These Gaming Headphones Blew Me Away...

2016-11-08
hey what's going on tech fans welcome back once again to the channel Elric here with buddy the dog bringing you guys a brand new review of some headphones from the people at audio technica and we're actually using the microphones in the ag-1 X right now as we're talking so with the intro everything that you're hearing is off this microphone and we'll show you a little bit later on the game have this super cardioid condenser microphone works really well keeps out all the outside sound and makes it really great for talking in-game we're just using to dictate stuff so with that said let's jump in and let's check out the details in these headphones and see at the end of the day with you be willing to spend that $300 that these suckers cost alright folks so here we have them in my hand the ag-1 X the latest thing from Audio Technica now right off the bat these guys say that these are isolation headphones and I got to say it does work that way because if you're playing your game and musics on it's really hard to hear anybody even yelling in the background at you when Jesus is playing the game and I was trying to hit him I had to actually physically hit him to get him to realize I was talking to him when I put the headphones on and I turned the music on and somebody's yelling at me at the same time I couldn't hear it either and I the same thing happened to me so I want to you know get that right out there now these things are totally designed according to them for gaming but I'm gonna tell you right the bat before even delved into the video that these things are actually much more than just gaming headphones and at least they don't try to tell you that they're 5.1 7.1 and throw that at you and try to you know cop into that game these are just great 2.1 headphones I say 2.1 because the bass is all reproduced inside here with the 53 millimeter drivers now inside of each of these things is a 53 millimeter driver and the 53 millimeter driver is actually add an angle you guys can see that and that brings the sound reproduction to your ears a little bit different that when it's straight out and like I said before the bass is actually inside of here so all the airflow goes inside of the cups and then comes out to the drivers giving you extreme bass in fact that of almost all the gaming headphones I've ever seen the bass on these is like ba-ba-ba-boom and you guys can see as I sit here and twist the freaking frack out of these things they are very and I mean very flexible when you put them on your head honestly you can barely even feel them at all these two cups right here they kind of grab the way love the headphone and so when they're sitting on your head all you really kind of feel is just those two things sitting in your head extremely lightweight now they feature a closed back dynamic design and what that is that means that this entire thing surrounds your ear when you put them on you're completely enclosed and that's kind of where the isolation comes in now many headphones out there that we've tested and senior you guys see they have a little button it says Oh turn on the isolation okay it's like a mechanical little kind of bullcrap trick these aren't isolation in that way whatsoever these are isolation is that when you put these damn things on they cup your frakkin ears and you can't hear anything outside of what's going on and let's the volumes off and that's pretty cool one thing I got to really talk about to the microphone super cardioid directional microphone now you guys who are musicians out there and stuff you know what that means that means that this microphone only picks up what's being directed into it so it doesn't matter if you've got sounds in the background going on a fan going on this won't pick it up and it only engages when you talk into it that's one of the absolute best features and the fact that you can move it around the goosenecks completely flexible in any direction just makes it a very flexible tool for when you're in your game and you want to talk to people live now me myself I'm kind of new to going in there and talking a lot of crap my son's good at it Jesus is good at they've been do it there are newer generation I you just play my game keep my mouth shut and still sometimes you know type something in there you know like a guy's thanks but I admit the microphone is a lot a lot easier now we talked about sound reproduction the 53 millimeter driver that's inside of these things produces a wide variety of frequencies five Hertz all of it to thirty five thousand Hertz I mean that's major flexibility and the fact that that are only really you know 2.1 headphones or 2.0 if you want to really be SuperDuper technical none of that fake crap like they do the five point one seven point once you guys all go do they're not true yeah they don't even waste their time doing that and there's no thing that comes in because they don't do that these can double not only is your gaming headphones you can take them right into your recording studio and I have the 80 hm 50 headphones I've been using them for a very long time I say like almost my entire life music because it seems like I've had the things forever in one form or another and they work really nice very flat these really really SuperDuper nice now here you guys can see some shots geez in game he's playing around he's going around in that to overwatch game and kicking some ass in there and talking and it seems to work really great we heard no complaints about whatsoever and you guys saw in the intro that we use that as well and we'll use it again so the microphone on here is very high quality so I know a lot of people just go oh man I know audio yeah but these cover a lot of ground they just do it it's really hard for me to like talk about him as a trainer dog because I know $300 is like a lot of money for people to have headphones you know real quick though let's see how the audio sounds just through a microphone and see what you guys think so let's do a little rocking and talking right now and let's check out some music real quick both of the input cables are also gold-plated so they're gonna get great sounds even better than copper even better than silver it's gold and to control these headphones it's very simple you have a control right here so you can troll your audio volume mic on and off and all that right from this now one thing about this though is that this is probably what breaks the most on almost all gaming headphones and headphones that have these things because for some reason these pieces go bad now we'll see how long these last but hopefully it won't be the caveat and you know they Cleese he'll like I've seen it a lot of other brands hopefully we don't see that you also get a 20-foot extension cable so if you're playing ps4 games Xbox or whatever you can plug right in also you know it works with all your smart phone device and all that stuff I guess even with the new Apple phone if you get an adapter many people buy things strictly on looks now if you're one of those people that does that you're gonna really like the looks of these cans because you can see they're really beautiful and it does seem like the theme these days almost everywhere is black and red black and red AMD Aizu safaris they all share the black and red color scheme and guess what so do these the red on here though is actually pretty badass as you guys can see in a close-up shot this red is badass I actually want to paint one of my guitars this color whatever scarlet red color it is it is freakin badass and I want to paint a guitar the same color to make it match as far as the comfort level goes the pads that go around your ears are as soft as a baby's butt you know I'm saying they're just really soft and when you put them on your ears you get no I don't want to call it like maybe a friction burn or not a friction burn but friction irritation finish them you know in gaming for a long time you don't get that whatsoever never at all is there any kind of discomfort so comfort level on these things is actually really nice the design is cool you don't have to worry about putting it you know on the on the wrong side because look it simply tells you right and left so you don't have to screw up that makes your life much simpler but I just gotta say overall folks I know that you guys are freaking on the price but there's just some pretty badass headphones all right so there you have it the AG 1x headphones and people over at Audio Technica and I have to say though that for gaming if you're just going out there looking for strictly a set of gaming headphones I honestly think that $300 is a lot of frickin money I mean it just is but there's something I gotta say like all of my life practically at least for the last few years since I've been doing stuff for music I've been using the 8 ehm fifty headphones and those things work really good you know let me see what the heck I did with them I had them here so I usually use these and these things are about a hundred and sixty-nine dollars and they're really good they sound great these headphones though for doing audio mixdown I'm gonna tell you they sound better I was quite shocked so not only are these headphones good for doing the gaming the microphone is actually really excellent friend game if your person doesn't want to go out and spend a whole bunch of money buying two different sets of high-end headphones these are good now for true audio files that people will go out and buy my Kitaj amps and all that you'd laugh at all these headphones you'd be like because the headphones you're wanting you're like you're gonna being like sixteen hundred bucks but let's be face it most of us don't have that kind of money we'd have to be like you know rich which I'm not either so well I gotta say at the end of the day if you've only got $300 and you want to have headphones that can do both great gaming and work inside your audio studio you don't want to spend any more money these are very very excellent I give them editor's choice however for pure gaming $300 no unless you're just like the uber gamer who's got extra money to throw around you're like yeah it I can buy whatever I want you might want to look at something else but like I said if you're a person who likes entry-level audiophile stuff stuff that has really nice sound quality now these are 50 ohm headphones like some of the audio files out there would probably want to use a headphone amplifier using these I would just suggest just plugging them in anything but one thing cool about these that I think is cool for gamers though is that though things you can do is you can play with your ps4 it doesn't advertise that you can play with the Xbox one but I'm gonna imagine if you can use your ps4 you can use your Xbox one I guess just a Microsoft didn't want to pay for that advertisement on the packaging so for PC Xbox you know ps4 these things are great they complete 20 foot long cord all the talking and game and stuff is really good you're gonna really like that aspect about it these are very good headphones I just don't think at the end of day like I said people are gonna pay $300 from unless they got the money but if you're doing two things at once like I said doing audio and using them for gaming they're definitely a solid win we'll have links down below I want to hear your guys's comments like always and what you guys have to say about it I know it's very hard to totally reproduce the audio things and bring it to you but we tried doing this you saw earlier in the video we put a microphone in let you hear it and it's just very very clear as far as music wise like in the studio right like I said the a th M 50s they're really nice they're kind of more flat these ones have a big huge cyst sound it just when you put these headphones on if you can go out and try them anywhere you'll see that these things have just a huge big amount of sound inside of the cans that makes it very very nice so I mark you guys have been watching techo tomorrow hope you like this vid there's a like button you know what to do if you like it if not hey leave a comment tell me why you did and we'll try to improve and we'll see you guys back from the channel for more vids and just like the intro hey all this audio was recorded through this mic base
