Razer & HyperX's Budget $50 Headphones - Which Is Best? 

tysm

thanks for this.

Is Kraken X effective with PlayStation 4 ?

@@Thebadermanhimself yes

can i use it on my mobil phone?

@White Wolf its actually the opposite. I haven't gotten a haircut in over a year so I use the beanie to keep it from being a mess

It's affect, not effect. Get it right.

@@kennymccormick8295 Oh no its the grammer police here💀

@@kennymccormick8295this isn’t AP literature bro it’s a comment section. you got the point of his comment there was no need for your comment.

sounds like user error. Maybe youre taking them off weird, try 2 hands.

thx for this so much i didnt know about that and feared that I wouldn't like the ear pads with how thin they are but this gave me assurity and I'm definitely going with the hyperx stinger now

How much is it now?

I GOT THE EXACT SAME ISSUE

Same, I got the HyperX Stinger back in 2016 and last night it finally stopped working with the same issue - no sound from the left speaker. I don't use headphones too often, mainly when playing co-op but I really can't fault these. Now I'm looking at a replacement but am seriously thinking of just getting another Stinger.

Don't invest in a sound card, just get an amp and DAC

@@TaxEvasionUS sup Death I have an amp that came with the Hyper X Stinger.. a USB 7.1 surround but found it wasn't much louder than the 3.5mm audio jack on my MB.

@@TheColemancreek you mean your sound card can emulate 5.1 surround sound? Without software? Seriously?

@@TheColemancreek Hi Sir what do you mean by MB

@@z4gee12 it stands for motherboard I think

What u mean by sounds better ? The mic ?

this.

my mic literally stopped working after 6 months

Same

Good to hear just bought the hyper x

Bro, I'm here watching this video for that exact reason. Did the 3.5mm socket rip right off the board?

@@XenFPV lol never got a response

should i buy it?

Bruh same here they work perfectly

Is it support 7.1 audio 🤔

@@kaush8491 yes

@@TaLibanQ❤ I'll order this soon

@@kaush8491 hope you like it

Bro I can’t find it anymore😭

I wan to ask you. In 6:22, there's like a little hole that i consider is the read foam. Is it the same as you or the earcups is easy to peeling off?

@@agssub3986 I don't have that. However, I've not had a problem with any peeling.

warframe sound design is really nice that + good headphones is nice

My Stingers were great for a while, but the leatherette is an absolute deal breaker. Flaking and just gross. Also I remember them being a little tight.

how loud is it and how is the sound quality?

@@enlgtnd it can get pretty damn loud and sound quality is awesome. I use it for warzone and hear footsteps a mile away

@@Communistgunmc do people hear you're muting yourself? Like that little click, is that audible to others?

@@arisoda I honestly don’t know, no one has complained about it or even made a comment about it and I’ve muted myself plenty of times in front of my buddies. I’m gonna assume no because it always takes them a while to figure out that I might be muted

@@Communistgunmc thanks appreciate it

I wan to ask you. In 6:22, there's like a little hole that i consider is the read foam. Is it the same as you or the earcups is easy to peeling off?

@@agssub3986I don't have that and it did start having peeling problems on the earcups but that's with almost daily use after all this time so il excuse it. I haven't had any sound quality, mic or technical problems yet after using it for this long either

Bought mine a couple of months ago.

Does the swivel mic still working?

@@rubinkelsun yes...was playing warzone while using it right now

Thanks for the info

@@rubinkelsun sure 😊

It really depends on how you care for them. I've had mine for a couple years and I'm pretty rough with my set. I've tried other hyper x headsets but I LOVE the stingers mute. I don't have time to find a button before my whole party here's my kids crying, tattling etc. I had a kraken set but it ended up stripping out my audio port so I've stayed away since.

Same with the Hyperx,mine broke after I pushed the mic to far back and now every time it moves up and down it makes a loud static noise

it still depends on how you use it. i have a much cheaper off branded headset, still intact even after a year. It depends on how a user will take care of their headsets.

Or just don’t break ur mic

@@y.b1227 nah u cap because i tried and this didn't happen

How are stinger quality cause I also returned my kraken x

Is it still working good?

my kraken is still going strong after 14 months@@1Nothing1

Which one sounds better with music?

Thanks?

Thanks to thank you ))))))

Your Later is Now 😹

Thanks bro!

Tournament edition*

@@inferno6970 thats literally how i spelled it

@@notawamen2311 no it’s probably a tournament edition that’s why it probably didn’t last

@@inferno6970 With razer’s reputation it should last years.

Why not utilize warranty?

Thanks for making me confirm my decision because I needed one and as an inexperienced person I was confused

It isn't supposed to you buy it separately if you need it for your pc

But it does have a y splitter for audio and micro phone jacks for pc

Yep. Kraken X build quality is really down the drain. Without any metal to withstand the bending and the flimsy plastic it cracked after 3 months. I should have waited and seen the reports all over the internet... Razer Kraking surely.

Well I've had the Clouds and Stinger and both were fine with directional audio.

My mic broke in 6 months

Same

Lol same

mine broke within 2 week and rebuy a new one that one lasted 2 month so i head to stinger and it last longer than my last relationship

So hyper x?

Same thing happened to my Kraken X. Found a thread on reddit of people who experienced the same thing on their headphones. I think it's a major flaw on Kraken X.

Iv had my hyperX for 4 years no problems couple scratches had to change the ear pads and headpad after 2 years tho

Try In Ear Monitors

How is it holding up in therms of build quality?

@@pedrovisgueira mine cracked on the top left corner after 7 months. It wasn’t sudden but i started noticing that the plastic wasnt able to keep up with all of the bending when putting on the headset and such

@@ramonguzman3371 oof my hyperX is still fine after 2 years no cracks but there are scratches bc its plastic but its still the same as the day i bought it

Los HyperX

Any iems youd reccomend as an alternative to one of these headsets in particular? You have my curiosity

@@budgetglados8761 x2

@@budgetglados8761 first off the IEM rabbit hole is deep, just research them because any budget range $30 - $50 will blow both these "gaming" headsets away. In most headphones and most earbuds there is only one driver (speaker) to do all the work, it has to play lows, highs, mids and vocals all through the one speaker per ear and that's why a lot of it sounds muddy but most people are ok with that because they see it says gaming on the box. Most people that use gaming headsets and earbuds have basically trained their ears to like normal audio but once you try IEMs you'll immediately be able to tell the difference. And you will also wonder why most people don't use them. A lot of musicians use them, if you look at video of any fairly popular band, singer musical act you'll see the IEMs wrapped around their ears but they work 100% well with any audio source including phones and gaming. You'll probably be sensitive to hifi audio at first and may get headaches because you're hearing hifi audio for the first time for any length of time but that may or may not be a problem for you. Then you'll go further down the rabbit hole and start learning about terms like V shaped and U shaped, soundstages and bright and warm sounds. Just Google them, watch videos about IEMs and you'll find some that are perfect for the sensitivity you may or may not have. Sorry long reply

@@budgetglados8761 but to answer your question at the budget range a fairly entry level brand is KZ just Google it or RU-vid it KZ In Ear Monitors and listen to what people say about them but this is only budget level, they get crazy expensive but for most people they'll be ok if you're not a audiophile.

@@VOAxInsanity funnily enough I own 2 pairs of iems from kz

what did you upgrade to? How are you finding your upgrade?

Even the budget In Ear Monitors blow 99% of "gaming" earbuds and headphones away

@@hkhatri12 I have the SteelSeries Arctis 7x now. I got really lucky back in November that a nearby Walmart had them - I’m not sure if they’re easier to find now. I absolutely love them. Very comfortable and great sound and mic quality, for $150. Honestly the only thing I don’t care for about them is that they take up a usb spot on the console for the wireless receiver. I have a PS4 slim which only has two USB ports, and one has my hard drive in it. Which means I can’t charge a controller while playing with headphones. If I play for long sessions, it’s something I have to plan ahead for to make sure everything is charged up and ready to go. I still have my Stinger as a backup. It’s not a junk headset by any means. It does the job and it DID the job well for me for 2.5 years, just has a shorter life span. I don’t regret the extra money spent on the Arctis one bit though, something I never thought I’d say as a more casual gamer.

@@messy8424 I work at a staples location in Canada, I believe we still sell them

@@hkhatri12 I forgot to mention my favorite feature of the 7X: the feedback from speaking through the mic. When you talk, it plays your voice through the headset so you can hear your own voice. It’s a small thing, but I constantly found myself taking off an earpiece on the Stinger when I was talking because I didn’t like not being able to hear my voice very well. It feels...constricting in a way for me. I didn’t even know the 7X had this feature until I put them on. I’m sure not everyone feels this way and it won’t matter for you. But I couldn’t recommend the 7X enough. I’ve only had them for maybe 5 months so I can’t speak to their life span, but so far I’m very happy.

No they're not they're bunch of crap no 7.1 no decent noise cancellation.... Redgear 7.1 is still legendary on what it comes for....

@@whimsabo you can think that

@@Communistgunmc it's the factz not my imo or thinkin cosmo comes in 17 bucks compared to this brrrrr

@@Communistgunmc are you still using them? How's the condition now? Sound quality and mic input quality does the mic provides noise cancellation it's not mentioned anywhere so if ya use prolly know....and is it good for discord dc is very important for gamers you must know so how's your review for mic input specially (discord)

@@whimsabo I get compliments all the time in warzone on my mic quality. The condition is excellent even though I can be rough with my headset during heated Warzone tournaments, there isn’t noise cancellation per say but I’ve never received a complaint about my buddies I play with hearing anything going on in the background and the sound quality is phenomenal I hear people’s footsteps from a mile away and hear the exact direction their coming from as well as heading quietly peeked doors. I don’t use discord so I don’t know how it would hold up on that I just use it for warzone, battlefield, and Doom. I’d rate the mic quality to be well above average considering the price but the best part is the audio quality.

same

Same

But it's not as loud as I want it

It absolutely is, if the sound itself is your only unit of measure. And the mic is nice as well. Unfortunately, the cheap plastic of the headband started cracking after about 3 weeks of use and it actually broke off after less than 2 months. So it maybe worth it to spend an extra buck and get something more durable.

@@MrCreativeEgo this, sound quality is good out of the box, but the budget range kraken series are flimsy Asf. Pay an extra 20-30 and get the Kraken Ultimate instead. Much more reliable and better durability

@@MrCreativeEgo that’s just you mine work and look good after 2 years

We’re you happy with your decision?

@@cordwoodenties5505 stinger is the best but i like the design lf kraken

Same, mine's broke after 3 months or less

And the winner is... In Ear Monitors Basically any pair will do
