mom I need to get a raise again you hit there oh my god I'm not gonna be a gamer if I don't have a gaming headset so I've been getting asked a lot about gaming headsets and I thought I'd share with you guys my recommendation since I have tried a lot of headsets I've tried gaming headsets I've tried audiophile headphones and I'm going to make this as a quick guide from $15 to one hundred and fifty dollars on how to make yourself a really good gaming headset so the first recommendation here is quite simply the KSC 75s go get yourself a pair of these even if you're an audiophile even if you have more expensive headphones like audio Technica's or something because then if you try these you'll know what kind of sound signature I like and now audio is a subjective thing some people like treble some people like mid some people like bass I like bass and mids a more of a warm sounding signature and these definitely provide a nice warm sounding signature there are only $15 and man they sound a lot better than even these razor carcases which are like four times the price so for $15 get these maybe get yourself an extension cable as well a one-meter extension cable and you'll have your head self a good pair of headphones to begin with now you're like well I need a mic to game with and that's where I'm going to start recommending this level here that I'm using right now so you guys can listen to the audio quality I'm recording this unedited this is just straight from my onboard audio I've actually been using this is my favorite go-to lavalier microphone and the best thing about it is it's only twelve dollars on Amazon so for literally less than $30 you can have a fantastic mic that you can also use for recording videos from your camera it actually mates really well with the comm board cameras ADC and it's just the actual quality of this mic it's better than my V mode of Boone pro as well it's better than any desktop mic I've tried for twelve dollars man is phenomenal value for money as well with this one get an extension cable as well I'd probably recommend a two-minute or extension cable if you're recording from the camera you're just using on a computer maybe a one meter extension cable will be fine for $30 this and this is the unbeatable combo in terms of value for money let's move on now you got a little bit of extra money to spend so let's step things up to maybe around about $50 so for $50 you can get yourself the is KS or the tax stars I believe they're called in there so different names for these things I'll put them in the description below but essentially what these give you in my opinion is the best soundstage for the money honestly these things when I saw them when I tried them on I managed the first first night I tried these on it got like a thirty to zero flawless in black ops 2 that's how good the sound stages for the money for $40 I mean actually paid $40 for these that I'm beatable in terms of soundstage for money they're not as good as of course like sennheiser HD 598 or Fidelio x ones or stuff like that but honestly for the money they do compete and they will give you an actual excellent spatial awareness when you're playing video games so especially if you're a competitive gamer that's what you're going to be looking for is spatial awareness and they certainly provide it they are a little bit bright though the treble is a little bit intense there are a little bit of bass anemic but honestly for $40 if you're a competitive gamer these are you go to headphone now again coupling it with a microphone I recommend getting this Sony level ear microphone for $12 honestly it's much better than the Zalman mech for an extra $3 you're going to be getting absolutely awesome microphone for the money that's not going to lack any words at all so you're probably thinking I want to step things up even further man I got a couple of hundred dollars I got 100 dollars to blow on some headphones well I've got two options for you guys and now this is where you start to get more of a unique headphone these are actually the HD v 9 5s I've just mutilated them now they've got the HD 5 9 8 so if you guys are after the best sound stage like some of the best sound stage you can get then these will give you that they're absolutely awesome so if you're a real competitive pro and you need the utmost best sound stage you can get or some of the best sounds that you can get then you'll want to check out the sennheiser HD 598 so the 595 they got really forward mids and the mids is where you're going to hear all those gunshots and those footsteps which is really important especially for FPS gamers so these headphones I have here these are my favorite headphone my new favorite headphone of all time they are the Fidelio L ones and now these honestly they deserve a review on themselves I just haven't had time to review them but I was will do a mini review here because honestly the comfort they just nail man they're so comfortable the sound is like wow you've got just such a good balance right you've got good base you got good meds and you got smooth treble now you don't have the best sound stage like the sound stage on these is going to be better than these also you don't have the best treble mids or bass like the mids on these is going to be better but what you do have is just such a warm smooth sound from these so if you like music and gaming then I'm going to simply recommend these they're just such an everything headphone they're so comfortable like every single song I've tried on these sounds good there's not one song that sounds bad on these so that's something that's really good about Fidelio l ones I really love these and now what I've done here for the microphones you if you want to step things up you can use the v-moda boom Pro now I'll actually switch over to this this is as you can see here you attach it on and it makes your headphones essentially a gaming headset all with one cable so this is $30 this is the B mode of burn Pro it's $30 and it'll essentially eliminate the need for two different cables so if you want to go if you want to step things up especially over $100 then I recommend you do go with the v-moda boom Pro option it will make less clutter though if you do want to make videos like I'm doing then get one of these as well the Sony lavalier microphone because I'll switch over to now to the v-moda boom Pro and we'll see how good it sounds okay so here's a quick test with the v-moda boom Pro this is a $30 attachment cable but yeah if you guys want a $30 mic then you can get one with this it eliminates the need for two cables you simply attach it to your headphones and you've got a crystal-clear microphone it does lack a little bit of warmth hence why I do recommend the actual Sony lavalier over the v-moda boom pro or anti from pretty much any microphone in the budget range but anyway guys this is about $30 so these headphones they're about a hundred and twenty-five dollars they actually discontinued they've released a new Fidelio l2 as well which I've heard and personally I prefer the L ones over the l2 s but without being said let's move on now to a conclusion so in conclusion there you have it guys you do not need to get a gaming headset so one thing I well lastly and finally say about a gaming headset is they are not all that bad like honestly people bash gaming headsets a lot but honestly the Razer cough case is they're not that bad it's just that they're not as good as the three head support in any of the headphones I've mentioned in these videos in terms of sound quality one thing they do get right though is that you've got a nice simple one cable for a mic and your headphones and yeah they're also really comfortable as well so I'm not going to be the guy who's bashing on gaming headsets because they are pretty good right and especially if you're not an audiophile and you don't really care too much then these will give you a fine audio honestly but for what it's worth if you guys are looking for the best sound for your money then these are some of my recommendations check them out KSC 75s absolutely amazing especially if you want a jogging headphone as well for $15 it's easy to replace this microphone $12 go check it out amazing value for money Fidel if you want to step things up $40.00 soundstage mic and then you've got here the HD five nine fives as well there your sort of great sound some of the best soundstage you can get and then you've got Fedeli oil ones just absolute balance so that's about it guys if you enjoyed this video please give it a thumbs up if you have any questions or comments then please leave a comment the conversation below and I will get back to you as soon as I can so there you have it that's the gaming headsets that I recommend I've tried a few different different headphones out there and lastly I will say Audio is very subjective some guy might like audio Technica's over the Fedele owes me personally I like the fidelia's over the audio Technica's so it just depends on who you are and that's the subjective thing and that's why I recommend getting a pair of KSC 75s because this sound signature this raw warm sound signature is essentially what I love from a headset and and you know if you get these and you've got audio Technica's for example give them a track try them for two weeks and then go back to your audio Technica's let your ears are just to these and see if you like them anyways I hope this helps I will catch you in another tech video very soon bye
