I'm astounded at how bad the mic sounds. You'd think on such a high end product, they'd include a better microphone.
Sadly it's a gaming headset, the majority of the gaming brands don't care about audio quality at all, both for sound and microphone. But misinformed people will still buy it :/
@@youser3 yep
That's why I went with Sennheiser one of the best mics for a headset and sound isn't bad.
You said two things that don't fit together.. Razor and High end... Unless it is fixed to say "Razor is NOT High end"
It's wireless. Simply not enough bandwidth to fit the audio for the drivers and mic over BT.
Oh, it also reduces your sound quality while the mic is active for the same reason.
That's why you're better off using a wired headset for gaming or a separate mic like ModMic with whatever headphones you'd like.
Imagine using this headset while in vr.
I have a Valve Index and own these headphones, I took off the Index's speakers and plugged the Nari's in. I tried these in a few games like Pavlov and Boneworks and they were nauseating. For whatever reason the vibration gave me intense motion sickness

So at 30hz it's strong and weak haptic feed back lol
That's paying attention to details. I never even noticed that lol.
I bought these a few weeks ago and thehypersense is amazing with the right music. You have to listen to music that is built for bass like electronic and hip hop like linus is saying. If you are listening to anything that isn't designed for bass, you can turn the haptics off. Think of the haptics on the headphones as little subwoofers for your head, because that is what they are. Reminds me of this haptic subwoofer kit you could put in your attic above your theater room and it would shake the walls making the whole room bassy underneath emulating what a high wattage subwoofer would deliver except you wouldn't be able to even hear it outside the house, but a subwoofer you d hear it down the block.
Can you configure the haptic to turn on/off with games/applications you choose without having to open synapse each time?

If you were playing Skyrim set it to blue for more mana regen or green for stamina regen. Red doesn't increase hp regen just buffs damage with 2hand weapons.

This is old tech... and rather manipulative too.
There have been force-feedback headsets like this for the last 10-ish years at least. The first one I know of is the eDimensional FX Gaming Headset. A decent-ish start to my audiophile journey, but ultimately a lesson in how deceptive this sort of thing is.
As noted; in games this is actually kind of amazing. For movies and music - especially music - it quickly loses its appeal.
However if you really use it long enough you slowly start to realize what is really going on and it becomes more distraction than enhancement. The last headset I used with this feature was the ROCCAT KAVE 5.1 True Surround Sound Gaming Headset. While it was REAL surround sound, doing what VSS couldn't, it was tinny and weak audio that needed the force feedback to emulate bass. When you can only feel the bass and not hear it, things get awkward quickly.
Now here we have two headsets that have done what this does. One was $60 and the other was $100. This 'thing' is $150. It adds a niche feature to gaming at the cost of a good mic and an audiophile listening experience for cinema and music. Problem is a lot of PC gamers listen to things like podcasts, Netflix, TH-cam, music, etc. while playing games. Ultimately making this headset a niche of a niche gimmick.
Xitel Storm Platinum Force Feedback headphones back in 1999 were awesome as I used it on Unreal Tournament :)
I remember some skullcandy headphones, "Skullcrushers" or something like that. They were the same headphones-with-rumble product.
PlayStation "Pulse" headset also used vibration motors to amplify the bass.
Nice little review
I had the Roccat Kave. No I had 2 of them.
Soundwise they where actually quite good, with solid base. So I have no idea how you get that their audio was "weak".
Their construction however, the plastic broke TWICE and snapped my headset in 2 pieces, TWICE..
"Gaming headsets" are the fraud of the century. They may look cool and have your favorit streamers as sponsors but for sound they fall so far behind proper headsets. And the mic is a guarantee to suck. Just get studio headphones with a good third party mic.

So basically the same thing as skullcandy crushers except its a specified frequency range of bass not just bass overall
Those editors work is almost always underrated
Hey Linus! I would love to see you talk more about audio gear in a similar light as display tech. Similar to how you measure color accuracy and such on display monitors, speakers can be measured for accuracy across the audio spectrum as well. Specs posted by manufacturers are often misleading and not very useful for determining sound quality. The world would benefit from, at the very least, understanding what the specs really say. For example, when razor says the freq. response is 20hz-20khz, this is technically correct. But it doesn't account for the varying amplitudes across the freq. range. An episode on tech quicky or even a diy speaker build where you take and explain measurements SOUNDS like a great idea ;)
Trick is, most HiFi speakers aren't trying to be "reference", ie. put out the same signal as their input is. So in principle, measuring how well consumer-targeted speakers match the input signal is futile. Studio monitors, on the other hand, try to match the signal in the best way possible, but those aren't really aimed at normal consumers.
Aknowledging this fact is helpful, though, so I'm not against the TechQuickie.
Samuli Auno I agree with you that most of these products aren't going for a flat response, but it is still helpful to the consumer knowing if the product is boosting certain frequencies, and by how much.
There's plenty of reason to know the sound profile of different speakers, regardless of whether they are aiming to be "reference" or not. The simplest being so consumers can make informed decisions about buying speakers that fit their application.
Most of these companies just slap "DEEP BASS" on their packaging and call it a day. But how deep is the bass?? Does it come at the expense of the highs? If I'm looking for gaming headphones, are footsteps boosted? Gunshots? How much does this bass boost feature actually do?
Now of course the typical person may not even care. But I think LMG's audience are generally people looking to make informed purchases, and would be entertained by some geeky audio tech.
Cheers
There are dozens of quality channels dealing with audio. Pro Tip, though...nothing with Beats, Razer, et. al. will have truthful specs. Consumer brands are all essentially price-point products that in no way will approach accountable specs. And as far as bass is concerned, there is no skimping on the basic physics. You will not achieve a flat response from any typical untreated room, because bass frequencies will be destroyed by the modal/nodal interference and in most cases, the too small areas for those frequencies to develop. And once you've treated a good candidate room, you can't get a flat response south of 30-40 hz without large cone surfaces and WATTS. See Velodyne, Bag End, Genelec, and other infrasonic-quality subwoofer systems for the kind of systems recommended for achieving a particular decibel level.
My experience is in film design and music, and audio post. We need those systems in order to "know" what we're affixing to a product. And anyone in the business can tell you that even well equipped commercial theaters are a crapshoot. We don't even try to accommodate home installations beyond filtering impractical subsonic information, etc...frequencies which would at best not be reproduced at all in well-filtered systems, or at worst, would just eat amplification power and tear up drivers needlessly for no practical benefit. Most systems that CAN reproduce truly infrasonic content (20hz and below) are meticulously filtered, and most of those systems are one variant or another of a box which is tuned to roll off those frequencies, then brute-forced with sheer amplification power and DSP to bring them back up to "flat" in a controlled manner (the Velodyne/Bag End approach).
That would require expensive pink noise generators with perfectly attuned mics and speakers, which Linus could definitely afford. Lol.
Bruce Richardson
1) I can’t dispute that there are dozens of quality channels dealing with audio. However, it’s very unlikely those channels cover the same products as Linus. Even if they did, they won’t reach the same amount of viewers as Linus can.
2) As mentioned earlier, the goal with these types of headphones is rarely to achieve a flat response.
3) Yes it’s difficult to achieve subsonic frequencies. A lot of air needs to be moved. It’s a lot easier with headphones (but rarely done well) boosted or not. It’s still a good idea to post measurements.
4) I doubt most people at home are watching these videos in hopes of doing a professional install on their own. I’m simply pointing out that similar to how they do with display accuracy, it is interesting to know how cool/warm an audio product can be.
I’m sure you know much more about speakers than I do and everything you said was as far as I know correct. I’m simply pointing out a practical reason to point out a significant, measurable, spec that is often not listed by manufactures LMG covers

That are about $100 cheaper... and potentially better (maybe?). I have the wired Crushers and they feel so cheap. I am guessing the wireless aren't much better. Glad I won them, no way I would have dropped $100 on them.
The Mad Daddy the crusher wireless, are better, they have metal and everything, they’re just idk, just not worth it unless your love the haptic feedback in your music
@@TheMadMadDaddy for the price of them they are quite nice but I have the first generation model of them so the good majority of them are aluminum with very nice audio quality for when they released
1:09 - Got to love the RAZER logo on the ASUS ROG Monitor !! 😂😂
Flaviu are you dumb?
Annnnndddd? Are you saying RoG monitors can only have RoG wallpapers?
are you an idiot? with that logic my ASUS monitor must have ASUS wallpaper
Relax kids ... I just find that funny. You should go to bed now.
Fucking lol at that salt in the subcomments.
Watching this in 2022, I remember trying these and not being at all impressed. Fast forward to now where I'm using the Razer Kaira Pro, the technology has improved quite a lot.
I remember hating Razer when this video released. Fast forward to 2022 now, my entire setup is Razer because they really have streamlined everything. Kraken V3 Pro and it's amazing.
@@amdsy3d521 which razer should I buy today? Got a rtx 3090 turbo which turned out to be as loud as my vacuum cleaner. So I need to change my sennheisser gsp550 to a new headphones with good sound isolation
I have both and they don't sound all that different to me. The Kaira pro's have true bluetooth, USB C and are more comfortable and are lighter. But the battery life is horrendous. Four hrs top when using haptic. I personally prefer the Nari's sound slightly more than the Kaira Pro's. The haptic sound is a bit more "balanced" imo.
This is a well put together video. I loved the quick drop-in of the chart showing audience retention over time. I definitely paused on that graph to take a look, kinda surprised how low it drops after the first 20%. Top notch editing all around, well done!
Yeah well jokes on you because my 60$ hyperx cloud stingers have developed this feature after I dropped them on the floor and the left driver finished dying
edit: thx for 69 likes

noob i have the cloud alpha
@@luxxers you're obviously not an epic gamer bc otherwise you'd be rocking the revolvers (just my 2 cents after i blew the rest on a relatively cheap headset)
And make the 69 to 70 XD
a10 or stinger?
getting new headset
Sony had this years ago with their Pulse Wireless headset, I still have one.
Exaaaaaaaactly. I was scrolling looking for this. No way I would be the only one to know that this is not only not new but worse than previous iterations of it.
Typhoon also had a headset like this. Still use mine
Yes its similar but nari's "Vibrate" is more immersive/agressive than the pulse. i have both the old pulse and Nari.
was literally about to say this.
I love these things. That feeling when there's a explosion beside you and you feel the explosion. It is crazy.
0:10 Okay we see you Linus....

what's with that PC lagging so badly at 4:24 and 9:00? it was actually stuttering worse than when you used a bunch of SD cards as your SSD

Watching this with my new Nari Ultimate and feeling every bass rumbling on my head and totally LOVING IT! (just tried them first on my favorite game and it was a blast!) I am in love.
Mine are coming in today, are they durable?
Did the hypersense give you headaches or anything? I think it sounds cool but am unsure weather to get headphones with hypersense
You know that the headset is bad if it got a mic like that.
nah
Nah its a great headset. Mic could be better
yeah for a gaming headset you would think they'd have a way better mic. I got a cheap dollar store set of earbuds with a mic and they sounded almost as good as my Apple Earpods (the wired ones).
@@tonyhong20 Apple is another story :p
Not really. They only added a mic for consoles they expect if you're throwing $200 on a pair of headphones for your pc that you already have a dedicated mic with better SQ than any mic+headphone combo for $200.
Why on earth was he getting 30 fps in doom????
Imagine plugging this into a vive headset. Ultimate immersion lol
I have the oculus, but yeah, that would be cool!
I have the headset but no VR yet
now imagine it with a valve index and a haptic suit.
just a random educated human 🤤
plug it in? it’s wireless! Just like the vive can be with the head brick and computer card!
I love these headphones. You can adjust EVERYTHING. I like to set it to rumble when playing FPS games with explosions! I use them in VR and just turn the haptic off.
oh so you can lower it or turn the haptic feedback off?
Wowo. That mic is baaad. Even my g900 from logitech has a better boom mic..... below passable, and more like bad webcam level.
Even the kraken 7.1 v2 than i use is 18388283x better than this
The Razer mic is retractable, not a boom. Retractable mics have always been terrible in comparison to boom mics. It's a shame that Razer chose that mic, but they probably don't want to cannibalize their stand-alone mic.
Choosing a gaming headset is always about compromises though :/
@@SleepyFen Razers Kraken 7.1 V2 sounds far better than this, and it's also a retractable mic. It actually looks identical, so I'm not sure how the audio could possibly sound that bad on it.
What do you want? its wireless and you want it to discharge in like 4 hours?
@@mattin5850
er, the actual cans and especially the vibration units are by far the majority of the power consumption.

Linus' voice is shaking my head with these headphones.
Why am I watching this? I have Sennheisers
Me too.. And 3 other expensive pairs of headphones. I might have a problem.
@Henbush
Feel bad for you, the airpods looks so damn uncomfortable. Do they even stick inside your ear properly?
Which pair of sennheisers do you recommend for gaming?
@@Graklio Massdrop 58X ($150) dirt cheap for the quality you get it's comparable to $1000-2000 headphones
@@Graklio HD599 (cheaper) and HD650 (more expensive)
What is that frame rate on doom, doesn't look all that smooth.
yeah i know dropped 100fps from 130 to 30
Bro when I play battle field with those head phone I feel like I’m in the war. Every gunshot, explosion, plane crash, I hear it different. Feels and sounds like it actually happened next to you. Plus they stay cool.
So I own them and they have a lot of audio presets still enabled on the mic, the presets are supposed to help prevent the bass backfeeding into the mic.
With the haptics lowered and the audio presets set to vanilla, (no clarity modifiers) it sounds like a normal mic
Did home boy with the square patch on the back of his head get a cranial chip implant?
I was gonna ask the same thing... I hope it isn't just his "style"
lol
6:35
It’s probably just a drug test for something. They usually have to shave off a square patch from the back of your head.
lol i was wondering if any 1 seen that patch on the guyz head 2.
Why does that guy have a square shaved into his hair at 6:34?
For a hidden barcode?

Surgery maybe?

I had a set of headphones that had rumble packs in each cup about 13 years ago that were activated by low frequency audio, exactly the same principal as these headphones, they just weren't configurable. They also had lights on the side that were volume reactive, made lying about the fact that friends had just thrown a nade near me in CoD2 very difficult. They were pretty good until I broke the cable snagging it on my chair. Nothing exactly new Razer, but it's about what I expect from them anyway.
Agree, I also had rumble headphones Saitek GH20
@@149Stranger OMG THAT WAS THEM! Didn't have the blue though so must have been an older or similar model
I had a set of genius ones around 2008. Were decent for the price, but used aa batteries for the rumble and audio was of course wired

the thing is i love this headset and i like the haptics they improve bass heavy songs alot
You can make your own "chair rumbler" by simply buying a "bass shaker", hook it up to your sound, and then mount it onto the back of the chair. Works better if you run it through an amp with low pass filter so it only plays the low frequency sounds like the "booms" and "bangs" etc.
You can make a mini wrist mounted rumbler for cheap by buying a tiny Ac motor, and mounting that to your wrist with a wrist band or something.
