Huna guys it's ravage consumer and I get a lot of questions about whether it's worth it or not to pick up a gaming headset if you already own a pair of regular headphones and while I feel like I kind of know the answer to this I figured it'd be a pretty cool idea to get the opinions of a few more people so we're going to see what five different people have to say and some of them you might know oh god oh why are you doing this this is not a very easy game oh man not like any of these oh just kidding we'll have to go holy meme oh yeah so here's what they did they each played a different game first with a general pair of headphones I decided we use the v-moda m100 not only because they have awesome sound quality but because they also sell a boom mic for gamers which would be perfect for this test so then we switch throughout the m-104 the a 50s and went back to the em 100 after using it and their reactions to trying out the 850 for the first time it's pretty telling first of all interesting oh wow I didn't hear that before let me have the menu the car running that's interesting oh I hear her dying I didn't hear that before like in I'm looking to be here going like ah I didn't hear that you there's like a heartbeat sound when you're inside this capsule I didn't notice that's the first time they can instantly tell the difference and there's actually a pretty common theme well uh stepping is not weak clearance to me no but I hear a little more tinny voices with the be announced just talking which actually makes them a little clearer and you do to hear I hear more sounds clearer to me like I hear the I definitely heard the crowd better and the impact better and I hear the water droplets here I didn't hear no before look at that yeah I will do that though I can hear the snow falling more heavily than I do before it definitely sounds like really really clean so things like everyone was able to pick up on the smaller sound effects and the details of their environment with the a 50s like snowfall raindrops on thumbs and footsteps they also felt like they had a more immersive experience ah thank you I mean it was like super easy like honestly no no oh my god she's like they're actually shooting angry Joe stop I definitely feel like I'm there more than I did with the other pair headphones oh just because of the way it sounds um like you it feels more really as it's rating actually says I got in the game it just felt way more realistic and just make symptoms a lot of gaming headsets nowadays are designed to make sure you get locked in the sauce of everything we feature is like virtual surround sound 3d audio it's easier to feel like you're a part of the game and kind of know what's going on around you harsh like a whistle in I hear huh you know you can like tell how far away the people on your team are because you can you can tell they're like running up to the side of you and I think it's these kind of features that enhance the overall gaming experience compared to a regular pair of headphones since they don't have these features as they weren't built for gaming bad shows that was actually in the game like when I died in this I just died but when I was in the a shows area hey but the general consensus around the players who didn't have as much gaming experience was that they couldn't tell that much of a difference um it's not that much that much of a difference to me I could hear the sounds like the engine is clearer I heard like so slight like effects of the rain drops and stuff and in the crowd at the side but it's not that big of a difference I don't really hear much of a difference to be honest if I weren't listening for I wouldn't notice this could be because they have less gaming experience and aren't looking for sounds that can possibly give them an advantage or it could be a coincidence I will say that in 2k the main difference you're hearing between these two headphones is just in the different drivers different sound quality I have a feeling that in a more immersive game like a driving game a shooter something where there's things to the left and right of you and behind you you can actually take advantage of something like surround sound you're hearing more things with these these are a little bit flatter a little closer to music listening and that's basically it I thought they were very good husbands but see other ones the blue ones I had on we're slightly louder like the little effects of different jobs I would hear better in the gaming headset with games like this we're getting to the point where graphics aren't getting that much better they're just at such a peak level so now the way to really bring you into a game is the sound to feel like it and when a game has a great sound like this it it really makes a big difference okay so I make a point if I were to game definitely want to use the gaming headset because I'm sure if I really the game I'd want to hear all those the speaks masters you go out and buy a gaming headset I think if you're a hardcore gamer or someone who wants an all-in experience absolutely but like with most things in the tech world if you don't know there's a higher quality version out there you're probably going to get along just fine with what you have so like I said the gaming headset is a nice bonus offer some really cool features depending on which one you get not to mention most headphones don't come with that boom mic options like the V motive but they do have like usually those inline remotes with the mic included pretty good for answering calls and having a phone conversation but might not be up to snuff for an actual gamer but I think that about wraps it up guys hopefully you enjoyed this video huge shout out to everyone who participated in this little test and I'll catch you guys in the next one if you enjoyed it be the cool guy girl like this video thumbs up I'll see you then peace I'm hearing the announces almost behind me that's loud the crowd is loud you want to know that yeah so let's
