IEMs and External mic has been the best solution for me. I love the Moondrop Chu 2’s sounds over most gaming headsets I’ve tried and I use a Samson Q2U microphone I got on a sale for a ~$90 set up that beats $100 gaming headsets on sound quality. I am however in PC so mileage may vary on consoles.
I'm a gamer but I also sing and whilst I do find my SS Apex headset better for gaming and love the dual channel volume control it's just too much of a hassle to keep switching between peripherals, IEM and a standolone mic is def my go-to option and you can just use third-party software to make sound profiles for different applications. Personally using the Truthear x Crinacle Zero Red IEM and a Blue Yeti, whilst I can't say that there's anything ''special'' about these IEMs there is no need, they're just solid true to sound buds that ever a lot of detail for the amount of money paid.
Pretty sure Crin said at some point that the best pair of budget closed back headphones are iems and I agree with that. I don't have the budget for "good" headphones and gaming headsets stopped being comfortable after an an hour or so. Ended up buying a pair of Truthear Hola's and I've never looked back.
@@goukigod the Zero Reds aren't good for gaming. Both PvP and immersive. The Zero blue is. But when you have an EM6l and the Hidizs mp 145, you don't need that, unless you're just plain curious.
Anything that has good imaging will help you pinpoint individual sounds should be your top priority. Beyond that, using EQ settings, like the FPS modes you find in most software like SteelSeries Sonar can help too.
you need surround sound, the headphones need to support surround sound or you can simulate it by using "Windows Sonic for headphones" or Dolby Atmos Gaming feature. This guy in the video is not a real gamer, he doesn't know what he's talking about.
don't buy stereo headphones, as they will only have 2 channels, so you'll only hear the sounds coming from either left or right of your player/character but not 360 surround sound
@@liquidsunshine697 U can also use steel series sonar, or windows sonic for headphones spatial audio to simulate surround sound but only a headphones that supports 5.1 or 7.1 channel surround sound will be good for gaming. Left and right is not enough, U need to know if the enemy is up or down as well
Many earbuds sit in your ears. I have soundcore bluetooth earbuds that are wireless as well as some Blon BL03 IEMS and they work and fit exactly the same (though wired).
Surround sound built in immediately takes it out of the budget category. That said, I think something with great imaging can be as good, if not better than surround sound. If you want a good all rounder in terms of audio performance and comfort, the Simgot EM6L IEM is worth checking out
Now there's a question that audiophiles will debate until the end of time... I think it comes down to taste and budget. You can get a great pair of IEMs for under $50 US whereas $200 is the starting price for a good pair of headphones. To overly simplify things, IEMs are a good affordable option particularly if you like bass. Headphones are better if you want a wide soundstage and they are generally more comfortable for long sessions.
This is an amazing video! But one thing I think should have been mentioned during the IEM section is interchangeable cables. IMO I would just get a pair of iems and change the cable to one that has a mic for the best of both worlds.
Great video! A lot of useful information. I just purchased 3 pairs of headphones/headsets to compare them for gaming and general music listening. Blackshark V2 Epos H6pro closed Soundcore Q35 Have you used any of them? Thanks!
Depends on your budget. IEMs can be a great place to start because there are some good cheap options. I prefer headphones but they start at around $200 US
@@goukigod I see, I'm out of that budget range rn, but if I save it up, would you say it's better to straight go for expensive or have a cheap one first?
So a common misconception is that headsets provide surround sound, but there are actually very few that do this without using additional software. Most headsets are stereo just like a pair of headphones. Examples of headsets that have surround sound/3D audio built in are the Astro A50 and JBL Quantum 910. Almost all headsets and headphones can be used with 3D audio software like the PS5's 3D audio.
@@goukigod🙏🏼 right now im looking for a good headphone with exceptional sound quality i love deeper sounds paired with high for music and id like to mix with gaming thans my first point for gaming what im going to use it for i dont care abbout microphones or anything fancy besides superior sound quality in music and for gaming actually all i care abbout is hearing footsteps in cod
@@goukigodmy budget is nothing more than a 1000euro but id be happy with 500 headphones only if the more money really can convince me its way better the area depends sometimes quiet sometimes a little louder because of ventilator or airco
So for your first pair of headphones, I would recommend not going overboard. The reason is, that when you start spending audiophile money on headphones, you may not immediately notice a big difference between them and something like a wireless Sony headphone or gaming headset. Spending more tends to have diminishing returns and if you don't have much experience with this kind of equipment you probably won't be able to tell much difference between a $500 and $1000 headphone when starting out. I think the Sennheiser HD 650 is a good place to start without spending too much. They are an open back design with good bass and detail making them suitable for gaming and music. Open back headphones will give you the most 3D like experience without using some kind of virtual surround sound software.

I really don't need another pair of IEMs but I am very tempted to get the Truthear Zero:RED. Just to see how good budget IEMs have become.
I believe they're meant to be some of the best in the sub £100 range
I have the KZ ZEX Pro, which I was impressed with. This is why I was curious if Crin could work the same magic on something cheaper.
Hs65s are 50 dollars pounds and super super super lite and comfortable and have a top level in game imaging directionary sound and unbeaten mic

I use speakers alot for gaming when alone iems for comp and headphones for fun

Glad I could help!
I haven't tried those. I have used H6PRO open back extensively though and it's my go-to headset for horror games.
What was your result?
@@victorenock Blackshark v2 is the best headset, Soundocre q35 is decent for music listening. H6pro was a major disappointment.
Awesome video! Thanks!
No worries!
which one is best for watching content like movies and series headphones or earbuds
Open back headphones, hands down.
Wired headphones with a modmic, question answered.
What earphones you thinking I am in the market too I play pubg on pc ibam thinking the qc20 but I don't know
If you don't care about wires then that will deliver the best sound and mic quality for sure.
You watch crin eh?

The type of headphone you need will depend on how much you want to spend and if the space where you game is quiet.
