1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:07,839
first you used our guide to buy the best cheapo keyboard out there then you

2
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:11,280
complimented it with the best sub 15 mouse

3
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:15,200
then you actually ended up replacing the original cheapo keyboard with a slightly

4
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:21,199
less cheap but still an expensive mechanical one and now

5
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:24,720
it's time to complete your i spent all

6
00:00:21,199 --> 00:00:27,840
of my money on dlc equipment set with

7
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:29,519
one final piece a gaming headset for

8
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:41,120
less than dollars because you guys love a deal

9
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:47,840
this cyber monday mass drop will be launching 40 of their best deals along

10
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:53,120
with flash sales which will be live on their site for just 12 hours or until

11
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:56,960
the item sells out so check it out at the link below

12
00:00:55,120 --> 00:01:02,160
first up well i'm not gonna mince words this is our

13
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:07,360
cheapest pair the ip ap appy

14
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:10,159
whatever the vibration gaming headphone

15
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:12,640
and it costs just 10 now

16
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:17,119
i actually don't mind this personally but we're getting off to a bad start

17
00:01:14,479 --> 00:01:20,880
here vibration is just part of the product name not a feature which

18
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:24,720
apparently disappointed at least one unlucky buyer

19
00:01:22,320 --> 00:01:28,960
with that said ap must have put the money that they saved on packaging to

20
00:01:26,479 --> 00:01:35,920
good use because their headset actually sounds okay if a touch basey and while

21
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:37,840
exquisite is definitely a stretch for

22
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:41,920
ten dollars the build quality on these things is surprisingly okay

23
00:01:40,479 --> 00:01:46,479
their lightweight deep and cushy ear pads and

24
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:51,840
self-adjusting suspension style headband make for a comfy listening experience

25
00:01:48,799 --> 00:01:54,799
though they do get pretty warm while the

26
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:59,920
long and it's weird it's kind of greasy feeling cable and included splitter make

27
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:05,119
them convenient to use with your desktop phone or console there's an integrated

28
00:02:02,479 --> 00:02:08,640
volume wheel and mic which despite not having a boom

29
00:02:06,399 --> 00:02:13,280
or a mute button for that matter sounds on par with most of the others in our

30
00:02:10,319 --> 00:02:18,800
roundup test test test this is the appy vibration gaming headphones microphone

31
00:02:15,920 --> 00:02:23,120
sound at just 10 bucks and if you plug in the extra usb you get multi-colored

32
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:27,120
breathing leds you can't control them but hey

33
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:30,239
it's a bonus at this point i like this one now let's meet our next

34
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:35,440
contestant just because your headset is cheap

35
00:02:32,959 --> 00:02:40,239
doesn't mean it has to look cheap but the gd40s from headphone ninja

36
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:46,080
definitely do both of those things they're made of ugly cheap plastic and

37
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:47,840
crude pleather and they don't fit well

38
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:52,720
even on their smallest setting they don't seal on my ears properly though if

39
00:02:50,319 --> 00:02:57,519
you've got a real melon head then sure plop them on at least until the poorly

40
00:02:55,200 --> 00:03:01,680
padded headband digs into your skull on the plus side they've got a

41
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:05,519
semi-bendy-ish what they're calling blade style

42
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:09,760
microphone that's a boom microphone if you're not a

43
00:03:07,519 --> 00:03:13,120
ninja in your spare time and a braided cable with an inline controller that

44
00:03:12,239 --> 00:03:18,159
just looks almost as stupid as it feels in

45
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:24,239
your hands they actually sound okay but with all these other problems who

46
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:27,440
honestly cares next up the sadie's sa708

47
00:03:24,239 --> 00:03:29,599
for 15.99 and wait a second are these

48
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:35,200
things actually getting worse as the price goes up these things look more

49
00:03:32,159 --> 00:03:36,959
like pretend headphones for kids to play

50
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:43,200
gaming team house rather than an actual product i mean

51
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:43,200
just listen to that build quality

52
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:48,959
and fit gets a big fat fail too if you

53
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:53,280
have large ears these are on-ear headphones with hard uncomfortable

54
00:03:50,799 --> 00:03:56,720
padding and if you have small ears then they're

55
00:03:54,239 --> 00:04:00,720
sort of on-ear headphones with hard uncomfortable padding sound

56
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:04,560
quality at least has been pretty consistent across the headsets we've

57
00:04:02,319 --> 00:04:09,439
looked at so far but with that said the bass on these manages to stand out as

58
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:13,439
extra muddy and it's one of the only ones that doesn't come with an adapter

59
00:04:11,599 --> 00:04:19,120
for console play and and while we're at it wait a minute this thing's got the same crappy inline

60
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:24,080
controller as the last headset i guess at least it has

61
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:26,800
emi shielding to ensure a good mood

62
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:30,240
and to their credit the mic does conceal pretty nicely along with the rest of

63
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:37,120
this thing in the garbage if your garbage can has a lid the somic

64
00:04:34,280 --> 00:04:43,199
g923 comes in white or black and advertises and not one but two places on

65
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:44,479
the box a long hard microphone with high

66
00:04:43,199 --> 00:04:50,080
sensitivity ironically it's actually one of the few mics that stood out as especially quiet

67
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:57,639
and distant sounding this is a test of the somic g923 stereo

68
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,639
gaming headset at 17. 17.99

69
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:04,160
to their credit they are not uncomfortable though the cups offer some

70
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:07,360
articulation and the in-line controls are small and equipped with an

71
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:12,400
appreciated clip but the build quality on this one is really bad like think how

72
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:16,000
bad it has to be to stand out in this round up and look how far the mic sits

73
00:05:14,639 --> 00:05:19,120
from your mouth and listen to the headband adjustment

74
00:05:17,759 --> 00:05:23,039
mechanism they also included this inexplicable

75
00:05:21,280 --> 00:05:26,880
plastic bag is this supposed to be a carrying case

76
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:32,800
next up then is the beaxlint gm1 at

77
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:37,600
19.99 tons of padding actually makes this one

78
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:41,199
reasonably comfortable despite the rigid design

79
00:05:38,479 --> 00:05:45,759
and while it sounds grating in low quality the headband offers a lot of

80
00:05:43,199 --> 00:05:51,280
steps to help you find the right fit like the 10 headset this one also has

81
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:54,320
leds but it's just static blue all day

82
00:05:51,280 --> 00:05:56,000
and it also has inline controls but it's

83
00:05:54,320 --> 00:06:00,160
one of those ones that hangs at an awkward length and the sound of it

84
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:04,240
dragging across my clothes is definitely not invited to my next birthday party

85
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:09,280
i'm afraid not even bill and ted would approve of this one next the twenty

86
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:15,199
dollar nubo entw's are kind of like a souped-up version of the ten dollar aps

87
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:20,560
at least at first glance i can say positively that they are the first thing

88
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:23,199
we've seen that comes close to

89
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:26,800
premium feeling today with a soft touch finish braided cable and flexible boom

90
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:32,319
mic but that beauty is only skin deep or in

91
00:06:29,840 --> 00:06:34,479
this case a flimsy piece of pleather deep

92
00:06:33,199 --> 00:06:38,960
the ribbon of metal in the headband digs into your

93
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:42,800
head in a matter of minutes oh this thing

94
00:06:40,319 --> 00:06:48,639
sucks and the caliper pressure on these is unfortunately so low that small and

95
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:53,280
medium noggin folks alike won't ever feel like they're really staying on

96
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:58,240
making matters worse for some inexplicable reason they put the mute

97
00:06:55,600 --> 00:07:03,520
switch right on the mic meaning that you have to make a bunch of scuffling noises

98
00:07:00,639 --> 00:07:10,400
while you take off the included windsock every time you want to use it

99
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:13,919
next we have the version tech g2000s

100
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:16,720
which turned out to be the caution each

101
00:07:13,919 --> 00:07:20,880
whatever that means g2000s when they arrived and on the subject of

102
00:07:18,639 --> 00:07:24,960
inconsistencies while they do definitely feature analog connectivity as

103
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:29,440
advertised on the box they're actually blue not orange

104
00:07:27,599 --> 00:07:33,280
they've got a super flexible headband though for when your mind gets blown

105
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:38,319
watching Techquickie and after a break-in period for that stiff headband

106
00:07:35,599 --> 00:07:43,520
foam they would be pretty comfortable if the ear cups weren't so shallow that my

107
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:47,680
ears were pressed against the for some reason convex covers on the drivers this

108
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:52,160
is honestly enough of a deal breaker for me

109
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:56,160
that even lighting effects can't make up for it but if you don't care about that

110
00:07:54,240 --> 00:08:00,319
then sound quality is similar to the rest and the boom mic is in exactly the

111
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:04,400
right position to sit at the corner of your mouth if you're a catfish on to the

112
00:08:03,199 --> 00:08:12,400
uh wait a minute what's this

113
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:14,400
a recognizable brand the nsi ds-501 have

114
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:19,440
better build quality than their red ranger glossy plastic suggests and are

115
00:08:17,039 --> 00:08:23,840
actually among the most light and most comfortable headsets in the roundup

116
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:28,639
today and they sound alright too with ample bass without being too over the

117
00:08:25,919 --> 00:08:31,759
top though like the rest they do become pretty distorted and muddy at high

118
00:08:30,479 --> 00:08:36,479
volumes the mic boom pivots and bends which is

119
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:40,880
really nice but with that said even correctly

120
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:45,480
positioned the recording quality isn't the greatest

121
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:47,200
this is a test of the MSI ds501s for

122
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:52,240
24.99 bringing us finally to the stylish

123
00:08:49,680 --> 00:08:56,880
patriot viper v330s these guys have got a soft touch finish

124
00:08:54,560 --> 00:09:02,240
breathable fabric ear pads a nice ratcheting headband with a braided cable

125
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:04,880
a nearly invisible fold away mic and

126
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:09,279
integrated controls on the left ear cup they're one of the only two sets in the

127
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:13,440
roundup to come with a travel bag and even though it's pretty drek it's

128
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:17,760
significantly better than the other one but with all that positive stuff said

129
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:21,680
they're also the only set to stand out as overly tinny sounding they're not

130
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:27,120
super comfortable and they are the most expensive one that we looked at today so

131
00:09:24,959 --> 00:09:30,640
which set do we recommend then as your new daily

132
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:35,279
drivers well since they mostly all have

133
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:41,760
comparable sound and mic quality it pretty much came down to comfort

134
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:45,519
build quality and price which makes it

135
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:47,279
really hard to beat the 10 aps whose

136
00:09:45,519 --> 00:09:51,600
multi-colored leds and construction put them way ahead in

137
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:56,000
terms of value especially when you factor in that they cost less than half as much as some of the other ones we

138
00:09:54,880 --> 00:10:02,240
featured MSI's ds-501 does cost more but was

139
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:07,279
significantly more comfortable to my noggin and then if you don't dig the

140
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:10,800
suspension style headband i'd say go for the be excellent gm ones

141
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:17,279
this episode was brought to you by tunnelbear the easy to use vpn app when

142
00:10:15,279 --> 00:10:22,560
people are shopping for a vpn one of the features they look for is a kill switch

143
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:27,040
now before you actually get properly connected to the internet

144
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:32,720
and you can start browsing your device will actually start to send information

145
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:35,360
about itself and what it wants to do to

146
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:40,720
you know that hot spot in the airport and before you connect to your vpn

147
00:10:38,399 --> 00:10:44,640
all of this traffic is actually unencrypted so in the few seconds it

148
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:48,959
takes to connect you've probably already broadcast your ip maybe a few dns

149
00:10:46,959 --> 00:10:53,760
requests or a search query vigilantbear from tunnelbear stops this

150
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:58,320
by blocking all outbound and inbound traffic so nothing leaks out before you

151
00:10:56,399 --> 00:11:04,079
connect helping keep you private throughout your entire session and this

152
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:09,519
is cool if your connection goes down for some reason vigilant bear will kick back

153
00:11:06,560 --> 00:11:13,920
in and stop all outbound and inbound traffic until the connection comes back
