    I like how the Cloud III sounds natural, even if it lacks bass a bit. The MMX 200 lack mid-tones a bit.

  2. @Ultra-Settings on December 16, 2024 at 7:45 pm

    I’m glad mic test are more of the norm now. I remember trying to look for mic tests a few years ago for the hyperx cloud 2 and they weren’t many and no one was mentioning how bad the quality was

  3. @investor.z on December 16, 2024 at 7:45 pm

    Are the HS80 Max in this after the firmware update?

  4. @reggiemorgan6121 on December 16, 2024 at 7:46 pm

    Synapse destroys my mic on the black shark v2 pro , had to uninstall it otherwise people on discord can hardly hear me

  5. @TheCameraRs on December 16, 2024 at 7:46 pm

    something i learned in this video… Pro.. doesnt mean good

  6. @Superweapons on December 16, 2024 at 7:47 pm

    thank you i been looking for a new one right now im using hyper x 2 cloud right now

  7. @ojsannals6877 on December 16, 2024 at 7:47 pm

    What microphone would be in the top 3 of December 2024, would you say?

  8. @eddiejin9211 on December 16, 2024 at 7:48 pm

    This is exactly what I was looking for, thank you for making this video!

  9. @Muhammed-wk5ce on December 16, 2024 at 7:49 pm

    Upload mic test for wired gaming headset please!!

  10. @cutypye924 on December 16, 2024 at 7:49 pm

    I have been looking everwhere for something like this. Thank you so much. I have been comparing headphones online but i just couldnt figure out which one had better mics.

  11. @stagnacja1 on December 16, 2024 at 7:49 pm

    LOL SONY H9 , what a shame 😉

  12. @Wraine8430 on December 16, 2024 at 7:50 pm

    this video is awesome. I’m personally find most headphones sound just fine, but the microphone is often highly lacking, which is the whole point i buy a gaming headset instead of just headphones.

  13. @AMBS_II on December 16, 2024 at 7:50 pm

    I bought blackshark v2 pro. The plastic hinge broke. Turns out a lot of owners experienced the same thing. While I understand this video focuses on mic quality, mic can’t do shit with a broken hinge.

  14. @alessandropetrucci3545 on December 16, 2024 at 7:53 pm

    Guys, the Blackshark V2 2023 has a huge problem and it is VERY SERIOUS that no one talks about it despite the fact that the internet is full of forums with people reporting the same problem (including me who decided to send it back): the microphone makes a very annoying background buzz when you keep programs like Discord or Microsoft Teams open, certainly due to the dongle and for which no solution has been found.
    Unfortunately (it had an excellent microphone) it cannot be kept.

  15. @DiscoCj on December 16, 2024 at 7:57 pm

    Do not buy the Razer Blackshark V2 PRO, they are amazing headphones but the build quality is razer quality, my right ear cup hinge legitimately yesterday just disintegrated, it’s just been over a year of owning them and this is a very common problem and apparently it’s my fault even though it’s a very very common issue

  16. @notdimihyper7255 on December 16, 2024 at 7:57 pm

    Hyperx, corsair or razor i need something with good mic and very good sound for shoter games

  17. @HardwareCanucks on December 16, 2024 at 7:58 pm

    ***CORRECTION: HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless and CLOUD III Wireless have a sidetone feature, by long-pressing the mic-mute button you enable "Mic Feedback". It’s audible and does not introduce any hiss. Woops.
    -D.

  18. @aLphawarrior063007 on December 16, 2024 at 7:58 pm

    Goodjob with the comparison! 🍻

  19. @ZyrgSmite on December 16, 2024 at 7:58 pm

    Got the Razer Blackshark v2 PRO and after a month the plastic connecting the headband to the ears broke sadly, want to get a better quality headset that won’t have that problem, especially not as easily

  20. @Isaacmmc on December 16, 2024 at 7:59 pm

    I love an open back headphone but they echo bad with mics

  21. @emo137 on December 16, 2024 at 8:03 pm

    i am vewryu happy with HS80, you right sounds quality is very clear and mic also good but when i use USB cable the sound is very low ( playing CS2) i dont try other game but when youtube is fine,i dont know what happen

  22. @vergil_vt on December 16, 2024 at 8:04 pm

    BLACKSHARK V2 PRO 2023 dose have an amazing mic. Just one big problem is the build quality 3-6 months in and the cheap plastic covers that gets the most tension brake when taking the headset on and off from your head.

  23. @kevinfire98 on December 16, 2024 at 8:08 pm

    This is a great video tbh, it is hard to find a high quality video that compares gaming headsets. You should do a new one once there’s enough new models to compare them.

  24. @TyroneBigguns-mk3og on December 16, 2024 at 8:08 pm

    Kudos to this guy for not dick riding the Audeze Maxwells and mentioning the static with side tone on and the fact that the mic is sub par. No other creator mentions either of these.

  25. @SoulStay on December 16, 2024 at 8:09 pm

    Thanks!

  26. @dave93x on December 16, 2024 at 8:09 pm

    The editing work that went into making this video so easy and digestible is crazy. Very well done, great work.

  27. @docvad13g07 on December 16, 2024 at 8:11 pm

    Corsair virtuosos rbg XT?????

  28. @lynic-0091 on December 16, 2024 at 8:12 pm

    Do NOT buy any razer headset. Their software wont recognize their own products 90% of the time, and your headset will stop working randomly.
    You’ve been warned. I loved the mic on the v2 pro but Razer sucks dog shit. Never buying from them again.

  29. @adrianmh on December 16, 2024 at 8:13 pm

    Super video – exactly what I looked for

  30. @vherostar on December 16, 2024 at 8:15 pm

    if you have an nvidia card any headset can have noise impression and its pretty good too.

  31. @investor.z on December 16, 2024 at 8:16 pm

    Kind of weird the Astro a50s aren’t in here?

  32. @helloansuman on December 16, 2024 at 8:19 pm

    What about Epos 1000 series?

  33. @Zetheek on December 16, 2024 at 8:20 pm

    Wild that you picked all of these and skipped the virtuoso

  34. @helloansuman on December 16, 2024 at 8:22 pm

    What about Audio-Technica Ath-M50Xsts?

  35. @xrmike68 on December 16, 2024 at 8:22 pm

    He talked highly of the Razer Blackshark V2 but I have been through 2 of these and on both the plastic clips on the sides of the headband have failed and split within 12 months. The awful build quality with a clear cheap design flaw at 200 bucks means im never going back to it again even though the mic and audio was good.

  36. @Sunless16 on December 16, 2024 at 8:23 pm

    Best advice when looking for headphones avoid razer😂😂😂

  37. @CalmDownJack on December 16, 2024 at 8:23 pm

    dang these are wireless EEEWW

  38. @J-KUMA on December 16, 2024 at 8:24 pm

    8:47 that frame though 😂

  39. @JonCail24 on December 16, 2024 at 8:26 pm

    This video is amazing wtf

  40. @purelyric4377 on December 16, 2024 at 8:30 pm

    This is the flagship from sony "ARE YOU KIDDING ME". Canucks just made my day!

  41. @1904lando on December 16, 2024 at 8:30 pm

    W video

  42. @stubbs203 on December 16, 2024 at 8:33 pm

    1:05 as I sit here, looking like a clown, wearing a G PRO X 2 Lightspeed, I subscribed. Thank you man. This microphone is absolutely terrible.

  43. @bennypearson754 on December 16, 2024 at 8:34 pm

    the sony headphones sound like storm troopers xD

  44. @buckles780 on December 16, 2024 at 8:35 pm

    What’s the sound quality on the Blackshark V2 and HS80 like?

  45. @runningjordan4608 on December 16, 2024 at 8:36 pm

    This video is all I ever looked for!!! Thanks a lot ❤

  46. @DrawingTechnical on December 16, 2024 at 8:36 pm

    Why are the very expensive of microphones so bad in quality? This is outragreous!! If I spent money on such a mic just to treat myself one day and I found it was bad quality, I would be enraged! Sony is always bad in quality.

  47. @Ducky935 on December 16, 2024 at 8:37 pm

    This is so well formatted, other channels would do the mic test last and talk about the headset first, butr hearing you talk about the headset while using the mic is such a good way to demonstrate the mic

  48. @chextabexta4425 on December 16, 2024 at 8:41 pm

    the beyer dynamic was the best sounding, with the Pros at a second

  49. @traderjo9552 on December 16, 2024 at 8:43 pm

    I think the vast majority of people that will be using a headset on PC will be using Discord and Discords built in Noise suppression which actually works amazing. So really clarity and natural sound for most is far more important than noise cancellation.

  50. @SystemOfFantasy on December 16, 2024 at 8:43 pm

    dude this is the best microfone comparison i have ever seen, im so glad i stumbled upon this video, great work!
