VZR Model One Review | Best Gaming Headset 2023 | Nico Knows Tech
THE BEST OF EVERYTHING - Model One is the result of years of research and is a marvel of acoustic engineering. Every component has been optimized to deliver class-besting performance, and Model One features the debut of a ground-breaking, proprietary and patented innovation called CrossWave that truly sets it apart from competitive products, even those several times more expensive.
ACOUSTIC DESIGN THAT DELIVERS - We took a new approach to the acoustic design of headphones and microphones - one based on our team's incredible experience in designing and building audiophile speakers, and their expertise in sound spatialization - to specifically address accurate and natural 3D audio. This ensures the preservation of every meticulously-designed so listeners have the acoustic experience intended by the artists, producers and creators.
THE ONE AUDIOPHILE HEADSET FOR ALL - Created specifically for accurate and natural 3D audio. From gaming, to production, streaming, and critical listening, the VZR Model One is the last pair of headphones you’ll ever need.
ENGINEERED TO SOUND EXTRAORDINARY - Our goal was to deliver the fidelity and detail of a studio reference speaker system alongside the expansiveness and warmth of open-backed audiophile headphones, all in an affordable headset that offered best-in-class performance no matter how you use it.
PATENTED TECHNOLOGY - The unique geometry of our CrossWave passive acoustic lens selectively and strategically reshapes audio waves to emulate the way you perceive sound in real life without headphones, resulting in improved separation, openness and accurate 3D spatial positioning.

How did the mic sound on the VZR Model One?

Great review! 💪
@gigolocalypsetv5520 11 ай бұрын
Was part of some of the early adopters and run this with my Schiit Hel, on my PS5, and it's still always a part of my rig. I use these and the R70x, as my mains and no matter what, the VZR never gets packed away. It'll always stay in use because they got so much right with it. They updated my cords and mic, too, when I asked a few months back and they were very cool about it. I don't mind the floppy-ness so that fine. The only issue is the I do get some slight echo, in the mic, when I use the Hel's mic input. I think it's a fault in the Hel, because if I plug the VZR right into the PS5 controller, it works perfectly, but when I put it into the Hel and attempt to balance the mic, it's either too quiet or it's too loud and echoes to those in my chat. I just end up using a separate mic but that's what I do with my R70x so it's not a deal breaker. But yeah, this hangs with some hardcore audiophile headphones so I call that a win!

Amazing Review. Thanks for covering so many details about the headset. I am a “sweaty” FPS gamer and I have slowly been upgrading my entire PC setup. Most recent has been my audio setup. I just received my Model ones, after trying Nova Pro’s (sent back due to a static sound while playing apex) I figured it may have been a faulty device although when I turned off sonar it seemed to almost disappear. Then I tried the turtle beach stealth pros (sounded pretty good but really uncomfortable for me, so I sent them back) that’s when I discovered VZR model ones and after researching more (including this review) I ordered them immediately. I had extremely high expectations since I am upgrading from a sub $100 4 year old Roccat headset I guess my main question is, will these headphones sound much different when pairing with a DAC? When I plugged them into my Realtek Audio driver they immediately sounded much flatter than my Roccat (same thing with Nova Pro & stealth pros) I’m guessing this is because I’ve been playing a small bass boost on my roccats for so long that even these premium gaming headsets aren’t blowing me out of the water? Or maybe the lack of utilizing a DAC? I’m going to buy the sound blaster g6 and see if this helps with the low volume and mess with the EQ a bit.
@NicoKnowsTech 9 ай бұрын
Hey there! Can't believe I missed your comment till now. They are supposed to be flat because they are rated for studio mixing. To answer your question, yes they pair well with a DAC like the G6 and respond well to EQ. You can boost the bass and treble to get the sound you want for gaming. These are my daily driver because of how versatile they are.

How do they sound with those Brainwavz ear pads? How is the bass, treble, soundstage, imaging etc affected? And you got the XL Round pads right? Do they fit perfectly with the Model One? I’m just about to purchase the headset but not a fan of leather pads lol
@NicoKnowsTech 9 ай бұрын
Hey there. Yes, XL round. It makes them slightly bass forward. The treble and Soundstage stay the same but there is one caviat: cooling gel pads don't "break in." The Model One gets brighter the more the original pads get smooshed down. I don't care about this because you can make them brighter in EQ or by giving them more volume.

Hello nico, i come from one of your tron videos, i wanted to say thanks for such great tutorials on the script however i did run into a little bit of a weird issue After watching your 2021 video when it was a few months old and running the whole thing, i lost the ability to create zip folders on the file explorer. I runned tron again recently due to some shady files being downloaded into my pc by a chrome extension since you can never be too careful XD I was hoping perhaps running the newer version of tron would fix it somehow but it didnt. Other than that i the machine runs perfect So just to clarify, after running tron, if i open the file explorer and try to create a new folder i cannot create a zip folder, its not a big issue since 7zip still works but i wanted to know if this is normal. the extension was called hola vpn if you want to know.

I enjoyed your video, thank you for your review. I got the VZR headphones about a month ago and I have the Wavzs KT-1 with 6 speaker drivers per ear. This headset made me retire the Wavzs. Also using the Schiit Hel 2 for it and retired the Astro Mix-amp. I connected the VZR to my phone using a headphone jack to USB C with an internal boost amp to help power the heaphones a bit and was draining my phone battery a little faster. Just wondering what app should I download to tune the heaphones and/or the Schiit Hel 2?
@NicoKnowsTech 5 ай бұрын
I recommend Dolby Atmos/Dolby Access. It is the best surround available... Essentially every other surround tech is trying to match Dolby. It will have presets that work great with the Model One and also custom options to EQ them the way you want. Ideally a gaming DAC such as the SoundBlasterX G6 (link in description) would be used for gaming but you already have some good Schitt (🤣) so I would say you could just get Dolby Atmos/Dolby Access. It costs $14/year but it's worth it

Question; Your Tron videos brought me to your channel and I can really see the quality of your vdieos, but I have question regarding Tron, does it really Remove 100% of the viruses? I've installed some games from some site, but they're not a big deal after a few scans, they were just some of them -old, since I've been having them for like a year or so,and since it updates frequently, there might chance it detects them- Now, I removed the files (The Exe's and the whole game(s)) but I'm not sure if there's still a chance I might have them, that's why I'm asking, since they're not some crazy viruses, is it 100% sure that It'll detect them?

Hey there. I have tested the HD700. The Model One are very diferent. Very punchy bass, high impact and great dynamics. What makes them so diferent is the soundstage. Its quite wide and it makes them ideal for spatial audio. The HD700 have a better treble.

@@jc.u Awesome! On gaming DACs like SoundblasterX G6 I boost the bass a little and crystalizer to enhance the treble... essentially making them almost V-shaped or M-shaped since they are a bit too balanced for exciting gaming stock. This is because they are also tuned for mixing/mastering in the studio. I also enable Dolby Atmos on performance mode when I game. The Model One works with all suround technology... but it was truly designed with Dolby Atmos in mind.
