welcome back to tech yes City and today I am going to be finally doing a budget $50 or less headphones shootout for you guys a lot of people requested I do this a long time ago and I just I finally got around to it doing it now another thing I'm gonna say is there's also this big audio fad moving through the tech world and I'm jumping on the train as well but thing is I'm just gonna duel these audio videos and then I'm just gonna slash quit audio again and get back to the good juicy tech stuff I've done all the research for it I've come to a lot of conclusions that just got to make a lot of videos and get all that information out there for you guys now but today we're going to be reviewing six contenders and they're all priced at $50 or less and now for the testing mythology I am using the onboard audio as I believe if you're getting a headset at this price range you're most likely going to be using it with the onboard audio now for reference 10 out of 10 we're gonna be using the Fidelio x ones as a 10 out of 10 reference so how do these compare to the Fidelio x ones in terms of clarity and soundstage and stuff like that but let's look at the contenders first also I'm gonna have a bit of background music in the background so let me know if you guys like that I'm gonna try some new things out so let me know if you like the background music as well but anyway let's get on with the contenders first up we had the le com $9 bargains special now these are $9 you'd probably expect them to sound nasty and I'll get onto them whether they do later next up in line we had the razor carcases from razor these or a gaming headset come with a mick and they actually don't look too shabby so these are about $50 I believe next we have inline the is K 83,000 s now these will set you back about $30 they are a relatively unknown brand and I wanted to test some unknown brands because I wanted to get some different impressions and I wanted to do see if there was any winners out there in this head bracket headphone in the $50.00 market next up we have the JT s5 three 5s from a company called JT s relatively unknown company as well these are only $20 so I'll be talking about these as well and then we have the audio technica Pro mark ones from their DJ portable head and I'll talk about these as well and then last in line we have the KSC 75 s from costs now these are a clear winner and I'll talk about these at the end they're the winner of today's shootout they're the winner but I'll talk about that I've been deaf there's also another two winners and I'll talk about them as well mention whether they're winners but let's get on with the first pet a pair of headphones or headsets this is the abomination for nine dollars these things sounded absolutely terrible they're wood junk when I when I put this on I never heard a sound this bad before they even sounded worse more worse than my Toyotas or my old car which had a hole in the speaker that's how bad these sounded the bass was just distorting the midst sounded muffled you know you could barely hear voices were barely audible with this thing so I mean this thing was advertised for Skype sure I mean it could do Skype the kid just it was junk I'm not gonna recommend this at all if you have nine dollars seriously save your money do not go avoid these things like the plague next up we have the razor carcase gaming headset now I know some people like it's pronounced carcass or whatever I I've never used the word in my life so again I do sorry if I pronounced it wrong but these are a gaming headset and now as you guys know the gaming headsets they're not the audio quality is not as good as an audiophile headphone and that's fair enough but I will after hearing those $9 junk headphones I will say one thing about these and that is they don't sound that bad I mean if someone gave these to me and they said look you know you can have these and I didn't have anything else around my house I could get by with these they're actually really comfortable these weigh in at 220 grams roughly and that's what the microphone and the cable attached so they are really comfortable 10 out of 10 for comfort long gaming sessions on these things absolutely no problems there's I think that there's semi-open yeah they're open headphones as well so you can hear what's going on outside there's a little bit of sound leakage and the microphones pretty bad but it works everything on these headphones works headset works it is feature pay it's gotten you know it's got the clip here which lets you adjust the volume and mute the mic if you need to the mics also swivel so you can take it up and down and ultimately if functionality this thing is actually good you know coughed comfort and functionality this thing gets a 10 out of 10 it's not it's really good the designs also pretty cool I said the sound quality is just not that good and the mic quality is pretty bad as well but I'd give these about a four and a half out of ten five out of ten for audio I mean that the base is not detailed at all the mids are a bit muddy the highs are a bit muddy but you know they work so I mean if you want something and you don't care about sound too much but you want something that works then I can recommend these they're not that bad I mean if you can pick them up on a fire sale and you want a boom mic and you want these this clip thing it's not they're not that bad I've really been a bit too harsh on these you know these sound like a saint compared to those nine dollar pieces of junk so they're not bad so but they're not a winner today they're not a winner they're definitely not a winners anyway let's move on now to the next pair of headphones these are the eighty-three thousands from isk now these are a winner in today's competition I'll be doing a review of these for you guys they're a relatively unknown brand from ISK I've never heard of them before I saw them and now a $30 and they weigh in the same as the racecar cast the way aren't 220 grams except in my opinion these would conflict score 11 out of 10 these are the most comfortable headphones I've ever put on my head in my life Wow god damn phenomenal design for that these guys really deserve kudos for making that just an amazing comfortable design I mean maybe it's just my head they might be more uncomfortable on different heads but for my head Wow really freaking comfortable good thing about these as to is they're closed if you need a closed back set of headphones like if I'm if everything's noisy outside I need to listen to things put these on and I won't hear much noise outside they also don't leak hardly any noise at all so they're really good in that regard if you need a closed back headphone comfort amazing let's talk about sound seeing another thing too is the cable is a straight cable I do like the straight cables I'm not a fan of the coiled cables and I'll talk about that when I mean look at a coiled cable headphone but yeah the sound signature of these let's talk about the sound signature they're a bit flat the base isn't really there the mids not really there the highs aren't really there is just a flat headphone the clarity is pretty good though I got to admit the mids and the highs they've got pretty good clarity they're low sensitivity so on the onboard audio when I turn it up to 100 they'll still kind of lacking a little bit so when I hooked them up to the o2 plus my creative Z I noticed that they came a little bit more to life and they had a bit more balls and they could pay it play the sound they're really cool when I hooked them up to that amplifier so I don't I liked these headphones I mean I like them I can recommend them for $30 even at a hundred volume I mean that's comfortable listening levels maybe it's just a little bit deafening if you go with a headphone amp but yeah a hundred that were good so that they're doable these things are cool I like them I can recommend them ok let's move on now to the next headphones these are the JT s5 three 5s now company called JT as I've never heard of them either before these are a studio monitor headphone and they I mean they they're comfortable I wouldn't say they're as comfortable as the 83 thousands or the calf cases but I can see you can do definitely do long gaming sessions on these there it's weird though that the force kind of tends to clamp around sort of here so they kind of sit a little bit loose on your ears a little bit it's weird they're kind of semi open as well so you'll be able to hear a little bit of noise coming in and they won't leak as much as an open back headphone so they're kind of a balance and now there's one really good thing about these these are another winner and I'm gonna tell you why the sound signature of these is pretty cool for 20 dollars they have one thing that none of my other headphones have in my house and that is their seismic these things Rumble when you put enough power through them they started rumbling and it's really for me I love it it's immersive I like a bit of Rumble so I've now got a fun rumbling pair of headphones house so even if you guys are on a budget and you kind of want a fun headphone these are definitely it now let's talk about the bass the bass obviously is nowhere near as good as the Fidelio x1 it's not as the clarity is not as good the detail and the bass not as good but the bass is there when I played Katy Perry's song raw that was really cool for these headphones I thought it sounded the best on these headphones is just cool it's a lot of fun they rumbled you kind of you can hear the tiger and it's like everything's rumbling like yeah this is awesome so it was a really fun feeling the mids and the highs were a little bit muffled but they were smooth this was ultimately a smooth headphone for anyone who wants a smooth sounding headphone I can highly recommend these if you and your a little bit bass orientated so these are a bit of AB AC headphone and I do like them and they are they hold a special place around here because they're seismic now one negative thing is though that you've got the coiled cable I'm not a fan of the coiled cable because it's more for a DJ in my opinion I mean you've got the DJ at the mixing table they've got it plugged in and you know they're close to their plug so they don't really need they can use the cable and when they need to reach things they can just pull it out occasionally and then it comes back in and it's good I mean it's good for a DJ but when I've got this on my desktop and I'm plugging it into my desktop it's like I've got this constant freaking force that I got to pull against this way yeah oh yeah tug of war on my freaking head so I'm not a big fan of the cloud cable I don't like it there is a way to get out of that though you can kind of hook this to your chair and be a bit of a ninja and then sort of stretch it out that's probably like a good way to fix it when you just cut the freaking thing off and wire up your own cable if you want to but yeah for $20 these definitely get a good recommendation that's they also wait they're pretty lightweight as well so they weigh a little bit they're a little bit heavier than the car chaos and the 83 thousands but you know the comforts still there so good headphone by jts the audio technica pro mark ones these are a portable DJ headphone now the sound signature of these is that they got nice tight punchy bass and they're also pretty I guess bright they've got a I guess a boost in the treble I think I don't know I'm not too sure but then ultimately the sound signature for me was a little bit it didn't have body I guess that's the way to describe it it was kind of missing something especially for rock if I listen to rock it exposed the real weakness in these headphones and that is it just didn't have much warmth to it they're a cold headphone in my opinion now they the one thing good thing about these is that they do look pretty damn cool I think a lot of people have been asking me what this what are these headphones they look pretty cool and I agree they do look pretty cool the comfort though the comfort you're a gamer I do not recommend these because after a long amount of time they kind of on your ears they start to press and your easel get sore that's one thing that's bad about these we're talking long gaming sessions about two hours or so is about is fine when we start venturing into the four hour sessions that's when they start to get sore and tiring they got a coiled cable as well which I don't like but ultimately they're not bad if you can pick these up and you want a portable set of headphones and you occasionally game then I couldn't recommend these as well they're pretty cool just know that they're kind of I think they're called headphone okay now lastly we're gonna move on now to the KSC 75s these word the clear winner today out of all the headphones I want to save the best till last because when I first read about these everyone was recommending and saying look these things are good and I kind of got them and I thought it's a little bit cheap but then I weighed them they weigh 30 grams so they're pretty damn light they weigh 30 grams I started the audio Technica's are about the same weight as the jts 5 3 5 s about 200 cm anything but these weigh 30 grams and they're really comfortable you put them on your ears and they definitely score a 10 out of 10 for comfort once you clip them in to your ears they they sit on your ears really well there so they're comforted they're great for exercising if I'm going for a jog I wear these things and they just are amazing I love them better than earphones and I am they're just really cool they sit on your ears good for the gym now the cables a little bit short but if you get a 1 meter extension that's not gonna be a problem but let's talk about the best thing of these headphones they're only $16 these headphones are clip-on it's only 16 dollars or 15 dollars I got them for $15 and Wow Wow the sound signature of these things is phenomenal you've got that nice bump in the mids they've got a little bit of bass there they just sound phenomenal with rock the best earphones I have here for rock I mean and I've got the Fidelio X ones actually they're the same as my ghetto highs as I put them on the same level as my ghetto houses they sound better for rock than my $300 Fidelio x ones I mean that says a lot about these KSC 75 now the soundstage is not obviously as good as the X ones or my ghetto houses but the soundstage is decent and so if you're a gamer on the budget I can highly recommend these because you got that bump in the mid that's if you're a gamer you're gonna want that because you got the you've got the gunfire and the footsteps and the voice is all coming out in the mids so that's where you want that bump and this is where it has it now if you're if you love rock and metal as well these things are gonna be for you absolutely phenomenal I really can thoroughly recommend these things they are freaking awesome $15 I was damn impressed the one that I mean another negative is at the build quality is a little bit weak so I can you know they they do break relatively easy so they are a little bit fragile but I mean for God for $16 they just pooped on everything here I couldn't believe it they were just that good so honestly case cost did a absolutely phenomenal job with these headphones these clip ons and I can recommend these these are the winner today and I'll be redoing a review of these the JTF 535 s and the 83,000 for you guys and I hope you enjoyed the budget headphones shootout today and if you have any
