wow the gsp mic sounds like its straight from a 2010 mw2 lobby
azhlvy Sounded awful. I was amazed...
At that point it’s worth buying a cheap cardioid mic
Honestly I'd rather buy a $20 Red Dragon headset than that shit. For $200 I'd be fuckin' fumin' if that's what I got. Hell, a pair of ear buds with the stereotypical Blue Snowball mic would be a better set-up.
Idk why u guys expect for a wireless headset to have a good mic.. Rofl
@@benshiro5008 the 2nd set of headphones had a pretty good mic, and they were wireless..
I didn't expect to be rick rolled in a headset review..
i know right? I was like "bruuuuh"
I aint gonna be rick rolled, imma head out.
where?
Me neither but there it was
Whats rickroll?
9:14 why is a matchstick testing out headphones, NGL he seems kinda chill doe
Bruh
That got me so damn bad
It's 11 pm were I live and u got me waking up my neighbor's lmfao
Omfg 🤷♂️
He do be vibing doe
Dammmmmmmn
Unbelievable how a great brand of headset like Sennheiser has such a terrible microphone.
VuHien2011 they make headphones not mics
They make mics too. But he obviously clipped the signal heavily by having the gain too high in the video. Have to say though, that the sound wasn't impressive anyway.
@@notwetsyrup9936 I know that hence, my remark. I should have said headphone, not headset. But when you know they have the engineering expertise to make among the best headphones, you would think they know how to make a semi decent microphone or even buy it from another manufacturer.
prolly cause it's wireless
@@Shad0wolf0 I have hard time to believe that because it is wireless, it can't be better than that. I have a Sony bluetooth headphone and the sound is quite decent. There is plenty of bandwidth in a bluetooth connection to move enough data for a quality sound. And it works both ways. If there is enough bandwidth to generate a sound, there must be enough bandwidth to record a sound.
4:33 "This is the wired varient, there is also a wired version" Oops.
Noticed it too

Heard that 2
I died
So interesting
MMX 300s changed my life no lie, after a decade of gaming USB headsets. Oof. Unreal. Highly recommend!
Beyerdynamic MMX 300 blows the other two out of the water in every respect. It's on a whole new level. Use Dekoni synthetic leather pads on them for complete eargasm. Sennheiser's mic is probably the worst mic ever made. Not sure why anyone would use wireless for gaming when gaming is stationary and wired is superior in every way. Also Audio Technika, as good sounding as their products are, is notorious for making some of the most uncomfortable headphones. I've tried a couple in the past and couldn't last even 5 minutes.
"Those of you with an absolute unit for a nogen" this killed me dude 😂
I own the Beyerdynamic mmx 300 G2 and they are awesome for gaming with friends, nice sound and they fit very comfortably for 3 hour gaming sessions (when im lucky). I don't really have time anymore as an adult to game for more than that at one time but I think they would be awesome for longer sessions too! the mic is clear and the audio delivered during gaming is more than sufficient and able to give me good awareness of my surroundings!
I also own a pair of Beyerdynamic DT1990 Pro's that I use for gaming alone and listening to music. I run them with an audioengine D1 headphone amp and the sound is INCREDIBLE! This was a relatively pricey setup and I have cables but with decent wire management It's not that big of a concern!
you didn't just rickroll us in 2019..
memes are like fashion they eventually come back in style
@@moonmessiah9368 you worded it beautifully
Yes he just did!
Moon Messiah not at fucking all
pat dereck Alright calm down meme elitist.
9:13 made me laugh so hard. Nothing special his head just looked like a hairy toe
Bruh😂😂
@@MadMarco he looks like a tech deck character
HAHAHAHAH
(I only laughed after reading your comment and imagining it)
WOW. The beyerdynamic MMX 300 is BY FAR the best. Didn‘t expect such a clear and unrivaled victory.
Every time you put on a headset, you remind me of a pilot. You took it back with that song, showing your age lol
I'm personally a total Beyerdynamic fan! Got the white Custom One Pro Plus, spent 2 months hunting it down since it's not commercially available in my country. So comfortable so I bet their gaming headset is just as good! Completely worth it but sadly underrated in the mainstream market.
I was VERY tempted to buy the GSP 370s as my first wireless pair of headsets, but couldn't find reviews. Instead I went for the arctis pro + gamedac for £140 brand new. Only regret is the short usb cable, though they sound amazing. Much better than my cloud 2s which I loved.
Yeah that Sennheiser mic definitely makes me cry
Your video helped me find an excellent wireless headset in the ATH-G1WL. Just a little tip I got from Audio Technica about the signal issues on the G1WL. Use usb2.0 instead of 3.0 even if you have to use an extension cable for the receiver. I noticed a tremendous range improvement and didn't experience any signal drops compared to using the receiver in a usb3.0 port.
MVP comment right here. Thanks bud
omg! youre a life saver
Hey were the headphones worth it ? I went to check online reviews and alot said that after 2 months of using it the quality of the headphone deteriorate, did that happen to you too?
@@vaarax8993 Hey just saw your comment so not sure if you're still looking but no I have experienced zero issues with them. I've been running them since April of 2021 and they are still going strong. I did notice that if you run the sound at 100% on the actual headphone and then just adjust volume with your PC you actually get a significant improvement in performance. I specifically noticed that the sound of a Precision Airstrike in Warzone would sound like it was clipping the drivers when the volume on the headset was lower. Surprisingly, when I crank the level to 100% on the headset then just drop the volume of my PC the airstrike no longer peaks the drivers and it can be even louder!
I use them for several hours a day primarily for making phone calls and music but they are also excellent for gaming. I have a friend who uses a goxlr with a shure mic attached and yes that mic sounds better but the one on this headset is very close to it (just a little less bass).
Absolutley love them. I've helped several friends get the wired or wireless versions and they all agree that it is fantastic. Excellent imaging and soundstage (for a closed back at least). I recently ordered a PC38x from Drop as I wanted an open back for certain scenarios (being able to hear my kids in the other room if needed and sidetone is just too noisy overall). Still waiting on that one to arrive but I'm very curious to see how it compares.
@@AJRohrer I wasnt looking for one anymore, but i'll buy these when my headset break, thank you !
I've loved my MMX300s for the past year, and wondered if I made the right choice. This confirms it. Thanks Frank!
Are they comfortable when being worn for a long time?
@@Finn-wm2no I have zero issues with comfort wearing these headphone, no matter how long I have them on. It's been another year since I left this comment, and I can say with 100% confidence that I'd recommend these to anyone. :)
@@plattnum89 Okay, thank you very much :)
@@Finn-wm2no I have them too, and all I can say about comfort is that I don't really enjoy them from this side but it does compensate with the sound/mic quality. It really kicks ass. Change the pads if they're not your type and just go get'em
Do you have an amp or anything with your headset? Or just straight plug and play?
8:57 gamer rage
Fun fact: recently met an older gentlemen (closing in on 80 years of age) who used to be an audio engineer when he was still working and he nonchalantly mentioned studying under Professor Sennheiser in his youth. At first I thought I didn't hear it right or there was no connection but after my curiousity took over and I googled it, THE Fritz Sennheiser used to teach in Hanover, where I currently live.
The video quality of his videos are staggering.
@@motorizedpedestrian lmao
i was watching at 360p thought it was 1080p
Subscribed once I heard that beautiful singing... appreciate the Rick Roll
Akg k7xx, mod mic, and a topping nx4 amp/dac.
I have beyerdynamic dt990 80 ohms with a wireless modmic
“This is the wired version and there is a wireless variant as well.” Sounds great.
He said wired to both of them actually
The Sennheiser mic sounds like some 2 dollar cheap wallmart mic. The other mics sound a lot better tho
I've heard mics from $18 headsets that sound better
Because its fucking wireless..
brah agreed, but it has the longest battery time so they have to sacrifice the quality. However, I think gpx has really great microphone but their audio quality just suck so bad I bought and returned.
@@benshiro5008 There are a bunch fo wireless ones that sound good
@@carsonlamphear5352 I hate wireless, its inconvenient, stuff like that always disconnects, and sound quality isn't as good due it being Bluetooth and not direct sound from the cable
MMX 300s with the Dekoni Choice ear pads and a DAC mixer completely changed the way I thought about audio and gaming.
what dac?
imagine paying the price of a console for a shit quality mic and sub par headphone
How is it "sub par headphone" they sound better then any headphones considered as gaming headphones
Headphones are alot better than gaming headsets lol, they're meant to buy a separate mic with them
I just picked up the MMX 300 Gen2 and the Sennheiser GSX 1000 Amp/DAC. So looking forward to the great audio.
How have they been so far?
Second previous comment lol, how have they been??
4:34 these are the wired (meant wireless) variant, but there's also a wired version as well.
Got an mmx 300 gen 2. Bought my first mmx many years ago and im forever a devoted Beyerdynamics fan
vlp3r If you haven’t already, consider investing in a solid DAC or AMP/DAC combo to unlock the full potential of the mmx 300’s. Also grab some memory foam leather earcups for even better sound quality 👍
@@KraftyDubstep Any suggestions for DAC or AMP/DAC? Because I have the MMX 3 G2 600 Ohm and I had bought a new soundcard. And it improved dramatic from that alone.
Exactly what I needed as Christmas is coming up! I don't like the 'gaming' headset look. Thanks Frank! Keep it up!
Neither have I. Thats why I initially was considering the MH752 and the Arctis lineup. Glad to see this collection, but honestly only the Beyerdynamic one looked not gamery.
@@Memann208 the Audio Technica ones don't loke gamery either, look like the m50x with a blue D-Brand ring skin
208Tsuna I've had an Arctics 3 for a little under 2 years and love them! Looking to upgrade but they are amazing and work like from day 1
Good headphones are truly worth it. If you dont care about the mic or the wireless aspect you can go even harder on the "audiophile" aspect and get some truly awesome sounding headphones.
Personally I got sennheiser hd660s and god they're unbelievable
Please save me from the people recommending fucking ASTROs in the comments.
"Audiophile" and" "wireless" dont go together if you really want to talk about audiophile grade headsets those ain't it because of the low impedance and the wireless thingy. I know it ain't such a thing on the market right now but still props to you to try educating people to good sound quality in general.
Yeah agreed.
Couldnt of said it better myself.
I would disagree. There are some very high quality wireless headphones that can easily punch with the big boys. The Sennheiser's and the Audiotechica's implementations, I would agree, aren't good. However, Beyerdynamic actually kept with their quality, and made it with a mic. If I ever bought a headset, that's probably what I would buy..... Other then the Audizie Mobius. To be frank, a standalone mic through an XLR interface still is king of the roost in my book, and I would sill just look into a modmic before a headset. Also, really? Impedance is NOT what makes a headphone "audiophile"
@@jordanhart9708 I agree about having an external is the better solution, the point I tried to make with the impedance is that in most cases headphones with high impedance need more power and thus can carry more details of a sound although there are some exceptions and people who have those kind of cans do own some kind of amp/dac. All of it combined leaning to an audiophile listening experience.
@@maelroudaut5281 Sadly I can not describe how much I want to beat my skull into a wall right now...
Yes, most audiophiles do use dedicated amp/dacs. Yes, high impedance headphones CAN produce more detail then lower impedance headphones when fed enough power.... This does NOT, however, mean that in order to obtain this "audiophile listening experience" that you must have an external amp/dac (cause even your on board audio has them!!!) and high impedance headphones. Lower impedance headphones (aka MOST EVERY HEADPHONE YOU WILL FIND EVER) can still benefit from a stronger amp then what you have on board, a better DAC, and high quality source files. There are also plenty of IEMs that are even lower impedance that are cheap (comparatively speaking) that many audiophiles LOVE (Tin T2, KZ ZS10 Pro, and BLON B3 all come to mind in the $40-50 price range).
When I talked about an EXTERNAL solution, I ment an external audio interface for your microphone, eg. Behringer U-Phoria UM2, mixer boards, and the Scarlett from Focusrite along with a dedicated microphone.
You are so right about that! I was circling a bit between the Razer Blackshark / HyperX Cloud II-III / SteelSeries Arctis Nova / Fnatic React / etc... until I dove into "Audiophile" brands... Finally went with the Sennheiser G4me One and it was the bloody best decision I could ever make :D
thank you for the excellent microfon test. thats was amazing, it told me excactly what I needed to know.
Calmest intro for this channel, I would really like you to be this calm nowadays.
12:59 It was at this moment that I knew, he RICKROLLED us.
the mmx300 is easily the best gaming headset on the market.
Thank you for making this. So many people really need to learn about this. Way too many people are paying for garbage.
I'm one of them! I just tested out the GSP 600 and it is so much worse audio wise compared to my DT 770 PRO. I didn't expect the difference to be so large. Although I do think this headset is tuned for video game audio somehow - but still, it has distortion even. And the mic quality did not blow my socks off for the price. I think I'm probably better just grabbing an audio interface and a professional mic. The MMX 300 sounded nice but it's pretty pricey
@@com3se3m3 they are for gaming, the audio is made more bassy to hear steps and shooting and any other noise cues the game you're playing does, which is why they suck for music, videos, and anything like that, they are gaming, aka you want the best advantage in any way not necessarily the best sound for anything else.
If you look up these products online they are ALL marketed as gaming headsets...
Phillips SHP9500 with a Vmoda boom pro is the best audiophile headset combo that comes put under 100$
yes yes yes
yes.
1000 yesses
Yes! And if you got the cash, Phillips fidelio x2
I also have the beyerdynamic, I can not report any problems with it (But I use it on a Steinberg UR22Mk2, maybe that is why. Just a tip for everyone that dose not want to have this muffled sound, take the pop filter away. You can place the microfone further away, and the mids and hights are more present. The pop sound where neo problem for me
Totally agreed, I use my V-Moda for gaming
I especially appreciate the microphone tests. Thanks.
I’ve had the MMX 300 for over a year and they are by far the best I’ve heard. And one of the best mics. I would recommend them if someone had the money to spend.
Tyler Jasper pc or console gaming ?
8:54 “oh wtf”
12:40 "Drops the mic"
Bought the MMX300's a couple of months back, honestly the best purchase I have ever made
i hear clicking noises when ever i hear something loud with them ...
@@AXELVISSERS thats..weird..do you use a dac of any kind or just straight into your pc?
@@vedomedo i have a soundblasterx g6 dac that goes into my ps4
@@vedomedo any thoughts?
@@AXELVISSERS honestly no idea.. Check if the cable is properly seated/connected into the headset, read that some people had issues with that
The title confused me so much but after I watched another amazing video I understood why the title was that
One of the best headset reviews ever, thanks Frank P! I just got the beyerdynamic custom game, watched this to give me at least some idea what I'm in for since they should be similar to the 770s as well.
I have the MMX 300. It's just so good. Like compared to Logitech, Corsair etc. it plays in another world.
Kinda like they are twice the price
I recently bought the ATH-AD700X from audio technica and I am IN LOVE with them!
“For anyone with an absolute unit of a noggin” 🤣🤣🤣
I felt like he was talking directly to me when he dropped that line
getting the Beyerdynamics, a hipdac, and some moondrop IEM's for my birthday. Gonna be a lot of media goin on.
And still, there is other options. For instance Beyerdynamic Custom studio (80ohm)+game gear (mic-on-a-cable), also from Beyer. Then you have an awesome gaming headset, studio headphones, and music headphones, all in one package. Sets you back around 200$ in total.
Other flexible options exist, like paring your favorite headphones with v-moda boompro mic or Antlion ModMic
hey bro! I have to say thank you!! I did buy like 3 headsets and I did return all of them, because I just could not stand the bad sound (Elo 7.1 air, Syn air pro, Arctis 7) and I really thought " damn I really have to go back to wired ones". Then I saw your review and the 370 really catched my attetion. I got them 2 days ago and boy do I love them! I am working with music and I just know what I want soundwise and I also know that wireless costs audio quality. But the GSP 370 really do deliver what I was looking for in a wireless headset! I really only got them because of you review and I am really glad I did! Gaming is now on a whole new level!
Thank you Frank
Glad to see your opening things up for us audiophiles out there. I hope that you could every once in awhile dedicate a show to more audiophile headsets, speakers etc. There's a ton of high quality gear just ready to be checked out. It would really be nice to see for a lot of us. Great video. Loved the Rick Astley soliloquy. Nicely done. :)
This guy is just a snob, not an audiophile. he used voicemeeter to tamper with the microphone results.
basically every actual hardware channel has had nothing but praise for Sennheiser's gaming line in both microphone and sound quality as well as build quality. they're also only $100. there's not a single pair of wireless headphones and a microphone you can buy with better audio quality you can buy at that price. nevermind the 370s are only so much because they're wireless, the wired version is $50 and goes on sale for like $30 all the time
I actually won't buy headphones that don't have exposed wires anymore. I've had different styles of hidden wire headphones but the result is always the same - the right side stops working within 6 months. The hidden wires put too much stress on the connections for the left to right connection cable. This is especially true of you extend and retract the headband size. The advantage to exposed wires is that the wire loop prevent most of the motion from getting to the headband part of the cable. The bend (or in the Audio Technica's case loop) allows movement without pinching anything. (Oh, and if you are a pro musician or studio guy that extra wire means you can splice it if some idiot cuts or breaks it...)
I use Philips Fidelio X2's with an Antlion mic. Love them.
Same combo here. Fidelio X2's are excellent.
@@ckeoni same dude
Why a Antlion mic and not V-Moda Boom Pro which would plug directly in? Only asking because I’ve tried both and like the mod mic sound better but hate having the additional wire
@@clawson32104 sorry not same haha.
I use the v moda
Not anymore, now I have a usb mic
@@clawson32104 Honestly, I didn't even know about the V-Moda mic until you mentioned it :) You're right though. The extra wire kinda sucks. I mesh wrapped the headset and mic wires together, so it's not too bad now.
really enjoyed the actual mic and keyboard test. great review.
"The Best Gaming Headsets aren't "Gaming" Headsets"
100% true.
Any recommendations?
@@leighcarolan6429 get a nice pair of headphones and get a usb mod mic. a mod mic + something like the phillips shp9500 is great
AKG K712 Pro, needs an amplifier though (+100 EUR)
@@kingjack6053 ah I ended up going with the Phillips Fidelio x2hrs after some great thought and have had them for a couple months. And I have to say I'm disappointed.. For headphones that have reached as high as £300 in its lifespan I expected so much more. Shit they sound less punchy and more airy/tinny than even my wireless Sony wh-ch700n! Like how is that possible 😭
@@leighcarolan6429 i’ve never listened to the fidelio, but i have a pair of shp9500s so i assume they’re similar. I agree they sound airy…and that’s by design because they’re open back. If you’ve only had bassy, closed-back cans before it’s a very different kind of sound.
What makes them great is the positional/spatial audio and imaging. You can really pinpoint where sounds are coming from, and the response is flat, so you’re hearing the audio as it was designed. if you’re looking for a lot more bass punch like a pair of Beats, you’ll be disappointed…but you would have known that already from reading reviews, etc
A linus tech tips ad, for the honey extension, inside of the randomfrankp video? That felt awkward
Meanwhile, the gaming companies that make headsets still end up on "best headsets for gaming" lists all the time. But at the end of the day, all these gaming headsets have shitty microphones. i've gone through way too many headsets that i just completely stop using because of a shit microphones... while the headphones themselves are actually quite decent. I bought a hyper x cloud, microphone is buzzing in discord. I bought a Sound blaster, mic too quiet and no one can hear me over anyone else... the list goes on.
Save yourself the trouble and buy proper hi-fi headphones with a detachable cable, pick up a vmoda boom mic and you'll have the best gaming headset on the market.
What headphones do you recommend? My budget is 200-300 quid
@@scanjet1000 If you like open back headphones (Which most gaming headsets tend to be) The Philips X2HR are quite good and under your budget.

Rightttttt. You used every single term in the book there buddy.
The MMX 300 is the BEST headset I've ever owned period. Ive had every high-end headset you could imagine and these are just unmatched in my opinion.
Hey!! I was scrolling through the comments and stumbled upon urs! I bought the Beyerdynamic MMX300 Gen 2 just recently since it was on 50% discount and thought if it could still compete with today's fierce competition. I mean 50% off is such a mega deal to pass on so I was lucky enough to grab the last set. What or which headsets would u recommend? I play games occasionally.
Totally agree. My gaming headphones are my Fostex T50RP
Did you mod them??
@@VFHost Not yet. Before purchasing the T50RP I read in depth all about the mod scene and everyone just went "Soon as you buy them you gotta mod them" , then again, I want to use them stock for a while, so I can notice and appreciate the differences when I mod. I just received replacement earpads for it couple of days back, but I think I'm gonna go the Mayflower Mod way.
The mmx300s has one of the best headset mics I've ever heard! Blows the overhyped bluesteels out of the water

Why didn't I think of that?! I was actually looking at this video because my A50s from 2012 battery isn't lasting more then 2 hours but I love the headset with a passion
Frank, you are my favorite tech you tubers. Your production quality is unrivaled.
@12:01 I can definitely confirm that noise gate while listening with my Arctis 7 SteelSeries headset but while listening with my Logitech G733 headset, it isn't as noticeable.
Thank you for covering this topic. Too many people still buy these garbage 'gaming headsets' with useless features like surround sound and RGB, when a good regular headphone will outdo those within no-time.
I'm using a Naenka Lite Pro headset recently. It uses a Qualcomm 3040 chip and 5.2 Bluetooth. It can last for seven hours in a single battery life. Every point is worth showing off. Not only that, it only costs 59.9 US dollars. Said it is a very cost-effective headset.
I have the Beyerdynamic MMX300 G2, and I love it.
The difference in soundquality to my old headset is really huge, listen to music sounds so much better and also the mic is a improvement to my old one.

@@driftwize Yes, I still have them and would recommend them. I bought mine in the end of 2017.

Was looking for this one lol.
I saw the ATH G1's (Wired) for sale at 199NZD (130USD) and I regret not buying them.
you should try the Audeze Mobius headset... high-fi, wireless or wired, planar magnetic
better just audeze lcd1 and zm-mic1
Didnt know they had one! Although I bet it's not that much better than the gsp 670? These companies just need to go all in with no compromise and make like a $1000 headset that sounds as good as their headphones. I'd buy that
Thanks yeeeees, someone who knows ... i'm on an Audeze lcd2c right now but thinking about buying the mobius for my girlfriend :) or lcd 1 and mic
Hyperx cloud orbit?
they aight
Now try the $900 Audeze LCD-GX gaming headset. I think that's the most expensive set marketed as a "gaming headset".
Best headset's vids i have seen in a while.....
Cool vids bro keep up
I didn't watch it and I'm just going by the title but my CM MH752 would like to have a word with you. I'ld agree with the statement "Forget traditional gaming headsets and invest in an audiophile pair of cans, they make headsets too!" like 3 months ago.
MH751/2 are rebranded/ slightly modified good headphones. That's cheating.
@@rynne7153 Still a gaming headset. Also considering the amount of modification you can make for a headphone, I'ld not call adding a detachable mic, increasing the cavity behind the driver and adding a great usb dac/amp "slightly" modified. Literally all I need was added in a single product and I managed to get it for cheap. So far the best product I bought.
@@thesignof33 I was just messing around lmao. coolermaster did great with the pair. Will be the "gaming" headset I recommend to people until something with even more value comes up.
I started cracking up when u were singing 😂
It's not fair to compare wireless headsets with wired because all wireless headsets are severely limited by the bandwidth resulting in much worse mic sound :)
“Absolute unit of a noggin” LMFAOOOO 8:07
yes, i am absolute
Got a pair of sennheiser 559s and a mod mic about 8 years ago never went back to a " gaming headset"
that rick part had me dead, best youtuber out here lmfaooo, i bought the audio technica thanks for the great review :)
I have them all three of them, and I like them all. But my favorite one is the MMX 300 2nd gen
Just remember though, the beyers are wired which is an advantage in SQ. That makes the ATH the most impressive imo
Mic on the GSP sounds like complete ass.
Thanks for this video. I think I'll stick with a wired set.
bro just rickrolled a million of people from nowhere
Please do gaming open back headphones
Would appreciate 😉🙏
Just get the ath adg1x and never look back
@@kwicksandz sorry but i'v been looking for it and can't find it are you sure about the name ?
@@kwicksandz oh nop just fond it but do you have any cheaper options ?
@@samuelpiette9787 the Phillips shp9500s and vmoda boompro for a mic
@@kwicksandz what about sennheiser game one? which one more detailed and clear sound quality?
I have the MMX300 it has such a perfect sound quality
Ted its wired right?
@@MrWanted000 what do you mean?
Ted i mean there is no wireless version of the headset
@@MrWanted000 yes it is wired
@@MrWanted000 but wired are mist of the time better than wireless
As an addition, I would like to recommend Philips Fidelio X2 too. Wide soundstage and amazing imagining. A very immersive headphone. You need to buy seperate mics though since it does not come with one.
I’m deciding between the Fidelio X2 and the Philips SHP9600 which do you think I should get?
@@SillylNico Hi, if you have more to spend get the fidelio. The soundstage is very massive and fidelios sounds really aggressive as well so its good for games or movies. Fidelio X2 is worth the additional cost. However, If you insist on getting a cheaper ones I suggest SHP9500 instead of SHP9600.
@@SillylNico Getting an amplifier+dac combo would be even better. Even though Fidelio has relatively low impedance, 32 ohms, an amplifier+dac combo would drive the headphone to its true potential. Open backs headphone usually require more power than the specification since the sound leaks out. But the sound being able to leak out is what makes open back headphones have massive soundstage. The amp+dac combo that I am using right now is Fiio K5 Pro and I definitely recommend it.
thank you for the mic test!
So the one with lighting doesn’t look the most like a gaming headset?
None of them have lighting?
