Probably not, because it's a brand new category of kind of crazy gaming headphones. And if you weren't sure that this is a gaming headphone, well, look at the box. It's the Havit Game Note Fuksy H8 Gaming Open Headphone Stereo. Tailored for gaming, create for game. And this logo right here, this logo right here. Listen, if these suck, I think the Toronto Raptors have reason to sue. Okay, have it. I've never heard of them before and probably you haven't either because I guess this is a Kickstarter. And also they've a winner of several design awards. We got the Muse design award, the CMF design award, a red dot winner 2025. But note that none of these are headphone awards. So our mileage may vary. Let's get in here. Wow. Okay. Pretty nice inboxing experience. We got like magnets in the box. We got some nice uh shiny embossed lettering. Our fuksy hate. Whoa. Stinkers like Kratos >> boy. >> What these are to make them not open. They call them ear muffs, but I guess they go like in the hole. What this is? What the hell? They make so much stuff. I have never heard of these these guys, but apparently they make suitcases. And a full automatic umbrella, which I don't know what that means. This is like pretty nice foam, too. Wow, these are looking worrisomely expensive. And here we have the headphones themselves. Okay. Yes, these are literally the exact same thing that I saw at CES. No, Computex just last year. And the show floor is never a good place for audio products to make a good impression. But when I heard something like these, they did not make a good impression. They sound like, but we also didn't have our ear muffs. Also included with the headphones are braided cables, a USBC to C of length that shall appear on screen. A C2 combo headphone jack, which is about the same length. We also have a C2A. This is a lot of cables in here. And we have a boom arm microphone that is bendable. It's three poles. Usually it's it would just be a mono connector. That's interesting. And we get a wireless adapter that comes in the form of a split off USBC adapter and a female USBC to male USB A. You should have no problems connecting to this assuming you bring all the cables with you. They did forego any sort of like carrying case which is kind of a bummer because if you have all these cables and accessories that you might want to bring around with you, you think you want a little bit more than a plastic bag. But SA V, look at these. These are so strange. So unlike your typical headphones which would have a full structure around the ear cup, these are open in the fact that there's no kind of inner seal for your ear. Typically when you're talking about like an open back headphone, that means that behind the driver there is access to open space or air. Whereas a closed back headphone has a more closed off but usually somewhat vented back kind of cover that allows for usually a better bass response as well as better noise isolation. These forego both of them, which is, you know, cool, but sometimes you got to wonder why no one's done something before. Maybe because it's a bad idea. The ear cups are made of like a silicone material. They're like inflated. They're not there's no cushion in here. There's like they're like air, which is an interesting choice. And the headband at the top has a kind of foam-like material under a very plasticky feeling faux leather. Ear the earup extension is notched. So, we have a little bit of tactile feedback. Honestly, doesn't go that big. So, maybe if you have a if you have very large heads, you might be worried. Another thing I'd be worried about is these wires that are just going through these channels here and are completely exposed to the elements. I could see these getting caught on things by accident or just wearing out a lot sooner than you'd expect. Earups have a swivel and tilt and can lay fully flat for transport, though they don't shrink down any further than that. On the left ear cup is where we have our controls as well as our mic input. We have a power button, a mute button, a keyed mechanism for our microphone to hopefully get it to lock in a little bit better and not just make it proprietary. I think it's just to make it proprietary. It's also got a weird square shape that kind of feels like it's intentionally made so that you can't just shove in any sort of microphone that you want, which is a bit annoying. You got your USBC. We got a power button and a volume up and down. The buttons feel fine. They claim six connection modes and I'm trying to do that math right now because we have wireless 2.4 GHz. We have Bluetooth. We would have our USBC as a potential audio. Then I guess are they counting the USBA as a another way of doing audio. Okay, we found the we found the answer on the back of the box here. 2.4G type-C 2.4G USBA Bluetooth 3.5 mm audio cable. Type-C USB audio cable. Type-C type-C audio cable. It's not six connection modes. It is just different connections. Let's turn Let's turn them Let's turn them on. Dude, it is weird to have the sensation of like headphones on and then like actually like it's there's not like >> You look good though. Like you could >> I look good. Thank you. >> Can you see my ears? >> Nice. >> Who is this for? >> Yeah. I don't know who asked for this. Nobody in the world was like like maybe if it's like if you're like in a hot very warm country and your ears get sweaty and you don't you don't have AC good AC where you game. Okay. Honestly, the noise isolation is present. >> Do you want us to make some sounds? >> Gossip about me. >> Dude, this guy like I like >> gaming mode. >> Okay. Did you hear that? >> Gaming mode. It's the most low bit rate included audio I've ever heard on a headset. >> Spatial sound. >> Spatial sound. Oh, right. So, that's a big feature on these. These have spatial audio support, which I think in 2026 everyone collectively goes, \"Who cares?\" I the idea of having like immersive surround sound, sure. Sure, that's fine. That's cool. But the like pretend that your display's there and you turn your head and it sounds like this, no one wants that. And even then, spatial audio mostly just kind of sucks. Especially when it comes to spatial music. I just don't care, man. I just don't care. But what I do care about is telling you about our sponsor, Razer. The Iser V2 new gen gaming chair is made with their cool touch technology for breathable and peel resistant leather as opposed to traditional PU leather chairs. And the cold cured foam keeps you comfortable for those long gaming sessions. Stay supported in every position with Razer's proprietary Hyperflex lumbar support and its 360° design that adjusts up, down, in, and out for ultimate support. Engineered for ergonomics, crafted for comfort. Check out Razer's new Isker V2 new gen chair using our link down below. >> When you have these headphones on, are you afraid of somebody coming up and putting their finger in your ear? >> They won the red dot award for most wet willyable headphone. Have you ever been reverse wetwied? When someone sticks their finger in their ear and puts it in your mouth. Do it to your friends. They'll find it hilarious. Okay. How do I make this pair? >> Bluetooth mode. It's working on It's working via dongle mode. calls it dongle mode, too. It says Bluetooth mode. Dongle mode is It's not connected. Is it? It sounds like it's coming from my phone, which is a bad sign. It's doing the stupid It's the stupid kind of spatial sound. It's now in my left ear. It's now in my right ear. No one wants this. Straight to hell. Spatial sound. Straight to hell. What is something that these might sound good with? This is max volume. That actually doesn't sound like it's that loud. >> It's not. >> Okay. >> It's not. When I was in junior high, Bluetooth speakers, they really like weren't so easy to come by. But you did have like your phone and and what you could do is that you could take the bottom of your phone and you could put it in like a cup and then you could make and that would make it like a lot louder for the room. That's basically what these sound like. Like there is no redeeming quality to this at all. They have no bass. They have terrible distortion, no detail in the highs. They make some They make the voice of Rosalia sound like garbage. They have no spatial depth. These are like direct to landfill quality. This is the kind of thing that I would expect to find at the liquidation center that gets the stock of the stuff that didn't sell at the dollar store. This is like an insult. And the fact that any of these companies decided to give it an award clearly means that all of these are pay for awards because there's nothing redeeming about these except for the fact that they are doing something different. But if you're doing something different, you should also maybe consider doing something good. Cuz you guys want to see something different that's different and it's not good. But I'm gonna pay somebody to give me an award for that so I can put on my box. This is This is literally I think the worst thing I've ever heard on this channel. >> Do you want to try with a >> Let me talk. Let's talk through this. No, I'm not going to try. It does not matter. >> It's crazy you're getting this heated because the airflow in the ear should really be keeping you. >> Yeah, we could. Let's do the microphone. Maybe it's the best sounding microphone of all time. Recording. Also an incredibly bright blue LED. Really going to annoy you if you're gaming at night. Apparently it has noise cancelling. So maybe if you can make like you want to like crinkle make some noise you like. >> This is a test of the Havit Creek H8. >> Credit where credit's due. It's a good microphone cuz you guys were decently noisy. It was not that distracting and the overall audio quality was actually pretty solid. So they did one thing right. Okay. Going to see which one sounds better. >> Some noise. be like, >> \"Does this sound as bad as the headphones themselves? We'll find out.\" >> Granted, I guess these are supposed to go on a head, but like there's literally no when these don't seal, there's literally no difference between holding a speaker close to your ear and holding your phone speaker close to your ear because there's no seal. They don't control any of the audio. Now, if you can tolerate the sound of these for a long period of time, they promise up to 30 hours of non-stop gameplay.
