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.
Amazing thorough review from a genuine consumer. Really helpful, appreciate that you took the time to go through all the details. All in all great review!
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.
Fantastic review! Thank you so much for making such an in-depth and thorough look at every single point about this headset. Your review helped convince me to go through with the purchase of these and I shall eagerly await their arrival. Cheers!
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. :-)
@@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.
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. :-)
Great review. Ended up buying a pair of these over Christmas after watching this review and for them being recommended personally by Hoopy3D in game party..keep up the good work 👍.
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.
Dude thanks so much for an in-depth, unbiased review. Would you say the MH751/Pro82s would hold up against the ATHM40X? My M40Xs broke so I'm looking more for audio quality than a gaming headset, but ordered this one because it's comfortable and heard these (based on the Pro82s) actually hold up with audio quality. I hope your channel blows up soon; I would suggest you also do shorter overview videos to capitalize on consumer culture, but please keep putting out the unedited ones too!
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.
Thanks for the in depth review. I was just wondering if the microphone quality would sound different without the adapter/splitter that you used in your sound test. For laptop users like myself who don't have a 3.5mm mic input, will the MH751 microphone sound just as good?
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.
how is this so far? any issue you encountered? i heard some users experienced crosstalk. planning to buy this and thinking if this still worth it this 2022.
@@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?
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.
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.
Great review! I think I'm gunna get these - Do you know if the Mic sends out a sound to the people listening when you use the in-line mute switch? A lot of headsets do this and its very annoying!
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.
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.
@@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.
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. ;-)
