this video was brought to you by NCI X great technology selections and service hello everyone this is Dmitry with hardware conducts and today we've got another gaming headset on the review table this time from my onyx who are gaining popularity among gamers for their continued commitment towards functional and affordable peripherals so this is the Nash 20 and being priced at $130 there's a lot at stake here as we already have many established products for gaming audio from Sam Heiser Logitech Corsair coolermaster and now actually Kingston in the mix Plus this price point may turn off the casual gamer who is looking for that sub $100 piece the Nash 20 is simple in design with matte black rubberized coating that easily reveals all the handling marks and also on our sample started to peel on the headband I'm a little concerned of what the headset will look like after the coating starts to wear down in other parts of the product the my onyx logo embedded on each side is a nice touch Plus on top the headband as well so it's not flashy in any way the headset is quite light combine this with large rectangular and deep ear cushions and I found wearing the Nash 20 for a few hours without any complications the white headband helps in the comfort department with thick padding and my only complaint here would be the large and bulky format I'm not a fan of this direction and I hope my onyx takes this into consideration for their next design for example if the plastic housing for the ear cups wasn't as thick putting on my glasses with the Nash 20 was alright thanks to the thick padding and the headset is fairly flexible with some ear cup articulation and of course these ear size adjustable it feels like it could take some beating and I guess that's a good thing being gaming oriented auto consequently will be followed by inevitable peeling it connects through standard mic and headphone jacks with color tips and the cable is braided but not removable in being 2 metres in length I would rather see a provided extension with the shorter native cable on the headset to avoid unnecessary cable clutter the microphone is not the touchable it is low-profile however and is muted when in the upright position as you can hear it picks up my voice quite well although it isn't as clean as I'd like with quite a bit of noise we do have a volume wheel on the left ear cup so having this control directly on the headset is my preferred option instead of the very common dangling inline controls on the cord that are not as accessible so one comes to gaming performance I was actually surprised at how well the Nash xx handled the range I'm really happy to report these are not bass heavy in fact the low in region is well controlled for a gaming headset with just enough power to deliver full sound but without feeling overpowered this in turn leaves an undisturbed mid-range that can deliver that crystal detail of footsteps on the other side of the wall or enemy chatter with a good sense of scale of how far those enemy soldiers are the higher-end section needs a little adjustment to boost some of that siblings for a brighter and more detail sound but overall the Nash xx serve satisfactory for my gaming experience the warmth of the sound is just excellent for long gaming sessions without leaving ringing ears the 50 millimeter drive is really do an outstanding job with the large soundstage as well with good positional awareness plus they are angled inside the housing are providing proper audio direction these being semi-closed they do leak sound so keep that in mind also offer excellent isolation from your surrounding environment now riding the headset through some music I wasn't entirely happy with the lower base region opening of young and beautiful wasn't strong without hitting those sub bass notes Auto approved otherwise with mid bass and decent upper base and back to black and no charge in wild so the mid tones are reserved for enhanced soundstage in-game but in turn caused more distant vocals for music listening to all my love nightfall and a sky full of stars all head vocals move slightly behind the main instrument line that resulted in a somewhat congested sound that I did not appreciate so the Nash xx enters the gaming market with a lot of positives and I'm they say all the essentials have been covered such as comfort with great padding and perfect clamping force solid built quality mic mute when in the upright position volume dial right on headset and acceptable sound quality being gaming oriented with the large soundstage however the peeling coating non remove microphone and cables just subpar microphone quality and its bulky format all serve and major disadvantage considering the high price the Nash 20 is not a bad headset but to me it doesn't stand out within the gaming offerings and why they sound great I feel the overall package needs to offer more for the price you pay so that concludes our review of the Nash 20 from my onyx make sure you subscribe and like for more similar content as always thanks for watching we'll see you in the next one
