The mic test 😂😂 amazing. Honestly great review thank you. Having a dedicated mic, you've sold me on the Tygrs.. having a detachable cable would be nice but I'll live.

You are 100% correct in just the first 5 mins of the video. For the past month, I've gone down the rabbit hole of searching for a good headphone for gaming. I've bought the PC38x, the hd 566, Tyger 300r, 58xx jubilee (just hot yesterday), my Audio Technica ATH-AD700X should be here Thursday. So Yea! And I have I use to game on beyerdynamic MMX 300. Anyone reading this just buy the PC38x, save yourself the disappointment I've indured with the rest. They have Way better sound stage"in my opinion"

You had me ugly laughing when you did the mic comparisons 😂 i immediately subbed and can’t wait to see your content in the future!

the microphone comparison is f****** GOLD!!! The audacity of Beyer calling this a gaming headset is absolutely unreal! Good on you for not holding your punches :)

I really like how tygr 300r mic sounds

The Microphone on the PC38X is legendary for just being a headset mic. Bought it because of your review some time ago. Have not been disappointed. Thank you for the awesome reviews man!

I think your concerns and gripes here are valid, but I'd like to point out that in this video you keep referring to the Beyers as a "gaming headset" - that's not what they are. They're "gaming headphones", an incredibly niche product that crosses studio-quality music headphones with gaming-focused tuning. They're specifically for people with condenser or USB mics on their desk. The Drops are clearly a far superior value proposition and a much easier recommendation/choice for MOST gamers

Great review - dry, hilarious and a great attitude. The mic test was very revealing.

It was between the H6 Pro, PC38X, 560S, and a bunch of wireless headsets for me. I tried a lot of them. Wish I had gotten to try the PC38X though as it's a very intriguing package. I think the PC38X with a high quality DAC dongle is the best bang for buck and portable option. That being said, I already own a XLR desktop mic (yes, flip mic is WAY more convenient) and ended up with a 560S + Magni amp. The amp comes Friday. The 560S do not disappoint, best imaging/sound stage I've ever heard. The Arctis Nova Pro Wireless I tried were a little more detailed and layering was impressive (at least on par with 560S) but that's also a $350 pair that comes with a DAC and everything else. I went back to the wire after 1 year of wireless. Comfort was the final nail in the coffin for all these wireless sets... they are heavy and do not stay on your head.

In case you don't know, the tygr 300r are branded as "gaming" because it originally came as a bundle with a separate mic in a box. But since many ppl already has a separate mic and/or don't wanna pay like 300$(i think) for said bundle we are finally able to buy the headphones separately.

God Damn what an honest opinion. Very refreshing. And the mic test was properly done.

That mic test was the most informative part.

I have both these headsets as well as the HD 560s, Hands down the 560s offer better imaging and staging in comparison to the Tygrs. Compared to the 38x its much closer. ID say the 38x sounds slightly more V-Shaped so better for music if you like good bass and smooth high end. The 560s have the more neutral tuning which lends itself better for gaming. The Tygrs just completely lack an upper midrange and the staging is very overrated but the imaging is good as well as music playback. They arent bad but they also are not better than either the 38x or the 560s in any way. You can also get both those for less than the Tygrs

I own both..I bought the Tygr's thinking they wud be similar to my pc38x but to me the "sound stage or "type of sound" "was day and night difference. I instantly hated the TYGR'S, idk if they came out the box with bad EQ but I was so disappointed. And im too of a noob to try EQ it properly I guess. TLDR: Folks who are on the fence, just go with PC38x. No regrets there.

Just ordered the 300's, i agree with ur points 100%, im however that customer looking specifically for audio quality. Most gamers would definitely better off with the 38x. I have the X2hr now so hoping ill like the 300 better (hearing other liked them better too)

I've used the Beyer Dynamic.....and honestly... meh... overhyped imo! Sennheiser sound signature just better imo! not fatiguing AT ALL! the sound that I've experienced with BEYERDYNAMICS in my experience was very dull but also OVERLY HARSH! Videogames sounded very off and the AK47 sound in CS GO was so strange... made me not want to game! went back to the GSP500 and now a EPOS H6 pro Open! never going to try any other brand! and with EPOS gaming becoming defunct :'( It's now a perfect time to get their headsets! some you will see go under 100 USA dollars and it's worth it! Awesome honest REVIEW! Sennheiser is the best in the business for a REASON!

I have the tygr 300r paired with the soundblaster g6 dac/amp running the virtual 7.1 with no additional sound enhancements and it's insanely good for pin pointing sounds without any audible artifacts. Highly recommend this combo for music/gaming.

Surprisingly low sub count, W vid

Fucking love this video

Try out the sennheiser hd560s much much better i try a lot to find a better than my 8 years old sennheiser game one also try pc38x but hd560s to me is the best with g6.epis hs6 pro ist most comfort but sound is bad

I do agree with not having a detachable cable in this day and age. I have Sennheiser's, beyers, hifimans, thiaudios, focals, Audio technicas, and you would be surprised at how many audiophile headphones still screw you on cables. I have got very good at modding headphones at this point just for this reason. I open up and solder female 3.5mm connectors in both cups so I have the option of running my headphones balanced when I feel like it, which is most of the time I guess. but for the price of headphones and for how $3 it costs me in hardware to do this crap myself, this should be standard as it would not cost the company any extra money to do this.

Can you do a comparison on the yellow pc38 vs the black? I’d love to see how different they sound, also the difference in mic quality between the colors

7:55 this had no right making me laugh as hard as it did LMAO

I love my PC38x

Hey Mercury one question, which of these 2 is more immersive on single player games?

Hd58x with foom or without has more soundstage??

Says on the box "gaming headphone" not headset

I have de PC38X love it! Amazing headset WITH a amp, if i use mine with the cables in de back of my pc and put it on 100% volume it sounds like 50% compared to my old ones. Is that only me? Or does anyone has a fix? (Have a BlasterX G6 in between now, then volume is fine)

Do companies actually EQ so-called "gaming" headphones differently than regular headphones or is it all just how they're marketed? You'd think any good headphones would be good for gaming too. I do wonder how the Sennheiser 560S compares to these if we're going to start considering headphones with no mic in at this price point.

7:55 HAHAHAHA
