Headsets vs Headphones vs Earbuds vs IEMs - What is the best for gaming? 

Do you have like a mic or do you use the mic on the earbuds

​@@KanyewestMINIONHe literally said that he uses the Samson Q2U microphone

@@wdymgaming oh my bad didn’t see that

I really don't need another pair of IEMs but I am very tempted to get the Truthear Zero:RED. Just to see how good budget IEMs have become.

I believe they're meant to be some of the best in the sub £100 range

I have the KZ ZEX Pro, which I was impressed with. This is why I was curious if Crin could work the same magic on something cheaper.

Hs65s are 50 dollars pounds and super super super lite and comfortable and have a top level in game imaging directionary sound and unbeaten mic

​@@goukigod the Zero Reds aren't good for gaming. Both PvP and immersive. The Zero blue is. But when you have an EM6l and the Hidizs mp 145, you don't need that, unless you're just plain curious.

Glad I could help! I haven't tried those. I have used H6PRO open back extensively though and it's my go-to headset for horror games.

What was your result?

@@victorenock Blackshark v2 is the best headset, Soundocre q35 is decent for music listening. H6pro was a major disappointment.

If I wanted Bluetooth sound qaulity I'd get my old single speaker tape recorder fromm1981 out the loft and play a old cassette tape on it...

Anything that has good imaging will help you pinpoint individual sounds should be your top priority. Beyond that, using EQ settings, like the FPS modes you find in most software like SteelSeries Sonar can help too.

you need surround sound, the headphones need to support surround sound or you can simulate it by using "Windows Sonic for headphones" or Dolby Atmos Gaming feature. This guy in the video is not a real gamer, he doesn't know what he's talking about.

don't buy stereo headphones, as they will only have 2 channels, so you'll only hear the sounds coming from either left or right of your player/character but not 360 surround sound

@@user_bilal you have to be trolling lmao

@@liquidsunshine697 U can also use steel series sonar, or windows sonic for headphones spatial audio to simulate surround sound but only a headphones that supports 5.1 or 7.1 channel surround sound will be good for gaming. Left and right is not enough, U need to know if the enemy is up or down as well

Are you talking about the bose?

Surround sound built in immediately takes it out of the budget category. That said, I think something with great imaging can be as good, if not better than surround sound. If you want a good all rounder in terms of audio performance and comfort, the Simgot EM6L IEM is worth checking out

Now there's a question that audiophiles will debate until the end of time... I think it comes down to taste and budget. You can get a great pair of IEMs for under $50 US whereas $200 is the starting price for a good pair of headphones. To overly simplify things, IEMs are a good affordable option particularly if you like bass. Headphones are better if you want a wide soundstage and they are generally more comfortable for long sessions.

Go get IEMs instead

Great point! You can totally do that in most cases.

Depends on your budget. IEMs can be a great place to start because there are some good cheap options. I prefer headphones but they start at around $200 US

@@goukigod I see, I'm out of that budget range rn, but if I save it up, would you say it's better to straight go for expensive or have a cheap one first?

Maybe try IEMs first then to test the water. I'd suggest checking out @DMS3TV or @crin for recommendations.

@@goukigod oooh okay👌 Thanks for that/

@@shinejnn2 shp 9500

Open back headphones, hands down.

No worries!

What earphones you thinking I am in the market too I play pubg on pc ibam thinking the qc20 but I don't know

If you don't care about wires then that will deliver the best sound and mic quality for sure.

You watch crin eh?

Going with the shure anoic 4

So a common misconception is that headsets provide surround sound, but there are actually very few that do this without using additional software. Most headsets are stereo just like a pair of headphones. Examples of headsets that have surround sound/3D audio built in are the Astro A50 and JBL Quantum 910. Almost all headsets and headphones can be used with 3D audio software like the PS5's 3D audio.

​@@goukigod🙏🏼 right now im looking for a good headphone with exceptional sound quality i love deeper sounds paired with high for music and id like to mix with gaming thans my first point for gaming what im going to use it for i dont care abbout microphones or anything fancy besides superior sound quality in music and for gaming actually all i care abbout is hearing footsteps in cod

The type of headphone you need will depend on how much you want to spend and if the space where you game is quiet.

​@@goukigodmy budget is nothing more than a 1000euro but id be happy with 500 headphones only if the more money really can convince me its way better the area depends sometimes quiet sometimes a little louder because of ventilator or airco

So for your first pair of headphones, I would recommend not going overboard. The reason is, that when you start spending audiophile money on headphones, you may not immediately notice a big difference between them and something like a wireless Sony headphone or gaming headset. Spending more tends to have diminishing returns and if you don't have much experience with this kind of equipment you probably won't be able to tell much difference between a $500 and $1000 headphone when starting out. I think the Sennheiser HD 650 is a good place to start without spending too much. They are an open back design with good bass and detail making them suitable for gaming and music. Open back headphones will give you the most 3D like experience without using some kind of virtual surround sound software.

why tf did u comment that

@@_epic. People giving false information. It is just confusing to me.

@@ImNotFlutters There is no false information
