech posted it. Meaning he saw the video before publishing it on youtube. He could have blurred it or asked Zeos to do it. Why post it and try to save face by crapping on Zeos? I get that his picture are a bit much but youre just as associated to that video as he was. FYI still no edits to the original video as of now. If its that much of a problem then fix it.
Personally prefer IEM:s for gaming, not as hot on my head during the summer months and as I am getting older, I get more details I otherwise tend to miss in games where foot steps etc. comes from. Rocking Moondrop Aria 2 for IEMS with Moondrop Chu 2 as backups. Highly recommend switching the ear tips to Spinfits to not get itching in the ear canals and to be able to spend 8+ hrs on your R6 or Minecraft sesh!
i still have my first pair of Sennheiser HD 555's, the first pair of decent headphones I ever bought. must be close to 15 years old now, they still work like they did on day 1, still using them. i've had 2 other pairs of more modern gaming headsets in that time which have both broken with use, they didnt last long maybe lasting a year or so. build quality is extremely important
mine were sitting on my guitar amp for years and my dumbass never thought to use them for gaming they will be benchmarked soon against my Turtle beach stealth pros and senheiser momentum 4 buds and razer blackshark v2 pros.
I am not an audiophile, but a gamer. My previous headphones which is more affordable was the DT880 250 Ohm. Now I use the DT1990Pro, which is a straight upgrade from the DT880. For a mic I use the Modmic5 for a long time now. There is also a reason I don't use any headphones/mics with any kind on knob or dial or button, they tend to fail very early on. I had ALL! mics and headphones/headsets fail on the volume dial/mute switch (including the Modmic5, but that switch was optional), making them near unuseable after just 1-2 years. (especially Sennheiser, used many of their gaming headsets back in the day). And the funny thing is, I barely even used these dials/switches. I use the windows volume/mutes. And I do care for my headphones. I place them either on my head or on the stand and thats it. No throwing or placing them down hard. Bluetooth headphones also have some lag in them, but some people just can't notice it.
Finding your channel back in 2021 was actually a "game changing" experience for me. As someone who used to game on with soundbar audio wanting a more loud, explosive, "cinematic" experience. I can say that after I purchased a set of PC37X along with a DAC, I can't see myself playing any other way. Weather it's multi-player or single player. Although I miss the explosiveness and vibration from a sub, I much more prefer the details with the headset. Also the great thing about open back IMO is not being completely shut offf from the world. I always like that I'm aware of my surroundings, and living in a rather "loud" house, by no means does it affect my gameplay negatively.
How loud is the sound leakage? In a quiet room, if you are listening to music, can a person sitting 2meters away from you in the same room hear what you are hearing?
After looking at Audeze Maxwell videos for over six months, including BADSEED's video, my wife ordered me some from Crutchfield. While they do sound incredible, both ear cups now make the annoying scratchy sound if I touch the cups or move my head. It all started the moment I hit both my ear cups lightly out of frustration when the USB CONNECTED voice came over at 5X the volume of what I was listening to. It made me jump and gave me adrenaline. I did find the voice volume setting in the app after that and lowered it significantly but it deserved a good smacking for scaring me. Ever since that moment they have the very well documented (on forums) annoying scratchy sound. They still work and sound great....as long as I don't touch the ear cups or move at all which is kind of NUTS to me for $330 with tax. I did purchase then return the Steel series top of the line headphones first: -their pc audio app did all kinds of bizarre things -the ear cups were just too small -the built in noise cancelling mic was too close to my ears -ear cups made my ears over heat
I just order hd660s2 for gaming around 17 hours a go 😊 i get it later to day. I use hd650 for 15+ yrs I use soundblaster ae-7 and super with hd650 in FPS. To bad i miss out soundblaster ae-9 😢
I just bought the Audeze Maxwell - anyone else have a weird crackling sound when listening to ANY audio? I have them on 6/100 for volume, so I have no idea why it's doing this. If there's a fix I'd love to know and greatly appreciate it. Additionally, for whatever reason the Audeze HQ software won't pick up my headphones? No matter what connection I use they just don't show up.
I also got the maxwells, and they do have crackling sound, it's something from the planar itself, it's so thin that if you do much pressure once, they'll get that defect permanently, i really like the maxwells but the crackling it's way too irritating to hear, at least for me, as for the software, unplug and plug again the dongle, that fixed it for me
Send those back immediately. I've seen this issue pop up on reddit and can't remember if it was some sort of software or hardware issue I've had mine for a few months, don't daily drive them but they are the best wireless headphones on the market (for gaming).
That's a hardware defect, better get those replaced. Main reason I still stick with dynamic drivers for gaming since they can take a beating without taking damage.
I'm still gaming on my semi-open-back Superlux HD681 headphones + Antlion Modmic after watching Tek Syndicate's video about 8 years ago. My only complaint is the elastic headband cords wore out, but my head is so large that this is irrelevant. Even the ear pads are still in like-new condition, in spite of my heavy 5-o'clock shadow rubbing against them all the time. I have since tried the SHP9500 and the HyperX Cloud Alpha, but neither of them compare for me.
many thanks for these vids, man! I picked up the drop PC38X headset about a year ago (maybe less) in part due to these colabs. I normally use wireless sets because I HATE cords - the bother the freaking heck out of me. That said, the sound of these things is GREAT. And I've gotten more than a few comments in-game about how good the mic quality is. Now, if there was a way to get that cord off of my body, it'd be perfect lol Thanks again, man!
I have been using the pc38x since 2021. I had a cloud flight and cloud 2 before that. The hyper x headsets were nice and loud, but it does not compare to the pc38x. The mic is also great but I seldom use it
After spending a lot of money on headphones and IEMs, I learned two things. The DAC matters, but doesn't need to be expensive like the Topping DX3 PRO. I prefer IEMs over Headphones due to weight and nothing on my head. IEMs are only as good as the TIPS you add to them, and this can be challenging at some point (they sound completly different from Tip to Tip). After spending so much money, I now add wireless earbuds. Why? I'm getting annoyed by cables, the weight and I like the Transparency mode of Wireless Earbuds for calls or if I want to understand waht's going on in my flat. Will try out Apple Airpods today …. But don't think they work due to latency.
I don’t know if I got a dud, but going from a PC38x to a Maxwell because I missed having wireless from my old Arctic pro wireless, I had heard such positive reviews of the maxwells but I had to return them, the sound was harsh to me and sounded awful compared to the pc38x, there is no beating the open back sound in my opinion I had a hard time locating sounds in CS2 with the maxwells, where it feels like I can see through walls with the pc38x, also a side note is that my friends hated the microphone on the maxwells? I might try them out again, I really liked the battery life they had and the dongle with usb c, definitely premium headphones
@@cgnefarious5785 was bouta ask the same thing. Not sure if I should get a budget wireless for $130 or say fuck it and buy $300 headset. But I need a 1440p monitor which is like $250. Crazy how headphones cost so much.
6:16 The thing about Bose is that it has a lot of input latency. That means sounds come like 200 ms after they happen in the game. That is not nice when gaming. Trust me, I really tried getting used to gaming with the Sony MX4, but I just couldn't.
I completely agree with the choice of headphones, I use the EPOS PC38X mainly for FPS games, the Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO X for more atmospheric games like Helldivers 2 and rarely the Truthear ZERO:RED because they are too big for my ears. To make both headphones more comfortable I added ear cushions from wicked cushions. Hope that helps somebody out there.
Thanks man! I tried 700 pro x for FPS and it was average. Now I’m leaning towards PC38X. Do you use any EQ for Warzone? Appreciate the suggestion. Thanks!
yep my headphone pick is also DT770 Pro 80ohm plus Dekoni pads pure bliss you literally forget you are with headphones and the sound is just great i still haven't found anything that can beat DT770 Pro 80ohm when it comes to comfort, sound and price to performance but you definitely need Dekoni pads
@@andrenordengen5163 DT 900 Pro X is a decent choice considering its price and technicalty, since it is an all-arounder for music and gaming. Though I do think the soundstage front and back might not be wide as left and right.
i've been using the audio technica ad1000x for over 8 years and they still freak me out with how open and immersive they are, i also got a sub woofer at some point and the amount of times i take my headphones off to make sure the sound wasnt in my house is crazy i did recently get into iems and i get the hype, you just hear everything, even though its a lot harder for me to pin point the locations of the sounds, great for games like cs or valorant but not my favorite for something like tarkov my next purchase is probably going to be the new dusk iem, first dip into multi driver iems and nicer iems in general, right now im using the starfields which are nice but im noticing a lot of "could be better" things about them
I've just stumbled across this video and thought I'd check in to see what's the latest and greatest as I have been the proud owner of PC360 Game One for ages. Nice to see Sennheiser still rocking it...I am not surprised.
@@ZReviews For what it's worth man, I appreciate your video style. It's very unique and personal. It's a brand of RUclips content that feels a bit rarer these days; It feels like it'd exist regardless of monetization- like old school RUclips. Your genuine love for audio and personality really shines through. 👍👍
I am new to the tech youtuber space, and your comment about Zeos being a type of "file" other than audiophile really sounded like you were insinuating that he was a pedofile. I went to google and reddit and tried to find any evidence or even claims of your insinuation and wasn't able to find anything supporting it. Is that a pretty serious thing to joke about? Esp. when you aren't featuring him in your video? and accompanying it with the "yikes" reaction you and that other guy gave? I'm genuinely confused by this.
i currently own hd560s i was thinking of getting maxwell or dt990 pro. i mainly play on ps5, fps games (warzone comp). i sometimes play valorant on pc. only problem i got with my hd560s is theyre 120ohms and ps5 doesnt support that without an amp so i feel like my sound isnt as good or as high? would like some feedback.
How loud is the sound leakage in the 560s? In a quiet room, if you are listening to music, can a person sitting 2meters away from you in the same room hear what you are hearing?
@ its pretty bad tbh. i like running my music on high volume and everyone around me can hear what im listening to. if you like running your music half way its kinda acceptable but it still leaks quiet a bit.
Any thoughts on Turtle Beach Atlas Air? Gadgetry tech mentioned sound stage is on par with Maxwell and PC38x plus they are open back and top tier comfort
Feels like a really low blow on Zeos. Whatever you think of anime or it's fans, making hundreds of thousands of people think he might be a pedo over a questionable choice of wallpapers seems unfair.
I was also looking for more information on this. He has always given me a questionable vibe but I don't know of anything. Has he been accused of this in the past? I don't see how bad seed would have thought we would have interpreted that any other way.
@@KingdomKey57 I know I'm a bit late to see the vid... but Zeos is litterally just an anime fan that puts up anime wallpapers in his background. He also does IEM reviews on @in-earfetish.. If you know anything about CHI-FI IEM's, they almost ALL come with anime characters/art on the box. Being an anime weeb is a far & distant cry from a p-phile. Thats like litterally calling all of Japan and most of Asia p-philes. Zeos is a good guy who does great content, sad to see sensitive creators throw him to the wolves. Rather than a comment saying it was a "joke", that should have just been cliped out entirely...
i kinda have to disagree in that my top pick for "money is no object" headphones is for sure the $5000 Yamaha YH5000SE. I mean, if money is no object, its extremely light, just as wide of a soundstage as the HD800S but does not suffer from its thin, bass/sub lacking sound profile. Its stereo positioning and separation is far better as well; this is mainly important for differentiating separate audio cues such as gunshots and footsteps when coming from a similar direction. its obviously 3x the price but it very well deserves the spot if no budget is considered in the first place imo
Nice Vid man I always appreciate the quality here. I was less a fan at the shot at Zeos, in this day and age a joke like that can really harm reputation even if it is a joke it was at his expense and didn't need to be in the video at all.
I have had really good luck with 660S which is close-sounding but excellent sound separation and accuracy, and the Hifiman Ananda Nanos, which offer more bass/subbass and a bigger soundstage while still having excellent accuracy. I noticed a lot of options with bigger soundstage will not have the pinpoint accuracy and so in some games like Valorant it will become a bit vague exactly where someone is, even if you have a general idea of the direction.
Hey Badseed Tech, happy to see Maxwell's pop up few times, I also exchanged quite a few ones and the level of audio you get in Maxwell is unmatched from what you get from competitors. Is indeed a little heavy, but you get used to it after few days, really. Not that big of an issue. The software is working well, absolutely no issues with them whatsoever! I do recommend them as well. They work very well for music, movies and gaming! I was hoping to see some good feedback from Crin but that left me without a comment :)), I wouldn't follow his friend's advice at all. If you care about audio, study a little bit more the market and get something better than just "whatever you like" :)
@@proxyhx2075 The software is still kinda meh, but seriously the sound out of them is really impressive. I have the Sennheiser drop headphones mentioned in the video and the Maxwell's have dominated my life.
Maxwell's comfort depends heavily on how big your head is and if you have a strong neck cause that thing is quite heavy. Most posts on the Audeze sub are complaining about the comfort for a reason. I personally would love to see them release a more lightweight version, the 1 week long battery is really excessive imo
I wonder how the Maxwell's stack up against the DT770(80ohm)'s. I keep thinking to myself that there's no way that the Maxwell's can retain the same level of quality as they're wireless, regardless of being planer magnetic. I had the penrose, but returned them because the quality just wasn't quite on par with my DT770's. Those fine details were lost in translation. Penrose sounded darker and wasn't able to resolve the same level of quality.
Im a fan of hyper X cloud 2 sound, i dont care about mic, can you recommend me something similar to that one ( sound + comfy on ears and noice canceling) but wireless? I gotta change them
The problem with these videos is that some of the people featured have lost the community’s trust by shilling collabs and misleading consumers. Not all of them, but there are some people here with questionable intentions. The fact that this group needs massive disclaimers throughout the video “Hey they’re not getting paid for this” speaks to my point. I come to your channel to get away from many of these guys, the collective honesty within the group of these audiophile “reviewers” here is suspect at best. Hence, the backlash.
Zeos pick is probably the Fiio JT-1 as a $69 open-back headphone that doesn't fall off the low end, with exceptional comfort and audio quality for anything under $200.
i still reference this legendary post from time to time, not as a definitive guide but just as an "are these headphones worth looking into or not" baseline
For me, no gaming headset will ever be worth the money until it has the simultaneous Bluetooth feature of the Arctis Nova line. I love that feature so much that I market it to everyone - my mom even got one for her own use, and she doesn't even play games
Picked up the Tyger several years ago at this point, still my daily driver. I'm constantly switching between gaming and music listening and these hold up super well for basically everything. Easy to drive too.
The most important thing for audio quality is how close the eq curve is to flat as possible.ive tested and calibrated the Logitech pro x and I can say it only has peaks in the 3000hz range which makes it really easy to get good audio detail
Could Gadgetry Tech add the link for the Dekoni Jerzee pads for his EPOS H6 Pro headphones, please? I absolutely love this headset! I have the closed back, for privacy/discretion. I am far from being a pro, but this is my favourite headset yet, for gaming, watching RUclips and making phone calls. I am considering trying the Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro's next. Great video. Thank you BadSeed Tech, from the UK.
I don't know anyone that uses Apple AirPods Pro like me. They connect easily to my pc and I can connect back to them on my phone. I used Sennheiser headphones for years, but got tired of the weight of them and headphone dent lol. Super comfortable though, but they don't beat IEMs.
Idk what the guy is on about.. throwing shots at @ZReviews cheaper than a $50 IEM. I really appreciate all the work Zeos puts into his videos and doesnt need stripper lights to explain audio components. If you guys dont like stuff that someone else likes, doesnt mean he is any lower than you. That man has built his channel with HARD WORK! And he doesnt come after others just because they like something that he doesnt. 😅
Audeze Maxwell is so fudging good! They make my Nova pro wireless sound hollow in comparison. The image is wider on Nova Pro but not by enough. The Maxwell really sounds very close to my HTA9/SW5 surround system so maybe that's why I love them so much. Buy them steal them, they are fire!
5:03 - more people need to do things like this. Not just with headphones but all kinds of products. Come up with a practically relevant test, that is as close to scenarios in your favorite game as possible and then make it quantifiable. Repeat the test several times with the respective products until you have a large enough sample size to compare them objectively. Then draw your conclusion. So many times we simply try to justify a new purchase because we wanted to treat ourselves, have spent a lot of money or just like the look or image of a product when it's not objectively better than what we used before. Goes for mice, mouse pads, keyboards, DACs, headphones, monitors, pretty much anything.
honestly I feel like good sound in terms of media you consume and good sound in terms of competitive games are very very different. it depends on the game of course but rule of thumb is the most important thing to look for in a headphone from a competitive standpoint is NOT footsteps or soundstage (unless you’re playing a soundwhore game like siege) because if you are good at the game you play you will have proper map awareness and it will give you no advantage if you’re GOOD what you should look for is not only seperation but also muting (in a fast paced game) the advantage a good headphone should give you is being able to have clearer audio for utility (most shooters) and abilities (hero shooters) so that you can have a proper understanding of what’s going on and that you can act faster on an opportunity (overwatch example: being able to tell clearly when ana has used her sleep dart without seeing it and without her voiceline triggering is an advantage. knowing where the ana is based off of her footsteps isnt and hearing gunshots LOUDER is just literal noise pollution) so unless you’re actually good you shouldn’t care about an advantage and your idea of an advantage in games is probably flawed so just go with something comfortable that suits you in terms of sound profile and features. the gsp 600’s are the best headphones for me in game but in any scenario that isn’t competitive I use either my thieaudio ghosts because they just suit me very well and my crusher ANC2 because they’re FUN. find a headphone that suits you and your usecase instead of focusing on soundstage and footsteps and all of that because you can hear footsteps accurately enough out of any headphone that isn’t muddy or SHIT
It is disappointing to see the same stuff from a large group like this but at the same time if everyone has the same or similar tastes that you'd see similar recs from the group. Like it feels sad due to lack of options as someone who doesn't have it all and may be interested in trying a thing out but it still just makes sense. I do think what people are using has more potential for difference. We all know zeos is an animephile though lmao I use the beyer 1770s as I'm a fan of closed back and this was my first foray into the pricier options.
Just ordered some HD800s and I got them for a wicked price! can't wait until they come in and I get to try my first real set of Audiophile headphones. Honestly makes me feel pretty decent seeing a lot of these guys also still recommending them even though they seem to be an older headphone. I've been rocking DT990 Pros for like 7 years.
The Yeti Nano is great when paired with IEMs. Essentially, it has a pass-through 3.5mm headphone jack plugged into the base of the Yeti Nano, meaning you get an IEM with your preferred tuning and a good sounding microphone so you are crystal clear and you hear your peeps well.
Thanks for including Joe. Love his vids and the owner of WC(Wicked Cushions) speaks highly of him also on a Personal level. You all do amazing work so again thank you for having him on🤙. Wishing you all a successful and Happy 2024.
Just picked up some Meze 109 Pros after my Beyer 990s died after a long decade of use. Absolutely love them for both gaming and music, and they feel like a cloud on my head. Expensive, but well worth it for gaming, music and content consumption.
These are the cans I want to pick up. I tried them out at an audio shop and loved how comfy they felt and the sound was awesome. I run the Crinicale red IEMs for my steam deck and switch, and the Tygr 300r for my PC.

Well competitive players need amazing audio to hear everything so yeah, if it’s amazing for competitive gaming it’s gonna be amazing for anything else you do
I've personally been very pleased with Hifiman's HE400SE. It's affordable at around 100 USD, reasonably well built, and sounds great. It's the cheapest over ear planar magnetic I'm aware of. That being said, the earcups while lovely and deep do get warm if you're in a hotter climate, and it does need a bit of punch to drive due to the lower SPL. But the open soundstage and distinct planar bass really sets it apart in that price range.
I use crinacles red IEMs and they’re so good for the price it’s ridiculous. I use them when I play starcraft, they’re great for playing retro games (I play on the miyoomini), they’re great for travel and playing music on my phone. I find them to be very comfortable over long periods of time too
Great video!
The red with bass+ adapter and some eq on the 20hz-100hz band and you have head shaking sub bass for an immersive gameplay.
Zeos is dope, my go to for a unique take on things compared to everyone else who tends to be same same on opinions. I think though, having Zeos feature in a video is like trying to show your parents Anime for the first time, they are going to be confused, weirded out and a little concerned for you and your sanity but at the end of the day we love Anime and we love Zeos.
Ngl confused here haha
Z's blurred out animie girl was comedy. I still watch Z and really like him. I am halfway through the video and a loving it. Cheers Mr. Seed.
16:40 bro what 💀
Are the hd 560s still good? For like 170 cad I don’t like iems and I don’t need a mic
The Zeos thing is weird to me because Badseed tech posted it.
Meaning he saw the video before publishing it on youtube. He could have blurred it or asked Zeos to do it.
Why post it and try to save face by crapping on Zeos? I get that his picture are a bit much but youre just as associated to that video as he was.
FYI still no edits to the original video as of now. If its that much of a problem then fix it.
Personally prefer IEM:s for gaming, not as hot on my head during the summer months and as I am getting older, I get more details I otherwise tend to miss in games where foot steps etc. comes from.
Rocking Moondrop Aria 2 for IEMS with Moondrop Chu 2 as backups. Highly recommend switching the ear tips to Spinfits to not get itching in the ear canals and to be able to spend 8+ hrs on your R6 or Minecraft sesh!
i still have my first pair of Sennheiser HD 555's, the first pair of decent headphones I ever bought. must be close to 15 years old now, they still work like they did on day 1, still using them. i've had 2 other pairs of more modern gaming headsets in that time which have both broken with use, they didnt last long maybe lasting a year or so. build quality is extremely important
mine were sitting on my guitar amp for years and my dumbass never thought to use them for gaming
they will be benchmarked soon against my Turtle beach stealth pros and senheiser momentum 4 buds and razer blackshark v2 pros.
I am not an audiophile, but a gamer. My previous headphones which is more affordable was the DT880 250 Ohm. Now I use the DT1990Pro, which is a straight upgrade from the DT880.
For a mic I use the Modmic5 for a long time now.
There is also a reason I don't use any headphones/mics with any kind on knob or dial or button, they tend to fail very early on.
I had ALL! mics and headphones/headsets fail on the volume dial/mute switch (including the Modmic5, but that switch was optional), making them near unuseable after just 1-2 years. (especially Sennheiser, used many of their gaming headsets back in the day). And the funny thing is, I barely even used these dials/switches. I use the windows volume/mutes.
And I do care for my headphones. I place them either on my head or on the stand and thats it. No throwing or placing them down hard.
Bluetooth headphones also have some lag in them, but some people just can't notice it.
Seed I’m with you bro, us older gamers will take whatever incremental advantage to keep up with these youngins 😂 great video, again!
Haha thanks man!
Finding your channel back in 2021 was actually a "game changing" experience for me. As someone who used to game on with soundbar audio wanting a more loud, explosive, "cinematic" experience. I can say that after I purchased a set of PC37X along with a DAC, I can't see myself playing any other way. Weather it's multi-player or single player. Although I miss the explosiveness and vibration from a sub, I much more prefer the details with the headset. Also the great thing about open back IMO is not being completely shut offf from the world. I always like that I'm aware of my surroundings, and living in a rather "loud" house, by no means does it affect my gameplay negatively.
I've been using the Sennheiser 560s for about a year and I've really enjoyed it
How loud is the sound leakage? In a quiet room, if you are listening to music, can a person sitting 2meters away from you in the same room hear what you are hearing?
Dang i was looking for Z too.
Basically, "is the hd800s still the best?" "Yeah, but here are some more affordable options. You never needed the 800s anyway."
beyerdynamic DT 900 Pro X is better.
@@lizardpeterbruh
Nope @@lizardpeter
@@lizardpeternot even close.
1800 is a lot for some headphones.
Thankful for Zeos recommendations.
More people need to get on the Gadgetry Tech game. Always one of the first places I go for audio
I watched half of one of his videos and subscribed. No BS reviews.
After looking at Audeze Maxwell videos for over six months, including BADSEED's video, my wife ordered me some from Crutchfield. While they do sound incredible, both ear cups now make the annoying scratchy sound if I touch the cups or move my head.
It all started the moment I hit both my ear cups lightly out of frustration when the USB CONNECTED voice came over at 5X the volume of what I was listening to. It made me jump and gave me adrenaline. I did find the voice volume setting in the app after that and lowered it significantly but it deserved a good smacking for scaring me.
Ever since that moment they have the very well documented (on forums) annoying scratchy sound. They still work and sound great....as long as I don't touch the ear cups or move at all which is kind of NUTS to me for $330 with tax.
I did purchase then return the Steel series top of the line headphones first:
-their pc audio app did all kinds of bizarre things
-the ear cups were just too small
-the built in noise cancelling mic was too close to my ears
-ear cups made my ears over heat
I just order hd660s2 for gaming around 17 hours a go 😊 i get it later to day.
I use hd650 for 15+ yrs
I use soundblaster ae-7 and super with hd650 in FPS. To bad i miss out soundblaster ae-9 😢
I see a lot recommended the PC38x. Shouldnt the HD560s preform better since theyre some kind of a standard headphones?
I just bought the Audeze Maxwell - anyone else have a weird crackling sound when listening to ANY audio? I have them on 6/100 for volume, so I have no idea why it's doing this. If there's a fix I'd love to know and greatly appreciate it. Additionally, for whatever reason the Audeze HQ software won't pick up my headphones? No matter what connection I use they just don't show up.
are you running them through a dac or straight from the motherboard?
I also got the maxwells, and they do have crackling sound, it's something from the planar itself, it's so thin that if you do much pressure once, they'll get that defect permanently, i really like the maxwells but the crackling it's way too irritating to hear, at least for me, as for the software, unplug and plug again the dongle, that fixed it for me
Try turning off side tone, i never use side tone and once i accidently switched it on and thought i broke my headphones!
Send those back immediately. I've seen this issue pop up on reddit and can't remember if it was some sort of software or hardware issue
I've had mine for a few months, don't daily drive them but they are the best wireless headphones on the market (for gaming).
That's a hardware defect, better get those replaced. Main reason I still stick with dynamic drivers for gaming since they can take a beating without taking damage.
I'm still gaming on my semi-open-back Superlux HD681 headphones + Antlion Modmic after watching Tek Syndicate's video about 8 years ago.
My only complaint is the elastic headband cords wore out, but my head is so large that this is irrelevant. Even the ear pads are still in like-new condition, in spite of my heavy 5-o'clock shadow rubbing against them all the time.
I have since tried the SHP9500 and the HyperX Cloud Alpha, but neither of them compare for me.
many thanks for these vids, man!
I picked up the drop PC38X headset about a year ago (maybe less) in part due to these colabs.
I normally use wireless sets because I HATE cords - the bother the freaking heck out of me. That said, the sound of these things is GREAT. And I've gotten more than a few comments in-game about how good the mic quality is.
Now, if there was a way to get that cord off of my body, it'd be perfect lol
Thanks again, man!
I have been using the pc38x since 2021. I had a cloud flight and cloud 2 before that. The hyper x headsets were nice and loud, but it does not compare to the pc38x. The mic is also great but I seldom use it
After spending a lot of money on headphones and IEMs, I learned two things. The DAC matters, but doesn't need to be expensive like the Topping DX3 PRO. I prefer IEMs over Headphones due to weight and nothing on my head. IEMs are only as good as the TIPS you add to them, and this can be challenging at some point (they sound completly different from Tip to Tip). After spending so much money, I now add wireless earbuds. Why? I'm getting annoyed by cables, the weight and I like the Transparency mode of Wireless Earbuds for calls or if I want to understand waht's going on in my flat. Will try out Apple Airpods today …. But don't think they work due to latency.
I don’t know if I got a dud, but going from a PC38x to a Maxwell because I missed having wireless from my old Arctic pro wireless, I had heard such positive reviews of the maxwells but I had to return them, the sound was harsh to me and sounded awful compared to the pc38x, there is no beating the open back sound in my opinion
I had a hard time locating sounds in CS2 with the maxwells, where it feels like I can see through walls with the pc38x, also a side note is that my friends hated the microphone on the maxwells?
I might try them out again, I really liked the battery life they had and the dongle with usb c, definitely premium headphones
This video came at the right time for me. Much appreciated!!!
What did you wind up getting?
@@cgnefarious5785 was bouta ask the same thing. Not sure if I should get a budget wireless for $130 or say fuck it and buy $300 headset. But I need a 1440p monitor which is like $250. Crazy how headphones cost so much.
6:16 The thing about Bose is that it has a lot of input latency. That means sounds come like 200 ms after they happen in the game. That is not nice when gaming. Trust me, I really tried getting used to gaming with the Sony MX4, but I just couldn't.
Koss KPH30i both affordable and endgame 😎
I completely agree with the choice of headphones,
I use the EPOS PC38X mainly for FPS games, the Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO X for more atmospheric games like Helldivers 2 and rarely the Truthear ZERO:RED because they are too big for my ears.
To make both headphones more comfortable I added ear cushions from wicked cushions.
Hope that helps somebody out there.
Thanks man! I tried 700 pro x for FPS and it was average. Now I’m leaning towards PC38X.
Do you use any EQ for Warzone?
Appreciate the suggestion.
Thanks!
yep my headphone pick is also DT770 Pro 80ohm plus Dekoni pads pure bliss you literally forget you are with headphones and the sound is just great i still haven't found anything that can beat DT770 Pro 80ohm when it comes to comfort, sound and price to performance but you definitely need Dekoni pads
Stock pads are super comfortable imo
What about the 900 pro x ?
@@andrenordengen5163 DT 900 Pro X is a decent choice considering its price and technicalty, since it is an all-arounder for music and gaming. Though I do think the soundstage front and back might not be wide as left and right.
I’ve been using my pair since 2015 😎
They are so great for cs it’s crazy. You hear everything
i've been using the audio technica ad1000x for over 8 years and they still freak me out with how open and immersive they are, i also got a sub woofer at some point and the amount of times i take my headphones off to make sure the sound wasnt in my house is crazy
i did recently get into iems and i get the hype, you just hear everything, even though its a lot harder for me to pin point the locations of the sounds, great for games like cs or valorant but not my favorite for something like tarkov
my next purchase is probably going to be the new dusk iem, first dip into multi driver iems and nicer iems in general, right now im using the starfields which are nice but im noticing a lot of "could be better" things about them
I LOVED ad1000x but it was so uncomfortable for me. I have forever been trying to find something like it but with a better clasp
Any plans to create a similar video specifically for PS5/Xbox X headsets? I am looking to purchase something in the $100 range for my Xbox X. Cheers
Turtle beach elite atlas. Best $100 headset you can buy. It’s literally their $250 headset without the mixamp
I've been using the PC 360, PC 373d, EPOS PC38x for gaming since 2010 and i've struggled to move away from them, they are just so amazing.
I've just stumbled across this video and thought I'd check in to see what's the latest and greatest as I have been the proud owner of PC360 Game One for ages. Nice to see Sennheiser still rocking it...I am not surprised.
1:42 Huh!? I know man is into the 2D waifus but 👀
Nobody seems to understand the difference.
@@ZReviews For what it's worth man, I appreciate your video style. It's very unique and personal. It's a brand of RUclips content that feels a bit rarer these days; It feels like it'd exist regardless of monetization- like old school RUclips. Your genuine love for audio and personality really shines through. 👍👍
Its a bit creepy for a man that age.
@@technic1285 You have an anime profile picture so thankfully your opinion doesn't matter.
@@RunkkuRusina Man with kids cartoon profile pic degrading a man with an anime PFP. 😂😂😂
Any opinions on the 64-AUDIO IEMs?
I am new to the tech youtuber space, and your comment about Zeos being a type of "file" other than audiophile really sounded like you were insinuating that he was a pedofile. I went to google and reddit and tried to find any evidence or even claims of your insinuation and wasn't able to find anything supporting it.
Is that a pretty serious thing to joke about? Esp. when you aren't featuring him in your video? and accompanying it with the "yikes" reaction you and that other guy gave? I'm genuinely confused by this.
i currently own hd560s i was thinking of getting maxwell or dt990 pro. i mainly play on ps5, fps games (warzone comp). i sometimes play valorant on pc. only problem i got with my hd560s is theyre 120ohms and ps5 doesnt support that without an amp so i feel like my sound isnt as good or as high? would like some feedback.
How loud is the sound leakage in the 560s? In a quiet room, if you are listening to music, can a person sitting 2meters away from you in the same room hear what you are hearing?
@ its pretty bad tbh. i like running my music on high volume and everyone around me can hear what im listening to. if you like running your music half way its kinda acceptable but it still leaks quiet a bit.
Any thoughts on Turtle Beach Atlas Air? Gadgetry tech mentioned sound stage is on par with Maxwell and PC38x plus they are open back and top tier comfort
I would be interested in this also.
Toward the end you reference dropping a review for the HD 490 Pro's, is this still coming?
Feels like a really low blow on Zeos. Whatever you think of anime or it's fans, making hundreds of thousands of people think he might be a pedo over a questionable choice of wallpapers seems unfair.
I was looking for a comment explaining the real reason but if it’s just because of the wallpapers yeah that’s not right.
I was also looking for more information on this. He has always given me a questionable vibe but I don't know of anything. Has he been accused of this in the past? I don't see how bad seed would have thought we would have interpreted that any other way.
@@KingdomKey57 I know I'm a bit late to see the vid... but Zeos is litterally just an anime fan that puts up anime wallpapers in his background. He also does IEM reviews on @in-earfetish.. If you know anything about CHI-FI IEM's, they almost ALL come with anime characters/art on the box. Being an anime weeb is a far & distant cry from a p-phile. Thats like litterally calling all of Japan and most of Asia p-philes. Zeos is a good guy who does great content, sad to see sensitive creators throw him to the wolves. Rather than a comment saying it was a "joke", that should have just been cliped out entirely...
If you guys think waifu/loli is "just anime", you're not really up to speed.
i kinda have to disagree in that my top pick for "money is no object" headphones is for sure the $5000 Yamaha YH5000SE. I mean, if money is no object, its extremely light, just as wide of a soundstage as the HD800S but does not suffer from its thin, bass/sub lacking sound profile. Its stereo positioning and separation is far better as well; this is mainly important for differentiating separate audio cues such as gunshots and footsteps when coming from a similar direction. its obviously 3x the price but it very well deserves the spot if no budget is considered in the first place imo
Nice Vid man I always appreciate the quality here. I was less a fan at the shot at Zeos, in this day and age a joke like that can really harm reputation even if it is a joke it was at his expense and didn't need to be in the video at all.
I have had really good luck with 660S which is close-sounding but excellent sound separation and accuracy, and the Hifiman Ananda Nanos, which offer more bass/subbass and a bigger soundstage while still having excellent accuracy.
I noticed a lot of options with bigger soundstage will not have the pinpoint accuracy and so in some games like Valorant it will become a bit vague exactly where someone is, even if you have a general idea of the direction.
Hey Badseed Tech, happy to see Maxwell's pop up few times, I also exchanged quite a few ones and the level of audio you get in Maxwell is unmatched from what you get from competitors. Is indeed a little heavy, but you get used to it after few days, really. Not that big of an issue. The software is working well, absolutely no issues with them whatsoever! I do recommend them as well. They work very well for music, movies and gaming! I was hoping to see some good feedback from Crin but that left me without a comment :)), I wouldn't follow his friend's advice at all. If you care about audio, study a little bit more the market and get something better than just "whatever you like" :)
Did they finally work out some of the quirky stuff happening on the software side? I'm really looking forward to getting these!
@@proxyhx2075yes. It works very good. You can customize your audio very well and make all firmware updates
@@proxyhx2075 The software is still kinda meh, but seriously the sound out of them is really impressive. I have the Sennheiser drop headphones mentioned in the video and the Maxwell's have dominated my life.
Maxwell's comfort depends heavily on how big your head is and if you have a strong neck cause that thing is quite heavy. Most posts on the Audeze sub are complaining about the comfort for a reason. I personally would love to see them release a more lightweight version, the 1 week long battery is really excessive imo
I wonder how the Maxwell's stack up against the DT770(80ohm)'s. I keep thinking to myself that there's no way that the Maxwell's can retain the same level of quality as they're wireless, regardless of being planer magnetic. I had the penrose, but returned them because the quality just wasn't quite on par with my DT770's. Those fine details were lost in translation. Penrose sounded darker and wasn't able to resolve the same level of quality.
Im a fan of hyper X cloud 2 sound, i dont care about mic, can you recommend me something similar to that one ( sound + comfy on ears and noice canceling) but wireless? I gotta change them
The problem with these videos is that some of the people featured have lost the community’s trust by shilling collabs and misleading consumers. Not all of them, but there are some people here with questionable intentions. The fact that this group needs massive disclaimers throughout the video “Hey they’re not getting paid for this” speaks to my point. I come to your channel to get away from many of these guys, the collective honesty within the group of these audiophile “reviewers” here is suspect at best. Hence, the backlash.
Zeos pick is probably the Fiio JT-1 as a $69 open-back headphone that doesn't fall off the low end, with exceptional comfort and audio quality for anything under $200.
I bought the 800s watching your previous video. And my god gaming has not been the same ever since. The sound quality is underrated!!!!
Nothing else like them
So is the AKG 702/7xx no longer in the mix for a great headset?
You know you're missing the king of gaming headphone discourse "Mad Lust Envy", his thread on Head-Fi is legendary and on point
i still reference this legendary post from time to time, not as a definitive guide but just as an "are these headphones worth looking into or not" baseline
For me, no gaming headset will ever be worth the money until it has the simultaneous Bluetooth feature of the Arctis Nova line. I love that feature so much that I market it to everyone - my mom even got one for her own use, and she doesn't even play games
Just get an audio controller and mix two different audio sources. Then you can use whatever headphones you want and still have simultaneous inputs
im really enjoying my stealth pros for that reason
Awesome to see GadgetryTech here, he’s earned the spot
Picked up the Tyger several years ago at this point, still my daily driver. I'm constantly switching between gaming and music listening and these hold up super well for basically everything. Easy to drive too.
i honestly hate audeze maxwell i got one and the bluetooth pc connection kept dropping and i couldnt get them to work and returned them smh
They sounded amazing for me but the EQ software as terrible, and the drivers started popping pretty bad on the left side.
The most important thing for audio quality is how close the eq curve is to flat as possible.ive tested and calibrated the Logitech pro x and I can say it only has peaks in the 3000hz range which makes it really easy to get good audio detail
The timing with this video is just too good
Could Gadgetry Tech add the link for the Dekoni Jerzee pads for his EPOS H6 Pro headphones, please? I absolutely love this headset! I have the closed back, for privacy/discretion. I am far from being a pro, but this is my favourite headset yet, for gaming, watching RUclips and making phone calls. I am considering trying the Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro's next.
Great video. Thank you BadSeed Tech, from the UK.
What happened with zeos?
His computer wallpapers aren't tasteful
hes an anime watcher so alot of his wallpapers is his video arent exactly sponsor and ad friendly
For PC should i get the Audeze maxwell xbox or playstation version?
I wish the goat of gaming audio Fresh Reviews was included in this!
I don't know anyone that uses Apple AirPods Pro like me. They connect easily to my pc and I can connect back to them on my phone. I used Sennheiser headphones for years, but got tired of the weight of them and headphone dent lol. Super comfortable though, but they don't beat IEMs.
Nah why they do my dawg Zeos like that? 😅
He got those diddy vibes.
Idk what the guy is on about.. throwing shots at @ZReviews cheaper than a $50 IEM. I really appreciate all the work Zeos puts into his videos and doesnt need stripper lights to explain audio components. If you guys dont like stuff that someone else likes, doesnt mean he is any lower than you. That man has built his channel with HARD WORK! And he doesnt come after others just because they like something that he doesnt. 😅
Audeze Maxwell is so fudging good! They make my Nova pro wireless sound hollow in comparison. The image is wider on Nova Pro but not by enough. The Maxwell really sounds very close to my HTA9/SW5 surround system so maybe that's why I love them so much.
Buy them steal them, they are fire!
Great vid man 👍 I totally agree with the iem statement, and Sennheiser better get that check sent over asap 🤣
What’s your top pic?
5:03 - more people need to do things like this.
Not just with headphones but all kinds of products.
Come up with a practically relevant test, that is as close to scenarios in your favorite game as possible and then make it quantifiable.
Repeat the test several times with the respective products until you have a large enough sample size to compare them objectively. Then draw your conclusion.
So many times we simply try to justify a new purchase because we wanted to treat ourselves, have spent a lot of money or just like the look or image of a product when it's not objectively better than what we used before.
Goes for mice, mouse pads, keyboards, DACs, headphones, monitors, pretty much anything.
team TYGR baby, highly underrated
I love Sennheiser. My gaming set is the Game One’s, essentially HD558’s with a nice mic. I love the SHP9600’s, HD58X’s, and KSC75X’s too.
The dig at zeos is savage 😂
Wheres 490 review and vs 560s in cod which one better
THE SENN-PIRE STRIKES BACK
honestly I feel like good sound in terms of media you consume and good sound in terms of competitive games are very very different.
it depends on the game of course but rule of thumb is the most important thing to look for in a headphone from a competitive standpoint is NOT footsteps or soundstage (unless you’re playing a soundwhore game like siege) because if you are good at the game you play you will have proper map awareness and it will give you no advantage if you’re GOOD
what you should look for is not only seperation but also muting (in a fast paced game)
the advantage a good headphone should give you is being able to have clearer audio for utility (most shooters) and abilities (hero shooters) so that you can have a proper understanding of what’s going on and that you can act faster on an opportunity (overwatch example: being able to tell clearly when ana has used her sleep dart without seeing it and without her voiceline triggering is an advantage. knowing where the ana is based off of her footsteps isnt and hearing gunshots LOUDER is just literal noise pollution)
so unless you’re actually good you shouldn’t care about an advantage and your idea of an advantage in games is probably flawed so just go with something comfortable that suits you in terms of sound profile and features.
the gsp 600’s are the best headphones for me in game but in any scenario that isn’t competitive I use either my thieaudio ghosts because they just suit me very well and my crusher ANC2 because they’re FUN.
find a headphone that suits you and your usecase instead of focusing on soundstage and footsteps and all of that because you can hear footsteps accurately enough out of any headphone that isn’t muddy or SHIT
Love this channel. I’ve watched that video many times.
It is disappointing to see the same stuff from a large group like this but at the same time if everyone has the same or similar tastes that you'd see similar recs from the group. Like it feels sad due to lack of options as someone who doesn't have it all and may be interested in trying a thing out but it still just makes sense. I do think what people are using has more potential for difference.
We all know zeos is an animephile though lmao
I use the beyer 1770s as I'm a fan of closed back and this was my first foray into the pricier options.
I'm not a phile of any sorts. Unless there's one for RC lovers
Just ordered some HD800s and I got them for a wicked price! can't wait until they come in and I get to try my first real set of Audiophile headphones. Honestly makes me feel pretty decent seeing a lot of these guys also still recommending them even though they seem to be an older headphone. I've been rocking DT990 Pros for like 7 years.
Wtf, that opening 'joke'? those kinds of baseless accusations are really shitty
I've started to wear out my Maxwell pads I've used it so much. Absolutely FANTASTIC piece of audio gear.
You are looking healthy my dude. Sharp AF! Love to see it!
Thanks man! Upped my cardio lately. I hate it, but it works 😅
The Yeti Nano is great when paired with IEMs. Essentially, it has a pass-through 3.5mm headphone jack plugged into the base of the Yeti Nano, meaning you get an IEM with your preferred tuning and a good sounding microphone so you are crystal clear and you hear your peeps well.
Attempting a Destiny 1v1 flex is like saying you're the best Crash Bandicoot racer.
Thanks for including Joe. Love his vids and the owner of WC(Wicked Cushions) speaks highly of him also on a Personal level. You all do amazing work so again thank you for having him on🤙.
Wishing you all a successful and Happy 2024.
1:44 i just have watch this video for 2nd time and then, I get it, bruh 🤣, I didn't understand it at first... oh lord
Just picked up some Meze 109 Pros after my Beyer 990s died after a long decade of use. Absolutely love them for both gaming and music, and they feel like a cloud on my head. Expensive, but well worth it for gaming, music and content consumption.
These are the cans I want to pick up. I tried them out at an audio shop and loved how comfy they felt and the sound was awesome. I run the Crinicale red IEMs for my steam deck and switch, and the Tygr 300r for my PC.
Zeos dude. HAHAHA he is a strong personality. Love him for it.
No mentions about the astro a50x eh? Have you tried it at all?
ZEOS LMAOOOO that was funny af
poor zeos
No worries, I don't cry
