For $450 I expect the headset to be fully loaded with every single possible bell and whistle so the fact that it doesn't have active noise canceling is a deal breaker
I'm looking for something to play with vr, and now cancelling makes me feel very slightly nauseous. Vr also makes me feel a little nauseous. Both tolerable, but I don't feel a huge urge to put both of those things together
Thank you so much for doing a mic test - I would be mortified if I bought some of these mics for their prices and I sounded like I was speaking into a pringles tube
That's my takeaway too. Air conditioning units are running in my home all summer, and I don't want to be bothering my friends with that droning on in the background
I wear glasses, so thanks a ton CNET for getting this guy to review these! I don’t find many video reviews that will speak to comfort levels while wearing glasses. - I think I’m go with the SteelSeries pair.
Did you bought them ? Thinking about buying arctis 7p+ because Im wearing glasses, bought the pulse 3d and after half an hour my whole head hurts. It sucks cause I really like the design and sound quality is very good for 70€.
Don’t buy the pulse 3D. One of the worst headsets I’ve bought for a console that’s supposed too be good. Spend a couple extra dollars and you won’t be disappointed. The soundstage isn’t good at all.
@@Buuboi214 I didn’t have an issue with any of the recommendations but the pulse 3D. I’ve spent way too much money on headsets over the years and just went with the basic Sony OEM headset and Xbox OEM headset. Stick to the $100-$200 range for wireless headsets and as in the video the HyperX is probably the best for under $100.
@@BruceRichwineJr if u don’t mind I need some advice. Looking for a gaming headset for ps5, $100-200 anything 200+ is hard to justify. I got a big head but don’t wear glasses and have been using a $45 pair of turtle beaches for a year or so. I just want good quality and comfort, anything you’d recommend? I’m pretty new to headsets and have just been running in circles doing research
I have a ps 3d pulse headset. My opinion its a below average headset. Feels cheap, battery is decent, it is comfortable. Don't care much for the internal mic. I miss flipping the outside mic up for mute.There is some others little petty reasons that make me miss my prior heads also. 200 or less headset is the HyperX brand. I miss that headset. Again just my opinion
@@kawaiibatman hmmm… not sure. Haven’t had them long enough to really tell. The leather is comfy, though. There is one thing that does annoy me, though. The fact that you cannot adjust the headband size. It is making me consider just using my regular headphones and an audio jack to be honest.
im currently looking for a new headset. i ended up selling my pulse headset, I have a big nogging and it was just simply too tight/constricting. But the audio sounded great especially the 3d, it was awesome to use during the "dead space remake". Just wish it sat more comfortably on my head for extended periods of gameplay
I'd say the biggest thing I'm looking for is something to cancel fan and background audio. I like to stream, but I hate either forcing people to listen to my fan, or sit in a hot room to please viewers. Is there any headsets with this preset that isn't gonna break my bank??
Have ‘em too, wish they were a little louder but they sound great still. Only pain for me is having to unplug/ replug dongle into different console & the little switch on the dongle itself… I realize this is a first world problem but just my little issues with the headset.
@@eastyasstrouble little late, but the 3d audio works with every stereo headphones, its just a virtual technique, only advantage of pulse 3d is the equalizer on ps5 console
The PS5s 360 headphones feel weird on my head. I love the Hyper X and the Steel Series. The steel series mic is unreal and they are extremely comfortable,I love them.
@@UberIntruder I’m assuming that they can be used for the ps5 since Sony has limited our options on headset accessibility? How’s the surround sound quality and can you hear directional footsteps? Plus does this headset give you the ability to adjust the game and chat volume at different levels? Sorry for all the questions but I’m really interested in this model headset. Thanks
@@icedventi yes, ps5, I’ve been only using it to play NHL 2023 with my friend, so can’t really comment on the directional quality. Sound good, and super comfortable.
Don't have any of these.. got an old pair of "Corsair Vond Elite surround" all-black.that I picked up some years ago at a regional Black Friday sale at around 30euro here in Denmark. not been used a lot, but does the job... like they are quite big with huge earcups and comfortable but I reckon they could be to big if you got a little small head and small ears.. for a male nordic adult head.. the size is great..
every headset has 3D audio, BUT every headset handles it differently. I bet the Arctis 7p+ will have better surround quality than my cheap 25$ razer headset.
Funny that the arctis 7 pro had a tinny voice with ambient sound. My regular old arc 7 I'm told is clear and they can only hear my voice. I went as far as to wash dishes and have my laundry washer and dryer going. I was even able to hear it through my friends stream.
There trash, if you like thay low volume but good sound enjoy then bro.. I bought these and brought them back asap my hyperx cloud stinger as louder and sound jsut ad good. There 60$ and not 150. Plus you don't have to change you EQ on the pc everytime.. thays the dumbest shot ever
all i gotta say for those considering buying any wireless TB headsets, after using them for about 9 months theyll produce earer4pe noises and disconnect or deafen randomly even when updated to the latest software using my PC app for it, dont waste your money on Turtle Beaches
I have the pulse and I’m disappointed by the performance and want a new one. It’s good but not the best. The main thing I dislike is the voice monitoring is almost non existent and not adjustable. Overall for $100 it’s okay but it’s worth spending an extra $30 to $50 more on some better headsets
Get the steel series it is really good and lasted me several years until I just broke it last night like a moron, I use it for competitive shooters and it worked great
@@niklassrk yheh I learnt there is actually infact 2 USB ports at the front but there both different sizes of USB ports LOL never knew, hope this helps
Still to this day am looking for a wireless headset with a good quality mic. Heck, id pay an insane amount of money just to have a fully wireless headset/mic with really good mic quality
How good is virtual surround sound of Tempest 3D-Engine working with the other headsets? Or is Tempest 3D-Engine only working in combination with the PS-Headset? On my PS4 I use a Tritton 720+ but the PS5 has no optical out, so I maybe would need a new one but don't wanna miss 3D-virtual surround sound.
Is it normal that the arctis 7p+ is not that good because is have 1 for two days now and it is so muffeld and even with the software change i still have a bad time does anyone have tips?
The problem is that all of those sets apart from Pulse, sound horrible on ps5. I use steelseries and it's feel like two different sets switching between pc and ps5. 100k much better sound on pc.
I picked up the v2 pros Sunday on sale for $122. Was originally aiming for the Arctis 7p+ but haven't restocked at any of the bestbuys in my town in a month or so. I find the V2's to be a bit bassy. Still deciding if I want to keep them or try out another. Maybe mess around with the eq some more before deciding to return them. Coming from a HyperX Cloud Stingers. How are your V2's?
@@timtoomuch They definitely get very loud without a doubt. It might not right out of the box. You'll have to download the synapse eq stuff to your computer then plug in the dongle to the pc and turn on the headset and you'll see some settings pop up and you can turn up the max volume which I believe is default at 65 or 75. My problem was I couldn't get them to sound as crystal clear as my $49.99 HyperX Cloud Stingers. Those are amazing at footsteps on cod. So I returned the V2 pros but they were VERY comfy. Im probably gonna buy another pair of those Cloud Stingers as they are on sale for $29.99 and in the future go all out and spend the extra cash and get a top tier wireless headset that has its own dac station like the Arctis Nova Pros.
@@timtoomuch They definitely have plenty of BASS too. With or without Bass boost so if you like that you'll definitely like them. I'm basically trying to find a wireless headset that has the exact or close too the sound as my Hyperx Cloud Stingers which seems impossible at this point. Those BlackShark v2 pros definitely get loud I had to actually turn them back down from 100 max volume from within the synapse app.
are you dating with your gamingheadsets on? c'mon who the f care about how you look when your gaming. grow a backbone and stop worrying what other people feel about you.
I like your honest take on each headset, but specifically how you ended with the MG20. I have the Audezy penrose x and use it on multi platform, but wonder if the MG20’s are even better?
Love my Penrose headset. Incredible sound. Comfort isn't the best, but I swapped out the ear cups for wicked cushion ear cups following The Techne video. Won't be replacing these anytime soon.
hi, i have the hyper x but my mic cuts out and pops due to the connection with my controller. how do i fix this? no matter what, if the mic is wired this seems to happen
0:04 no there’s really not , bought Sony headphones (Sony PS5 sorry you can’t connect these to me) yet Nintendo Switch be like 10 meters away working fine…
I would not recommend buying Steelseries wireless headphones. I’ve had 2 now and both have broke within a month of owning them. Not physically broken, just the wireless hardware or something glitches and won’t allow you to charge them or connect. Actually ridiculous
listen, i thought ps5 headsets were the best but tbh i had them for a year and they are alright , they do the work and for the price its okay and a safe sound, but i would suggest other headset for sure !
