My Pick for Top Headphone for Call of Duty

Bro I was looking for a video like this! Thank you!

do u need a dac with these or can you connect to mb?

Hey man. Thanks for the vid. I puchased the 490s eventually after a lot of vids i saw... Do u use any EQ for cod warzone? I use the Equalizer Expo with peace. Thanks

Which is more difficult to run HD800s or HD490

What is that bada-s mousepad?

Which headphones would you recommend for FPS shooters, especially COD, the Sennheiser 490 or the Arete IEMs? I'm currently using the Kiwi orchestra Lite and I'm not happy with them, they're not comfortable enough for me.

would you use the hd490 or an IEM of similar/under the price of the 490?

Do a Top Headphone for R6!!!

Hey Fresh I got the HD490 Pro today and do like it but the fabric earpads are super uncomfortable causing the driver cover to scratch my ear pretty badly. The Velour pads are much more comfortable but does using them effect their grade on your tier list? Mainly using for CoD.

pc38x, hd560 or dt 900 pro x for playing cs2 only?

Great channel fresh! Having a channel that focuses on high level audio for gaming is awesome.

Have you used the Focal Clear before (OG). Considering an upgrade/change to either the 490 or Xenns Top. Do you feel there is a clear better option for either? Always used headphones but iems do intrigue me, wondering if they offer any benefit besides isolation.

Edit: Mainly Warzone

Thank you!

i already have hd560s do i go for 900 pro x or 490 pro?

Hi, would you also place the HarmonicDyne Zeus Elite in the top picks category alongside the 490 Pro and 800S? Mainly for someone who already owns the HD 560S and is looking for something better? Can the Zeus also be expected to perform perfectly in competitive games like the 490 Pro, or is it better to go with Sennheisers? Additionally, besides COD and Apex, I also play Valorant and CS2.

I also noticed that in your description, the 490 Pro has an (A+) rating, while the Harmonic has a (B+) rating, the same as the HD560S. I'm wondering how significant this difference is and which would be the better choice considering I already have the HD560S. From what you've mentioned, it seems that the Harmonics have a more enjoyable sound for listening to music, which also attracts me to them, but I'm not sure which model offers more benefits overall.

How do you feel the 490s work in Fortnite?

You would pick these over the dt 900 pro X?

I tried the HD 490 Pro with the mixing pads against my Sennheiser HD 560S. Source is a Schiit Magni Unity. The 560S is definitely better for FPS gaming. Especially at less than half the price of the HD 490 Pro. I get a lot more vertical and horizontal sound stage with the 560S. Now the HD 490 Pro is definitely more comfortable but I have zero issues with comfort for the 560S.

Considering you were a cs 1.6 pro at one point, what would you say is the best pair of headphones for footstep audio in counter strike?

Do I need an amp to run the HD 490 Pro or at least to make the most use out of it?

Do a review on the Hifiman Arya Organic

Plz use timestamps on ur next video thx❤

tremendo canal, justo lo que necesitamos todos los que nos interesa el audio en gaming competitivo; es buenisimo tener la opinion de alguien que comparte la experiencia y lo explica tambien muchas gracias por el contenido amigo

Hey mate been a long time sub and about to pull the trigger on the 490 Pros! My main use will be gaming and FPS games like call of duty. If you had to pick from there DAC/AMPS which would you choose? where I am there all about the same price. I have fallen on either Topping DX3 Pro+, FiiO K11 or the Zen dac v3 appreciate any advice :)

una maravilla de videos, te recomendaria para agregarle diversidad algunos videos de gameplays jugando los diferentes titulos, warzone, fornite, valorant

If you have the money, you can upgrade to the hdv820 (games only) or Violectric DHA V226(best choose), Violectric V590 (music and games). Using 4.4mm (balanced) for hd800s will expand the sound field, and using 6.35mm (unbalanced) will make the sound field smaller.

How about paring it with the Topping DX3 pro+? Would it work similar to the Zen Dac V3?

Hello Fresh, have you tried Arya Stealth in competitive games? I wonder how it performs there compared to hd 490 pro. Trying to choose between 490 pro and Arya Stealth, both have almost the same price in my region, he1000se and hd800s is quite expensive for me

I Noticed on your wallhack list the 490 Pros are A+ and you really like them for COD when comparing them to IEMS are they just that much better for COD? Or do you still prefer IEMS?

Hey Fresh! I have been seeing a lot of your reviews on headphones, and I have been loving them. However, since I already have the Qudelix 5k, I have always wondered if they were enough to use with something like the HD490 pro. What do you think?

I have the Sennheiser HD 660S2 paired with FIIO K11 using the balanced output and wonder how the HD 490 would compare and if its worth the switch up. Any comments and feedback on views welcome.

What mic do you recommend with this?

Have you tested the balanced cable vs the normale one that Sennheiser offers for the HD 490 Pro? I'd be very interested in audio quality differences!

I bought the HD560S per your previous video recommendations and I’m really excited for it to come in. Although I’ve read that some people don’t like them as much for COD due to less bass on the footsteps. But apparently that can be fixed with EQ. Thoughts on that, good sir?

Your content is hidden gem man!

The recently released balanced cable for the 490 Pro really elevates it with the DX9. I did not like the 490 Pro on the DX9 via single ended but it sounds magical with the balanced cable. Enough for me to finally move on from my HD 800 S.

Would love to see you review the Audio Technica ATH-R70X. They are highly regarded as having some of the best imaging for gaming, so i'm a little surprised you haven't got your hands on a pair yet. Keen to see how they stack up against the 490 pros. Cheers!

Hello, I caught you by accident buying the Arete, I wanted to ask you a question I have the dt 990 pro headset and I would like to buy the 490 pro is there so much difference on warzone?

Thanks fresh. How do these compare with Audeze MM-100 for COD?

What do you think about HD599 for Warzone?

If I have dt900prox should I upgrade to 490 pro

out of all the dac/amps you own/use, in what order would you rank them in terms of sound quality when used with the 490 pros?

Please please, some of us game and listen to music, my priority is music, I get too involved in gaming to notice crappy sound..I just zone during videos games... But for music which do your recommend? I use Philips Fidelio x2 for gaming and have HD650 for music. would these be a noticeable difference - 490's or 800? thanks

hey do you think one of those DAC’s is a must have? i just ordered the 490 pros

Can I use schiit gunner dac amp with hd 490?

I’m looking at getting these to upgrade form my Astro a40, so I was wondering how the mic setup would work do I just plug It into the amp/dac aswell? I was looking at the fifine am8 idk what I need tho I think I need xlr ports?

Do you have a squig link on this one?

If they were both the same price what would you choose? Money is not an issue for me I just want the best

is thier a big difference between pads for gaming because the velour are way comfier to me?

What do you prefer for COD headphones or IEMs?

Well accidently got a little to rough with my 560s and snapped the ear. Guess Im getting the 490 pros

There are great amp dac solutions in a Lower price range. Purchase responsibly.
