great-sounding game or headphones for 25
0:02
bucks let's check these out behind you
0:11
behind you oh man
0:13
Oh Dave Taylor here and checking out
0:17
these these are the album a six stereo
0:20
gaming headset and they're really nice
0:23
very nice sound super comfortable great
0:25
microphone groovy light-up feature how
0:29
can you not like this right and it works
0:31
for the ps4 the ps4 Pro the Xbox one the
0:35
switch you can use it with your PC and
0:38
it comes with an adapter as needed and
0:40
you can kind of use it with your Mac I
0:42
had sort of mixed results with that
0:43
because you definitely need the adapter
0:45
but mostly this is a gamer headset for
0:48
people that are hardcore into gaming and
0:50
hopefully doing better than I did and
0:52
here's the thing is that just because
0:55
they are actually not expensive doesn't
0:57
mean they don't sound really good they
0:59
actually have a 15 millimeter of
1:01
graphene drivers 32 mm headphones with a
1:04
hundred and ten decibels of sensitivity
1:06
gives you really nice sound it's right
1:09
surprising and there's plenty of bass
1:11
and more importantly there's a lot of
1:13
like soundstage is a big spatial sense
1:16
to these so if you're playing a game and
1:18
there's a plane paying for thank you or
1:21
someone yelling on your left or
1:22
something you can tear that and you can
1:25
identify what location they're at which
1:27
is super important for gaming really
1:29
like these they also have some noise
1:31
canceling features mostly I found that
1:34
that was just because they had the big
1:35
earpieces they're very comfortable with
1:37
that suspended sort of head piece there
1:40
that stretches and it just fits I mean
1:43
you just put them on and they're super
1:45
comfortable honestly they're more
1:47
comfortable than most of the headphones
1:48
that I wear and they have the built-in
1:50
microphone with the cool blue little
1:52
light there and that obviously is easy
1:54
for you to adjust that to get it just
1:56
where you want where you can actually
1:58
then say hide you dude behind you and
2:01
you can actually not have to yell all
2:03
the time and it actually has some anti
2:05
noise circuitry in it to make sure that
2:06
it works well and as I said spatial
2:09
sense they call it surround sound I just
2:11
call it a spatial sense which is
2:13
nice and here's one other really cool
2:15
feature is in-line it's kind of a clumsy
2:18
inline controls but big but it has
2:20
volume and it has the mute on/off for
2:23
the microphone so when your mom comes
2:25
and says honey are you wanting some
2:28
cookies or are you gonna have dinner
2:30
with us you can mute it so all your
2:32
friends are convinced you're some 28
2:33
year old guy in Eastern Europe but
2:36
you're actually 15 years old and you
2:38
live in the basement in Poughkeepsie
2:39
it's okay your secret's safe with me
2:42
so the light-up colors work through the
2:44
USB connection and let me unplug this
2:46
and show you so it actually has two
2:49
wires one of which is just a standard
2:51
audio but it's a 3-ring so it's a four
2:54
section audio which means that also is
2:56
microphone in and then there's the
2:58
separate USB and this just controls the
3:01
illumination system so this is really
3:04
all you need if that doesn't work in the
3:06
box there is an adapter somewhere in
3:09
here I'll even pull it out and show you
3:11
what that looks like here's the adapter
3:14
and you know it's pretty standard you
3:16
plug the actual headphones into one end
3:19
and now you have sort of this old-school
3:22
PC one goes to the mic in and one goes
3:25
to the headphones out you can use this
3:27
this actually makes this a little more
3:29
compatible on the macintosh 2 so it goes
3:32
but you can also just use this on most
3:34
computers and certainly on like your
3:37
xbox and your playstation and stuff this
3:39
is gonna work just fine I really like
3:42
the lighting of course I don't get to
3:44
see the lighting because it's actually
3:45
here so there's no way for me to see
3:47
what's actually going on but who cares
3:50
this still looks really cool right a lot
3:52
of gamers stuff looks cool just because
3:54
it's cool to look cool we'll just run
3:57
with that sentence anyway there's a lot
4:00
to like about these they are really
4:02
remarkably well priced it's really nice
4:04
that there's some really nice gear out
4:06
there for gamers and of course yes you
4:09
could use this for Skype calls and stuff
4:11
if you want to because it's just a
4:12
microphone and a pair of headphones to
4:14
plug into your computer but they're
4:17
really great if you're like a gamer and
4:19
you really want to have that immersive
4:20
experience and as a bonus they're pretty
4:23
light and they're pretty easy on your
4:26
head
4:26
so there's not a lot of headphone
4:29
fatigue you can wear these for a couple
4:30
of hours I would still say every so
4:33
often you probably want to at least give
4:34
your brain a tiny bit of a break but you
4:37
know I'm not a super hardcore gamer
4:39
that says I'm not going to the bathroom
4:41
for 10 hours because I gotta stay in the
4:43
game this is super important that's not
4:45
me if that's you well good luck I don't
4:48
want to hear the details but these
4:50
headphones will work if you want to wear
4:51
them for 10 hours well good luck to you
4:54
but you can do that generally though you
4:57
just plug them in unlike this HP laptops
5:00
pretty typical it has USB and it has an
5:03
audio jack you plug it all in you're
5:05
good to go
5:05
you're good to go with the microphone
5:06
you're good to go with the headphones
5:08
and you get all the cool light-up
5:09
effects now you can't modify the
5:12
lighting you can't just pick your
5:13
favorite color it's gonna cycle through
5:15
colors that's okay it's okay to have
5:18
just things happen and not have the hack
5:20
and then slash at everything right so
5:23
I'm a fan I really like them I think
5:26
there's a nice design to them they have
5:28
a good feel to them they feel like
5:29
they're gonna last a while there's you
5:31
know good build quality the sound is
5:33
surprisingly good definitely good for
5:35
games and the microphone I tried it with
5:38
Skype and the person on the other end
5:40
said hey you sound really good and I
5:41
said shoot the guy behind you and he's
5:43
like what on earth are you talking about
5:45
so I probably should have called the
5:47
gamer and so it goes anyway these are
5:50
the alb up a six but before I tell you
