got any info on Wired Headsets ? Since my biggest problem seems to be the cable not being durable enough so it bends and twists round itself and sooner or later forces the wire to be straighten out or the sound quality you hear from your pc or listening to other people gets lowered or distorted ? All I'm after is something decent enough to last a while since most headsets/ headphones break down so easily from one problem or another.
Also I had the void pro as well and I noticed the auto shut down would try to initiate when the mic was on and now being used like just using the headset for games or listening to music and not talking .. All I did was mute the mic and it wouldn't do it
Can't believe MPow won the mic test, those authentic brands should be ashamed of themselves. I wonder if they even did any testing of the microphone at all in the first place.
It's because larger brands need only their names and they include all of those gimmick software only to sell your data. Why do you think they push the software so much? Smaller brands like mpow need to make good products to not go bankrupt.
@@KraljHD No it's because unlike the other brands they don't have filter software. The filter softwar is what stops things like family talking in the background or an air conditioning unit and even quiet sounds like phone notifications.

This deserves more likes. Probably the only comparison video I've watched this year that actually showed the capability of each piece with logic and no flair for the overdramatics.
6 years ago dimitri's video convinced me to buy the cloud 2, now the perfect wireless upgrade has come. Thank you for these amazing reviews on these amazing products.
clouds were absolute nightmare material, too shallow so my ears hit the inner driver and crushed my head and ears. returned instantly, couldnt use them for an hour without getting my head crushed.
I've owned 2 Cloud 2 WIRED headsets and LOVED them!!! The only reason I bought a 2nd one was because I accidentally broke the clip on the mid-cable control box. However, I've been REALLY wanting to get the wireless model of the Cloud 2's. This video helped me make my choice. Thanks Dimitri!
dont get the virtuoso either, terrible headset and i have strange distortion issues in wireless mode that seem to be common and none of the fixes work for me for longer than a day
The Virtuosos microphone is just okay, that's it. The phones sound nice though, too bad Corsair used plastic in the ear-pad locking design and they break all the time and don't have a way to purchase replacements.
It's a scam. These are for the most part plastic parts that are glued together with super cheap speakers. Disassemble a pair when they die and be disappointed.
Why no Corsair Virtuoso? You rated them fairly highly in a previous video and as far as I can tell mic is class-leading. I see their ability to connect also via USB C or 3.5mm jack as a huge bonus for versatility.
Most of the MPOW Air sound quality issues, can be solved with VoiceMeeter Banana, using the tri-band eq (push the highs and mid, reducing the lows..). Even virtual 7.1 surround can be used with VoiceMeeter + EqAPO + Hesuvi. The mic quality for this MPOW is actually pretty good for a wireless headset.
Dimitri, I trust your recommendations the most because you do so many in depth analyses of your products. Keep up the great videos. I’m looking for one that has wireless charging or USB-C charging, removable mic, swivel headphones, wireless and Bluetooth, fits glasses well, covers big ears, easy automatic connections to Xbox series x, usable with v-moda boom pro with PS5, with changeable ear pads and most of all great directional audio for competitive gaming. Any recommendations. I don’t care about price.
Been using my Cloud II USB for many years and have zero reason to change it. It still works great, comfortable, mic sound is awesome. It has zero issues. I recommend the Cloud II to everyone, but I have never tried the wireless version. Good to know it's good like the wired version.
Is it just me, I had my cloud 2 for almost three years, and the rubbery finish in the earcups became this sticky feel to it, kinda ewiee whenever i touch it.
I just want to say some nice things about the Steel Series Arctis 7. I just got them to replacing my 3 year old Corsair RGB Void Pros (battery degradation). They fit my average sized head just fine (with glasses too). I really like the build quality and the strap system is super comfortable. But the real pro is the sound quality. I tried the Roccat ELO 7.1 air, and while much cheaper at $90, had horrible sound quality compared to my old Void Pro and the Arctis 7. 24 hour battery life is also a bonus. I believe I paid $140 for my new cans, and if you care about sound, always pay more for the better product. Bonus charging tip for anyone who has a wireless gaming headset: Get a magnetic charging cable so that you just snap it to the headset without taking it off to fumble around and fit the cable into the port. Amazon sells them for around $10-$15.
Rocking the MPOW AIR Wireless (MPOW BH415) for a year now and still looks new and crisp and about the sound quality I disagree tho because for me I can definitely tell where the sounds are coming. Highly recommended. (I have the removable mic)
Your videos have always been such eye candy to look at from an editing perspective with all the lighting and color correction you do, and is basically review porn haha. The amount of work you put in really comes across. Thank you!
Tip for future video's, keep the name if the product you're talking about on-screen, I keep having to rewind to see "what was this one called again?" Otherwise great video!
A decent amount are missing from this list, including the one you said and the Logitech G935. Regardless, at least they’ve reviewed them before. Might be harder for new reviewers. If you need my opinion, both are very great. Logitech makes good wireless headsets.
I own a pro x I and think it is over priced and over rated for sound .Mic is great but leaves allot to be desired for audio .Volume is to low and is like having a hearing aid on for outside noise i swear like tv or ac noise is louder with the ear cups on then off .I gave them to my wife for netflix on pc because I do not like for gaming .I have a old pair of 2006 plantronic backbeat pro that out of the box with no eq settings that blow my pro x away they also have ANC I use DTS sound with bose qc3 audio profile for surround sound .My main is ath50 with dac same dts sound and profile though .and yeti nano mic. have spent allot of money trying but still have not beat either of my old 2 headsets
I was just looking for a wireless headset. And this definitely makes me second guess if I need a wireless headset due to the mic and playback quality. Thanks for the video; really helps!
@@ElTeeger Once gets into wireless no one can ever go back to wired , i just switched mouse, keyboard and headphone to wireless this year, although mouse sometimes still have some lagging issue but they really nice to have .
The Arctis Pro are fantastic sound wise - but very expensive and don't have the frame updates like with Arctis 9. That's why i wanted to cover the 9 (and the older 7 to highlight improvements). -D.
@@HardwareCanucks True but it includes a feature sorely missing in every other wireless headset: dual batteries. In case of others i dont really see them as wireless because they need wired charging where as the Pro model gan go 24/7 wireless.
I really don't recommend those pairs. Too many problems : hissing when there's no sound in wireless mode, the build quality is rather poor with people complaining left and right. They gonna last you - at most - 2 years. And 2 years is actually optimistic.
I've been using the arctis pro wireless daily ever since they came out, the best tip i could give you is to replace the earpads with large leather/pleather ones, more bass without losing details, better stereo separation, and much more comfortable IMO
This is probably my most favorite format for reviewing headsets. Seriously you did such a great job!! Unfortunately you can just never take anyone else's word for anything as important as a heavy peripheral most of us are wearing for hours and hours lol. 😥 I say that for two reasons here: - the Hyper X was the MOST PAINFUL headset I have ever used. the clamping force was so extreme that it gave me severe headaches within minutes of wearing. There are even videos online of how to help 'relax' the clamping force of them because so many people have issues with it, yet it's always on "most comfortable" lists. 🤔 - the steelseries band doesn't get TIGHT enough for my head... so the opposite problem from you. altho I guess the issue is the same, the velro piece is too little and needs to extend further in both directions so the ski-band can be tightened more, and released more. 🙌
Something on the audeze penrose would be nice. I've read that its pretty great sounding, but the clamping is too strong. Haven't see a lot of coverage of it on RUclips, audiophiles seem to be impressed by it sound wise.
Hey, I loved how informative your video is! Only thing is I'm looking for a comfortable wireless headset for xbox one. I was going to get hyperx cloud 2 but noticed it may not be compatible. I also wear glasses and play long periods of time on my games and end up hurting behind my ears. 😅 Recommendations are highly appreciated! 🙏🏻 Thank you!
Could you guys add the Astro A50s to your reviews, I want to know if it’s worth that price, but some people swear by Astro. Also I’m surprised the Logitech G pro X is not on this list.
Yep. Also my corsair HS70 Pro Wireless is awesome. I love everything about it and it's not priced high at all compared to other wireless headsets. Surprised I see almost no one talking about it
It's what I am wearing RN, I had the G935 before that and I was like "Imma test them, and send them back right away" but they are such an improvement over the G935. No RGB = much longer battery life. Better sound quality all around, mic quality still "meh". Noteable is the low-background noise it has when powered on and connected which can cause headache by some people, otherwise it is awesome. I personally miss some buttons, but otherwise: 9/10.
Logitech didn't pay up, no bribe, no getting in to the roundup video, they even reviewed it and gave it raving scores, it's even Dimitri's favourite headset.... Yet again an HC video that's useless.....
I've done a full review of the PRO X Wireless: it has strengths in audio but its also incredibly expensive (if you find one) / the mic sucks too. I'd pick the Cloud II Wireless over the PRO X Wireless. -D.
Hi Dmitry, thanks for the video. @22:29 auto shutdown initiates because of inactivity not low battery on Corsair Void. You can disable it on iCue though, it comes default 15mins i believe and if you listen anything through an app like Spotify it doesn't auto shutdown but if you are playing something on browser like web spotify, twitch etc. auto shutdown initiating. Still weird.
I recently went from the razer kraken 7.1 v2 to the corsair virtuoso and return the virtuoso within a week. They were so uncomfortable and the old krakens sounded way better imo. So i did some research and pretty much everyone besides this youtuber here recommends the blackshark v2 pro and ohhhhh man were those people right on the money with the reveiws. They sound soooo damn good and feel so good on my ears / head and my ears do not touch the drivers at all like the lousy virtuoso's did. "seriously the most uncomfortable head set i've ever had" But like Random Frank P said they have an amazing "even though fake" 7.1 surround sound and I can pinpoint all the footsteps and explosions in the distance perfectly. The best 7.1 i've heard on a headset no doubt at this price range. They are truly amazing and they are on sale on amazon atm. I personally love synapse and try to get all my products through razer so i can have it all on one app. I hate icue with a passion being it honestly just sucks. Crashes with app like hwinfo64 open and has lack luster rgb and headphones settings. Razer synapse is better in every way and I love being able to sign into another computer and all my settings I tuned to me are there once I log in. Corsair you have to start all over and dial your settings every time you log into another computer. But I also looked at the cloud 2's but they have no equalizer settings from what I read up and many people were complaining about that at that price point. And I don't blame them at all. You can't dial in the sound to your expensive headphones and you're stuck with whatever they send you out of the box. Once I saw that it was a huge nope on my part. As for mic quality goes i don't buy headsets for mic quality because i use a Blue snowball mic on my desk and never use the headphone mic so i couldn't tell yea. And I love that the blackshark allows it to be removable so it's out of view when gaming. One thing i don't like about the headset is the micro usb port... Razer has a issue with using old hardware on new hardware like the new razer led rgb controller uses molex for power.... Like wtf razer?.. Molex???? Like seriously wake up and get with the current times man. I've had bad experience with micro usb ports so to charge this headset i bought the magnetic charging cable where it detaches easily without plugging in or out of the micro connector port and so in return it won't wear out my usb port and will hopefully last longer than a year. If this headset had usb-c it would be a perfect 5 stars no doubt. But that's the only negative I have with the headset. Everything else which is more important is right on the money.
@@eluminatti same here. Really disappointed that I have to leave the software uninstalled to be able to use xbox app :( and the software does help with the sounds. The feel of them are amazing though!
It's gonna be my second time coming here for headset recommendation. I've watch your review for the HD58X Jubilee and have been using them for a good while since. High quality and informative stuff.
I actually found the software on my Arctis 7 to be a problem for sound quality and soundstage. Directional audio in games was just broken. Music frequency curves were also broken. Without the software, everything was great. So, now I just install the software on a laptop to manage things like the power off timeout or do updates, but I do not install the software on my gaming PC.
Can confirm. When I want to watch a video about a product (keyboard, mouse or headset or something else) I first look to see if you guys have a video about it
I appreciate the time and effort you put into making this video for all your viewers I have been trying to find a decent wireless headset and I finally have some great options to choose from, thank you very much.
I really want to see recommendations both for mic's, and headphones to pair with said mics. been thinking about what to follow after my arctis 5 and i might go for a separate mic and headphones, but dont know whats best for me to go for
Wow. The Mpow with no software BS, best mic in my ears and with the way you describe the sound ... I think that one is a no brainer for zoom calls / facetime / whatever.
@@Swankfunk they sound great and you can look up DT 770 PRO they are great too, remember this are brands that make amazing headsets design for amazing sound experience men, logitech, asus, are jokes compare to Audio Tehnica, Sennheiser , DT, Sony, so if you want clean sound you can buy that m50x, i think are the best on that price, but you can go to a store and try them out!
Great video!.. thanks for the hard works.. been looking for a new headset.. but wireless bandwidth technology still cant be compared to wired, especially it is so much needed in gaming.. would love to see an episode of wired gaming headset..
Thank you Dimitri, for answering my question on the last headphone video review. Now, I know what to get for my wife and daughter, great video, with all the information.
What about the Corsair Virtuoso?? you included the Corsair Void but that headset is pretty bad in comparison... Virtuoso is only $50 more with a way better build quality and much more features
@@HardwareCanucks I had to order other earpads in order to make them manageable tbh. They work well with the Brainwaves velour earpads.. but for such an expensive set.. you really shouldn't need to upgrade them.
As former owner of them I'd say it is the opposite. I had to return them, they are uncomfortable with pretty bad sound reproduction. Definitely one of the worst headphones I ever used.
I find Razer Synapse 2 to be great for checking wireless battery life, at least for my Razer Viper Ultimate, so not sure what problems you're having. They also show a battery percentage for you so you always know exactly how much you have left
Would've loved to see the Arctis Pro Wireless as imo they're very good after I tried several wireless headsets and couldn't find the perfect one before these. Next step is gonna try and find the audeze mobius.
I was interested in the Arctis Pro, but unfortunately I read in several reviews that they have the same fitting problem as the Arctis 7. Hope they refresh them with a better fit.
Audeze mobius still need to be wired for gaming, check out the penrose. Identical drivers and sound profile but BT and Wireless support. No headtracking but it's a gimmick.(only has 16 bit dac though as opposed to mobius 24bit). The hyper x orbit's are wired versions of the mobius (made by audeze and identical in every way) and are usually on sale.
@@spazco8669 mobius are actually wireless, penrose are more affordable than mobius so thats why the lack some features or are worse in some compared to mob
@@_sked8120 mobius are bluetooth so I always use them wired for gaming (series x and ps5 don't support bluetooth) Penrose are missing head tracking, which is a gimmick and inbuilt 3d dsp. But atmos/dtx etc is better anyway. If you're into high rez music files mobius are have a higher bit rate dac but that doesn't matter for gaming. The build, drivers and sound profile are identical. Penrose has better mic and software.
Can you do one for 2021 wired? I know you did one 6 months ago, maybe add to that? If there are any new ones worth mentioning that is, please and thank you.
@@karenlewis4228 The Penrose is $300 MSRP which isn't that much more expensive than the rest of these and many headphone sellers will discount stuff if you just ask. At least it would be a nice headset to include as a premium option rather than ignore it. Astro headsets were skipped over as well like many others pointed out.
@@TOM7952 Kinda funny how Audeze's super budget entry level headphone (penrose) is considered premium next to every other gaming headset. The mobius really needs to be wired for gaming.
Yeah I think there was something genuinely wrong with his specific Cloud 2 unit. I can't find a single other review that has that issue. It's the same mic as the cloud flight and flight s, and those are both way, way better than what he had going on.
@@zhila5958 Same. I've had the wired version for almost 4 years now, and the microphone isn't close what so ever to what is shown in this video. Like Duncan said, it might be a faulty unit
Excellent video! I also recommend RUNMUS gaming headsets because they are on a great budget, are bulky, strong, soft on the ears, beautiful and top quality.
I've got a quantum 800 comfy as hell and it sound great and mic is decent. Wireless range isn't that great. Main issue is the volume wheel moves easily when you take it off and put it down but doesn't seem to move when on your head which is strange.
The Quantum's are okay, but nothing special really, you would be only disappointed with them for sure. Too much bass, not very well controlled. HyperX does one of the best headsets out there for gamers that are generally sounding flat, plenty of bass (well controlled), good balance overall and not too expensive. I am currently using my Orbit S (Audeze Mobius) and these are the best headsets I ever had (and I went through quite a few), even beats my B&W hi-fi music headsets for music.
@@OriginalMergatroid Only let down of any headset really. None of them sound great in terms of mic, wireless headsets are in general poor. It is one of the trade offs. It's also true that you going to use the "sound" more than the "mic". If you want better mic quality, there are some great third party options. The benefit on my headset is the fact it is a 3.5mm jack mic, so if needed I can change it for something else quite easily.
@@AaronDunnill I've got one too and i have to agree, comfy with great sound/decent mic quality and it looks awesome too, i would add some small issues like not being able to use the volume wheel on bluetooth or when wired(only works in 2.4), not being able to use it while charging also sucks, and the 7.1 surround is not that great but jbl desktop app is good!
Hi guys, thank you for the awesome review! I'm struggling to find the Cloud II wireless on Amazon through the link provided, any suggestion to find it?
I own a Blackshark v2 pro and must say it is the best headset! Comfort, sound, and the microphone is excellent. Cannot understand why he is saying it isn't so good comfortwise that is not true, it is very comfortable. I got 0 clamping force when I use them. The sound & mircophone can be edited via equalizer as you like it. It has enough bass which also can be edited with the equalizer and with a function in the software. Yes the display of the battery life is the only thing I do not like about it, but the rest is perfect. I can only recommend it!
It's the material of the headcups, he not like the feel of it. And same goes for me, tried the Steelseries and hated it. After feeling the Blackshark out in a store it felt the same. It's to rough and scratchy.
I have the Arctic 7 2019 and Arctic Pro Wireless. I bought the HyperX Cloud Wireless and was dissapointed: the sound isn't that good. I then bought the Logitech Pro X Wireless Lightspeed and man... that headset is awsome. Pitty it didn't show up in this video. As a person who games a lot. I can realy recommend the Arctic 7 2019 (not the pro), and the Logitech Pro X Wireless Lightspeed!!
Ived been on a wired open back headset for a while, but I remembered Logitech being the best wireless option. Has that changed drastically for them to not be included?
I know this is 2 years old at this point, but those Mpows (and many other options from them) can be found for as little as $15 at times. At that price, it's hard to ignore them if you are on a budget. The wired EG3 Pros are what I have, and to me at least, they have fuller sound and you do get quite a bit directional audio compared to even the wired versions of the ones you reviewed here (I had the wired ones). Honestly, it's good to see a channel like yours covering them at least, because for a true budget option, it's hard to find anything as good, and far too many channels will say "budget" and then introduce a handful of $120+ headphones (and $200 seems to be "budget" to a lot of people when talking about keyboards for some reason)
Ive had several issues with the Arctis 7 sound setup, particularly when playing countrer strike it would randomly mute the stereo channel (game, music, media ...) but not discord. I had to hard reset the pc to recover from it. I ended up scrapping the functionality of having 2 separate channels, is just way too buggy for me. Apart from that, I'm pretty satisfied with them, they work like a charm on ubuntu
Thanks for the video, but what I want to really know is Hyperx Cloud 2 Wireless vs Hyperx Cloud Flight S? Hyperx Cloud Flight S is $60 cheaper by me at the moment.
UPDATE** : Not sure how it got there but the STRIX GO 2.4 Does NOT support Bluetooth (10:14) and apparently there is a way to check battery status in the Armoury Crate software (I just couldn't find how).
-D.
got any info on Wired Headsets ? Since my biggest problem seems to be the cable not being durable enough so it bends and twists round itself and sooner or later forces the wire to be straighten out or the sound quality you hear from your pc or listening to other people gets lowered or distorted ? All I'm after is something decent enough to last a while since most headsets/ headphones break down so easily from one problem or another.
Why no Pro X Wireless in the video asking because i am between the Hyperx Cloud ll and g pro x wireless
Also I had the void pro as well and I noticed the auto shut down would try to initiate when the mic was on and now being used like just using the headset for games or listening to music and not talking .. All I did was mute the mic and it wouldn't do it

The mic test on the MPOW headset really surprised me ngl.
Right. I was caught off guard by how good the mic is on that thing.
It's probably the best sounding mic here. Rivals that of wired headsets. Impressive indeed.
-D.
It really did sound the best out of all of them and not by a small margin either.

I’m looking for one that has wireless charging or USB-C charging, removable mic, swivel headphones, wireless and Bluetooth, fits glasses well, covers big ears, easy automatic connections to Xbox series x, usable with v-moda boom pro with PS5, with changeable ear pads and most of all great directional audio for competitive gaming. Any recommendations. I don’t care about price.
Which did you buy bro. Now i’m looking exact same product you’d look
Been using my Cloud II USB for many years and have zero reason to change it. It still works great, comfortable, mic sound is awesome. It has zero issues. I recommend the Cloud II to everyone, but I have never tried the wireless version. Good to know it's good like the wired version.
Is it just me, I had my cloud 2 for almost three years, and the rubbery finish in the earcups became this sticky feel to it, kinda ewiee whenever i touch it.
@@user-ei9cj8nb1k over use maybe
I love that you included glass wearer tests
I just want to say some nice things about the Steel Series Arctis 7. I just got them to replacing my 3 year old Corsair RGB Void Pros (battery degradation). They fit my average sized head just fine (with glasses too). I really like the build quality and the strap system is super comfortable. But the real pro is the sound quality. I tried the Roccat ELO 7.1 air, and while much cheaper at $90, had horrible sound quality compared to my old Void Pro and the Arctis 7. 24 hour battery life is also a bonus. I believe I paid $140 for my new cans, and if you care about sound, always pay more for the better product.
Bonus charging tip for anyone who has a wireless gaming headset: Get a magnetic charging cable so that you just snap it to the headset without taking it off to fumble around and fit the cable into the port. Amazon sells them for around $10-$15.
are the arctis 7 worth it? thinking of getting them
It would be really cool if you can test the ROCCAT Elo 7.1 Air Wireless Headset
I was just about to write that. Have that headset, really happy with it.
Rocking the MPOW AIR Wireless (MPOW BH415) for a year now and still looks new and crisp and about the sound quality I disagree tho because for me I can definitely tell where the sounds are coming. Highly recommended. (I have the removable mic)
Do you also have the issue that sometimes, mostly when the battery is low, the words sound really bugged out sometimes?
@@minimifetti I also have the mpow air wireless and I don't have that issue.
@@minimifetti have the headset since august with the first gen ones (non-removable) and I never had issues with either the sound or the mic
Your videos have always been such eye candy to look at from an editing perspective with all the lighting and color correction you do, and is basically review porn haha. The amount of work you put in really comes across. Thank you!
I've had 3 sets of the cooler master break where the metal head band meets the ear. It's a very flimsy design.
Tip for future video's, keep the name if the product you're talking about on-screen, I keep having to rewind to see "what was this one called again?"
Otherwise great video!
Curious, why is the Logitech G PRO X missing from this list?
Exactly what I was wondering.
A decent amount are missing from this list, including the one you said and the Logitech G935.
Regardless, at least they’ve reviewed them before. Might be harder for new reviewers. If you need my opinion, both are very great. Logitech makes good wireless headsets.
yeah feels weird like reviewer have bad blood with logitech so he just skipped it
It is weird that he didn't add it, I just watched randomfrankp's most recent headset review and Dmitri said it is the one he recommends
I own a pro x I and think it is over priced and over rated for sound .Mic is great but leaves allot to be desired for audio .Volume is to low and is like having a hearing aid on for outside noise i swear like tv or ac noise is louder with the ear cups on then off .I gave them to my wife for netflix on pc because I do not like for gaming .I have a old pair of 2006 plantronic backbeat pro that out of the box with no eq settings that blow my pro x away they also have ANC I use DTS sound with bose qc3 audio profile for surround sound .My main is ath50 with dac same dts sound and profile though .and yeti nano mic. have spent allot of money trying but still have not beat either of my old 2 headsets
That Mpow mic.. Mwow!
The mpow wireless mic is from a different planet.. no fight there
Is it Bluetooth????

Would really like your view of the Steelseries Arctis Pro.. They have been my daily drivers for a few months, and I'm really happy with them.
The Arctis Pro are fantastic sound wise - but very expensive and don't have the frame updates like with Arctis 9. That's why i wanted to cover the 9 (and the older 7 to highlight improvements).
-D.
@@HardwareCanucks Care to elaborate on the frame update? I have a bigger head and the arctis pro would rest on the top of my head when wearing them.
@@HardwareCanucks True but it includes a feature sorely missing in every other wireless headset: dual batteries. In case of others i dont really see them as wireless because they need wired charging where as the Pro model gan go 24/7 wireless.
I really don't recommend those pairs. Too many problems : hissing when there's no sound in wireless mode, the build quality is rather poor with people complaining left and right. They gonna last you - at most - 2 years. And 2 years is actually optimistic.
I've been using the arctis pro wireless daily ever since they came out, the best tip i could give you is to replace the earpads with large leather/pleather ones, more bass without losing details, better stereo separation, and much more comfortable IMO
This is probably my most favorite format for reviewing headsets. Seriously you did such a great job!! Unfortunately you can just never take anyone else's word for anything as important as a heavy peripheral most of us are wearing for hours and hours lol. 😥
I say that for two reasons here:
- the Hyper X was the MOST PAINFUL headset I have ever used. the clamping force was so extreme that it gave me severe headaches within minutes of wearing. There are even videos online of how to help 'relax' the clamping force of them because so many people have issues with it, yet it's always on "most comfortable" lists. 🤔
- the steelseries band doesn't get TIGHT enough for my head... so the opposite problem from you. altho I guess the issue is the same, the velro piece is too little and needs to extend further in both directions so the ski-band can be tightened more, and released more. 🙌
Something on the audeze penrose would be nice. I've read that its pretty great sounding, but the clamping is too strong. Haven't see a lot of coverage of it on RUclips, audiophiles seem to be impressed by it sound wise.
the way this video is set up is amazing. Good job.. honestly
If you could review the Astro A50 Gen 4 wireless that would be sweet!
I got you 😎
He never talked or reviewed an Astro IDk why
@@roxas6094 Astros are generally waaay overpriced for what they are

Hey, I loved how informative your video is! Only thing is I'm looking for a comfortable wireless headset for xbox one. I was going to get hyperx cloud 2 but noticed it may not be compatible. I also wear glasses and play long periods of time on my games and end up hurting behind my ears. 😅 Recommendations are highly appreciated! 🙏🏻 Thank you!
Could you guys add the Astro A50s to your reviews, I want to know if it’s worth that price, but some people swear by Astro. Also I’m surprised the Logitech G pro X is not on this list.
Yep. Also my corsair HS70 Pro Wireless is awesome. I love everything about it and it's not priced high at all compared to other wireless headsets. Surprised I see almost no one talking about it
Yeah Logitech gpro should be in the list
I have the A40 and it's amazing, best headset I ever owned for sure. The problem is there's a lot of fanboys of the brand!
I really like that you do a glasses test!
It's very appreciated.
How tf didnt the logitech g pro x wireless get mentioned............
It's what I am wearing RN, I had the G935 before that and I was like "Imma test them, and send them back right away" but they are such an improvement over the G935. No RGB = much longer battery life. Better sound quality all around, mic quality still "meh". Noteable is the low-background noise it has when powered on and connected which can cause headache by some people, otherwise it is awesome.
I personally miss some buttons, but otherwise: 9/10.
Logitech didn't pay up, no bribe, no getting in to the roundup video, they even reviewed it and gave it raving scores, it's even Dimitri's favourite headset.... Yet again an HC video that's useless.....
@@shivalah exactly. I went from the g733 to the g pro x wireless. Such a good headset mic quality is solid and it sounds amazing
I've done a full review of the PRO X Wireless: it has strengths in audio but its also incredibly expensive (if you find one) / the mic sucks too. I'd pick the Cloud II Wireless over the PRO X Wireless.
-D.
@@HardwareCanucks cloud flight s vs cloud 2 wireless 🤷♂️
Hi Dmitry, thanks for the video. @22:29 auto shutdown initiates because of inactivity not low battery on Corsair Void. You can disable it on iCue though, it comes default 15mins i believe and if you listen anything through an app like Spotify it doesn't auto shutdown but if you are playing something on browser like web spotify, twitch etc. auto shutdown initiating. Still weird.
I recently went from the razer kraken 7.1 v2 to the corsair virtuoso and return the virtuoso within a week. They were so uncomfortable and the old krakens sounded way better imo. So i did some research and pretty much everyone besides this youtuber here recommends the blackshark v2 pro and ohhhhh man were those people right on the money with the reveiws. They sound soooo damn good and feel so good on my ears / head and my ears do not touch the drivers at all like the lousy virtuoso's did. "seriously the most uncomfortable head set i've ever had" But like Random Frank P said they have an amazing "even though fake" 7.1 surround sound and I can pinpoint all the footsteps and explosions in the distance perfectly. The best 7.1 i've heard on a headset no doubt at this price range. They are truly amazing and they are on sale on amazon atm. I personally love synapse and try to get all my products through razer so i can have it all on one app. I hate icue with a passion being it honestly just sucks. Crashes with app like hwinfo64 open and has lack luster rgb and headphones settings. Razer synapse is better in every way and I love being able to sign into another computer and all my settings I tuned to me are there once I log in. Corsair you have to start all over and dial your settings every time you log into another computer. But I also looked at the cloud 2's but they have no equalizer settings from what I read up and many people were complaining about that at that price point. And I don't blame them at all. You can't dial in the sound to your expensive headphones and you're stuck with whatever they send you out of the box. Once I saw that it was a huge nope on my part. As for mic quality goes i don't buy headsets for mic quality because i use a Blue snowball mic on my desk and never use the headphone mic so i couldn't tell yea. And I love that the blackshark allows it to be removable so it's out of view when gaming. One thing i don't like about the headset is the micro usb port... Razer has a issue with using old hardware on new hardware like the new razer led rgb controller uses molex for power.... Like wtf razer?.. Molex???? Like seriously wake up and get with the current times man. I've had bad experience with micro usb ports so to charge this headset i bought the magnetic charging cable where it detaches easily without plugging in or out of the micro connector port and so in return it won't wear out my usb port and will hopefully last longer than a year. If this headset had usb-c it would be a perfect 5 stars no doubt. But that's the only negative I have with the headset. Everything else which is more important is right on the money.
The steel series are probably the only ones that looks not gamery that you would go out and not get judge by others lol
I agree 😁
I was hoping for a Logitech G733 in here. Good video nonetheless! Keep it up
Same.
It's trash, that's why.
its not that great is why, sadly. just looks great. mic and sound really lacks for the price
@@kaileyvenus6886 tbh i bought g733 mostly for their weight which comes at 270g. Too bad everything else is mediocre at best.
@@eluminatti same here. Really disappointed that I have to leave the software uninstalled to be able to use xbox app :( and the software does help with the sounds. The feel of them are amazing though!
It's gonna be my second time coming here for headset recommendation. I've watch your review for the HD58X Jubilee and have been using them for a good while since. High quality and informative stuff.
I actually found the software on my Arctis 7 to be a problem for sound quality and soundstage. Directional audio in games was just broken. Music frequency curves were also broken. Without the software, everything was great. So, now I just install the software on a laptop to manage things like the power off timeout or do updates, but I do not install the software on my gaming PC.
So the sound quality is only good when the software is uninstalled?
@@itachiixellois7427 Maybe it's ok with the software, but definitely better without.
i love vids like these i don't see many creators go into so much depth when reviewing their products. keep up the good content mate
Your lighting game is above and beyond many tech channels, as always.
Great video Dmitry!
Thanks thanks :) putting a bit more emphasis on production lately. Glad its paying off :)
-D.
Can confirm. When I want to watch a video about a product (keyboard, mouse or headset or something else) I first look to see if you guys have a video about it
I appreciate the time and effort you put into making this video for all your viewers I have been trying to find a decent wireless headset and I finally have some great options to choose from, thank you very much.
I really want to see recommendations both for mic's, and headphones to pair with said mics. been thinking about what to follow after my arctis 5 and i might go for a separate mic and headphones, but dont know whats best for me to go for
Wow. The Mpow with no software BS, best mic in my ears and with the way you describe the sound ... I think that one is a no brainer for zoom calls / facetime / whatever.
What about Logitech G pros (X)
And it would be better if dimitri can find a solution about the sound lvl pro x is facing when ig. 🥲
sound is terrible, the mic is ok!
i want to say, the sound is not realistic, like you always find in some nice headset lets say 150 + euro
@@Silent-1983 Audio Technica m50x thoughts? No need for a mic just nice audio for gaming/music
@@Swankfunk they sound great and you can look up DT 770 PRO they are great too, remember this are brands that make amazing headsets design for amazing sound experience men, logitech, asus, are jokes compare to Audio Tehnica, Sennheiser , DT, Sony, so if you want clean sound you can buy that m50x, i think are the best on that price, but you can go to a store and try them out!
Great video!.. thanks for the hard works.. been looking for a new headset.. but wireless bandwidth technology still cant be compared to wired, especially it is so much needed in gaming.. would love to see an episode of wired gaming headset..
Thank you Dimitri, for answering my question on the last headphone video review. Now, I know what to get for my wife and daughter, great video, with all the information.
What about the Corsair Virtuoso?? you included the Corsair Void but that headset is pretty bad in comparison... Virtuoso is only $50 more with a way better build quality and much more features
Corsair Virtuoso, by far one of the best
as a virtuoso owner, can confirm.
Glad to hear you like it :) I found them to be really uncomfortable ... thus why it was omitted from this round up.
-D.
I'm having disconnecting issues and I have no idea how to fix it. I'm really unhappy... I have the SE.
@@HardwareCanucks I had to order other earpads in order to make them manageable tbh. They work well with the Brainwaves velour earpads.. but for such an expensive set.. you really shouldn't need to upgrade them.
As former owner of them I'd say it is the opposite. I had to return them, they are uncomfortable with pretty bad sound reproduction. Definitely one of the worst headphones I ever used.
I find Razer Synapse 2 to be great for checking wireless battery life, at least for my Razer Viper Ultimate, so not sure what problems you're having. They also show a battery percentage for you so you always know exactly how much you have left
Would've loved to see the Arctis Pro Wireless as imo they're very good after I tried several wireless headsets and couldn't find the perfect one before these. Next step is gonna try and find the audeze mobius.
I was interested in the Arctis Pro, but unfortunately I read in several reviews that they have the same fitting problem as the Arctis 7. Hope they refresh them with a better fit.
Audeze mobius still need to be wired for gaming, check out the penrose. Identical drivers and sound profile but BT and Wireless support. No headtracking but it's a gimmick.(only has 16 bit dac though as opposed to mobius 24bit). The hyper x orbit's are wired versions of the mobius (made by audeze and identical in every way) and are usually on sale.
@@spazco8669 mobius are actually wireless, penrose are more affordable than mobius so thats why the lack some features or are worse in some compared to mob
@@_sked8120 mobius are bluetooth so I always use them wired for gaming (series x and ps5 don't support bluetooth) Penrose are missing head tracking, which is a gimmick and inbuilt 3d dsp. But atmos/dtx etc is better anyway. If you're into high rez music files mobius are have a higher bit rate dac but that doesn't matter for gaming. The build, drivers and sound profile are identical. Penrose has better mic and software.
Forgot to mention the "slide mic up to mute" function of the void elite
Can you do one for 2021 wired? I know you did one 6 months ago, maybe add to that? If there are any new ones worth mentioning that is, please and thank you.
Best wired headsets aren't gaming headsets. A pair of reference cans and a modmic or boom pro win everytime.
Such an immersive and thorough way of reviewing headsets... This video really helps us choose which one we'd pick... Thank you...
No Audeze Penrose or Mobius?
No astros either
too expensive. this definately a budget roundup
I got the Penrose X for 247€ 2 weeks ago.
@@karenlewis4228 The Penrose is $300 MSRP which isn't that much more expensive than the rest of these and many headphone sellers will discount stuff if you just ask. At least it would be a nice headset to include as a premium option rather than ignore it. Astro headsets were skipped over as well like many others pointed out.
@@TOM7952 Kinda funny how Audeze's super budget entry level headphone (penrose) is considered premium next to every other gaming headset. The mobius really needs to be wired for gaming.
Thank you so much for the glasses testing. Insane how few people talk about it.
As someone who loves my HyperX Cloud 2, I am really disappointed that the wireless version has such a terrible mic
Sounds the same as the wired
Yeah I think there was something genuinely wrong with his specific Cloud 2 unit. I can't find a single other review that has that issue. It's the same mic as the cloud flight and flight s, and those are both way, way better than what he had going on.
@@amko899999 It does not in the slightest. At least in my experience. It's also a different microphone than on the wired version
i have the wired version and the mic feels miles better than the wireless version of the video. but that’s just me i guess
@@zhila5958 Same. I've had the wired version for almost 4 years now, and the microphone isn't close what so ever to what is shown in this video. Like Duncan said, it might be a faulty unit
Brilliant review. Very thorough. Thanks!
DUDE I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS ALL DAY YOU READ MY MIND
Excellent video! I also recommend RUNMUS gaming headsets because they are on a great budget, are bulky, strong, soft on the ears, beautiful and top quality.
Not gonna lie, I was expecting to see one the new-ish JBL quantum headsets.
I've got a quantum 800 comfy as hell and it sound great and mic is decent. Wireless range isn't that great. Main issue is the volume wheel moves easily when you take it off and put it down but doesn't seem to move when on your head which is strange.
The Quantum's are okay, but nothing special really, you would be only disappointed with them for sure. Too much bass, not very well controlled.
HyperX does one of the best headsets out there for gamers that are generally sounding flat, plenty of bass (well controlled), good balance overall and not too expensive.
I am currently using my Orbit S (Audeze Mobius) and these are the best headsets I ever had (and I went through quite a few), even beats my B&W hi-fi music headsets for music.
@@steveracer1985 My hyperx have good audio quality but poor mic quality. Same results hc got here.
@@OriginalMergatroid Only let down of any headset really. None of them sound great in terms of mic, wireless headsets are in general poor.
It is one of the trade offs.
It's also true that you going to use the "sound" more than the "mic".
If you want better mic quality, there are some great third party options.
The benefit on my headset is the fact it is a 3.5mm jack mic, so if needed I can change it for something else quite easily.
@@AaronDunnill I've got one too and i have to agree, comfy with great sound/decent mic quality and it looks awesome too, i would add some small issues like not being able to use the volume wheel on bluetooth or when wired(only works in 2.4), not being able to use it while charging also sucks, and the 7.1 surround is not that great but jbl desktop app is good!

@@reloadingdragon so why didnt he feature it?
I cant imagine the amount of work this would take
This was really helpful Thanks a lot
I own a Blackshark v2 pro and must say it is the best headset! Comfort, sound, and the microphone is excellent. Cannot understand why he is saying it isn't so good comfortwise that is not true, it is very comfortable. I got 0 clamping force when I use them. The sound & mircophone can be edited via equalizer as you like it. It has enough bass which also can be edited with the equalizer and with a function in the software. Yes the display of the battery life is the only thing I do not like about it, but the rest is perfect. I can only recommend it!
It's the material of the headcups, he not like the feel of it. And same goes for me, tried the Steelseries and hated it. After feeling the Blackshark out in a store it felt the same. It's to rough and scratchy.
Comfort is personal each to their own
Rough and scratchy???? Then the clothes you are wearing must be rough and scratchy for you too.
I have blackshark v2 pro and comfort maybe can compare with bose QC II cause I have that bose too
I have the Arctic 7 2019 and Arctic Pro Wireless. I bought the HyperX Cloud Wireless and was dissapointed: the sound isn't that good. I then bought the Logitech Pro X Wireless Lightspeed and man... that headset is awsome. Pitty it didn't show up in this video. As a person who games a lot. I can realy recommend the Arctic 7 2019 (not the pro), and the Logitech Pro X Wireless Lightspeed!!

Ived been on a wired open back headset for a while, but I remembered Logitech being the best wireless option. Has that changed drastically for them to not be included?
I know the Logitech G Pro X Wireless is rlly good. Idk why he didn’t include it. I think the main drawback is the mic quality
@@wayward4657 I think it might be the price since most of these are in the 100$-150$ range
I know this is 2 years old at this point, but those Mpows (and many other options from them) can be found for as little as $15 at times. At that price, it's hard to ignore them if you are on a budget. The wired EG3 Pros are what I have, and to me at least, they have fuller sound and you do get quite a bit directional audio compared to even the wired versions of the ones you reviewed here (I had the wired ones). Honestly, it's good to see a channel like yours covering them at least, because for a true budget option, it's hard to find anything as good, and far too many channels will say "budget" and then introduce a handful of $120+ headphones (and $200 seems to be "budget" to a lot of people when talking about keyboards for some reason)
The king is missing: G Pro X Wireless
(I hoped you could fix your PC settings, and be fair to its mic this round :))
Very good thorough review I also appreciate that you factor in the glasses equation well done
I like it. Those cables always get tangled up.
Ive had several issues with the Arctis 7 sound setup, particularly when playing countrer strike it would randomly mute the stereo channel (game, music, media ...) but not discord. I had to hard reset the pc to recover from it. I ended up scrapping the functionality of having 2 separate channels, is just way too buggy for me. Apart from that, I'm pretty satisfied with them, they work like a charm on ubuntu
