If there is enough bandwidth to generate a sound, there must be enough bandwidth to record a sound.

I was VERY tempted to buy the GSP 370s as my first wireless pair of headsets, but couldn't find reviews. Instead I went for the arctis pro + gamedac for £140 brand new. Only regret is the short usb cable, though they sound amazing. Much better than my cloud 2s which I loved.

I own the Beyerdynamic mmx 300 G2 and they are awesome for gaming with friends, nice sound and they fit very comfortably for 3 hour gaming sessions (when im lucky). I don't really have time anymore as an adult to game for more than that at one time but I think they would be awesome for longer sessions too! the mic is clear and the audio delivered during gaming is more than sufficient and able to give me good awareness of my surroundings! I also own a pair of Beyerdynamic DT1990 Pro's that I use for gaming alone and listening to music. I run them with an audioengine D1 headphone amp and the sound is INCREDIBLE! This was a relatively pricey setup and I have cables but with decent wire management It's not that big of a concern!

Your video helped me find an excellent wireless headset in the ATH-G1WL. Just a little tip I got from Audio Technica about the signal issues on the G1WL. Use usb2.0 instead of 3.0 even if you have to use an extension cable for the receiver. I noticed a tremendous range improvement and didn't experience any signal drops compared to using the receiver in a usb3.0 port.

@@vaarax8993 Hey just saw your comment so not sure if you're still looking but no I have experienced zero issues with them. I've been running them since April of 2021 and they are still going strong. I did notice that if you run the sound at 100% on the actual headphone and then just adjust volume with your PC you actually get a significant improvement in performance. I specifically noticed that the sound of a Precision Airstrike in Warzone would sound like it was clipping the drivers when the volume on the headset was lower. Surprisingly, when I crank the level to 100% on the headset then just drop the volume of my PC the airstrike no longer peaks the drivers and it can be even louder! I use them for several hours a day primarily for making phone calls and music but they are also excellent for gaming. I have a friend who uses a goxlr with a shure mic attached and yes that mic sounds better but the one on this headset is very close to it (just a little less bass). Absolutley love them. I've helped several friends get the wired or wireless versions and they all agree that it is fantastic. Excellent imaging and soundstage (for a closed back at least). I recently ordered a PC38x from Drop as I wanted an open back for certain scenarios (being able to hear my kids in the other room if needed and sidetone is just too noisy overall). Still waiting on that one to arrive but I'm very curious to see how it compares.

Beyerdynamic MMX 300 blows the other two out of the water in every respect. It's on a whole new level. Use Dekoni synthetic leather pads on them for complete eargasm. Sennheiser's mic is probably the worst mic ever made. Not sure why anyone would use wireless for gaming when gaming is stationary and wired is superior in every way. Also Audio Technika, as good sounding as their products are, is notorious for making some of the most uncomfortable headphones. I've tried a couple in the past and couldn't last even 5 minutes.

I would disagree. There are some very high quality wireless headphones that can easily punch with the big boys. The Sennheiser's and the Audiotechica's implementations, I would agree, aren't good. However, Beyerdynamic actually kept with their quality, and made it with a mic. If I ever bought a headset, that's probably what I would buy..... Other then the Audizie Mobius. To be frank, a standalone mic through an XLR interface still is king of the roost in my book, and I would sill just look into a modmic before a headset. Also, really? Impedance is NOT what makes a headphone "audiophile"
@maelroudaut5281
@maelroudaut5281 4 жыл бұрын
@@jordanhart9708 I agree about having an external is the better solution, the point I tried to make with the impedance is that in most cases headphones with high impedance need more power and thus can carry more details of a sound although there are some exceptions and people who have those kind of cans do own some kind of amp/dac. All of it combined leaning to an audiophile listening experience.

@@maelroudaut5281 Sadly I can not describe how much I want to beat my skull into a wall right now... Yes, most audiophiles do use dedicated amp/dacs. Yes, high impedance headphones CAN produce more detail then lower impedance headphones when fed enough power.... This does NOT, however, mean that in order to obtain this "audiophile listening experience" that you must have an external amp/dac (cause even your on board audio has them!!!) and high impedance headphones. Lower impedance headphones (aka MOST EVERY HEADPHONE YOU WILL FIND EVER) can still benefit from a stronger amp then what you have on board, a better DAC, and high quality source files. There are also plenty of IEMs that are even lower impedance that are cheap (comparatively speaking) that many audiophiles LOVE (Tin T2, KZ ZS10 Pro, and BLON B3 all come to mind in the $40-50 price range). When I talked about an EXTERNAL solution, I ment an external audio interface for your microphone, eg. Behringer U-Phoria UM2, mixer boards, and the Scarlett from Focusrite along with a dedicated microphone.

You can really pinpoint where sounds are coming from, and the response is flat, so you’re hearing the audio as it was designed. if you’re looking for a lot more bass punch like a pair of Beats, you’ll be disappointed…but you would have known that already from reading reviews, etc

I actually won't buy headphones that don't have exposed wires anymore. I've had different styles of hidden wire headphones but the result is always the same - the right side stops working within 6 months. The hidden wires put too much stress on the connections for the left to right connection cable. This is especially true of you extend and retract the headband size. The advantage to exposed wires is that the wire loop prevent most of the motion from getting to the headband part of the cable. The bend (or in the Audio Technica's case loop) allows movement without pinching anything. (Oh, and if you are a pro musician or studio guy that extra wire means you can splice it if some idiot cuts or breaks it...)

Meanwhile, the gaming companies that make headsets still end up on "best headsets for gaming" lists all the time. But at the end of the day, all these gaming headsets have shitty microphones. i've gone through way too many headsets that i just completely stop using because of a shit microphones... while the headphones themselves are actually quite decent. I bought a hyper x cloud, microphone is buzzing in discord. I bought a Sound blaster, mic too quiet and no one can hear me over anyone else... the list goes on. Save yourself the trouble and buy proper hi-fi headphones with a detachable cable, pick up a vmoda boom mic and you'll have the best gaming headset on the market.

@@SillylNico Getting an amplifier+dac combo would be even better. Even though Fidelio has relatively low impedance, 32 ohms, an amplifier+dac combo would drive the headphone to its true potential. Open backs headphone usually require more power than the specification since the sound leaks out. But the sound being able to leak out is what makes open back headphones have massive soundstage. The amp+dac combo that I am using right now is Fiio K5 Pro and I definitely recommend it.

Man you should really check out the new Fnatic React headset. I’m a headphone nerd myself and just grabbed the Reacts from Best Buy as an impulse buy because I needed a wired headset to go with my living room PS4 Pro setup for late night couch gaming. I paired the Reacts with my Sound BlasterX G6 and dude, it’s right up there with all my $300+ headphones when it comes to game audio and most surprising of all, the mic is AMAZING. It’s way better than my Mod Mic and pretty much even with my AT2020. It sounds better than the mics you previewed in this vid too. Such an insane value for a gaming headset and at $70 it seriously makes all these “audiophile” headsets obsolete.
