Great job! That earned a "subscribe." Sampling the mics helped a ton, and this put you out front compared to some of the other reviewers. You put more time and effort into this review than they did. Thank you.
You said the Corsair HS80 mic sounded "ok" and the Kraken V3 sounded pretty good, but to me the Kraken's sounded like crap and the HS80's sounded miles better than anything else in the rest of the video
I got a Hyperx quadcast so I'm good when it comes to mic, but I need a closed-back headset as my pc38x's open-back makes it impossible to hear whats going on in videos and games whenever it rains. Question: What closed-back headset to get? (was thinking about the HyperX Cloud II Wireless)

@@demarcob5506 If you can deal with the drivers touching your head, yes. It also depends what you're coming from though. There is always the option of a set of sennheiser HD560s and a mod mic. It'll cost more but sound better if you like open back.

I consider soundstage/imaging a huge part in gaming and since I have been a soundwhore since the xbox 360 days.

I love the amount of positional hearing that this setup provides. Although the HD800S are the soundstage king the Arya are a close second there's a reason I went with a planar magnetic headphone over a standard dynamic one.

@@brentt8940 both great, TYGR are comfier and have sound more airy, mmx 100 have better bass and more present I’d say not quite as v shaped as the tygr, the mods seem a bit more present on the mmx 100 and the bass is way better. Mmx 100 are much better value, detachable cable, microphone and cheaper.
@@brentt8940 avoid the 990, the treble is extreme! the tygr is much better all around, it’s actually a retuned 990. You could have both as one is open and one is closed. Both great honestly.

Because i have (JBL Quantum One) and SteelSeries Artic Pro wiriless) but i dont hear enemy when they are above or underneath my position.

Dude your review is incredible and has headsets I’ve never heard of in my life and I have watched literally probably atleast 20 hours worth of headset reviews incredibly good job on your part man.
@@MM98126 man if you are playing ps5 and wanting to go no more than $150 definitely check out the steel series 7P. I bought those a couple months ago and I have never been so happy with a headset for that good of a price. What’s your price range? And what device are you playing on?? The 7p have a steel series engine three you can download on pc and you can adjust your eq to what ever you desire. FOR THE MONEY. They kinda make astros look like a sham. This is obviously just my opinion personally. If astros were cheaper this would be another subject but they are not that much better than 7p and in my experience 7p are just as good Astro. 7p has two little hinges I’m starting to hear complaints out of but from what I’ve seen if they break ( mine show no signs of anything to worry about) looks like steel series is replacing the headset for them. Now if that will work for sure idk but honestly I’m not to worried about it the quality of my set really surprised me.
....because read the title, this is best of 2021. Listen to the intro, best headsets that came out this year. The year is 2021. They came out in 2019. 2019 is not 2021. How much more clear does this have to be made when I make it obvious twice for you in the first 15 seconds of the video?
Can vouch for the PC38Xs. Even the yellow versions look fine with a black-style gaming setup. If you need to save some bucks the PC37Xs are fine, but the 38s have far, far better bass levels and if you listen to music often then your choice has already been made for you.
@@bigboybean6533 Works great as long as Siege's audio doesn't break. Last COD I played was MW 2019 with the 37Xs and they did fine so the 38xs will likely be fine too.
Frank can you do a Review on a pair of Hörluchs iem's? Ist a German Company that makes High-end iem's for singers or music Producers but they are exzellent for gaming aswell. Would love to See your opininen on them.
Wish you would have added the audeze penrose with the 100mm planar drivers. Hard to find a test on them. I’m sure they would do very well in these rankings
The difference is really minimal and hardly noticeable. Both headsets are absolutely fantastic and in my opinion it's not worth the extra charge because the difference is only minimally audible in a head-to-head comparison. Both Headsets are outstanding!
Corsair HS80 doesn't just sound "OK", "pretty good', "decent" "middle of the pack"! Seriously man that was a wtf?!? moment for me... I mean just compare it to the very next headset Razer Kraken V3's Mic. Which also gets "pretty good mic". Its pretty bad actually! Maybe more immersive if u r playing a Flightsim though. HS80 is one of the best sounding Mics in a gaming headset by any measure.
Hi I saw the beyerdynamic 150 and it got me thinking because i got the 300 2nd gen because of you and I love it. But could you maybe make a video where you compere the two since I’m a bit confused if I should get the new 150.
I wanted to get the V3 Hypersense but due to the small cable and the requirement to have a direct USB connection (not being able to use a USB extension) I'm probably going to wait and see how the Kraken V3 Pro shapes up as it's wireless
I wamma get the mmx150s but I'm a lover of corsair. Problem is I'm on console is it worth it to pick up the corsairs if I can't change any of the audio or go with the mmx150s
Thank you so much for testing mic & I wish you compared the headphones sound level between pc & consoles because some headsets have disappointing low sound level with consoles but very good with pc! Like what happend with me with the Cooler Master MH650! I hope you consider reviewing & comparing Cooler Master MH630
So I ended up getting the H6Pro. I changed from a Turtle Beach Ear Force Recon, the difference in youtube videos and music wasn't as great as I thought, I truly believe something jaw dropping when I switched. HOWEVER, playing Halo Infinite, I can tell you the difference between them is outstanding, the bass from the explosions was amazing. Its coom worthy comfortable in comparison to my old headset, that's just my take on it. Footsteps didnt really enhance much
Don't buy a gaming headset, just get yourself philips x2hr (cheap if you can find it still for sale, x3's not worth it) and vmoda mic. Sound quality surpasses all of these and is great for music too. Plus subjective, don't look gamery with weird rgb and style. (currently 87 euro on eBay on 96 or Amazon on sale for the headset only).
after watching this i got beyerdymic mmx 150 but when i got them they were SO tight but the sound quality is amazing if you have a somewhat large head than they might be extremly uncomfortable to wear so just be careful :)
A word of advice for those who are looking at the PC38X: I own 9 different headphones, these are by far the tightest I own. The clamping force is so strong I can't wear them for more then a few minutes, even after making a complete playthrough of FF7 Remake and keeping them for weeks stretching on a speaker (it wont help a lot since they're 100% plastic, so there wont be a lot of morphing in their shape). They're so strong that my face gets red from the reduced blood circulation and I get light headed after 15 minutes. If you're sensitive to this, don't get them. I've checked on forums and this seems like a common issue.
Literally wear 38x for work 8 hours a day and they are the most comfortable headphones I've used. Like at the beginning of the video it's super subjective. Take advantage of return policies if they aren't working out right away
As someone who can only keep suspension-style headbands (like corsair HS80 and steelseries arctis) on my head, feeling a bit of FOMO on all the other headphones in this video lol.
I know, I'm afraid to go away from headbands cause I don't want to get a new headset because the cushion on the head went out. Been using the same arctis 5 headset since I bought it in March of 2017 and they are still comfortable.
The problem i ALWAYS have with headsets is not durable headband as i always have to tape it =/ That happened with Logitech G935 Artemis Spectrum where the screw was broken after 6 months later to within a year. I never broke or treat the gear poorly is just i always come across with headset like that. So please which one do you recommend for me?
Huge recommendation of the MMX150, just started getting crackling in my headset, got the MMX150 instead and it's honestly a huge step-up. Thank you so much! :3
so I've had a bunch of different headsets over the year, from cheap all the way to the top wiht the a50 and mmx300. now I've switched to the sennheiser ie300 (love and recommend them a lot) and an external mic. First of all you'll get muhc better audion from just a nice pair of headphones and they'll most likely also last you longer than a headset. Second is same with the microphone: it'll probably last longer and sounds just so much better than a headset mic. You can get good headphones for like 100-200€/$ like the sennheiser 6xx (rn its actually on sale). Ofcorse I recommend you do your own research always. There are also some pretty cheap but good mics out there, the mod-mic lineup is actually pretty good for the price, but ofcorse there are ofcorse also normal mics for less then 100€ that sound decent eneough for sure. Conclusino: even if you have 300€ for a headset, dont make the same mistake as I did and buy the A50 or mmx300. While the mmx300 sound really nice for a headset and the a50 also sounds nice for a wireless headset, if lets say the mic breaks a year or so later, you wont be able to replace it and you'll need to buy a new mic anyways. 300 or even 200€ for a nice pair of headphones and mic is plenty enough for probably most people.
The A50s broke for you in a year? The gen3s I had just broke after 4years so I got some Sennheiser 560S and will return it if I like the drop PC38X better.
@@xEkaitz I've actually had 2 A50's, the first one had a production flaw with the soft coating on the plastic and I actually got a replacement.. on that one the mic became very lose after like 2 month or so but I somewhat managed to fix that on my own, after a while the battery started to die very fast to the point where I basically had to leave it plugged in. So in that one year is actually had 2 A50's. Then I switeched to the mmx300's, which were much better at everything. And again: a year or so later the mic suddenly didnt work properly anymore, it was pretty much way too quiet for anyone on discord to hear me even on max loudness and +30dB in windows settings. I asked the support about it and the told me that I would need to buy a new one becuase the warrenty doesnt last that long which is pretty stupid if you ask me.
Highly recommend the h6pro. I got the closed backs. It might've been better to get the open back for sound quality but the noise cancellation is a must for me * The racing green colorway is super sexy
@@christianlee1423 just got my H6pro white open back to match my pc setup. super comfy and the sound quality is superb and its good to music too. its gonna replace my favorite headset which is pc38x. and the build quality feels like $300+ headset.
Still got to have the Arctis Pro Wireless on the list. Sound Quality is amazing, Removable Battery for quick Replacement and has a Game DAC to help with Sound Control.
I personally feel the Arctis Pro Wireless is great in many ways. But lacks in its main purpose. The sound quality is great, music sounds good for a gaming headset. And that batterything... so clever. Curious why other brands dont apply this more. You never run out of juice. On the gaming part... it sucks in my opinion. I tend to play games where its crucial to hear others footsteps etc. It severely lacks there. I own several other headsets that do better(game one, cloud flight) and people I play with hear things earlier and more accurate (position wise) compared to me. It made me sell them
@@melonradish3683 And then you can throw the whole Headset into the garbage bin if either sound or mic is not working, smart. Besides that you still miss the point from my first comment. Plus you burn away extra money for buying a Headset that is marketed for gaming. Gaming Headsets show historically that the build quality and/or performance in relation to the price you pay as consumer is in a really bad ratio.
@@randomfrankp Comparing the MMX100 to DT990 + ModMic, the MMX100 would still loose or in other words it is a terrible comparison. Tho it's sad that people still advertise "Gaming" Headsets nowadays as there are way better alternatives in terms of performance with a lower price entry point, it just doesn't use the term "Gaming". If you want to spend even less, you could buy a Superlux 668b + ModMic, even that setup would beat the MMX100.
So grateful for the sound test at the end. I buy all my audio gear based on how Shakira sounds in the headset or how I sound with Shakira over the mic

@@brentt8940 both great, TYGR are comfier and have sound more airy, mmx 100 have better bass and more present I’d say not quite as v shaped as the tygr, the mods seem a bit more present on the mmx 100 and the bass is way better. Mmx 100 are much better value, detachable cable, microphone and cheaper.
@@millenwagon could it be worth to own both ? Tygr more for music is mmx100 for gaming ? Or they sound too similar ? Or possible 990 and mmx 100
@@brentt8940 avoid the 990, the treble is extreme! the tygr is much better all around, it’s actually a retuned 990. You could have both as one is open and one is closed. Both great honestly.
@@millenwagon great thanks
Hi. Thank for yous videos!!!
Little question : Which headset is best to knowing enemy position. Best headset to hear footstep.
Because i have (JBL Quantum One) and SteelSeries Artic Pro wiriless) but i dont hear enemy when they are above or underneath my position.
All audio setting in Warzone and Windows /Headset are set well. I am looking to buy another headset to improve this aspect. Could you help me please.
Thank you and continue your good job!!!!
I swear to God this video came the day after i bought a headset
same lmao
Bought the pc38x two days ago..... didn't realise there was a black version till this video 🥲
On god
@@jaredhill167 Wouldn't you be within the window for returning/ swapping if it was that recently? I managed to swap an open box monitor (4K 28" G7) for a better monitor that went on a Black Friday sale (G9) without too much trouble.
@@AKSBSU I can but only if I pay extra to ship it back to them, since it had already been in transit and I ain't paying no more aha, I'll just stick with the yellow

Dude your review is incredible and has headsets I’ve never heard of in my life and I have watched literally probably atleast 20 hours worth of headset reviews incredibly good job on your part man.
@@MM98126 what kind of device are you playing on bud?
@@MM98126 man if you are playing ps5 and wanting to go no more than $150 definitely check out the steel series 7P. I bought those a couple months ago and I have never been so happy with a headset for that good of a price. What’s your price range? And what device are you playing on?? The 7p have a steel series engine three you can download on pc and you can adjust your eq to what ever you desire. FOR THE MONEY. They kinda make astros look like a sham. This is obviously just my opinion personally. If astros were cheaper this would be another subject but they are not that much better than 7p and in my experience 7p are just as good Astro. 7p has two little hinges I’m starting to hear complaints out of but from what I’ve seen if they break ( mine show no signs of anything to worry about) looks like steel series is replacing the headset for them. Now if that will work for sure idk but honestly I’m not to worried about it the quality of my set really surprised me.
Why do I not see my Hyperx alpha s here The Mic is great The headset comfortablity is better
....because read the title, this is best of 2021. Listen to the intro, best headsets that came out this year. The year is 2021. They came out in 2019. 2019 is not 2021. How much more clear does this have to be made when I make it obvious twice for you in the first 15 seconds of the video?
@@randomfrankp god damn chill
I agree with ya tho lol
@@randomfrankp ok fair argument Love your content bro :)
Can vouch for the PC38Xs. Even the yellow versions look fine with a black-style gaming setup. If you need to save some bucks the PC37Xs are fine, but the 38s have far, far better bass levels and if you listen to music often then your choice has already been made for you.
What about FPS gaming? For example rainbow six siege or the current COD games
@@bigboybean6533 Works great as long as Siege's audio doesn't break. Last COD I played was MW 2019 with the 37Xs and they did fine so the 38xs will likely be fine too.
@@IndyMiraaga aight thanks man appreciate it
Frank can you do a Review on a pair of Hörluchs iem's? Ist a German Company that makes High-end iem's for singers or music Producers but they are exzellent for gaming aswell. Would love to See your opininen on them.
Thank you for including "glasses test" in your review :) So useful.
Wish you would have added the audeze penrose with the 100mm planar drivers. Hard to find a test on them. I’m sure they would do very well in these rankings
Which ones of these also have amazing bass?
Can anyone let me know how the MMX150 compares to the MMX300? Is it worth getting the 150s over the 300
I wouldnt go for the MMX300. Too expensive for what it is, at that point your better off with stereo headphones + modmic
The difference is really minimal and hardly noticeable. Both headsets are absolutely fantastic and in my opinion it's not worth the extra charge because the difference is only minimally audible in a head-to-head comparison. Both Headsets are outstanding!
Corsair HS80 doesn't just sound "OK", "pretty good', "decent" "middle of the pack"! Seriously man that was a wtf?!? moment for me...
I mean just compare it to the very next headset Razer Kraken V3's Mic. Which also gets "pretty good mic". Its pretty bad actually! Maybe more immersive if u r playing a Flightsim though.
HS80 is one of the best sounding Mics in a gaming headset by any measure.
The mic on the HS80 is the best out of the 5 especially considering it is Wireless unlike all the other ones
Yea but he said it got hot 2 hours of gaming tho
@@unidentified2004 not true I already did many sessions of 14 hours non stop using 1 charge
@@mehdimarbou how is the sound quality?
@@zmspliffo7138 Out of the box it's correct once you play with EQ or install DOLBY ATMOS it's on another level I freaking love it
@@mehdimarbou Appreciate the feedback. Thanks for responding quickly.
bruhh i'm broke right now
I think the h6 pro mic sounded really distorted because of how sensitive it is, if the volume was lower I think it would sound better
Hi
I saw the beyerdynamic 150 and it got me thinking because i got the 300 2nd gen because of you and I love it. But could you maybe make a video where you compere the two since I’m a bit confused if I should get the new 150.
Gotta love the lyrics reading at the end 🤣
At 28:26 you lost me I had to play shakers on Spotify 😂😂 great video!
I wanted to get the V3 Hypersense but due to the small cable and the requirement to have a direct USB connection (not being able to use a USB extension) I'm probably going to wait and see how the Kraken V3 Pro shapes up as it's wireless
€220 though. Ouch !!
@@garethg8226 That's the one thing that puts me off them
@@chrisvillan88 Yup. Very expensive.
Seriously, that's the microphone audio in HS80? that's so sick bruh! why would you say OK?
Facts it sounds one of the best and he said it was just average
@@WwoveX maybe payment issues with Corsair. LoL 😆
@@AnandMishere definitely, I’m ordering one 🤣
Thank you for the glasses test. That's one of my biggest issues with gaming headsets.
I wamma get the mmx150s but I'm a lover of corsair. Problem is I'm on console is it worth it to pick up the corsairs if I can't change any of the audio or go with the mmx150s
58x jubilee still best open backs for gaming. Hands down
The Sennheiser HD560S smokes the HD58x.
Best open back for gaming? The crown goes to the Sennheiser HD800s
WTF~! I'm so glad you even included a small part about if you're wearing glasses! Thanks! Never seen anyone else do that on purpose :D
Thank you so much for testing mic & I wish you compared the headphones sound level between pc & consoles because some headsets have disappointing low sound level with consoles but very good with pc! Like what happend with me with the Cooler Master MH650!
I hope you consider reviewing & comparing Cooler Master
MH630
warning about mm150 => if they are similar shape and clamping force then mmx300 then they can be very uncomfortable after 30min of use ;)
So I ended up getting the H6Pro. I changed from a Turtle Beach Ear Force Recon, the difference in youtube videos and music wasn't as great as I thought, I truly believe something jaw dropping when I switched. HOWEVER, playing Halo Infinite, I can tell you the difference between them is outstanding, the bass from the explosions was amazing. Its coom worthy comfortable in comparison to my old headset, that's just my take on it. Footsteps didnt really enhance much
What about music is it good
Did you get open or closed, I have the h6pro open back and love it. Mic is awesome, sound and footsteps direction is awesome
Coomer
I don’t really understand what different open and closed one
@@mrfandira yea what is different
Don't buy a gaming headset, just get yourself philips x2hr (cheap if you can find it still for sale, x3's not worth it) and vmoda mic. Sound quality surpasses all of these and is great for music too. Plus subjective, don't look gamery with weird rgb and style. (currently 87 euro on eBay on 96 or Amazon on sale for the headset only).
after watching this i got beyerdymic mmx 150 but when i got them they were SO tight but the sound quality is amazing if you have a somewhat large head than they might be extremly uncomfortable to wear so just be careful :)
where did you purchase from?
wow that corsair hs80 mic quality is amazing
love the sound test at the end for obvious reasons
Sennheiser and bayerdunamic
is the best audiophile headphones
A word of advice for those who are looking at the PC38X: I own 9 different headphones, these are by far the tightest I own. The clamping force is so strong I can't wear them for more then a few minutes, even after making a complete playthrough of FF7 Remake and keeping them for weeks stretching on a speaker (it wont help a lot since they're 100% plastic, so there wont be a lot of morphing in their shape).
They're so strong that my face gets red from the reduced blood circulation and I get light headed after 15 minutes.
If you're sensitive to this, don't get them. I've checked on forums and this seems like a common issue.
I have never had this happen or anything close to it.
Maybe ur head is too big.
Literally wear 38x for work 8 hours a day and they are the most comfortable headphones I've used. Like at the beginning of the video it's super subjective. Take advantage of return policies if they aren't working out right away
@@cacho2049 ROFL
@@AKSBSU me neither
wth were the words for the sound test at the end. ngl kinda sus
As someone who can only keep suspension-style headbands (like corsair HS80 and steelseries arctis) on my head, feeling a bit of FOMO on all the other headphones in this video lol.
I know, I'm afraid to go away from headbands cause I don't want to get a new headset because the cushion on the head went out. Been using the same arctis 5 headset since I bought it in March of 2017 and they are still comfortable.
How would the EPOS h6 pro compare to a Astro a50 gen 3 headset?
Thanks Beyer....now I gotta by the MX150. They look awesome. I'm looking forward to getting it.
It's such an amazing Headset. Sound is...outstanding
Quick question, did you buy these on Amazon? They are sold out everywhere
@@christopherlee7764 no. Direct from Beyer. Shipping is pretty fast.
@@Princeton_James ok thanks
@@christopherlee7764 looks like the mmx 150s are currently unavailable on the website
The problem i ALWAYS have with headsets is not durable headband as i always have to tape it =/ That happened with Logitech G935 Artemis Spectrum where the screw was broken after 6 months later to within a year. I never broke or treat the gear poorly is just i always come across with headset like that. So please which one do you recommend for me?
You need to try the big brother to the mmx 150's, the mmx 300. It's an incredible product, love mine more than anything
Both are amazing. Outstanding
Gaming wise? Can you locate the enemy footsteps?

ive been obsessively watching headset reviews for the last 3 days so this was kinda godsend as youre my favorite channel for reviews 😮💨😮💨
Just to let everyone on here steelseries is by far the best headset out right behind them would be hyper x
Not even. I have steelseries 7 and it's trash
so I've had a bunch of different headsets over the year, from cheap all the way to the top wiht the a50 and mmx300. now I've switched to the sennheiser ie300 (love and recommend them a lot) and an external mic. First of all you'll get muhc better audion from just a nice pair of headphones and they'll most likely also last you longer than a headset. Second is same with the microphone: it'll probably last longer and sounds just so much better than a headset mic. You can get good headphones for like 100-200€/$ like the sennheiser 6xx (rn its actually on sale). Ofcorse I recommend you do your own research always. There are also some pretty cheap but good mics out there, the mod-mic lineup is actually pretty good for the price, but ofcorse there are ofcorse also normal mics for less then 100€ that sound decent eneough for sure.
Conclusino: even if you have 300€ for a headset, dont make the same mistake as I did and buy the A50 or mmx300. While the mmx300 sound really nice for a headset and the a50 also sounds nice for a wireless headset, if lets say the mic breaks a year or so later, you wont be able to replace it and you'll need to buy a new mic anyways.
300 or even 200€ for a nice pair of headphones and mic is plenty enough for probably most people.
The A50s broke for you in a year? The gen3s I had just broke after 4years so I got some Sennheiser 560S and will return it if I like the drop PC38X better.
@@xEkaitz I've actually had 2 A50's, the first one had a production flaw with the soft coating on the plastic and I actually got a replacement.. on that one the mic became very lose after like 2 month or so but I somewhat managed to fix that on my own, after a while the battery started to die very fast to the point where I basically had to leave it plugged in. So in that one year is actually had 2 A50's. Then I switeched to the mmx300's, which were much better at everything. And again: a year or so later the mic suddenly didnt work properly anymore, it was pretty much way too quiet for anyone on discord to hear me even on max loudness and +30dB in windows settings. I asked the support about it and the told me that I would need to buy a new one becuase the warrenty doesnt last that long which is pretty stupid if you ask me.
27:21 28:17
Highly recommend the h6pro. I got the closed backs. It might've been better to get the open back for sound quality but the noise cancellation is a must for me
* The racing green colorway is super sexy
Hey can you tell me if it’s really the best option
Is it comfortable for long usage hours ?
Is it the best option here?
Im so lost 😞
How is it for listening to music? A headphone good for gaming doesn't mean its gonna be nice for music. Thoughts?
@@christianlee1423 honestly it is good
I got it yesterday;)
@@itsalsweed good? compared to what? what headphones were u using prior?
@@christianlee1423 just got my H6pro white open back to match my pc setup. super comfy and the sound quality is superb and its good to music too. its gonna replace my favorite headset which is pc38x. and the build quality feels like $300+ headset.
Can you do a wireless one please ?
Still got to have the Arctis Pro Wireless on the list. Sound Quality is amazing, Removable Battery for quick Replacement and has a Game DAC to help with Sound Control.
Aren’t they like 300€
I personally feel the Arctis Pro Wireless is great in many ways. But lacks in its main purpose. The sound quality is great, music sounds good for a gaming headset. And that batterything... so clever. Curious why other brands dont apply this more. You never run out of juice.
On the gaming part... it sucks in my opinion. I tend to play games where its crucial to hear others footsteps etc. It severely lacks there. I own several other headsets that do better(game one, cloud flight) and people I play with hear things earlier and more accurate (position wise) compared to me. It made me sell them
@@karnyvekz they need an update it's time like steelseries has to make some improvements and up their mic game
beyerdynamic MMX 150 Black Gaming Headset sadly unavailable @Belgium
I.e. Beyerdynamic DT990 + ModMic USB/Wireless is the way to go. Gaming Headsets = Overpriced for what you get, unfortunately.
Headsets are designed to have a mic just already on them nit everybody wants an external mic.
…or the Beyerdynamix MMX 100 which is why I made this video in the first place.
@@melonradish3683 And then you can throw the whole Headset into the garbage bin if either sound or mic is not working, smart. Besides that you still miss the point from my first comment. Plus you burn away extra money for buying a Headset that is marketed for gaming. Gaming Headsets show historically that the build quality and/or performance in relation to the price you pay as consumer is in a really bad ratio.
@@randomfrankp Comparing the MMX100 to DT990 + ModMic, the MMX100 would still loose or in other words it is a terrible comparison. Tho it's sad that people still advertise "Gaming" Headsets nowadays as there are way better alternatives in terms of performance with a lower price entry point, it just doesn't use the term "Gaming". If you want to spend even less, you could buy a Superlux 668b + ModMic, even that setup would beat the MMX100.
How does the MMX 100 compare to the SHP9500 and PC38x?
