Cooler Master MH751 Gaming Headset - Full Review & Mic Test 

You are very welcome Jeff. Glad you liked the review. :-)

You certainly could stream with a gaming headset mic. Lots of people listen to streams via crappy laptop speakers, but if someone is listening on a good pair of headphones, or via quality desktop speakers. Then they will really appreciate a quality audio stream, and gaming headset mics just don't really cut it.

It's interesting, I've watch several reviews of this headset but for some reason your mic test sounds the best. I'm not sure if that due to a setting being on or off in software but just an odd observation. I actually bought a pair of these based off your mic test clarity where I think I wouldn't have based on other RU-vidrs mic test results. What did you have this headset plugged into when you were recording the mic test?

@@DATApush3r I had the microphone plugged directly into my Cannon 700D Digital SLR Camera. It really is an excellent gaming mic. It's has a clear natural sound without too much compression. One of the best gaming mics out there in my opinion. I didn't use any software to enhance or alter the audio in any way.

Thank you very much. It's really nice to know people appreciate the time and effort I put into it. I wanted to give people as much information as I could, so they could make an informed decision.

It's really good to know that people appreciate the review. Thanks for taking the time to leave such a supportive comment. I hope you enjoy owning the headset as much as I do. :-)

How are they holding up? Mind giving a small review?

@@fernoflake Yeah no worries. They have been absolutely fantastic so far - mic quality is great, still comfy as ever. The pleather hasn't deteriorated at all and they still sound great. One gripe however, their is a screw on the right cup that attaches itself to the swivel of the band. This came loose on my first pair after about 2-3 months and due to its location, it is unable to be fixed at home and so had to get a replacement pair. The replacement pair seem to have held up but sometimes feel a bit loose around the screw area. I have looked around and it doesn't seem to be an isolated incident as well, a lot of people are having their screws come loose unfortunately. If this pair breaks again I will unfortunately have to get a different pair of headphones, as good as they are, they simply don't last due to this one tiny fault.

@@stephenscott3769 oh, I was convinced that they had addressed that issue within the newer batches of late last year. Bummer

@@fernoflake They may have and I could have just received old stock from a third party supplier, but either way it is evident unfortunately.

Cheerz mate. Thanks so much for the sub. It's really appreciated. :-)

Thanks for the support. It can be quite daunting choosing the right headset. Even if the video only helps a handful of people make the right choice. Then I'm happy. :-)

Thanks Andy. Hope you're having a great Christmas.

How have they held up?

Thanks mate. I know the review is a bit long, but I wanted to give people as much information as I could. If I'm interested in a product. I want to know as much as possible before spending my money.

Thanks for the advice and subscription Krishna. Sorry to hear about your broken M40Xs. That's a real bummer. I don't have any personal experience with the M40Xs, so wouldn't feel comfortable making a comparison. Although MH751/2s audio and mic quality is excellent for the money. They're still a budget headset, so as long as you keep that in mind and don't expect too much. Then you sould be very happy with them.

It sure does. You're very welcome by the way, and thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. It's really appreciated. :-)

Hi Gavin. So glad you liked the review. The microphone is excellent and should sound just as good with the USB dongle that comes with the MH752. Although I haven't tested it myself. As long as the Analogue-to-digital (ADC) converter you use for the mic is good quality, then you should be fine.

@@Hoopy3D Thanks for the helpful info. Liked your vid and subbed to your channel. Keep up the great work!

Thanks Gavin. That is much appreciated. :-)

Yeah Takstar make some good headphones, so it's no bad thing.

You're very welcome boss :-)

Thanks mate. :-)

Thanks mate. Your encouragement is much appreciated. :-)

also, how is the durability?

@@nekonigiri9274 Yeah the MH751 is still a solid purchase in my opinion. I'm quite careful with my stuff so can't really comment too much of durability, but they seem fine to me. No crosstalk for me at all. Still work perfectly. Maybe it's the MH752 with the crosstalk problem?

Thank you Sega Dreamcast. I actually feel quite inspired to get my Dreamcast down from the loft and play Crazy Taxi. :-)

@@Hoopy3D then go get it! hahaha!

Sorry mate. My PC isn't up to gaming. So unfortunately I don't have any levels for you. Glad you liked the review though. :-)

@@Hoopy3D Thank you for the reply. I actually meant the settings for the microphone device from the control panel in windows.

I've not used Windows in years. I'm running Fedora Linux on my PC and Laptop these days. I used to play games on my PC in the 1990s but it got too expensive constantly upgrading to play the latest games. It seemed like I spent more time tweaking drivers than actually playing games. :-)

Thank you. It's cool to know people like yourself appreciate the work I put into it. The review turned out longer than intended, but I hoped people would find it helpful.

Thank you. :-)

It's definitely one of the best gaming headset microphones.

I've got the MH751 not the MH752. They still work fine. No issues. The price of this headset has increased since I purchased mine for £50. So they don't represent such great value as before, but they're still a solid buy.

The mute switch is kinda fiddly, but no it doesn't send out any sounds. It's purely an analogue headset. There's no digital circuitry to generate any audio itself. Thanks for leaving a comment. So glad you found the review helpful. :-)

It's exactly the same microphone, but peoples microphone input circuitry can alter the sound quality slightly. Even the acoustics of the room they are recording in, and how far they have the mic from their mouth can alter the sound. Maybe the USB dongle that comes with the MH752 doesn't have the best analogue to digital converter. Unfortunately I don't have the dongle to test. :-(

Good question r_hawk. It's an omni-directional microphone. Which you can position close to your mouth. So this allows you to keep ambient noise levels low. Like all microphones it will pick up typing sounds, but you shouldn't find it to be a problem. Unless you're using a particularly noisy keyboard, or streaming.

They're only 32ohm with a sensitivity of 97dB @1KHz. So I don't see why people would be getting low volumes. I have plenty of volume on my PS4 controller and laptop.

Definitely. Even though the price has increased. I only payed £50 for them new. Personally I do prefer the open back Sennheiser Game One headset, but if you want closed back. They're still a great option. Although I know you youngsters like flashy LED lighting and bass boost. So maybe not. 😉

Thank you. :-) Yes I use my MH751 headset on my PS4 via the 3.5mm jack socket on the controller. The MH752 version of the headset comes with a USB surround sound dongle, but I don't know if it's compatible with the PS4. I suspect it may be for PC use only. Please correct me if I am wrong.

The Blue Yeti is a much better quality mic. If the Blue Yeti meets your needs. Then why not just get some headphones and save a bit of money? The MH751 headset is based on the Takstar Pro 82 headphone.

The price has gone up a lot since I did the review, but I still think they're worth the money.

They still sound very good even at low volumes. Higher volumes is where most cheaper headsets normally struggle, but the MH751s still perform well. They do compare well to much more expensive headsets & headphones, but don't expect too much.

@@Hoopy3D Cool, I am just worried that if I buy another headphone I won't use it because of its weak volume and/or bad sound (and I already bought like 5-6 headphones and they were all bad with weak volume and weren't having rich sound).

It that case I would recommend you spend more money and go for the Beyerdynamics DT990 headphones. They have a rich sound with deep bass. Go for the 250 ohm version which give better sound reproduction than the 32 ohm. I have a review for them on my channel.

@@Hoopy3D Thing is I don't need a strong bass, just clear and powerful sound, the big question is whether the MH751 is quiet on low volume or not? people recommend it so I am confused and I am not sure.

@@21EC If you want more volume on a lower signal strength. Then you need a low impedance headset or headphones. The MH751 is only 26 ohm impedance so you will get good volume even with low amplification. The problem is low impedance headphones don't tend to sound as good as high impedance ones. I think this may be the problem you are having.

Short answer is to get the USB version (MH752) if you game on PC, or stick with the MH751 version if you're a console player. I play on console and have the headset plugged into the controller.

@@Hoopy3D i game on PC, do they have noise cancelling?

@@xRiki11 No active noise cancelling, but being closed back they do a reasonable job of passive noise isolation. Unfortunately the USB dongle does not provide side-tone. So you can't hear yourself talk very well.

@@Hoopy3D oh okay, thank you!

@@Hoopy3D how does the mic quality sound when it’s connected to the controller? Thank you for this review

It's possible but the jack socket is recessed due to the cable locking mechanism, so it would be a matter of finding a suitable cable.

Have you tried using another headset to make sure it's not the macbook?

I do have a review of the Hyper X Cloud Alphas but I don't have any personal experience of the Cloud 2s. I still have my MH751s but I sold the Alphas. My personal favourite headset is the Sennheiser Game One. I would take those into consideration too. Sorry I can't give you a definitive answer but I've never used the Cloud 2s myself.

Sorry I don't have a brother to test this with. :-( I understand brothers can be very noisy. The noise isolation is quite good on this headset, but unfortunately you'll probably still be able to hear him. ;-)

As long as the phone has a 3.5mm TRRS Jack Socket. Which most Smartphones do have.

Hoopy3D What about the iPhone 7 Plus?

@@vincele6046 The new iPhones don't have a 3.5mm Jack socket, so you'd need an adapter. Apple wants everyone to go wireless.
