WEBVTT 00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:07.839 first you used our guide to buy the best cheapo keyboard out there then you 00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:11.280 complimented it with the best sub 15 mouse 00:00:08.800 --> 00:00:15.200 then you actually ended up replacing the original cheapo keyboard with a slightly 00:00:13.440 --> 00:00:21.199 less cheap but still an expensive mechanical one and now 00:00:17.680 --> 00:00:24.720 it's time to complete your i spent all 00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:27.840 of my money on dlc equipment set with 00:00:24.720 --> 00:00:29.519 one final piece a gaming headset for 00:00:27.840 --> 00:00:41.120 less than dollars because you guys love a deal 00:00:41.120 --> 00:00:47.840 this cyber monday mass drop will be launching 40 of their best deals along 00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:53.120 with flash sales which will be live on their site for just 12 hours or until 00:00:50.800 --> 00:00:56.960 the item sells out so check it out at the link below 00:00:55.120 --> 00:01:02.160 first up well i'm not gonna mince words this is our 00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:07.360 cheapest pair the ip ap appy 00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:10.159 whatever the vibration gaming headphone 00:01:07.360 --> 00:01:12.640 and it costs just 10 now 00:01:10.880 --> 00:01:17.119 i actually don't mind this personally but we're getting off to a bad start 00:01:14.479 --> 00:01:20.880 here vibration is just part of the product name not a feature which 00:01:18.880 --> 00:01:24.720 apparently disappointed at least one unlucky buyer 00:01:22.320 --> 00:01:28.960 with that said ap must have put the money that they saved on packaging to 00:01:26.479 --> 00:01:35.920 good use because their headset actually sounds okay if a touch basey and while 00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:37.840 exquisite is definitely a stretch for 00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:41.920 ten dollars the build quality on these things is surprisingly okay 00:01:40.479 --> 00:01:46.479 their lightweight deep and cushy ear pads and 00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:51.840 self-adjusting suspension style headband make for a comfy listening experience 00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:54.799 though they do get pretty warm while the 00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:59.920 long and it's weird it's kind of greasy feeling cable and included splitter make 00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:05.119 them convenient to use with your desktop phone or console there's an integrated 00:02:02.479 --> 00:02:08.640 volume wheel and mic which despite not having a boom 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 00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:18.800 roundup test test test this is the appy vibration gaming headphones microphone 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 00:02:21.440 --> 00:02:27.120 breathing leds you can't control them but hey 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 00:02:29.040 --> 00:02:35.440 contestant just because your headset is cheap 00:02:32.959 --> 00:02:40.239 doesn't mean it has to look cheap but the gd40s from headphone ninja 00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:46.080 definitely do both of those things they're made of ugly cheap plastic and 00:02:43.040 --> 00:02:47.840 crude pleather and they don't fit well 00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:52.720 even on their smallest setting they don't seal on my ears properly though if 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 00:02:55.200 --> 00:03:01.680 padded headband digs into your skull on the plus side they've got a 00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:05.519 semi-bendy-ish what they're calling blade style 00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:09.760 microphone that's a boom microphone if you're not a 00:03:07.519 --> 00:03:13.120 ninja in your spare time and a braided cable with an inline controller that 00:03:12.239 --> 00:03:18.159 just looks almost as stupid as it feels in 00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:24.239 your hands they actually sound okay but with all these other problems who 00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:27.440 honestly cares next up the sadie's sa708 00:03:24.239 --> 00:03:29.599 for 15.99 and wait a second are these 00:03:27.440 --> 00:03:35.200 things actually getting worse as the price goes up these things look more 00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:36.959 like pretend headphones for kids to play 00:03:35.200 --> 00:03:43.200 gaming team house rather than an actual product i mean 00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:43.200 just listen to that build quality 00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:48.959 and fit gets a big fat fail too if you 00:03:46.640 --> 00:03:53.280 have large ears these are on-ear headphones with hard uncomfortable 00:03:50.799 --> 00:03:56.720 padding and if you have small ears then they're 00:03:54.239 --> 00:04:00.720 sort of on-ear headphones with hard uncomfortable padding sound 00:03:59.200 --> 00:04:04.560 quality at least has been pretty consistent across the headsets we've 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 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 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 00:04:16.880 --> 00:04:24.080 controller as the last headset i guess at least it has 00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:26.800 emi shielding to ensure a good mood 00:04:24.080 --> 00:04:30.240 and to their credit the mic does conceal pretty nicely along with the rest of 00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:37.120 this thing in the garbage if your garbage can has a lid the somic 00:04:34.280 --> 00:04:43.199 g923 comes in white or black and advertises and not one but two places on 00:04:39.440 --> 00:04:44.479 the box a long hard microphone with high 00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:50.080 sensitivity ironically it's actually one of the few mics that stood out as especially quiet 00:04:48.400 --> 00:04:57.639 and distant sounding this is a test of the somic g923 stereo 00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:57.639 gaming headset at 17. 17.99 00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:04.160 to their credit they are not uncomfortable though the cups offer some 00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:07.360 articulation and the in-line controls are small and equipped with an 00:05:05.440 --> 00:05:12.400 appreciated clip but the build quality on this one is really bad like think how 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 00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:19.120 from your mouth and listen to the headband adjustment 00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:23.039 mechanism they also included this inexplicable 00:05:21.280 --> 00:05:26.880 plastic bag is this supposed to be a carrying case 00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:32.800 next up then is the beaxlint gm1 at 00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:37.600 19.99 tons of padding actually makes this one 00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:41.199 reasonably comfortable despite the rigid design 00:05:38.479 --> 00:05:45.759 and while it sounds grating in low quality the headband offers a lot of 00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:51.280 steps to help you find the right fit like the 10 headset this one also has 00:05:48.080 --> 00:05:54.320 leds but it's just static blue all day 00:05:51.280 --> 00:05:56.000 and it also has inline controls but it's 00:05:54.320 --> 00:06:00.160 one of those ones that hangs at an awkward length and the sound of it 00:05:58.080 --> 00:06:04.240 dragging across my clothes is definitely not invited to my next birthday party 00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:09.280 i'm afraid not even bill and ted would approve of this one next the twenty 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 00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:20.560 at least at first glance i can say positively that they are the first thing 00:06:17.520 --> 00:06:23.199 we've seen that comes close to 00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:26.800 premium feeling today with a soft touch finish braided cable and flexible boom 00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:32.319 mic but that beauty is only skin deep or in 00:06:29.840 --> 00:06:34.479 this case a flimsy piece of pleather deep 00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:38.960 the ribbon of metal in the headband digs into your 00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:42.800 head in a matter of minutes oh this thing 00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:48.639 sucks and the caliper pressure on these is unfortunately so low that small and 00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:53.280 medium noggin folks alike won't ever feel like they're really staying on 00:06:50.960 --> 00:06:58.240 making matters worse for some inexplicable reason they put the mute 00:06:55.600 --> 00:07:03.520 switch right on the mic meaning that you have to make a bunch of scuffling noises 00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:10.400 while you take off the included windsock every time you want to use it 00:07:06.880 --> 00:07:13.919 next we have the version tech g2000s 00:07:10.400 --> 00:07:16.720 which turned out to be the caution each 00:07:13.919 --> 00:07:20.880 whatever that means g2000s when they arrived and on the subject of 00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:24.960 inconsistencies while they do definitely feature analog connectivity as 00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:29.440 advertised on the box they're actually blue not orange 00:07:27.599 --> 00:07:33.280 they've got a super flexible headband though for when your mind gets blown 00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:38.319 watching Techquickie and after a break-in period for that stiff headband 00:07:35.599 --> 00:07:43.520 foam they would be pretty comfortable if the ear cups weren't so shallow that my 00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:47.680 ears were pressed against the for some reason convex covers on the drivers this 00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:52.160 is honestly enough of a deal breaker for me 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 00:07:54.240 --> 00:08:00.319 then sound quality is similar to the rest and the boom mic is in exactly the 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 00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:12.400 uh wait a minute what's this 00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:14.400 a recognizable brand the nsi ds-501 have 00:08:12.400 --> 00:08:19.440 better build quality than their red ranger glossy plastic suggests and are 00:08:17.039 --> 00:08:23.840 actually among the most light and most comfortable headsets in the roundup 00:08:21.120 --> 00:08:28.639 today and they sound alright too with ample bass without being too over the 00:08:25.919 --> 00:08:31.759 top though like the rest they do become pretty distorted and muddy at high 00:08:30.479 --> 00:08:36.479 volumes the mic boom pivots and bends which is 00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:40.880 really nice but with that said even correctly 00:08:38.640 --> 00:08:45.480 positioned the recording quality isn't the greatest 00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:47.200 this is a test of the MSI ds501s for 00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:52.240 24.99 bringing us finally to the stylish 00:08:49.680 --> 00:08:56.880 patriot viper v330s these guys have got a soft touch finish 00:08:54.560 --> 00:09:02.240 breathable fabric ear pads a nice ratcheting headband with a braided cable 00:08:59.200 --> 00:09:04.880 a nearly invisible fold away mic and 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 00:09:06.800 --> 00:09:13.440 roundup to come with a travel bag and even though it's pretty drek it's 00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:17.760 significantly better than the other one but with all that positive stuff said 00:09:15.440 --> 00:09:21.680 they're also the only set to stand out as overly tinny sounding they're not 00:09:19.920 --> 00:09:27.120 super comfortable and they are the most expensive one that we looked at today so 00:09:24.959 --> 00:09:30.640 which set do we recommend then as your new daily 00:09:28.880 --> 00:09:35.279 drivers well since they mostly all have 00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:41.760 comparable sound and mic quality it pretty much came down to comfort 00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:45.519 build quality and price which makes it 00:09:41.760 --> 00:09:47.279 really hard to beat the 10 aps whose 00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:51.600 multi-colored leds and construction put them way ahead in 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 00:09:54.880 --> 00:10:02.240 featured MSI's ds-501 does cost more but was 00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:07.279 significantly more comfortable to my noggin and then if you don't dig the 00:10:04.800 --> 00:10:10.800 suspension style headband i'd say go for the be excellent gm ones 00:10:10.800 --> 00:10:17.279 this episode was brought to you by tunnelbear the easy to use vpn app when 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 00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:27.040 now before you actually get properly connected to the internet 00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:32.720 and you can start browsing your device will actually start to send information 00:10:29.440 --> 00:10:35.360 about itself and what it wants to do to 00:10:32.720 --> 00:10:40.720 you know that hot spot in the airport and before you connect to your vpn 00:10:38.399 --> 00:10:44.640 all of this traffic is actually unencrypted so in the few seconds it 00:10:42.880 --> 00:10:48.959 takes to connect you've probably already broadcast your ip maybe a few dns 00:10:46.959 --> 00:10:53.760 requests or a search query vigilantbear from tunnelbear stops this 00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:58.320 by blocking all outbound and inbound traffic so nothing leaks out before you 00:10:56.399 --> 00:11:04.079 connect helping keep you private throughout your entire session and this 00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:09.519 is cool if your connection goes down for some reason vigilant bear will kick back 00:11:06.560 --> 00:11:13.920 in and stop all outbound and inbound traffic until the connection comes back 00:11:11.920 --> 00:11:18.399 so for a free trial of tunnelbear go to tunnelbear.com LTT we've got that linked 00:11:16.880 --> 00:11:23.519 below so thanks for watching guys if this video sucked
