hello good people on three tree and today we're looking at best gaming
headsets of 2019 we're ready sure but who needs a gaming headset anyway how
often do you use a mic we will have alternatives for that crowd fine now
this year was actually pretty decent for gaming audio many wireless releases as
technology get better but let's remember none of these are perfect as usual
headset as I was not expecting the cool master mh751 and mh752 to be that
good they were launched in 2018 but only discovered by us in 2019 which is why
I'm including them in this video they are among the most comfortable headsets
to ever hit the gaming sector with minimal clamping force nice soft and
deep ear cushions a light frame so you can wear them forever and the best
sounding microphone for its price class this is what you get for $59 this is the
most natural sounding value oriented gaming headset that I've ever heard
there is no processing no compression with not too much bass in my vocals it's
like it just sounds really good they're not bass heavy have wonderful clarity
and the semi-open soundstage and since the mic is removable and they don't look
ridiculous on your head it's a fine pair to wear in public too don't forget the 752
actually comes with the USB dongle for those on potatoe motherboards with
ancient sound processing you're welcome oh I thought you were against gaming
headsets that is right just looking for a perfect segue covering all the crap
that launched this year okay so here's my collection of crap what happened with
logitech g935 refresh brought back the outdated design pointless RGB
that drains battery life a terrible loose volume wheel macro buttons on the
headset I mean who thought this would be a good
idea in 2019 that is actually a headset frame from 2015 exactly my point there
so innovative hum the mic does not sound any good battery life is terrible but
they do sound really amazing powerful clean output with one of the best
surround sound nodes and if they can fix everything else about the headset but
keep the drivers only then I would recommend the G900 Wireless
for headsets but not until something actually good comes out Sennheiser is
also on my crap list the GSP 670 it's way too expensive they really should
ditch the terrible frame design that is bulky uncomfortable it looks ridiculous
and it's also heavy because they have so much potential the wireless drivers are
best-in-class with fantastic audio delivery a pretty decent microphone as
well and powerful software suite that when it's not crashing it's actually
pretty fun to use Sennheiser did launch the GSP 370 with a much more comfortable
frame they sound amazing the microphone is not as good as the GSP 670 but they
are almost half the price okay sure but the microphone is terrible
good luck with the dongle I'm getting crackles and audio distortions the
microphone disconnecting from both my AMD system and Intel the headset does
not wake up on my AMD system which is bizarre and certain features like Mic
sidetone and noise cancellation are actually disabled on the 370 come on
alright so how about we bring up the Corsair virtuoso wireless RGB to make up
for the whole Wireless Arena this is the headset with an impressive list of
features first it's one of the only headsets with a type-c connector love it
the mechanics of all the controls is wonderful smooth resistance on the
volume wheel every moving microphone incredible build quality but they didn't
get the memo on the glossy sides this is the best sounding wireless microphone
total of the year but comfort wise this will not be for everyone the ear
cushions are not very deep and my ears do make contact with that internal wall
sound quality is possible for wireless pair but the resolution is just not on
the same level as the GSP wireless line but at least I've had zero issues with
the connectivity they didn't all crash my PC and they work fine out of the box
the next category would be the best sound and this one easily goes to the
HyperX cloud orbit s the reason for that is simple planar magnetic drivers that
are extremely powerful deliver insanely satisfying deep bass hits very good
detail definition and lots of options for 3d experiences using the built-in
gyroscope this is one of the few headsets that I actually enjoy in
surround mode the soundstage expansion is natural without losing the default
layering and stair they plug in via type C which is bonus
and you can also run them off a 3.5 millimeter input well don't forget there
are $300 pretty expensive the microphone quality sucks for the price point the
clamping force is too tight and this whole waves are next head tracking
technology is just a gimmick I know but I'm about to redeem the entire gaming
headset category with the best all-around gaming headset the fnatic
react this is a definition of a proper barebones gaming headset with a solid
build quality decent removable microphone excellent memory foam ear
cushions for bass trapping and passive isolation and drivers are tuned for
clarity and closed soundstage for best competitor advantage and hearing audio
cues that actually matter it's a properly priced gaming headset
that's not trying to add RGB ton of accessories software tuning replaceable
ear cups etc etc and for $69 this is an easy recommendation alright sounds like
a good headset but what about people who need all the accessories well for under
$100 I would say the new Logitech G pro had said is a decent candidate they are
built very well they are comfortable with proper here cushions all the cables
are detachable and even have a USB dongle and large like really prides on
their driver tuning with the most natural sound delivery and it's very
good to my ears I will say don't fall for the G Pro X headset because you're
just paying $30 more it's an identical headset with all the same accessories
but you do get the pointless Blu voice functionality in the software that makes
you mic sound worse you're welcome what you listen to now is
that recorded with the G Pro X headset the latest from Logitech this is a $99
pair and I can sense there's some form of compression happening I don't know if
it's happening on a higher end or on the lower end but it just doesn't sound as
natural as the Cooler master pair alright but what would you recommend build your
own we have so many microphone options the v-moda boom pro sounds incredible
and fits into any removable 3.5 millimeter jack on the headphone so my shp9500
from philips is my recommendation for natural open sound
and incredible microphone quality there are also many options from mod mics that
attach literally to anything because of that magnetic clamp system so you can
pop that whenever you need the calms and remove
it whenever you just want to use your proper regular headphones okay so there
you have it our best and worst gaming headsets of the year
everything will be linked description below as usual thanks much for watching
