STOP buying expensive gaming headsets

An explanation of why expensive gaming headsets (usually) are not worth the money.

I wish the audiophile companies would just slam a detachable mic on their headphones

[GTXsnowball]

finally someone nailed it Thats what is going on right now with the whole crazy prices since the Pandemy. Most of these brands are just running up and down a tree to manufacture more and more crap of the same quality and lift the price tag as much as they can. Insanity.

It´s crazy how I was about to buy the Arctis 5 for like $120 but I decided to just go for the Arctis 3 at $35 and then this video appeared in my feed...

People do buy for the tech and not for the sound. Some find wires a hassle hence the paying for a premium for a wireless despite the sound

Appreciate the honesty man. You mind dropping your EQ settings for the penrose? 🙏 thank you

[EagleCloudy]

Love the Vid! recently i took a deep dive into getting new pair of headphones and realized how badly priced headphones with some extra features. my last pair of headphones were the audeze penrose and i agree there are worth 300$ but I often have one earcup off and after doing that constantly they broke after about 8 months! My current pair is VZR model one with insane build quality and 3d audio precision! wish some of these big companies would push to make the best product like audeze and VZR have done!

Thanks for the honest video. I think I am going to go with the Arctis 3 Console wired. Bought a pair of Turtle Beach 600 Max a couple weeks ago and just not worth $110.

Subscribed because you speak the truth.

I made the mistake of buying the Steelseries Arctis 7 plus after watching Techne’s review on it. Big mistake the sound quality is TERRIBLE, i ended up purchasing the Corsair HS80 and I couldnt be happier with it.

VZR Model One. Best $350 you can spend on a headset, if you're completely set on the wireless convenience...

[cosmicheretic]

Thanks for not blowing smoke. What are your thoughts on using a Mixamp Pro TR from my Series X with a audio extractor over toslink with say my HD6XX or my Sundara's? I will use a lap mic if I need one.

[MrSkme]

Im curious what you'd say about the VZR model one. People talk really warmly about it, in the same boat as the penrose except just more comfortable and more bassy.

[TheSpiritedFendron]

really disrespecting my open H6Pro like that

[Vincenzosan]

you are the best! by now I only trust your opinions .. I have the astro at 40 paid 160 dollars with a sound blaster g 3 and to play cod I use the hyperx cloud alpha s paid for half

[LewisM]

Please can you review the Epos H6 pro open back. Would be great to hear your views as I feel your provide honest and to the point reviews and I’ve used many gaming headphone and audiophile headphones and feel the h6pro has the perfect balance of quality, comfort and sound.

[hazzasegura]

Thanks for your honesty bro. I just subscribed. 💯

I would mostly agree with this video. The comfort, the sound, and the microphone is all that matters. An example of excellent headsets that don't break the bank are: Steelseries Arctis Nova 1, Sennheiser GSP 300, EPOS H3, and Corsair HS65. The more features companies shove into a headset, the more expensive it is, and the more problems it has.

[TreSwayy]

Now I remember. It was the mobius I bought years ago. I was severely unimpressed. Especially with the head tracking crap. Shit is extremely pointless, who turns their head while consuming media? Lmao

[danewchamp]

whats your daily driver for fps? PC38x is great still..also check our VZR Model One too, pretty pricey but getting good praise by some reviewers. Interested on your take.

[boneknockgrit]

yeah, addition features clearly insane over price.

[JaxDobba]

What do you think of the Corsair Virtouso Wireless XT? Is that also a headset that you don't recommend?
