I used this channel A LOT when shopping for new headphones. Literally the best headphone review channel out there. The point being, I don't need new headphones any longer but I'm still here. The energy and charisma is just insane. Really enjoying the content!
Ive had my pair of Razer Blackshark V2X for a year and half now. I use them daily and I’ve absolutely zero problems with it. Their light weight and comfortable. They do a good job with noise cancellation with a good seal around your ears. The sound is really good for ONLY $40-$50. You can easily hear enemy footsteps and which direction they coming. The highs/mids/lows never mush all together. They make for a great gaming experience being able to hear everything nicely.
Ive had mine since 2021 and i am looking to replace it this year as the left is louder then the right the rubber around the wires is bursting open and audio cutting off for a fraction of a second Do keep in mind that i have no where to put my headphones so i rest it anywhere i have space and sometimes it did fall as it was in unsafe places
Is the wire removable/replaceable from the actual headphones. I've bought my son 3 pairs of 30-40 dollar headphones and they are all worthless once the wire is damaged. Are the Razer Blacksharks V2X removable?
I just recently got the razer barracuda x 2022 and I’ve been absolutely loving it! A big selling point for me was the Bluetooth so I can use it on everything. I had a Hyperx Cloud Flight S, but the dongle stopped working and Hyperx doesn’t sell them anymore sadly. It is nice to finally have Bluetooth, but the Flight S was so comfortable haha
I've had the HyperX for years and I love it. Best headset I ever had. Sounds great and I find it to be comfortable. A bit heavier than a few others I have owned, but It's still great.
ty - just wanted to add my thoughts after getting Corsair HS65 surround...tried them for couple of weeks...I wear glasses and pressure was there due to clamping and not the most comfortable. Am going to test RIG 700s to see how they are as ultra lightweights and ack back. ty again.
I will say, this is more of a sale list, not a budget headset list, when a headset is usually 80 bucks but its on sale for 50 or below, that doesn't make it a 50 or below headset.
I bought my brother the recon 500 for Christmas thanks to a recommendation from one of your older videos. He uses some nasty headsets so I'm sure he's gonna love them. Great channel techne keep these videos coming.
I bought the Arctis Nova 1 and it's a shit headset while many, many people claim it's a good budget headset. First off, the 3 positives: I've not bought a lot of headsets but it's the most comfortable budget headset (under 50 euros) to wear that I've bought. Both the earcups and the headband are very comfortable and I can wear them for hours. Secondly, the mic passively cancels out background noise decently. I've got a mobile airco unit 3 meter away and only a slight buzz is noticeable. 3: The 3,5 mm cable makes it multi-platform versatile. Now, on with the negatives and there's 3 massive ones. 1: The mic is trash. It sounds similar to the Arctis Nova 7 in this video. It feels like I'm speaking into a tin can when I listen to video's I made through the PS5. For comparison, I've bought both 2 other budget headsets; a Turtle Beach Recon 500 (wired) and a JBL Quantum 350 (wireless dongle) and they sound better than the Arctis Nova 1, especially the JBL. The Nova 1 mic is very sensitive to which direction the sound comes from but even when I'm practically deepthroating the mic, it sounds a tin can. 2: I play couch co-op on PS5 with friends who borrow my JBL Quantum 350 and there's an echo through the Arctis Nova 1 in co-op videos, despite me lowering the sound of my mic in order to try and prevent it, from recording it's own sound. The JBL headset is wireless and even having two of them connected to the PS5 at the same time, doesn't cause an echo when used during coach co-op but the Arctis Nova itself does echo. The JBL doesn't seep through my voice when they talk but my voice has an echo when I talk during videos with the Nova 1. I've lowered the mic output, the headset's sound itself. Muting the PS5 controller mic mutes my voice entirely and so does the mute button on the headset itself. Both mute buttons do the same thing so it's not like having both on means that itself causes the echo. The Turtle Beach Recon 500 wired has the same problem when used simultaneously with the JBL. It's like using 2 types of connection doesn't work since Sony, Microsoft asshats want people to each buy a console instead to make that extra dough. 3: The mic cuts out half a second of noise every so often when used. This means that my sentences get cut off or words in the middle are missing from videos regularly. 4: Due to me lowering the headset's sound, in order to try and stop the headset from picking up it's own noise, if that even is the problem for the echo; the headset, when turning the wheel to full volume, is set to normal sound levels. That's very soft but if I increase the sound, the echoing gets louder. 5: The wire from the headset brushes my shoulder, chest and arm and you can hear that in videos, even when I have it draped over my shoulder/back to try and prevent the brushing noise. What is it with budget, wired headsets and their issues? Anyone got a proper solution for this? I'm seriously thinking about not buying a wired, budget headset for a few years now to see if the manufacturers come up with something better.
Lotta people have given up on the Turtle Beach brand? Is it because they have a reputation for consistently pushing out garbage products? I am not a gamer so can anyone explain why?
Good headset for ps5? I was leaning towards steelseries 7p+ but did not want to over pay if there is a different pair for cheaper that are just as good
I have a very hard question: The original HyperX cloud had extremely limited headroom adjustment, almost for kids heads only. Did they ever fix that in Cloud II?
Great video, thanks for the recommendations! A bit of criticism of mine would be the video saturation, everything was super bright and a lot of detail was lost in the colors, consider lowering the saturation just a bit and see how it looks. Again, thanks for the informative and enthusiastic video!
I have dozens of headsets, some costing over $200, and I still keep using the G435 as my main. I love the sound of it, and how light it is. It feels like you're literally wearing nothing. The microphone is the only letdown for me, but for the price I paid for mine ($18 on Target Clearance), I'm blown away. The sound is surprisingly full and deep for being a budget wireless headset. Love it!
I have a question about HyperX Cloud II headset. I heard a lot of people saying that since hp bought hyperX they changed the headphones significantly and that they are not the same. I dont know are they even selling the new ones and if they are should I buy them?
Ty. I found HS65 clamping force uncomfortable with glasses.. black shark v2 X tends to get spicy but not a great sound imo. Any thing else to try next?
I also recently tried Corsair HS80 RGB Wireless. for some reason, it gave me a headache and wasn't the most comfortable with clamping force. sound and mic was awesome. had to return it. not sure what to try anymore. probably steelseries novas at this point.
Hi, im thinking of buying a new headset. I saw your video and i don't really know what to choose. I've narrowed it down to g 435 and Corsair HS65 Surround. I dont really care about wirelesness or microphone, i just want a good headset for gaming and music, which do i choose? or do you have some other suggestions? (if you even see that comment)
I know this video was for headsets under £50, but currently on Amazon the HyperX Cloud Core Wireless is £70 and it easily beats and much better than every single headset in this video or the HyperX Cloud 2 Wireless is currently £83. Spend just a little more, but getting much better sound for the money
Would you recommend the older cloudX? I see them on sale right now for £35 I’m more of a earbud person but with a recent ear infection I feel that I’m wearing buds to long.
I got the turtle beach recon 500's and their very comfortable but I can't help but feel like the sound is not as great as I expected. I have no idea if there's a setting in COD MW2022 or if it's my console or whatever it is but any semblance of directional audio seems to be gone at times especially when I use this for my phone, I have to turn on the 3D audio setting in my phone for it to really kick in. Is there something I'm missing with these cans?
guys can someone tell me what is the best i need to buy new one most of my friends recomneded me for steelseries arctis 3. it lives from long use, because most of my old headphones are ruined by poor plastic for long time use dont get me wrong i take good care of it but with time the poor plastic start to breaks bit by bit what is the best Budget under like 60$ for long use ?
Happy New Years TechNe. Love your channel. Been binge watching your videos even after making my headset purchase. Thank you for the entertaining/educational content.
The Cooler Master MH630 is good as these headset? In my country the MH630 is now really cheap and I think about it very much, but I dunno what headset should I pick.. Its a really hard choise.
Hey Techne can you help me with something? I'm trying to decide between the Corsair HS65 or Epos H3. Both similarly priced from where I live. Which would you pick?
Thank you for this informative video very well done. I am interested in the blackshark vx2 for my ps5 and want to plug it into my controller. But I am seeing there are a few buying options ( pc and ps5 ) both can have 3.5 but the pc one says it does not work with ps5. So I can get the option that says it’s for ps5 but it costs more. It doesn’t make sense to me since they both can be plugged in the same way.
I knew I'm late but literally not a single one of these are at the price point of 50 bucks. All of them are more expensive. Maybe its a really bad idea to base your entire list of budget headsets on products that are a higher price range but discounted.
Wow! $30 for the G435 is an absolute must buy! I have a pretty big head and it still fits me and I do think due to the light weight, it is comfortable. It may not be the best headset for gaming but the functionality it offers at this price point is unbeatable. Thank you for a great video!
Thanks so much for your vids. So many peeps don't talk about noise isolation, I live with neighbours right outside my window daily, any chance we could get a vid about that? Anker seem to be leaders with budget ANC, but how about for gaming?

Do they work well for calls and multiplayer games? Or does the sound get all weird?

Came here looking for budget headsets that pack a punch. Was not disappointed.
I’m terms of sound quality, which one is the best one out of all of them?
Damn these $50 headsets are like $100 dollar in Asian Countries
Even in Canada, some of them are over $100
same in europe
Wow that was fast i only asked last week 😁😁🤗🤗
Hehe nice
Which of these would be in the top 3 for best sound and mic quality
I just recently got the razer barracuda x 2022 and I’ve been absolutely loving it! A big selling point for me was the Bluetooth so I can use it on everything. I had a Hyperx Cloud Flight S, but the dongle stopped working and Hyperx doesn’t sell them anymore sadly. It is nice to finally have Bluetooth, but the Flight S was so comfortable haha

Which one of these is best for just sound alone like for watching stuff and playing games … idc about mic Audio but just sound alone 😊
Should i buy the steelseries arctis nova 1
I have a hyperx stinger, really comfortable ( down fall is the mic might brake )
I want a headset thats as good or better
Why does bro look like he’s from breaking bad?

Noe i wonder Which is best?
Sir which of these headsets sounds better when listening to music? More clear sound for me
I will say, this is more of a sale list, not a budget headset list, when a headset is usually 80 bucks but its on sale for 50 or below, that doesn't make it a 50 or below headset.
Do the Recon 500s have big ear cups? Do they crush your ears or do your ears fit nicely inbetween the cushions.
does the Razer BlackShark V2 X work on xbox

i can only find the hyperz cloud 2’s for triple digit prices how did u get it for 50? no hate love the vid and the energy but just wondering
so what one is the best?
Can I ask for a personal preference for a gamer who plays a lot of call of duty?
Lotta people have given up on the Turtle Beach brand? Is it because they have a reputation for consistently pushing out garbage products? I am not a gamer so can anyone explain why?
Between the turtle beach recon 500 and the Corsair hs65 surround, which do you like better?
Just went ahead and bought the corsair HS65 about 5 minutes ago, excited for their arrival already!
Is it good?
I need a Bluetooth one with a good microphone. Do you know any?
Have you done a video where you compare mics?
Would you know online stores where we can get these?
Appreciate the awesome videos
Hey man, whats the best headset here or in general for playstation for fps shooter games under £50? Love the videos man
what would u say is the best gaming headset for sound rn boss? wired/non-wired doesnt matter, and the budget is max 500 usd.
i was here wen he had only 23k sub,its beautiful to see how far u have came techne
Which one of these has the best microphone quality/clarity?
I think turtle beach
What’s better nova 1 or hs65? Pls respond
so which one is the best out of all of them?
Hyperx
Which out of all of these are the actual best
Good headset for ps5? I was leaning towards steelseries 7p+ but did not want to over pay if there is a different pair for cheaper that are just as good
Did you end up getting it and how was it??
I have a very hard question:
The original HyperX cloud had extremely limited headroom adjustment, almost for kids heads only.
Did they ever fix that in Cloud II?
it's not massive by any means, but I can wear it with a hat
Great video man
So @Techne which would you say has the best sound and is suitable for a big ol head?
Great video, thanks for the recommendations! A bit of criticism of mine would be the video saturation, everything was super bright and a lot of detail was lost in the colors, consider lowering the saturation just a bit and see how it looks. Again, thanks for the informative and enthusiastic video!
Thanks dude! I got one for my self and it was so cheap!
What's the best cheap headset with noise cancelation? I hate it when people can hear themselves talking cause my headset is a tiny bit too loud.
are these ranked from best to worst or?
The cloud 2 is a 'renew' if i'm not wrong, and there's some changes that people didn't like
Yeah they are a lot worse now
Ended up grabbing a pair of the red camo wicked cushions.. I got big ears and glasses... they were a major upgrade with the velour hybrid.
hey quick question, Cloud stinger 2's or arctis 1's?
Accurate and precise. Love it
