I like how the Cloud III sounds natural, even if it lacks bass a bit. The MMX 200 lack mid-tones a bit.
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
Are the HS80 Max in this after the firmware update?
Synapse destroys my mic on the black shark v2 pro , had to uninstall it otherwise people on discord can hardly hear me
something i learned in this video… Pro.. doesnt mean good
thank you i been looking for a new one right now im using hyper x 2 cloud right now
What microphone would be in the top 3 of December 2024, would you say?
This is exactly what I was looking for, thank you for making this video!
Upload mic test for wired gaming headset please!!
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.
LOL SONY H9 , what a shame 😉
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.
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.
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.
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
Hyperx, corsair or razor i need something with good mic and very good sound for shoter games
***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.
Goodjob with the comparison! 🍻
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
I love an open back headphone but they echo bad with mics
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
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.
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.
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.
Thanks!
The editing work that went into making this video so easy and digestible is crazy. Very well done, great work.
Corsair virtuosos rbg XT?????
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.
Super video – exactly what I looked for
if you have an nvidia card any headset can have noise impression and its pretty good too.
Kind of weird the Astro a50s aren’t in here?
What about Epos 1000 series?
Wild that you picked all of these and skipped the virtuoso
What about Audio-Technica Ath-M50Xsts?
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.
Best advice when looking for headphones avoid razer😂😂😂
dang these are wireless EEEWW
8:47 that frame though 😂
This video is amazing wtf
This is the flagship from sony "ARE YOU KIDDING ME". Canucks just made my day!
W video
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.
the sony headphones sound like storm troopers xD
What’s the sound quality on the Blackshark V2 and HS80 like?
This video is all I ever looked for!!! Thanks a lot ❤
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.
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
the beyer dynamic was the best sounding, with the Pros at a second
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.
dude this is the best microfone comparison i have ever seen, im so glad i stumbled upon this video, great work!
