Very intriguing headphones from my homeland🇸🇪 Thanks Joe for a great review👍
Your reviews are so damn good. Thank you for the efforts!
Meanwhile i bought this Headset, thanks to your review, and its the best headset i ever had in this pricerange. I really didnt expect such a drastic difference at all, but it felt like cheating, as i could hear small things, like footsteps, or "crunch" when an enemy is walking nearby, even with covert sneakers on, or the rattling of his gun that gave them away. Absolutely incredible! I had the G Pro wired before but this is so much better for competitive gaming. I use the DAC without EQing. First day, it felt WAY too bass heavy and i tought id have to tune it a bit, but after two days i was used to the new sound and i dont even want to EQ anything. Its just plug and play, perfectly tuned out of the box, for my taste and COD.
Thank you very much, u really did a great job pointing the advantages of this headset out. Id never looked at this, as it isnt as popular as other brands in that price range, but its pretty sure the best buy i could had made for my use case, which is 100% competitive gaming.
Its also great for music, so nothing to worry about, only because its for eSports, doesnt mean it sounds bad for music. Casual mic is pretty good, but ofc a separate mic would always sound much better. But my friends immidiately mentioned how clear i sound with the casual mic.
@@yizistaken idk but knowing razer, i think so 😅
bro this headset better than g pro?
@@yizistakenyes, deffo. Had the gpro and replaced it with this. Much better
so what other headphones have you used, are they better than things like gpro x2 hyperx cloud 3
Best reviewer. Great job!
Dang man, you have my many thanks for including graph comparisons to the H6pro closed. I just got the h6 recently and while pretty damn impressed by the bass, the higher mids are unbearably painful to me. I've been trying to figure out if it's me or the headset with the problem, but I couldn't find any in-depth examinations of its sound profile until this video.
The H1 looks pretty good, but because of that lack of swivel, it wouldn't work for me. My ears must be slightly angled or something, I require some decent swivel for comfort.
Hi. Love ur channel. Which wired gaming headset you suggest around 100$ for fps + music? Neutral sound mby a little bit on bassy side is preferred. Im stuck between blackshark v2, alpha s and Steelseries nova 3 (and mby corsair 55-65)
Hi Joe thanks for another review I play on ps5 only I'm currently using the Nova pro wireless and the turtle beach stealth 700 gen Max 2 wireless I just realized I like them more they seem more immersive for any games and movies I was thinking about getting the audeze Maxwell do you think those sound better and do you think there too heavy what's your opinion thank you much
Joe, a comparison/conclusion video between Xtrfy H1 vs Epos H6pro vs Drop x Senn Pc38x, those seem to be the 3 heavy hitters under $200
I also loved the headsets for their content and price, you could use the vacuum again and say if the headset muffles the vacuum's sound
Thank you @GadgetryTech, I love your reviews your videos are filled with knowledge thank you for sharing your videos are underrated.
Great review as always my man!!..
My Xbox Maxwells are on the way in ao safe to assume u have yours?
So xbox review/ EQ settings video coming soon?😊
Do you recommend the H6 pro open back or the H1 for single player games on consoles? Great review as always 👍👍
Gonna check that before i sleep, have you seen? Turtle beach releasing a new headset soon, tbh looks like a Recon 500 just wireless. Curious how it stacks up to the Stealth 700 gen 2.
how would these compare to the nova pro wired? I'm not sure which to go for
Gadgetry Tech
60 mm dynamic drivers sound fun!
It makes me wonder how they compare to the hyper x cloud 2 53mm drivers
Btw- if you were to sit down and watch a blu ray movie right now, which gaming headset out of all the ones you have reviews would you choose specifically for movies
Do these have your our mic fed into the speakers? Active mic monitoring.
Turtlebeach PX21,22 & 24 had a preamp with mic vol dials
Hi i want to upgrade my Logitech g933 to a new headphone i wonder which headphone to choose between astro a50 and nova7 and sound quality is most important thing for me.please help me and thank you for your amazing channel 🙏🏻
I'm quite surprised hearing how good these are at that price point. If I didn't already have H6Pros I'd bite.
Is the FiiO R7 on your radar per chance?
It could just be me, but the pro and casual mics I could barley tell the difference in background noise. Mabye a bit loud, however I would say the best option to use is casual as the pro is way to quiet to my ears.
Great review. Thank you for your time and effort to share this with us all. Based on your reviews and recommendations, I am awaiting delivery of a VZR headset. I hope this will meet my gaming needs.
Hi Simon, I think you l’ll love the VZR Model One. Me and my son listened to them at CanJam here in Irvine and were mighty impressed by them, no doubt they were one of the most interesting headphones at the show, I have a couple of VZR demo videos from the show to upload to my channel. For now, there is an interview uploaded with one of the founders. Cheers✨
@@hireality Many thanks for your reply and I hope to enjoy them as much as your Son and yourself did. Take care.
Good. Checked the feedback and price from Taobao. Asian gamers have complaints against the product H1 & H2 gaming headset (year 2021 & 2022) sold by XTRFY flagship store there (the speaker sound is not loud engough and microphone quality is poor).
another question what is the difference between the h1 and h1 pro
i got the xtrfy h1 casual mic on and the audio sounds muffled
Honestly I thought the pro mic sounded terrible. So unless you routinely game in an active construction site, I would go with the casual mic. And conversely, I didn't think the casual mic was picking up the keystroke sounds all that much. I'm not really not the market for this headset, but if I were the thing that would kill it for me was the comparison to the H6 pro. I don't like the way that headset sounds at all.
Thank you for the review. Any chance you want to take a look at the Skullcandy PLYR headset?
Thanks! They haven’t returned my emails but we’ll see!
what about csgo is this headset good for that. you mentioned valorant so im not sure
Try out the Acezone headphones
Is that a good dolby eq for the h6 pros as well?
I double this question
I don’t think anything can top Maxwell and pc38x for their price range. Sound is subjective, but i can’t stand how some headsets are too bright.
Good stuff. These bots in the comments are weird with their "quotes"
It's so hard to choose nowadays with so much reviews. I really like your inputs yet I am still confused. I have a Epos GSX 1000 2nd edition, I want a closed back headset to play multiplayer FPS games, I'm not hardcore but I want to understand where steps are coming and what's happening... I am torned between these H1, the Cloud III or the Epos H6 Pro. What do you say guys? I have a kid, so theres a lot of noise in the house, closed back is a must!
Which one did you buy?
@@yizistaken The Epos H6 Pro
will this work on xbox? i did my own research and it says i need an xbox controller adapater but i have a pro controller and doesnt have a port for a controller adapter.
This should work if it has the 3.5 jack. I’m looking into this headset too.
Hi. I have an option to purchase the XTRFY H1 wired for 70$ . The other competitor is the Logitech G Pro X, for the same price. Which one of the two is recommended?
Logitech G Pro X is great for sound and the software, but the mic leaves a lot to be desired. I just bought a pair of H1's though and those were pretty flat when I tested them with music and games as well as the microphone sounding NOTHING like this review in OBS recordings I did as well as talking in discord with friends. I'd say for the same price go with the G Pro X as I had a pair that lasted a long time.
@@CrimsonScion I bought the G Pro X but after 3 days i sold it. I am using a hi-fi type headset and compared to that the sound the G-Pro X was very boxie. So i will stick to my hi-fi type one , the sound is seriously richer. This is my preference.
would you recommend H1 or Cloud 3 for pure FPS gaming?
I tried the cloud 3 and they are complete opposite of these. They lack insane amount of bass. It’s actually quite frustrating at times when you want to pinpoint gunshots.
@@dezen7574 h1?
That frequency response is a tragedy in headphone form. Gamers are not the most knowledgeable people so they'll buy anything as long as it gives them a boner. What they don't realise is that headphones are generally made by people much smarter than them. There is a reason why dynamic drivers are 40mm. This is the ideal diaphragm size for reproducing the entire bandwidth crrectly. A 60mm driver will only perform worse no matter how much money you throw at it.
The "unique" treble response is a horrible undamped breakup mode that's normally pushed outside of the crucial region in a proper driver.
If I can give you a good advice it will be not to fall for the "bigger better" idiocracy kind of hype and get something designed using brain.
If you're using EQ, then this headphone is an even worse purchase. Just think about it - you're getting a driver that only can reproduce lows only to lower these lows down to the same level that a 40mm would make. Even after EQ you're still getting worse sound than with a basic driver.
girls say mine is bigger is better
This looks like a fancy version of the 35 dollar mpows! Like complete copy of the headphones with a sound card attached to it.... It screams Chinese cheapness all over it. Sorry
Similar but look closer mpows are closer to HyperX Clouds/Alphas in build design. The headband attaches at an angel unlike mpow and hyperX. Internals are all different to. There is no need to reinvent the wheel when you have a design that it open source that works great.
