This is a surprisingly good gamer headset at a killer price. Let's check it out
0:12
Dave Taylor here and I'm checking out this. This is the SynPesen UG01 wireless gaming headset and
0:19
it has a secret little thing that it has actually a microphone on a boom that recesses into one of
0:28
the earpieces. When you need it you pull it out it's ready to go. When you don't need it you just
0:33
push it back into the headphones and now you just have headphones powered by 40 millimeter drivers
0:41
and offering surprisingly good sound. We'll come back to the sound in a little bit
0:46
It is battery powered. It offers up to 40 hours of playtime and it's of two hours for a full
0:51
charge from zero. You charge it with USB-C here and in fact if we look at the headphones on the
0:59
left side you have that boom microphone. On the right hand side you have the primary controls
1:04
which is a volume up and down roller or knob which is super convenient and then you have the mute
1:12
button for the microphone and you have a power multi-function button and that's everything. So
1:18
pretty straightforward. I guess there's also one more. There's that 3.5 millimeter because you can
1:24
use these headphones in three different modes. You can use them wirelessly as Bluetooth 5.0 headphones
1:31
You can use them wired with the included 3.5 millimeter to 3.5 millimeter wire or you can use
1:38
them with the included dongle which is a USB 3.0. So it's that rectangular shape. It's a USB 3.0 dongle
1:48
Plug this into a PC and it's instantly paired with the headphones and you're ready to go and you'll
1:54
get really nice audio quality. This also gives you options for some different gaming systems too
2:00
Finally there's also a USB-C to USB-A charging cable for charging it and little instruction
2:07
booklet but obviously it's all really about the headphones themselves. Now they support and work
2:13
with Mac, PC, Linux, Chromebooks, PS4, PS5. You can use them with an Xbox but the Xbox only supports
2:22
a wired mode. It will also work with things like the Switch. So really these can work with any
2:29
environment you want. The dongle is a typical 2.4 gigahertz wireless system and I will tell you on my
2:36
testing it's very low latency which is really important for gamer headphones because you don't
2:42
want to hear the sound of someone coming up after they've already shot you. That does not give you
2:47
great scores in your games. So these are what look like nice soft very luxurious leather. They're
2:55
actually protein leather which is a code name for a non-leather product which is good because that
3:02
means no animals were harmed in the making of these headphones which I think is important
3:06
And the microphone also when you extend it and you use it it actually has environmental noise
3:12
cancelling or ENC. But what I want to do is I want to give you a demo. So I'm going to put these on
3:18
and then I'm going to use the button the lower button and push it for a couple of seconds
3:24
and now I have power on. I need to stretch it out a bit. There we go and you can see I put the boom microphone right in front of my mouth
3:33
and now what I'm going to do is I'm going to actually go into voice memos. I have it paired
3:38
with my iPhone 14 pro and so now what you're hearing is my voice as picked up by the SynPesen
3:48
UG01 wireless gaming headset and it sounds really good and of course any microphone that you can put
3:55
right by your mouth tends to give you really good sound and in terms of the mute button well
4:03
turn the mute button off so no big surprise my voice went away. So I think the microphone it
4:10
does a really good job. In fact generally speaking I am really startled at how good these headphones
4:16
are given their price point but let me switch back to the regular mic. So okay so we're back
4:24
to the regular microphone let me just turn off this recording and so there's that and then of
4:30
course the other big question with any headphones of course is what do they sound like and as I said
4:36
I was really surprised at how good they sound. I was listening to some Tito Puente some classic
4:43
latin jazz and it was just lively and fun and there was a good sound stage and it's a little
4:50
bass heavy which is typical for a gamer design headset but you can also monkey with your EQ on
4:56
your source device to change that if you want. What I will say is it was a surprisingly pleasant listen
5:02
and when I had the headset the microphone pushed in like that I actually let my gamer son also
5:10
check out these out and he's like wow these sound really good and then I told him the price and he
5:14
said no way these should cost at least four times their current price. We'll get there but suffice to
5:21
say there's a lot to like here and if you're looking for an affordable entry-level gamer
5:26
headset or gaming headset that gives you that boom mic but also makes it so it's recessed and easily
5:33
hidden and something you don't have to think about unless you need it then this is exactly what these
5:38
are and obviously you can use these with something like zoom or microsoft teams or meeting or any of
5:45
those programs because it's just a microphone and headset so pretty straightforward. In terms of
5:52
dimensions it's 7.6 by 6.8 by 3.6 inches size doesn't really matter obviously it's also adjustable
6:01
what's more important is that it's only 8.1 ounces so they're very light they're lightweight
6:06
comfortable on your head they don't have any active noise cancelling but I found that the
6:12
earmuffs actually sat well on my ears and they cut out a lot of the environmental noise not all of it
6:18
but that's okay because if you're gaming or if you're in that sort of environment then you're
6:23
probably in a pretty quiet space so when you do something like this you really don't have a lot
6:29
of noise around you and you can really focus on that sort of spatial sense of the audio of a good
6:36
game so it's really everything I have I really think these are very impressive and definitely
6:42
worth checking out. Now in terms of the price let's talk about that but before we get to the
6:48
price I'm going to ask if you could subscribe to my channel just click or tap on that subscribe
6:53
button and if you found this video useful I appreciate the like or thumbs up go ahead and
6:58
tap that or click that thank you great this is the SynPresent UG01 wireless gaming headset and it is
7:07
$29.99 and currently on Amazon when I recorded this video there was a 10% coupon dropping it down
7:14
to a rather insane $26.99 I think they could sell these for $99 and I think people would still be
7:22
happy with them but the fact that they're $26.99 right now is just a no-brainer these are great
7:28
as a backup pair of headphones now they're not the toughest and most rugged they're not going to
7:33
last for 50 years but if you're just looking for a backup pair or a pair for a younger gamer or just
7:39
you want to just have headphones that give you the option of pulling out on boom mic then these are
7:44
definitely ones to check out. That's all I got I think I'm going to go back to my Tito Puente
7:48
so I'll catch you in my next video
