    Addison Heddins I actually purchased the hyperx cloud 2 they are much cheaper and I think they were worth it. I haven’t had any issue with it on my PS4, you have to update the software on it to use its own type of “dac “ on console. But I’m sure on PC it works great if you are trying to spend less than 100. But I’d say go for these if you want to pay below 200 or upwards of 100. These will prob be my next purchase for headphones once my hyperx cloud 2 get to old! Hope this helps you in some way!!

    For the record, i own this with the Gamedac. This does 100 percent work on xbox one S. As long as the controller has a 3.5mm jack. However, you must connect the PRO headphones directly to the xbox controller and then you can speak and hear. Just do not use the DAC. Sound is clear, party chat is clear and the other people can hear me well.

    I bought this headphones about 3 months ago and LOVE them. This is the best headphones I EVER had. THE DAC is also really cool. Some say you can't get the high volume.. oh YES you can. use the dac and move all on the equalizer to the top.. it so loud you can't stand it! super loud! and I love that on the left headphone, there is the wheel... to turn the volume up or down. On KZread I have all volume maxed out......and this way if something is too loud, I just use my wheel. PERFECT. You can't go wrong with these. The lights are cool, you can change them to a few different colors.. red, green, yellow and maybe another. I have mine on green with the mic on red. The headphone quality is very good, the sounds are great. The Dac is VERY VERY VERY COOL! Get it, you won't be sorry. I will never use another headset.. this is for me!

If so then which sound do you recommend the steelseries arctis pro or turtle beach atlas? I only play at ps4 mainly FPS..i currently own turtle beach stealth 600 will there be significant diff regarding sound quality? Thank you!

I wanna know if it makes a difference to sound quality. Especially with the 3's. I like how the sound is on the 3's but i hate we get no chat or game balance like the 5 or 7.

    Hi "The Techne" I would like to know your opinion on something but first thank you for the video! Find yourself and your kind just great and like to watch your videos !! To my question, you say in the video if you have a corresponding sound card card, the Wirless model would be perfect and that on the ps4 the model with the game dac would be great ... do you think that the game dac could lose its appeal due to new technology ( PS5 ) or it could become superfluous, Because I currently own the wireless model for the ps4 but i am considering buying the model with the game dac 🙆🏽 Because your enthusiasm for the game DAC has fixed me quite a bit...

    I couldn't say how any of the correct headset will work, if even on the PS5. I'm sure all these companies including Sony will want to take every penny they can with the new consoles. as for the pr wireless and pro dac on ps4, your not going to notice a massive diff. the pro wireless are great on ps4, as are the dac version. the biggest downfall of the dac with ps4 is all the wires, as well as the short length of them

From watching your video I understood that there is not a difference in sound quality, and that they’re both very good headsets. Regarding my setup, I’m not a huge fan of wires all around the place, so I would much prefer if I could connect the headset straight to my controller. Is that possible with the Arctis Pro? Would appreciate any help. Thanks 😁. By the way, keep up the great work bro.

    So, I can't use chatmix and hi res (95khz 24bit) on the gamedac at the same time? So only setting the gamedac in windows on 95khz won't give automatically hi res sound on pc mode? That brings me to the conclusion that setting the normal pros in windows 10 settings on studio quality won't give me hi res either? Is the normal pro even worth it then? You say yes but given the fact that setting the gamedac on studio mode won't give me the 95khz 24 bit audio I am starting to question that you really get hi res sound on the normal pros. Is the hi res option worth it getting the game dac? I have no console and the dial would do it for me. Thank you for your great videos btw! Love them!
