Transcripts
so about 2 and 1/2 years ago I released
this video and it quickly did two things
number one it quickly became one of my
consistently highest viewed videos I
think right now it's sitting right
around 1.1 million views which is great
but number two it severely damaged my
credibility to a lot of people who
hadn't seen my channable before which is
not so great the premise of this video
was dead simple everybody featured had
two recommendations to make two picks
one that was accessible and affordable
and one that was money is no object for
the affordable pick nearly everyone
picked the drop epo's PC 38x and for the
money is No Object pick nearly everyone
including myself picked the senheiser
800s a headphone that was $600 at the
time so the video goes on to be wildly
successful reaches a ton of new viewers
the problem was everyone just assumed
that this was some deep conspiracy that
we were all in on to get a huge bag from
sinhe I swear on my mother's life nobody
associated with that video saw a dime
from senheiser they didn't have anything
to do with it and no money changed hands
between anybody in that video and any a
company either I thought it was funny at
the time in hindsight I can't see how
somebody would draw that conclusion I'm
not mad at it so we're running it back
for summer 2024 a lot of great stuff has
come out since then IM IMS are playing a
much larger role in the audio space and
the economy is just kind of ass right
now so we'll see how well those picks
from before still hold up today all the
guys you're about to see today are
people that I personally hold in very
high regard for their audio knowledge
and it's important to understand that I
ask them what they use not what they
recommend nobody today is telling you to
run out and drop $4 or $1,500 on a
headphone and nobody is making the
assertion that if you do spend that
money it's going to greatly improve your
gameplay sadly Zeos won't be making a
return with us this time around because
a lot of viewers were left confused
about what type of file he really was
the questions today are really
straightforward since every game audio
engine is different what games do you
play primarily single player FPS which
FPS what do you use that could be
considered an affordable or accessible
pick what do you use if money is No
Object and have your picks changed from
last time around and why I'll leave my
answers to the end let's check in with
Joe from gadri Tech hey thanks for
having me Brian what's up everyone it's
Joe from gaty Tech and I have a few fun
picks of what I personally enjoy gaming
on the most starting with the Maxwell
from Odyssey no surprise there it really
is an audio file like headphone with all
of the gamer features people are looking
for like game to chat mix onboard EQ and
of course a microphone for $300 it
completely reset the bar of what was
possible from a gaming headset from a
sound quality perspective so I think
it's natural that audio files are going
to gravitate towards this especially if
you appreciate excellent tuning from
base to treble it just does everything
right whether you're playing single
story games or multiplayer it really is
an exceptional headphone and when you
have the convenience of Wireless it's
just really tough to beat now as great
as the Maxwell is the headset I have
used the most since it came out is the
eost H6 Pro open acoustic this is
arguably not as good sounding as the
drop PC 38x but I chose it because it's
more comfortable for me me and I think
cup is such an important thing to factor
on a gaming headset it still sounds
great being an open back with fairly
good tuning has a flip to mute mic
excellent build quality and I swapped
the pads out to the dcone jerseys which
is just chef's kiss in terms of comfort
when you connect that with that audio
performance to something like a creative
gc7 deck which is giving me game to chat
mix and onboard EQ so I can quickly mute
my friends when I'm in a sweaty
situation or quiet the game down if I
need to hear what they're saying it's
just a total package and at under $300
it's a really compelling analog offering
that frankly should last forever now I
want to give a quick shout out to IM cuz
the value they represent for gaming is
just absolutely absurd and one of my
favorite ones to use is the simgot em6 L
the nozzle is smaller so again is
extremely comfortable but the tuning on
this and the driver Arrangement is just
exceptional for gaming and also for
footstep awareness and detail retrieval
so if you're trying to play a little bit
more competitive honestly really
consider an IM they help block out more
noise like a PC fan and having that low
noise floor helps with subtle details
they run off of basically anything and
you can get a $10 Apple dongle and be
good to go or if you want something more
robust with a volume knob fi k11 is a
great pick so yeah even though I have
access to the hd800s or the zmf Caldera
open I still play on gaming products or
more affordable stuff because that's
really all I need to be competitive in
gaming and the comfort and features and
capabilities are just as important as
sound quality when it comes to having a
good gaming experience I do compare a
lot of this stuff on my channel so if
you haven't seen me before be sure to
pop by and take a look I'd love to see
you there thanks so much for having me
Ryan back to you solid stuff from Joe I
really like the idea that he dialed in
on convenience features that you get
with gaming stuff that you normally
don't get with audio file stuff there's
a lot to be said for quality of life
features next up are some faces you'll
probably recognize from the
headphones.com team who are also not
sponsoring this video in any way today
but they're all great guys so things are
a little bit different from last time I
kind of have a toss up on a things so
it's hard to pick one direct Choice one
thing that's really stood out is since
last time me and a bunch of guys sat
down did a blind test we put on
headphones just like this blindfolded
ourselves and then we're turning around
in various video games trying to hit
other players we did this in Destiny
Counter Strike valerant OverWatch bunch
of things and the results were really
interesting in fact this one the 6xx a
headphone known for not having much
Sound Stage really came out on top and
there's an interesting reason for that
while this doesn't have much Sound Stage
it does have a very strong Center image
which means when a sound is coming from
right in front of you it's easy to lock
on and know exactly where it is so when
I turn and face that player that I hear
I know that I'm facing them regardless
if I can see it or not these excel at
that now since you have eyeballs that
might be a little bit less useful in
fact I think that peripheral sound is
still more important in gaming because
you probably have functioning eyes and
you can see when something is in front
of you so on the budget pick I still am
saying the senheiser PC 38x and yeah on
the absolute top end for gaming I would
still recommend the hd800s but I want to
throw a few things in the middle Odyssey
Maxwell is pretty good though I don't
think it's amazing for gaming I think
it's better for music than anything else
but sound isolation can help quite a bit
you could make a similar case for really
weird headphones like the Bose
qc352 Bose is not a great brand as far
as sound quality is concerned but their
noise cancelling is really good their
comfort is really good and the Imaging
is good enough that with that low of a
noise floor it's pretty easy to hear
when there's footsteps happening if you
really need to hear a footstep over
background noise noise cancelling is the
way to go and if you want a non siser
answer for an open back headphone look
at the Hyman Sara but something really
interesting we learned during that test
is that headphones with super elevated
treble like crazy peaky ones like the
dt990 didn't do as well I've been
telling people for years the dt990 is a
pretty crappy pair of headphones but
this is just another thing that
reinforces it for me don't tell me it's
a studio headphone it's not a studio
head phone that's a entirely different
rabbit hole and uh if you think I'm
wrong 1 V one me snipers and hand
cannons only widows
court and uh yeah those are my top
headphones for playing Among Us wait
that's not the game we're doing I used
to play FPS games quite a bit primarily
csgo and for that honestly if your
budget is completely unlimited there is
really only one choice and that is the
Sennheiser
hd800s these have one of the most
expansive soundstage presentations you
can get in a headphone with a tuning
that puts a slight emphasis on both
footsteps and gunshots that combined
with csgo's hrtf audio engine in
particular means that these are
basically as close to cheating as it
gets without actually cheating they're
fairly easy to drive you don't need a
crazy amplifier to run them and they are
also still to this day one of my
absolute favorites for General music
listening as well if you're looking for
something a little less expensive than
these though the truth ear red are an IM
IM tuned by kral that come in at just
over $50 these have a tuning that beats
many much more expensive products No
harsh Peaks or other problems that
unfortunately often plague more
affordable gear and they also
interestingly have an adapter which
boosts the amount of bass produced by
the IM making them pretty ideal for more
cinematic and immersive experiences like
The Witcher 3 or balers gate for example
but there's one product that I really
want to talk about that isn't actually a
headphone now the game that I play most
is E online it is a space-based MMO and
it is an incredibly socially driven game
so you spend most of your time on voice
chat with other players sometimes even
flying in fleets of hundreds or
thousands of players and you need to be
able to communicate properly so what do
you do when you want to use good
headphones you don't want to go with the
audio quality drawbacks and compromises
that typically come with gaming headsets
but you do still need a mic well you
take your headphones and you slap one of
these on Boom your headphones are now a
headset this is the ant lion mod mic
Wireless and I absolutely love it it
comes with a few of these small dots
that you you can just place on your
favorite headphones the microphone
itself then just attaches and detaches
wirelessly you can fold it up there's no
extra cables to Fumble about with it is
simply the most convenient way to
instantly turn any pair of good
headphones into a gaming headset oh
we're talking about headphones first of
all big thanks to Bad Seed tech for
including me in this video now in this
video we're talking about headphones for
gaming specifically and if you're
wondering what game I play it is
primarily Starcraft 2 I play at a very
high level and know you cannot beat me I
will destroy you let it be known that
you all have skill issues compared to me
in that game and you all need to get
good but of course traditional things
like Sound Stage and imaging don't
really matter when it comes to games
like that the Precision is less
important so any headphones that are
good for music are going to be good for
that as well but we actually did some
blind testing with headphones in
competitive FPS games uh specifically we
used Counter Strike and we used Destiny
2 and OverWatch and we tested this with
hd6xx dt990 Maxwell imperion like all
kinds of different headphones and it
wasn't as clearcut as just like this
headphone has a big Sound Stage and you
know even Imaging therefore the
performance is better turns out that
there were two key factors that
influenced this number one was the game
engine itself and number two was
actually how used to the headphone the
person was so even though we might
recommend an hd800s for gaming don't
think that this necessarily confers a
competitive advantage over other far
less expensive headphones so I'm going
to give you two picks here for my
affordable pick I'm going to go with the
beay dynamic dt770 it's just easy it
works it isolates well no problem for my
high-end pick so originally my pick for
a high-end price Noob gaming headphone
was the hd800s as I imagine it was for
many other people if you've followed any
of what I do you'll know that I am also
regularly critical of this headphone it
has a number of issues particularly in
the treble that I'm not a huge fan of in
fact I regularly roast our Acoustics
engineer who absolutely loves this
headphone unironically however we're
talking here specifically about gaming
and for that application it's still a
high-end pick that I'm going to
recommend to people why for the hd800s
you are very unlikely to get a channel
imbalance not only are the tolerances
incredibly tight for that headphone but
its consistency on the head means that
your actual Inu Channel balance stands a
good chance of being better than what
you get with headphones that have
massive you know compressive pads that
while nice and feel good are you know
potentially going to cause issues for
the channel matching when it's actually
being worn in practice really what you
should be looking for is good Channel
matching a good frequency response and
comfort still some vouches for the 800s
in this economy somebody go tag
Sennheiser on Twitter and tell them to
run me my check for this video please
and thanks next up is one guy who always
has amazing visuals and one guy who's
probably the funniest in the entire
audio space you'll figure out which is
which hey guys thanks for having me on
the show appreciate it uh I'm a new dad
and I've chosen to spend my free time
absolutely punishing myself with hell
divers lately but my picks here wouldn't
actually change if I was playing PVP or
PVE where I need more immersion more big
bass drops kind of cool soundtrack stuff
these headphones I think are good for
all the above so what I've personally
just been using for years at this point
is the PC 38x I know it's not a
showstopper anything like that but it's
a headphone that I'm familiar with it's
super comfortable it works just off the
onboard audio on my computer or off the
Xbox controller it's got a good mic a
volume control on the side for me it's
just kind of a really good pick for a
gaming headphone I'm going to be using
this Until It Breaks when it does break
I'll probably upgrade to an odyssey
Maxwell I was really impressed with that
headphone when I reviewed it it has
excellent sound for not just games but
music as well it's just a really solid
overall performer and I don't mind the
heavier weight now if I don't have to
have a microphone I would personally
prefer to use IM IMS most of the more
popular IM IMS today are really amazing
a lot of stuff from Moon drop KZ
Sennheiser is really really good so any
of those top brands just look up reviews
on YouTube I'm sure Brian has some too
they're pretty killer and if you're just
looking at Value I think the IM IMS
right now are where it's at so there's
the gaming headphone I use and the ones
I would recommend they're all really
solid options can't really go wrong with
any of them thanks for having me on I
appreciate
it I have a confession to make I am a
single player boy now I have been on my
second playthrough of R Dead Redemption
2 I've played a bit of Starfield and I'm
currently in the middle of a bit of a
Newman Sky kind of vibe but in terms of
what I had talked about in the last
video whether or not I still would
recommend them sure I still would the
Sennheiser hd800s Still Remains on my
desk though at this point it's more
relegated as a Discord headphone the PC
38x Still Remains one of the only really
good open bat gaming headsets that you
can buy today so I would still recommend
it it's still a really really good
headphone and of course the C ksc75 it's
cheap it's good reliable it just works
why wouldn't it be a recommendation I
know IMS have been kind of the big hot
and trending thing in the gaming sphere
but as the I
guy I don't really care for it I think
in terms of immersiveness an IM isn't
really going to get you to the same
level as you would let's say a headphone
or even a pair of speakers but that's it
I know a lot of Pros out there really
like how Iams like shoot the sound
straight into your ears and you do hear
the details that would otherwise be
missed by a pair of open back headphones
or even speakers but I have to bring up
the caveat again that y boy is no longer
a big gamer boy anymore but um I like to
introduce you to my videographer which
is a big old sweaty gamer boy himself my
name is Nathan the office's resident
rank sweat and my suggestion for a
gaming IM am is the moon that's not show
my product let's talk about the stuff
that I don't actually make I've used
your hyper X's your razors I even tried
like high in headphones Moon drop
earphones and as of late uh the ie600
and in my experience I didn't feel like
any of them were better I certainly
enjoyed some more than the others but
nothing really made me better at the
video game in my opinion you don't have
to spend hundreds of dollars on your pro
gaming headphones get something decent
and that'll serve you just fine and if
you put a gun to my head and asked me
what the objective best gaming IM was
it's the Apple earpods why take ASU some
one of the best Apex players there he
religiously sticks to the Apple earpods
and I think that says something that you
know you can be really good at the game
without very fancy and odd
expensive equipment final recommendation
earpods earbuds King good maybe I don't
know I like what crin guy had to say but
it's weird when we talk about Pros
because their skill level like their
aiming ability their game IQ just their
sheer mental processing speed they're
going to be top tier at the game
regardless of what kind of gear they use
I mean ASU could probably wreck your
on a Sonic the Hedgehog 3 in1
gaming Loadout for mere mortals
especially those of us who are older
with compromised reaction time I'm going
to take every single incremental
Advantage I can get my hands on I still
play mostly Cod multiplayer I will say
if you're on a tight budget iems like
Krone truth ear zero collab are very
good the only reason I don't personally
use IM is because I can't deal with
something in my ear canal for longer
than like 45 minutes to an hour what I
personally use 95% of the time is The
Odyssey Maxwell now these aren't cheap
at 300 or 330 depending on which version
you go with but if somebody kidnapped my
family in exchange for my headphone
collection and I could only keep one
thing it would be this they're Wireless
but they don't sound like Wireless they
are closed back but they sound similar
to an open back they sound incredible
for gaming and everything else the EQ
modes are super effective they're
comfortable for extended periods despite
being one of the heavier options and
most most important they have the
ability to instantly add a mic when I
want one and they have side tone and
chat mix right on the headset I
understand that that's a price point
that's still out of range for most
people or would at least constitute the
complete highend of what they would
spend on gaming audio so for something
more affordable do I still recommend the
drop epost PC 38x absolutely it's got a
mic attached to it that sounds great and
you can plug it right into your
motherboard or console controller and
you're Off to the Races these run 169
you can occasionally find these on sale
but I would definitely stick with the
all black version not the Yellow Version
because the black version's frame has a
more relaxed clamping Force these are
way more comfortable than the yellow
ones as for the 800s I still really like
this headphone for gaming not for music
I've never liked this for music because
it's really bright and it lacks base
it's also insanely comfortable it feels
like it just disappears on your head but
I think we now have ways to get a lot
closer to what it offers for a lot less
money these also have an insanely large
Sound Stage or how big the audio world
feels around you I used to put a lot of
stock into that I used to talk about a
lot I don't so much anymore because cuz
it Doesn't Really translate to what I
play in COD multiplayer it's such a fast
grind I'm never really worried about the
distance where an enemy is located I do
have some buddies that play war zone
that have come back after running these
and have told me that it kind of throws
them off that makes it tougher for them
to find the real distance of an enemy
the HD 490 pro at 399 gives me a lot of
what the 800s gives me it's an extremely
comfortable headphone it's got less
Basse than even the HD 560s and the
stage feels big but not artificial big
it's like a legit wall hack headphone
I've got a review coming up on it pretty
quick what makes it challenging is that
it's basically twice as much as the HD
560s which is very good and maybe a
little more versatile so unless you've
just got money to burn it's a tougher
recommend and a runner upnot to the bare
Dynamic tiger 300r at $200 but I really
wish they do a version with a detachable
cable because that really throws people
off those are my top three right now for
FPS Imaging and the PC 38x is right up
there in that same group it is important
to understand that all my
recommendations are open back headphones
if you need privacy or isolation stick
to IM im's Maxwell or the bare Dynamic
dt770 if you need a closed back option
so there it is hopefully the sequel was
more helpful than the original version
don't forget to go check out any of the
creators we saw today if you're not
familiar with their stuff already and
