So we arent gonna talk about how good that microphone is????
ruclips.net/video/B2a250w0y1I/видео.html
The mic in the video Sounds better then then mine
Tritton kunai has the best mic I've ever seen in a headset
Picking these up in blue
@@Graphics_Card yea i have the blue ones. they’re beautiful
Man, that's absolutely the best sounding microphone on a wireless headset. unreal.
Thanks for this! I ended up getting a pair before your review but you do them justice. I hope you get more subs, your reviews are really good.
Thank you!!
After a while of owning them are there any drawbacks or issues?
@@Big_Boss92 wanna know this aswell....
@@memecity6722 I ended up buying them for £40 on sale. Sound is decent for stereo headphones. I don't lose connection at all. Overall very happy with them for the money and purpose. Sound is great for how much I payed for them, on par with my old £100+ Turtle Beaches from a few years back. I can hear footsteps, enemy revives/reloads at a distance. I have since given them to my 7 year old nephew as my fiancé got me a new Turtle Beach Pair which I could t justify the price for but was lucky to get for my birthday.
Overall 7/10 good but not fantastic. Also a thing to note is if you use it on a PS4 it will mess with its WiFi badly! I play on a wired pc so this issue does not affect me but I did try it to see it it works for you.
That is a very nice and clean review. Gratz!
i will have to say that these headphones are great. been using them for a year now on war zone and no one complains about any sound issues or not hearing me clearly. the in game sounds are great. bought them for $80 cad at the time and got a $20 rebate so i'm more than impressed with these.
$25 on ebay now lol these headphones are hot garbage. They need a lot of tuning
@@vampcaff I just bought them for 27. Don't have high hopes but really dont need anything crazy. Just got annoyed of cords while laying in bed on my laptop. Ive had the Xbox wireless headset, arctis 1s, rig 800lx, shp9500s.... All of those were around 100 dollars. Will the mpows compare? I thought the arcris and rigs were garbage tho
@@vampcaff They do need tuning but for the money they are okay, to me the drivers are a bit shallow and random wireless interference can be an issue as well.
The microphone is awesome, so much better than most headsets.
great video, your review convinced me to buy one. subbed.
Yeah I had all kinds headsets from Turtle Beaches to Astro and they suck I was so surprised by mpow there's other good brands out there like steelseries HyperX Sony headsets if you like playing on the PlayStation.
thank you for the mic test!
I don't see the plastic caps on the earcups as a big disadvantage, as this is probably firstly the reason that the reception is so good and secondly this is the best element to save on, as it doesn't affect the stability of the headset, nor the wearing comfort.
And to make it lighter overall
This is reeeeeeeaaaaaallllllyyyyyy helpful and the audio is just👌👌
Does it work on the ps5
@@jimlazo6392 i have no idea i dont have a ps5 rip
The only reason Im looking for wireless is because every time I break my mic it's because of the wires. I'm hoping these will fix that problem
same dude,i had this for 52 euros and all the headsets i had always broke because of the wires. I have high hopes on this.
@@yago237 Dude are you a clone of me xD?
Very relatable. Most of the headsets I have owned are usually trashed cause of the wire or broken connection.
Same, my current one has mic issues on discord
I actually have one. And I gotta tell you, if you buy one you WILL get your money's worth.
Updated version for September 2020, the mic cannot be removed anymore cause sometimes it was working and sometimes not, so they made it non-detachable anymore [OFFICIAL SOURCE FROM THE MANUFACTURE]
It's only 40$ on alibaba
its not funny, on my package i read detachable and i become this not from headphone and now i see your comment... i send it back, when i sleep on with headphone is the mic after 1 month broken.
@@jenshuxley Yes i asked the manufacture about it before buying and explained the problems with the detacable ones and how they made them non-detachable anymore for the Air 2 and the wireless one i don't remember the name
good to know after i fucking riped it off... looking at the video i was like alright , well this was hard t oget out but not that much .. anyway getting an other one
I was trying to pull this thing iff😂
When you test the mic, make some noise in the background so we can hear how much it picks up.
@BitXubse would it be good to block out outside traffic or an air conditioner?
@BitXubse so yes to traffic and no to air conditioning?
@BitXubse I just live in NYC, so there's always noise outside. I don't mind that, but I have a loud air con and it get hot as hell in the summer.
I’ve had mine for 3 years and it’s still holding up. The leather on the ear cuffs have some tears but can’t notice when you put them on. Sound quality is nice and mic is nice. No echo
All I want to know if the max volume is louder than on Hyperx Cloud Alpha connected wirelessly to PS4.
Thanks for the review bud.
The microphone is pretty great good quality. I think it is pretty ok for gamers like you.
Thanks for this I needed a new headset for my ps4 thx dude
No problem 👍
Is it working?
Does it work?
@@ddyl7n674 yeah
XxDiamondninjaxX it works for your ps4?
is there a way to change the frequency so 2 people can both be using a headset with interfering with each other?
Underrated item
What's the best noise cancelling mic for recording in a loud environment?
Holy crap. That mic quality is amazing. Someone local to me is selling theirs for $15. I'll cop as a backup lol
i have a question please; i work in a call centre & lots of noise around me & I need something that is soft on my ear cz i am going home sometimes with a headache. would u recommend this headset cz on sale now on Amazon?
is there a delay between the audio of the headphones and the in game audio?
I bought this product but after less than a week of use there was a problem. The headset just randomly started echoing, it almost felt like the sound you were hearing was underwater and you could barely hear it and what you could hear was very bad quality. Is there a way to fix this?
thanks for convincing me to get one. was able to cop these at $44 converted due to it being on a flash sale. also, any earcups that can be replaced with any hyperx headset can be also used here. rocking some thick cups and they sound much better than stock. no idea with replacement headbands and extra detachable mics though but I'm keen on trying those out
what hyperx earpads fiot on these?
anything that fit cloud/cloud2/alpha snugs in nicely
@@seibertron500 do they sound at least somewhat similar to cloud 2s?
I really wish they'd update the box and manuals and stuff (or at least the webpages) to tell how the mic is not detachable anymore. I was so confused why it came installed and I'm about to get a desk mic so I was trying to figure out how I was supposed to detach it.
I know. although some retailers now explicitly say the headsets do not have the removable mic, I wish the packaging and even the website reflected this
Do you need to have the mic in when you are using it?
Hey, I’ve ran into a problem using these and was wondering if you knew anything. When changing in game volume like on COD say changing the music volume it will stay the exact same. Have you realized this? How have you fixed it?
I have been using these for 4 months now and agree with everything here EXCEPT ear sweat. I usually have that issue with so many other headphones but I can wear these for hours while I edit video and they are SUPER comfy, cover the whole ear and again, no sweating.
Hello I've read you can't use them while charging... Is that true?
@@pabaXD that is true.
Hi, is it over-ear? And could you please tell me if does it got a good bass?
@@YanBaeta it is OVER ear and it has good bass but its not very clear bass.
@@MatteusClement thank u for your answer. So you consider it a good and imersive sound for gaming?
How would you compare them to Hyperx Cloud Alpha as far as dual chambers? I've had those and I loved the sound.
I have the mpow wireless head set but mine won't connect for some reason what am I doing wrong? Why won't mine connect do you need some sort of app with it?
Ridiculously professional. Can you do the MPOW Air II for 25 bucks and compare them to these?
I just had a quick question. Can we charge and use these at the same time?
the over all quality of the headset and the feel is great, however i am getting random disconnects and it will come back immediately does anyone know how to fix this problem?
How is the latency ? Is the delay noticable compared to wired headsets ?
Se pueden usar inalámbricos en xbox one?
Anyone know why the mic doesn't mute when running these with the included wire? Seems to only mute the mic when connected wirelessly on mine which I assume is by design but just checking if you guys are experiencing the same thing? Thanks
I just bought this headset and connected it with my PC. But unfortunately there is a little rustle on the left earbud. Can someone help me please.
I am actually looking to buy one for my office computer, which doesn't allow me to connect Bluetooth headphones. The mic seems really good for meetings!
Does this headset have sidetone feature? Voice monitoring?
Thanks for this review, definitely picking up a pair. Doubt I can get better bang for buck at this price point...
How is it?
@@siruis7300 they're a decent pair so far. Bought the grey/silver version.
Like most reviews mentioned, they aren't the best if you're tryna go for super premium audio and mic quality, but for that mid range tier where they're not cheap but also not too pricey they get the job done for just gaming with friends and stuff.
Audio's been good to me, the ear cushions are comfy, battery life as well since I hardly game for more than like 2-4hrs max they've never run out on me, tho you can't charge them and use them simultaneously so that might annoy people. And also the one thing that I would've loved to have was a battery low warning or some way of telling how much charge was in them even if it was via color signal or something, so for those that would then wanna game for prolonged periods you wouldn't be able to know how much charge was in them aside from estimates.
So yeah yet to face any difficulties with them so touch wood and cross all my fingers hahaha...
@@TheOnlyTaps can you give an update?
@@whiffa5438 as I noted to the other comment they were good bang for buck. Still using them to this day, except I now rotate them with a pair of steelseries arctis 1 wireless I picked up on a discount sale.
Didn't experience any issues with the Mpow's to this day though, aside from the audio occasionally cutting out when the signal doesn't pick up. I presume from when I move around the room too much or something, yet to figure it out. But otherwise the big downside like I mentioned is the lack of a battery metre or warning, even though I've never run out using them, I would have enjoyed that feature so that at least I know. But what I just do is I make sure to charge them for a few mins every other day.
The Steelseries arctis has that advantage over them, with the light warning to show battery percentage. And a better noise cancelling mic.
@@TheOnlyTaps thanks
Can you bluetooth these to your phone can't find them for some reason
how is the surround sound and what does it support?
Does this headset have mic monitoring built in? As in does it play the mic audio back through the earcups rather than just having to listen to your muffled voice drowned out but game audio? Would be a dealbreaker for me
please please please reply soon , does the usb thing connect to switch?
Is it possible to buy a separate usb dongle for 2.4GHz Wireless? Where?
How do I make it to where ppl can hear me talk
is it ok just for make calls on a phone?
For me the detachable mic is not working ! Can you please help?
make sure your receiver is "seen" by the headset, basically make sure you can also see the receiver for optimal use, using a USB hub or extender is recommended if connecting to the front USB ports is not possible so you can place it anywhere in front of you instead. if you connect it to the rear where you don't visibly see it, the mic won't work and you'd hear garbled noises or getting cut off instead
for me I get an alert notification on my phone or laptop if the headphones reach 30% and whenever it lessens down by another 10% so its pretty cool
Does it work on xbx 1? Also does it works with davinci resolve for u?
Hi! Nice video!!
Hi, is it over-ear? And could you please tell me if does it got a good bass?
What do you mean by over ear? It is over your ear. Sound is great.
Hi can you use these wirelessly on a TV?
What would you recommend between this headset and hyperx cloud stonger core wireless
I would recommend this one if you just want comfort, bass, premium design, and sound from cheap headset! This one is price to performance and they are cheaper than the “Stonger” core wireless!
So iam a little confused should I buy an astro a10 it has more positive reviews everywhere or this mpow headsets which have literally less to no reviews on websites.
My main usage is for gaming I need a good mic too, iam not sure if the Bluetooth connectivity with the ps4 is good with this headset so please help
thx bro mines coming tomorrow😌
Mine just doesn’t charge any more, any suggestions?
Dose anyone know if I can plug in the aux and connect it to my ps4 and have the out put to the tv aux
Do they work with 3d audio Playstation 5?
Can you suggest a white wireless gaming headset with 2.4 ghz under 100$?
i dont have bluetooth on my computer do i need it for the headset or do i just need the dongle
As far as i know, the dongle comes with the headphone. So you just have to insert the usb dongle to your pc, turn on ur mic and go settings then go to bluetooth and you should be able to configure the headphone
do these work in wired mode? i have a pair that i use for my pc but whenever i try using it in wired mode i cant hear anything.
Try putting the wire on when you’re running on low battery mi wire works
What do I do if the USB I got is now broken
The mic is amazing
How they are now? What's about the sound quality?
I thinking of buying but the newest model does not have detachable mic anymore so I change now my mind
Thanks for the shedding some light on this product brought the same product but mine won't connect to the bluetooth dongle , blue keeps blinking and times out. i have got no sound and its very frustrating any help please. My laptop is an acer nitro 5 ANSI51
have a set and the sound quality is good, my only complaint is the mic connection keep dropping out when using it on the PS4, any way to fix this? its got the removable mic, as well
So is the headset still working or no
Hi,
Will it work wireless with my iphone?
Which brand is that cap?
can someone help me i got the headphones but the audio sounds trash
Does anyone know if this works with the PS5?
that mic quality is crazy good wow
nah i have it and its trash
@@jericho9327 I have it to it’s really good wdym
@@RoundzFN I think it’s not meant to be really for console but more for pc because pc of course has better sound optimization and all that but they don’t market console as much
@@Graphics_Card yea, I agree, luckily I have a pc and ps4 so its good
Do you guys experience random disconnection even if the headphones are fully charged?
Yes it's due to overheating of the usb dongle for pc but if your not on pc I'm not sure
can i replace earpads of this headset?
Is it comparable (besides the look) to the Cloud Alpha?
Currently rocking those and want to get wireless without spending like 200 bucks.
They are 60 bucks on Amazon atm and if they sound as good or comparable, I'll make the buy.
I got the cloud II but it broke, this one is literally the same, but wireless and cheaper
I got them from amazon for £23 as my first gaming headphones after my cat eat my playstation earphone and I'm going to be honest I love them comfortable and doesn't feel flimsy and has a strong wireless connection and amazing audio, I started playing with these for about 8 hours and was amazing I could even hear people coming up from behind me in a survival stealth game
I got mine from Walmart for $21
Does it work on as a ps4 mic?
Can you use both wireless and wired at the same time? Trying to connect wirelessly with my PS4 and wired with my iPad for Discord.
no. it will use either mode only
Mpow 2.4g or Sennheiser GSP 370 ? Is GSP 370 has bad mic ?
How can it be connected to a mobile phone?
How do you connect them to xbox?
I have these but the mic stops working on my ps5 during party chat after about 10 seconds. My friend says it sounds like a robot on their end then nothing. When I have it wired the mic works but there's an echo, my friend hears himself. Anyone else have this problem?
Ok my detachable mic is not working how do I fix thid
make sure the receiver can "see" the headset, otherwise you'd hear garbled noises. by see, I mean that if you can visibly see the receiver, then its good. the closer the receiver, the better the connection. so its recommended to plug this in via the front panel or any usb hub
Are the earpads replaceable? They seem quite similar to the cloud alphas
yes. anything that fit cloud/cloud2/alpha can be used with this one
What software do you use to record?
I have the problem with that, n discord my friends listen my music like backgrounds but Im wearing headphones any help?
Lower mic volume
You mentioned the microphone is removable, is this the full arm or just the foam cover? if it can be removed do you just pull it out, as it seems really well secured into the main body?
in the previous models, the whole mic was removable like in a lot of gaming headsets. but there's a variant with the non-removable mic now, which is probably due to the microphone issue. granted I got a lucky with a unit that had no problems at all
Mines wont work how do i work it
Can i use them with iPhone
I bought these and tried with iPhone through 3.5 to lightning port but the voice is too loww😓
Great review. I'm going to buy a pair based on it.
Did you purchased it ?
Is the mic still detachable or not and if not then how's the quality
@@jazminrj2005 I haven't used the mic yet so I don't know about the quality.
The book says it's detachable, and I've tried to take it off, but I was afraid I'd break it.
@@Smart_boy2001 Yep. I really like it.
@@kingoftipton1 The newer design doesn't have a detachable mic. I was thinking of ordering this mic for my brother. Would you recommend it while gaming, is the sound quality good?
2 years later I bought this on sale for 27$ really recommend
On Amazon it’s on sale
Hey, 3 months down the line are they still good?
I purchased this one and the receiver was damaged after 3 months and MPOW dont sell this separately. It sucks.
How do you get the microphone to work with the headset? I plug it in and the headset just turns off. Same in wired mode.
Edit: I figured it out, I plugged the microphone into the wrong slot.
LOL
How is it?
@@siruis7300 it's not reliable, at least for me. After all these issues I had with it I just gave up and used the set-up I used before I got it.
But other than that, the sound is decent and the mic is good, I just don't like the head strap thing, it hurt the top of my head.
@@Icedrous hmm okok thanks!
Can connect to ps4? does it work fine with Ps4 party chat? Plz let me know ASAP
I recently bought this headset. In Microsoft Teams calls the other party is saying they hear a tone coming from my end of the call. They say it happens seemingly randomly ever few minutes. I've heard it at the same time as others in the call a couple of times. Did you experience anything like that?
do you have another 2.4ghz wireless device? I have to keep my dongles about 4 inches apart to stop interference
@@MatteusClement My switch, but it's at least a foot away.
How do you charge it up
Looks good to me, where to find better price/quality? Top. 👍
Can my streaming software recognize them. Say my el gato software?
I can't get the microphone unplugged after I plugged it in once. It's so tight that I'm not sure if it's removable...
But in your video I see that it is removable. It's bombproof for me!
the newer revisions no longer have the removable mic since it caused issues for some users. I had the first release with a removable mic and works great until now
