+HardwareCanucks Great research and nice video. I've been playing with a AKG K601 (160$) with a dedicated desktop microphone (20$, but sounds ok) for 10 years and doing well. But I'm really a stickler when it comes to audio quality. Any cans which are decently reviewed are worth to try out. And since LAN parties aren't really a thing anymore, the isolation aspect is nearly irrelevant. BUT: I haven't played a FPS on a high competitive level in 8 years. Last was CS:S and COD 4. I used a Speedlink Medusa 5.1 analog headset with an amp and a dedicated sound card (X-Fi). The surround made a difference, but not as much as ads want to tell you (as with all peripherals). And since a lot of BS (RGB is the biggest by far, but lets not forget windows killing good surround sound..) has been introduced, the sound quality has really gone down. In short: I'd buy a good pair of cans with a separate mic. Modmic 4.0 sounds like a great product. Cheers.

People spend insane money on hardware to get proper visuals (high refresh rate screen and high fps to match it, high resolution and proper GPU to drive it, maybe HDR...). Why not spend to get proper audio as well? I'd say go for proper cans, and while you're at it, proper DAC and amps to drive them.

The issue is that the best headphones generally don't come with a microphone. Also sound is a lot more subjective and harder to get an impression of through online reviews and videos than frames per second, resolution and texture quality. You have to try a new headset on for a couple of days and then switch back to your old one before you're able to fully appreciate the difference in quality; something which generally isn't possible for most people without already committing to the purchase. This makes upgrading to a new pair of cans when you think the ones you've got already a very tough decision for a lot of people, whereas a simple picture on a website easily shows the difference between a new game rendered with a GTX 770 and high-end modern card, making the decision to upgrade visuals that much easier than upgrading sound.

@@rhoniereyventura1145 many places won't let you try on a pair of expensive gaming headphones, let alone try multiple and borrowing them for a couple of days so you can do a proper comparison to your current setup.

Corsair Vengeance 2100 and love it. I have a small child and need wireless. It sounds good and the mic picks up clearly without any breathing noise. I also like that when the mic is rotated up out of the way it automatically mutes. No more unwanted listening in.

I got the void elite wireless and it's amazing. The mute is nice and the way they fit over the ears is superb

Generally for gaming some things to take note: -Comfort for wearing long hours, higher end audiophile headphones have a slight advantage since earpads can be changed -Good soundstage -Clear mids that do not feel hollow -Good treble extension: treble should be present and felt but not overly shrill or raspy sounding, also contributes to listening comfort -Bass needs to be fast and clear, should not bleed into mids, or feel boomy Something like HD600 series would be good. HD800 would not really be the best for some people not used to the treble peak, but this could be alleviated with change of earpads or mods I think.

Try the Plantronics RIG 500HX or higher. It's amazing in games like Battlefield 1 and other FPS's. My favorite so far and I've had mine for a year and they're modular and I do plan on getting the esports ear cups and the new wireless RIG 800LX

The G4ME ONE headset at 6:15 (and its siblings) has a flexible mic boom, so while the popping and blowing sounds pretty extreme in the clip, it could easily be fixed by flexing the mic further away from the face.

meanwhile I'm using an old fatality/creative headset covered in dog hair, repaired with superglue very dated but still works. The beagle hair adds to the sound experience.

Thank you for the good and easy explanations on the differences

Wow, I normally can't stand when big channels try to describe audio or headphones because much of the information is a bit misleading, over-simplified, or just plain wrong. This video is very informative and very well done. Good job HWC! My two favorites for gaming: Budget - Philips SHP9500S paired with a V-Moda Boom Pro mic/cable. My current favorite for gaming - Sennheiser HD700 paired with a ModMic 5. I did try the HD800S with ModMic 5 when I owned them but I felt its upper midrange recession didn't help with gaming. The HD700 is better overall. When playing with an Xbox controller, the HD800S was a little too hard to drive. I had to have the volume almost all the way up just to get to moderate volume from the headphones. The HD700 is only half the impedance of the HD800S and works just fine out of an Xbox One wireless controller.

Currently, I'm using the Blue Mix-Fi (I bought them when they were called the Mo-Fi), and a Blue Snowball mic. I love the audio experience and the built in analog amp, BUT, the Blue Mix-Fi's have a relatively high amount of clamping force, and the ear cups are too small for me to use comfortably for hours on end. I am gravitating towards the SteelSeries Arctis Pro + DAC as my next headset, and keep using my Blue Mic as the primary microphone.

Haha. Great content in this video. but really it's the awesome ending that made me like & comment ;)

In my opinion, any pair of headphones should have accurate frequency response instead of tuning it for a specific sound signature by emphasizing bass or treble. In this way, you can actually hear what the developers want you to hear.

Very scientific approach and thorough discussion; well done, sir :D

I personally have G432 headphones, and I love them. It claims it has 7.1(not sure if it's real or virtual) but it works great, I'm sound whoring in games so knowing where the sound is comming from is important to me. It also has subwoofer, which I love, and logitech gaming hub provides great customizability options for my headset. Microphone is not as good, but it's OK. The feature I LOVE is "sidetone", which repeats my microphone input to my headphones with minimal delay, which is great in-game when I don't hear myself because my headphones have a great noise insulation.

I live in Australia and before I made more frequent use of my aircon my ears used to sweat a lot with headphones on while gaming and often caused ear infections. I would like to use ear buds for air circulation but I don’t because the style of earphone blasts the sound directly into your ear canal and causes much greater damage to your ears than full size headphones. I either don’t wear them in really hot weather or put the air conditioning on as I don’t want to damage my hearing by using ear buds.

I'm pretty sure virtual surround sound also works by adding a delay between playing sound on either side of the headphone. Our brains use the fact that the speed of sound is kind of slow, and so sound arrives at either ear at different times, to isolate positional audio. Virtual surround sound uses that to emulate the same thing and trick your brain into thinking it's from a particular location.

I'm trying to find it. But I don't see it. What is the microphone you are using?

At Christmas time, my Nana and Grandad bought me "Beats Solo HD" headphones. I couldn't face the idea of telling her that I hate the brand, and my £50 Skull Candy headphones are twice as good and yet the Beats cost £160. The annoying bit is, my Mum said she helped chose the gift, and 2 months before christmas, she asked me if I wanted beats and I said how they're the worst brand and they are a complete scam. I'm just going to wait until June or something and buy myself some Sennheisers or anything else.

+Jack Tupper They are scam because the actual cost of the components within then is tiny, while the price is huge, with an estimate 3000% profit margin. Not a scam, in the true sense of the word, but certain absurd.

If you have open-back headphones, will it leak trough your microphone? So if you´re skyping will they here what you're listening to?

I got sucked into the Turtle Beach fad back when Modern Warfare 3 came out. I got the x12 headset and I still use that model. I love it. The audio always came out as it should and it is just so useful. I have speakers hooked up to my monitor and I can just plug the green jack into the speakers when I want to use headphone audio. The pink jack just stays in my pc. When I want to talk to someone on my Xbox or phone I use a 2.5 to 3.5 adapter (PS4 talk back cable) and use that. It really is an all in one headset for my all-in-one desk setup. I just wish they still made them.

I have the TB Stealth 520 which I was using for a while. These have DTS Headphone X and 50mm drivers. I recently bough a pair of Sennheiser HD 4.30s, which is a relatively affordable pair of headphones which I bought for listening to music on my phone, and only have 32mm drivers. However, I recently decided to test my HD 4.30s with my PS4 with a variety of games and blu ray movies. I was blown away at just how much better they sounded compared to the Stealth 520s, despite the smaller drivers and low cost.

I got my HE-400i a little over two years ago, and I still have not found someone on cs:go who can hear enemies before me.

I own and play on Ad700x and an he400i. The Ad700x is better for fps hands down than the he400i. Plus for the average consumer to get the bets audio out of the he400i you can't just plug them into your computer and your good to go. They require a powerful headphone amp an dvery much like a good dac. I run both off of an aune x1s, and the he400i get power form a schiit magnificent 2 Uber. The Ad700x does sound much better with a good quality dac like every other headphone but is very easy to drive otherwise. The transitional and direction audio is spot on with the Ad700x. You will never not hear your enemy. It's not that the he400i are bad I play with them all the time, it's just for fps the Ad700x are superior.

Hi Dmitry, I never understood how sound engineers could allow something like 5.1 headphones, with multiple drivers to happen. When you sit in the living room, surround sound is amazing because slight movement of your head establishes (pinpoint) the surround effect. In a lounge 5.1 setup, the time between the sound takes to go in one the go in the other ear is what makes us recognise if the sound is from the the front or the back. The brain recognises as we turn our head the direction of the first sound is from the more forward ear. In multi driver headphones this, does not happen as the drivers move as you turn your head with your head. The effect must occur between both your ears, and for this a virtual 7.1 surround can simulate this effect pretty amazingly. 7.1 virtual surround works great, especially if it well implemented. Sound algorithms can trick our brains into hearing various directions very well. I just wanted to elaborate why I think physical multi driver 5.1 or 7.1 solutions don't work at all. When you have only two ears, blasting the ear from a driver a little more forward is not what makes it hear it from the front. Our ears are not omnidirectional, they work out direction based on delay between the (only) 2 directions.

That price point, $100 AUD, is going to be tough if you want quality. Also, after going with separate mic and headset I will never buy a gaming headset with a built-in mic again. Consider AKG M220 headphones and a CAD U37 or maybe a Blue Snowball iCE mic. It's going to run over $100 but should be under $150AUD

how's it going?

I found Starlord with very useful information, I’m about to buy some gaming headsets and this made me realize what to have in mind before to buy anything. Although it would have been very great to mention the prices of the products so I don’t have to go to other sites looking for them. Thank you so much!

I just bought a pair of corsair void pro usb headphones. They are very underwhelming on volume level. I went into mixer and made sure all volumes are all the way up and volume on headphones is max also. And that's where I leave it to hear people in discord. Am I doing something wrong. Or do these just suck. My son has cheapo headphones he got for 20 bucks with 3.5mm jacks and those things pump. At times I think they are going to jump right off my ears loud

What I’ve learn is that a non-gaming headset are really good when you listen to music and a gaming headset the bass is just way higher so it might not sound good

That's why for my gaming I use a Sennheiser HD 4.40 and a separate mic

You'll need a bluetooth dongle to use it wirelessly since it doesn't have a driver. I use a stand on mic so it stays in the table. Like its reviews, the sound is very neutral so not too much bass that it ruins the mids and highs but its there and you can hear it. Reason I didn't bought wireless gaming headset is due to the mic quality. And since there's no gaming headset that offers no mic, I resorted to this. Besides, I like listening to music as well.

Have You tried HD700 with GSX1000? I'm thinkig about upgrading My Game Zero's for those...

I've been using the Teufel Aureol Real headphones for a few years now and I really really like them. I chose them, because my old headphones got really uncomfortable if you wore them for a few hours, (and there were plenty of nights that I played like 7 or 8 hours with my buddies) and in summer my ear always got really hot under the headphones. The Teufel headphones are open backed, so no hot air gets trapped inside and although some people didn't like it, they are almost completely made out of plastic, so they are very light; the have never gotten uncomfortable to wear. They were 80 bucks when I bought them, but unfortunately Teufel doesn't produce them anymore.

I don't know for certain but I expect in Canada Modmic could be close to $100. The omnidirectional mic is like $50 US. This is like $70 CAD and then there's shipping/duties or whatever to get it to Canada. Furthermore it seems like the past year or so stuff is further inflated in Canada, I'm guessing beacuse the Canadian dollar is very shaky and there's a good chance it could continue to drop in value. like 3 years ago we were worth more than the American dollar, and now we're worth 72 cents. :l

was the corsair void (wireless) not out yet? if so or not, what is the verdict on it?
