randomfrankp recently put out a YouTube video that featured this headset with Brian from BadSeed Tech. According to them, the only difference is the color and branding. Other than that, they are identical.
TiderYes both the mic and sound work. The sound is really clear and detailed. Good bass that isn’t overdone. If you play FPS games you will be able to locate enemies very well. To top it all off they are extremely comfortable and once broken in can be worn literally all day for both gaming and work. I highly recommend them. If you want more details I’d suggest searching for them on YouTube. There are a ton of awesome reviews for it.
MrJuiceManeI concur with your assessment. Both mic and headset work without issue, and it’s honestly the best headset I’ve personally ever used.
edit: to clarify, I’ve used several better headphones, but for an all-in-one headset, it is the best I’ve used. The convenience of the built in microphone, mute/volume control, and low impedance makes them ideal for use with consoles.
KittySneezeI've found the audio cuts in and out for me some times when connecting through Xbox controllerd. Not sure if it's the controller, cable or headset though.
It works fine with my creative x4 DAC though. But that's a different cable too.
Quick rundown with my living room setup. Schiit stack magnius and modius. HD58x XLR cable with the modmic wireless. Optical cable connected to my LG CX. Now would this headset be worth getting compared to my current headset/setup? And will the mic work with the PS5 and series S? I feel like I’ll still have to use my modmic which is really not a big deal but the 38x mic would just be in the away
The mic will work with anything, it's a normal gaming headset. Secondly, the only way to know if it's worth trying is to test it out. It definitely has a wider soundstage than the HD58x if you care about that.
Lastly, don't listen to Michnig, the HD560s is great but doesn't have any bass which is very important for immersion in single player games. At the end of the day, the only way to know what you prefer is to test it out.
