this is a test this is a microphone test please put on headphones for the best
audio experience welcome to the ultimate headset microphone comparison good
people I'm Dmitri welcome to another video today we're going to rely on your
ears to determine which microphone sounds best what would you like so I'm
looking for a gaming headset with a bit of everything but not overkill something
that folds on your neck sure how about the light frame without excessive
clamping force yes yes you have to will ear cushions with proper internal
padding excellent I will take the cable and the microphone are removable
fine fine this is the one multi-platform compatibility with virtual surround
sound dongle avail can I just take one and the sound quality you'll be
satisfied with so the new coolermaster MH 751 and 75 to are here to make your
gaming experience now why do people still buy gaming headsets easy the
inclusion of a microphone is just so convenient to sum the microphone quality
is crucial to others not so much as long as their voice is loud and can be
audible with their teammates and then there's the other category of people who
want to use their favorite pair of headphones for gaming and then attach a
microphone which is basically how the mod mic system has become so popular and
for today's comparison we have 5 very popular wireless gaming headsets so you
can observe the vocal difference if you have my favorite wired headsets as well
and just to establish a reference point I have the mod like 4 and 5 that are
wired to get the full perspective on this comparison and to make this more
interesting I'd like to read a little excerpt from homo Deus a brief yet
fascinating history of lawns and you'd be the judge on what microphone sounds
best to you was true of grand social revolutions is equally true at the micro
level of everyday life a young couple building a new home for themselves may
ask the architect for a nice lawn in front of the art why a lawn because
lawns are beautiful the couple might explain but why do they think so it has
a history behind it Stone Age hunter gatherers do not
cultivate grass at the entrance of their caves no green meadow welcomed the
visitors to the Athenian Acropolis the Roman capital the Jewish Temple in
Jerusalem or the Forbidden City and Beijing the idea
nurturing a lawn at the entrance to private residences and public buildings
was born in the castles of French and English aristocrats in the late Middle
Ages in the early modern age this habit struck deep roots and became the
trademark of nobility well-kept lawns demanded land and a lot of work
particularly in the days before lawnmowers and automatic water
sprinklers in exchange they produced nothing of value
you can't even grace animals in them because they would eat and trample the
grass humans thereby came to identify lawns with political power social status
and economic wealth no wonder that in the 19th century the rising bourgeoisie
enthusiastically adopted the lawn at first only bankers lawyers and
industrialists could afford such luxuries and their private residences
yet when the Industrial Revolution broadened the middle class and gave rise
to the lawnmower and then the automatic sprinkler millions of families could
suddenly afford a home turf in American suburbia a spic and span lawn
switched from being a rich person's luxury into a middle-class necessity
grass is nowadays the most widespread crop in the USA after maize and wheat
and the lawn industry plants manure mowers sprinklers gardeners account for
billions of dollars every year having read the short history of the lawn when
you now come to plan your dream house you might think twice about having a
lawn in your front yard you are of course still free to do it but you're
also free to shake off the cultural cargo beacuse to you by the European
Dukes capitalist moguls and the Simpsons and imagine for yourself a Japanese rock
garden or some altogether new creation this is the best reason to learn history
not in order to predict the future but to free yourself of the past and imagine
alternative destinies of course this is not total freedom we cannot avoid being
shaped by the past but some freedom is better than none thus the no cable
situation which is why I chose to read this portion in the first place
everything you just heard was unfiltered and I'm pretty happy with my wide
selection of microphones the asana is pretty great with some variability in
bass and trouble but they all have nice pickup here but the modmic Wireless
impressive when compared to the wired selections and totally blows everything
else when it comes to wireless headsets just it's no competition the catch over
is the price of a hundred and nineteen dollars the microphone alone is more
expensive than these standalone wired headsets which is okay crazy so for 120
bucks for a microphone alone this is one luxury add-on and so the magnetic and
easily removable clamp system means you can attach the modmic to any headphone
and previous iterations took into account the modularity of the whole
assembly plus some cable management techniques on the mod like five but this
new wireless model really changes the game for a more convenient contraption
because look no wires only for the headphone of course the main body is a
little chunky but very light so there's no way tension from the microphone and
there's steel boom arm stays in position unless intentionally bent and you can
easily mute the mic with a power button and observe battery and connection
status via the USB receiver that matches the LEDs on the mic itself we have 12
plus hours of battery life and a micro USB port for charging and two microphone
modes one broadcast quality or the omnidirectional what would you've been
listening to now and then the second mode is unidirectional or noise
cancelling so it sounds very much in line - you know all gaming headsets but
you can definitely tell there is a lot more processing going on to eliminate
all that background noise and so the convenience factor for the new mod mic
Wireless is really up here and it takes it to the next level based on previous
iterations of the mod mic you know the whole idea of being able to attach a
microphone to your favorite pair of headphones is awesome but now because
it's wireless and we have multiple you know magnetic clamps means that the
microphone is not really fixed to a headphone because you know you can move
it from one pair to another and it's quite modular the microphone quality of
course is pretty excellent for being Wireless it does compete very closely to
the previous iterations for the Modmic 5 that has a little bit more base
and character a little bit less compression but for a wireless iteration
that has no cables attached you don't have to route it through your headphone
cable is I would say you know a nice value add for a little compromise on the
sound quality but you let me know which microphone sounded best to you
in the comments all right thanks so much for watching all the headsets and
microphones will be linked in the description below I'll be tree I'll talk
to you guys in the next video
