In general most "Gamer" headsets are pretty terrible. This is why I prefer the Corsair Virtuoso XT's, they are much better in every single way, audio quality, build quality, and have more useful features. You also get a near broadcast quality microphone on the Virtuosos. And you can set the tiny amount of RGB to just be on when running on cable, so you get the best of both worlds.

I would be a lot less annoyed by everyone using discord if they made some of their features work correctly and fixed the latency. Latency is more of a issue than i think many people realize, if two people start talking within the latency window, both of them think they started talking first (because from their point of view, they both DID start talking first) which leads to a lot of overlap. It's not as simple as saying don't talk over people, with enough latency you really can't tell. Audio ducking would be nice if it worked right (this automatically lowers the volume of everything else when someone starts talking, so you can have your game audio or music playing at the level you like, and get quiet when someone is talking. Last i tried priority speaker didn't work well either. these are all features vent, TS and mumble all had working years before discord came onto the scene. that's not to mention the huge amount of screen realestate discord takes up as well.

agreed, I've literally never had products with synthetic leather last more than a few years. my cloud alphas barely lasted a couple years before the leather deteriorated and started falling apart everywhere, including the headband. I also broke the original cable, so i was using a shorter temporary cable. It didnt seem worth it to try to fix the whole thing considering even the headband was ruined, so I ended up getting some dt 900 pro x, they have these velour earcups and the main concern seems to be that the foam might wear out, which is great compared to what I had to experience with those synthetic leather cups. I don't heavily use them so they should definitely last me a long time, way longer than how much they would usually last for people, so atleast 5+ years is my guess, before I'd need to replace the cups, but even then they should be "fine". edit: didn't notice that the headband seems to be leather on the 900 pro x, ill probably have to replace that before the earcups, oh well, hopefully it's better quality than the hyperx ones.

Although with the SHP9500 a btr5 is not necessary as they are only 32 ohms so will run just fine plugged into anything, not to mention the btr5 is nearly as expensive as the headphones so you should just put that money towards better headphones as they are always the most important factor. I have not used SHP9500's before, but I've heard that AKG K612 Pro's are good for only slightly more, and hd6xx's are currently on offer at Massdrop which I personally own and definitely recommend, although you may want an amp for these so overall more expensive.

Completely unrelated, but I still don't like the resolution that LMG renders their videos (3840x1920, 2:1). Yes, I am aware many KZreadrs do this, but LMG should know better. I understand wanting to render a wider FOV to better suit mobile devices that are mostly wider than 16:9, hence a 4k 2:1 letterbox render. However, in practice, 4k displays on phones are practically nonexistent, so phones end up maxing out the resolution to the 1440p setting at 2560x1280, causing phones with 1440p displays to need to upscale the image; 1440p monitors/laptop displays also end up with the same issue. Ultimately, the only display that can view the videos at a native 1:1 pixel output are 4k displays, the vast majority of which would be TVs; of that, the letterbox would not negatively affect only OLED TVs. That is an extremely niche group to be catering your videos for. Strangely, pretty much the only display that is close to a 1280 vertical resolution is... the *iPhone.* Explain yourself, LIENUS.

I would be a lot less annoyed by everyone using discord if they made some of their features work correctly and fixed the latency. Latency is more of a issue than i think many people realize, if two people start talking within the latency window, both of them think they started talking first (because from their point of view, they both DID start talking first) which leads to a lot of overlap. It's not as simple as saying don't talk over people, with enough latency you really can't tell. Audio ducking would be nice if it worked right (this automatically lowers the volume of everything else when someone starts talking, so you can have your game audio or music playing at the level you like, and get quiet when someone is talking. Last i tried priority speaker didn't work well either. these are all features vent, TS and mumble all had working years before discord came onto the scene. that's not to mention the huge amount of screen realestate discord takes up as well.

“We’ve gotten really good at making fake leather” As a leather worker I can tell you that’s certainly not true. All faux leathers will degrade much much faster than genuine leather. It starts to crack and split and anyone that has had a fake leather cover on their cars center console where you lean your arm or elbow knows how uncomfortable or even mildly painful that is.
Petition to compare wireless headsets with regular old wireless headphones from brands like Sony and Bose! I have to imagine you're getting worse sound for your money. The microphone and latency could be the tie-breaker though!
For $200 you should get simultaneous bt and 2.4, not either or. I’ve got a headset I spent an embarrassing amount of money on with simultaneous connection and it is fantastic because I still hear texts and calls, but I can hear my game at the same volume. At least these don’t auto switch when you get a call, which I used to have and I hated it. You couldn’t even turn it off. Mine are the Corsair virtuoso xt, and aside from the need to get bigger earcups, they are great

agreed, I've literally never had products with synthetic leather last more than a few years. my cloud alphas barely lasted a couple years before the leather deteriorated and started falling apart everywhere, including the headband. I also broke the original cable, so i was using a shorter temporary cable. It didnt seem worth it to try to fix the whole thing considering even the headband was ruined, so I ended up getting some dt 900 pro x, they have these velour earcups and the main concern seems to be that the foam might wear out, which is great compared to what I had to experience with those synthetic leather cups. I don't heavily use them so they should definitely last me a long time, way longer than how much they would usually last for people, so atleast 5+ years is my guess, before I'd need to replace the cups, but even then they should be "fine". edit: didn't notice that the headband seems to be leather on the 900 pro x, ill probably have to replace that before the earcups, oh well, hopefully it's better quality than the hyperx ones.

On paper seems very nice, but that would need to do better if Asus want people to change from a Logitech G Wireless Pro X to their headphones specially with that price im seeing the logitech one floating between 150-200 dollars new

I don't really care for several of these new-ish hosts. This person is one of them. 🤷🏽♂️
Having a recessed USB-C port isn't a "feature". It's just proprietary bullcrap. You normally can't use other cables to charge this which is a hassle as you'd have to carry this or take good care of this particular cable, If ever the cable stops working for whatever reason, you'd have to buy this particular cable again. I don't like this host, many issues with him in many videos.
Yes, people use TeamSpeak to cut all the "free" features of other software and not be dependant on public crap servers

"If it is good at music then it is good at everything". Nothing could be further from the truth. EQ curves for music are COMPLETELY different than those for voice. There is a reason why POTS phones and pilots headsets sound the way they do - clarity of voice. Because that is what is important in those environments.

Yeah but those scenarios you mentioned are oddly specific. If a Pilot is in the air, with this headset. YES, they need to clarify voice. What, you think this dude is popping on a pair of Sony XM4's with ANC? Like, no. I can't imagine it's necessarily quiet in a cockpit, of course they have to emphasize voices. Dude thinks they be whippin out Airpods Max before takeoff

Still nice to watch these reviews, but I stopped using gaming headsets about 18 months ago, and now use my HiFiMAN HE4xx or Beyerdynamic DT770 pro 250ohn through an ifi zenDAC and THX AAA780 amp with a modmic usb, mainly because I was too lazy to change over headphones one day and it just ruined my Logitech g935 after that
You can check the supported codecs in developer options in android devices.
Honestly, I prefer the MPOW-059, but this looks good quality.
When will headset manufacturers spend more than 20 cents on a microphone? This sounds bad even compared to some cheap electret mics you can get in a 10 pack for a few dollars on aliexpress.

Below 30Hz? Gunshots are way up higher in the frequencies.
The jungle edit was "nice" but pls more zoomed like sped up instead
Audiophiles will be upset by this
Questions: 1) What its frequency response like in either mode (bt/dongle)? (i.e.: will it butcher music?) 2) What Bluetooth audio codecs does it support? 3) What does the mic sound like over bluetooth? 4) What does music sound like in them while you're using the mic in bluetooth? 5) Does it support BT multipoint? 6) While charging - does it still work? (depressingly often this is something that needs to be asked) (Also, please forward these questions to the Labs-people for when they're building their test suite)

PS5 don't allow Bluetooth speakers, I've tried to connect BT speakers to my PS5 in the past and it gives me a message that it can't connect, which is dumb seeing as Sony invented BT technology in the first place, or have they updated the PS5 to know allow BT speakers cos i got a BT sound bar that i had to connect to my Screen via 3.1 jack as it also came with that option, which is the only way for me to get any sound out of my screen( as the screen has no speakers) It's also connected to my desktop and works fine as a gaming speaker.

Completely unrelated, but I still don't like the resolution that LMG renders their videos (3840x1920, 2:1). Yes, I am aware many KZreadrs do this, but LMG should know better. I understand wanting to render a wider FOV to better suit mobile devices that are mostly wider than 16:9, hence a 4k 2:1 letterbox render. However, in practice, 4k displays on phones are practically nonexistent, so phones end up maxing out the resolution to the 1440p setting at 2560x1280, causing phones with 1440p displays to need to upscale the image; 1440p monitors/laptop displays also end up with the same issue. Ultimately, the only display that can view the videos at a native 1:1 pixel output are 4k displays, the vast majority of which would be TVs; of that, the letterbox would not negatively affect only OLED TVs. That is an extremely niche group to be catering your videos for. Strangely, pretty much the only display that is close to a 1280 vertical resolution is... the *iPhone.* Explain yourself, LIENUS.
