That mic test was amazing... great choice.

[Jaypher]

That mic comparison at the end was absolutely amazing 😂

I'm not sure about the beyerdynamic MMX 200, but I have the beyerdynamic MMX 100 and the microphone randomly began cutting out after about 6 months (just a warning for those looking at these)
The sound quality is wonderful tho :)

[ScottHermanFitness]

AMAZING review video! So happy to see GadgetTryTech on the channel! Keep up the great work guys!

The sound augmentation on the MMX is something I tend to look for as a gaming mom. Especially when the kiddos aren't in the same room with me. Allows me to hear what's going on with them but still able to enjoy some me time as well.

its insane turtle beach managed to allow us to not only hear the sounds of the footsteps but also **see** their **footprints**

[JoeyOsteShleven]

My biggest personal disappointment was the lack of an inline chat/game mixer (except for maybe the last headset...I couldnt tell). This is a requirement for any headset I own. With how inconsistent teammate's mic volumes can be, this feature is by far my favorite. It's annoying having to change it in game every couple matches to get the mix I want.

20:30 If this is the BlackShark mic then that is crazy cuz I honestly couldn't even tell you switched from your designated microphone to a headset one. I have heard that the audio is kind of mediocre on it though, especially when it compares to SteelSeries and Maxwell what would you guys say this headset compares to it in that department?

[miniDrew]

The Razer Blackshark mic is the best I have ever heard on a headset, hands down. Truly incredible.

Maxwell owner here. the drawback? It is a risky headset. Its driver is very sensitive that has a relatively higher chance to break if you messed up some "pressure" on the earcups. The foil can wrinkle and it most likely would affect the audio. Mine had some wrinkle and stopped working on 1 side after 3 months, replaced with warranty. The new one does not have any wrinkle at start.. but now has very small ones. I can hear some crackling sound (with or without audios playing in the headset) when moving my head. Hopefully it does not break like my first one. Some says that one of the cause of the wrinkle is when the earcup is pressed in your head, creating changes in pressure. or even when removing the headset using one hand which causes some pressure on the other side. something like that.
Another one, is that for gaming, footsteps or sound stage is not the best. it is great, but not on top unlike other gaming headsets.

Sound quality is the best though

I picked up the Skullcandy SLYR Pro’s and I’m super impressed. Not seen many people review, but they have an on-board EQ that can be used for console; not sure if other headsets do this!

Getting my note pad ready for when my A50s die on me

[Smiy]

I’ve tried half of these, and Logitech X 2 pro wireless has been my personal favorite. Largely for comfort, looks, and sound quality. Wish mic was better but I only use for discord so all good.

[bronyraur]

How come Astro's never get rec anymore, by far have been my personal favorite. Astro A50's specifically. Went through Razer, Corsair, Turtle beach (lol), and ended up at Astro's. Everything sounds cheap when compared.

swapped from 2023 blackshark v2 pro to hyperx cloud 3 wireless, and I must say the hyperx cloud 3's are being slept on very comfortable and audio/mic is so nice

[aniva]

I feel disappointed for the HS80 max. I have the original HS80 and i love them! Why would they downgrade the microphone so much :(

[SSJ_EWGF]

Really needed this for the weekend giving its black Friday season

[mrnine]

Great reviews! I was finding several review videos and I love the way you laid it all out and did the mic tests. I just clicked subscribe because of the great video. Also, that dudes beard is ON POINT!

[laleigon]

I will either for the Beyerdynamic or the Audeze they are the better manufacturer and have the better sound stage also if you can have a separate mic you its better to get some Beyerdynamic DT 900 Pro x

[Broba_Fett]

I love my Virtuoso Pros. The sound is great and definitely has that extra bass which I like. My only complaints are I wish the padding on the ear cups was more comfortable (hoping for aftermarket options) and if they were more over ear than on ear. Also the braided cable can make noise with friction. Other than that I love everything about them.
