 Hey everybody, it's Brian. We're going to do a headset review. I get a lot of emails of people saying, hey What headset do you use? Because your voice actually comes in pretty clear. I've used a couple different headsets I've switched to wireless simply because I hate the wire. It always just gets wound up So my first one was the Logitech G930 wireless gaming headset Not a bad product, but not a great product the let me explain a little bit here You can see right here. I don't know if the video is picking up my mouse, but you can see right over the earpiece that little Rectangle shape that actually started cracking over time So I'd have like sharp pieces of plastic poking out at the side of my head But worse than that the sound would just intermittently cut out. It made no sense You'd be playing a video game or listening music or doing whatever and you'd hear it go beep and That beep sound means that you've already lost sound not that you're losing it But you're you've already, you know completely lost it So I would be recording a tutorial in about five minutes into it. I'd hear beep. Well that means, you know 30 seconds or a minute or two minutes of my voice just did not get recorded and I'd have to start completely over as a real pain Other than that sound quality was amazing, but a lot of people have issues with this To the point they've even you know like gone out and ripped off the shielding on the dongle and all this other stuff And I tried every everything even to the point of ripping the shielding off the dongle and still just crap Then my girlfriend bought me this creative sound blaster recon 3d. Omega wireless headset Could that name be any longer? Anyways, um, if you're like me back in the day sound blaster was like the best product on the market Well, it's not really true anymore While I like the headset it was a royal pain to set up I mean, I like things that are just plug-and-play because life's just too short, right? But you see this little guy here You have to have this base station, which is like the size of your cell phone. It's actually pretty thick and You got to like pair the headset with the base station And then you got to install the software and then the software wasn't detecting it and then once I got it working It took me like an hour and a half to actually get it working once I got it working. It was rock solid No sound disconnects like I had with the Logitech G930 however When I upgraded to Windows 10 and I didn't do an upgrade I did a fresh install. I just blew away my partition and install Windows 10 for video gaming That's when I started having problems. The headset worked completely fine For about a week and then I had a Windows update and then it lost sound and I went what the heck So I looked at all the updates that came down and none of them had anything to do with this headset and So I did some research and Found that my firmware was out of date So I actually loaded the newest firmware and then it worked and then two days later. Boom. No sound. What the heck? Did some more research? They released yet another firmware. This one was specifically for Windows 10 I said all right, so I went to install that firmware and it said your device is not connected So I'm looking at this going it's plugged in I see it's plugged in Windows even sees it It's plugged in but it was saying the device is not detected So the directions I found you had to strip off and go back five What was it like five versions? Previous and reinstall each version of the firmware just to get up to that point and then it still said device not found And then every time I rebooted I would have to start over and reinstall the firmware over and over and over Just get the sound and finally I just got sick of it and I went back to the logic tech G9 30s just because that's what I had on the shelf and For whatever reason they were rock solid for about three weeks not a single sound disconnect I was very happy. I was like hey Maybe Windows 10 fixed it and I also had installed the newest version of a boon too So I thought hey between the two maybe it was an OS issue and then suddenly Sounds started dropping and by dropping. I mean literally every 30 seconds. I'd hear that beep. It was just to the point They were unusable I should also go back to the sound blasters if you try going out to sound blaster comment looking You're gonna get a big fat server error 404 not found Sound blasters a company's really kind of gone downhill. I'm not sure what's going on with that But I just remember back and like the the 90s sound blaster was the de facto in sound equipment So I went to my local Best Buy just because I was frustrated and I really wanted a wireless headset and I bought a razor Manowar And this thing it's pretty awesome. I'm actually talking on it right now This microphone actually slides in and out The only thing that I'm kind of critical about is I actually hear myself talking This is really weird. I understand why they did it When you wear some cancelling headphones and you try to talk you're used to hearing the sound of your voice So your voice will go up and up and up and you're practically screaming into the microphone just so you can hear your own voice Well, this actually negates that because your microphone is kind of always on When you retract it back into the base, you'll still hear your voice a little bit But it's much much quieter But when it's out all the way, you'll actually hear your voice through the headphones as you speak Which is kind of tripped me out at first, but it's actually I understand why they did it in these little The little triple snake typical razor logo you can configure the color if you install their software Of course, I did not install their software. I have no intention of doing that But right out of the box it just worked. I plugged it in boom sound. I have sound on my Mac I have sound in Windows 10 and I have sound in Linux and I haven't installed a lick of Software it just worked These I thought were going to be extremely uncomfortable. They are very comfortable. Um, and these are very big headphones I mean, they're like wearing two coconuts on the side of your head It looks kind of awkward, but they're very comfortable. I was kind of surprised sound quality is amazing This little micro USB. That's it right there. That's the base station. You literally plug it in and boom Works it comes with a I think it's like a four or five foot USB extension cord with a base station That you can plug it into but you can plug that right into the side of your laptop and it works Range our house is kind of thick. I mean the walls are kind of thick So wireless sound doesn't go well with the logitech. I could go to the refrigerator and I would start cutting out Sound Blaster pretty much same thing it right around the refrigerator, which is maybe Maybe 20 feet from my desk. It would start cutting out The man of war they see I think it was like a hundred feet you can get on this thing I'm not quite getting that but I can actually go way out in the living room and then it'll cut out But it comes back on it's like it's trying you'll hear it cut in and out And I went all the way to my bedroom to get my tablet and they work just fine only cut out once I was really happy so oh Yeah, and the big thing about this is you get seven days of wireless gaming on a single charge This thing has monster batteries in it and it'll just go and go and go and go and I've actually found that to be true We're you know like with the logitech and even the sound blasters I would you know like on a weekend. Let's just admit it you all do this You're on a weekend. You're gonna play video games all weekend and then you know You gotta plug your headset in well this thing will just go and go it's kind of crazy I'm pretty happy with it so far. It was on sale. It was like 120 ish dollars I Don't know I like it. So um So for those of you kind of looking for headsets, I would highly recommend you stay away from the logitech Sound blasters great if you're staying on Windows 7, but if you're going to Windows 10 buyer beware the razor Absolutely, no complaints on this thing so far granted. This is only day three. Yeah, here's that little base station. I was talking about This is just a USB extension and that's I don't want to call it a base station It's just got like a little rubber mat underneath it to keep it sliding around you just plug the USB thing in or you can Plug it straight into your computer Little bulky a little heavy, but other than that I like it. Oh and you can Adjust the volume and adjust the microphone right on the bottom. You don't have these big bulky buttons. You have to worry about That's it. So anybody who's been asking me. Hey, what should I get? This is what I'm running right now, and I'm pretty happy with it
