A light up Bluetooth gaming headset? Let's check it out
0:10
Dave Taylor here and I'm checking out this. This is the XA E900BT wireless gaming headset
0:17
So I've checked out the E900 before and I really liked it, but it was a wired headset. So great
0:23
for gaming, but not so much if you want to be able to step away from your computer or your gaming
0:29
system or whatever. Now they've added Bluetooth to these and it works great. So they have 50
0:37
millimeter dual chamber drivers and the sound is really quite surprisingly good. Very bass forward
0:43
which is very enjoyable. 20 millisecond ultra low latency and that's 20 milliseconds. So essentially
0:50
that's zero. That means in your game when something happens you hear immediately even though you're
0:56
running in wireless mode and that's great because a lot of times if you want to have wireless headset
1:02
then you're actually sacrificing that audio speed and you don't want to hear things a second or too
1:07
late. So these solve that problem. Just as importantly if you want to stream a video or
1:14
watch Netflix or your favorite TV series or something then everything's fully in sync too
1:20
because that latency can also affect the sort of synchronization between what you're hearing and
1:26
the lips of the characters in the show and this again 20 milliseconds it's absolutely spot on
1:33
no problems at all. Three different modes it has game movie and music modes and the battery lasts
1:40
an impressive 50 hours and here's what I really like is that if you plug this in and there's a
1:45
USB-C charging plug here plug it in and three minutes of charge will give you an hour of playback
1:52
so that's a pretty good ratio if you need to charge it all the way from completely out to
1:57
completely full it'll take about two hours so that's easy enough to work with and it's Bluetooth
2:04
5.0 and not only that but it includes this 2.4 gigahertz dongle so this is great for older PCs
2:14
plug it in and even if you have Bluetooth you can use this instead and it's super easy to work with
2:20
they also include a mic cover and I will tell you that the microphone actually pushes into the
2:27
headset so if you're not using it you can keep it discreetly out of the way I think that's actually
2:32
very handy also included in the box is a 3.5 millimeter to 3.5 millimeter so yes you can use
2:40
it in wired mode if that's what you prefer and of course a USB-A to USB-C charging cable so you can
2:47
charge it one of the things I like about XA is that they have this very nice super soft carrying
2:53
bag I won't say carrying case it's a bag and it is just this lovely velvet feel and it's just perfect
3:00
for you when you're traveling and you want to you know don't throw it in your backpack like this
3:05
throw it in your backpack in the bag and it's going to just be a little bit more protected
3:09
now super comfortable and you can see both sides adjust and then it even shows in the earpiece which
3:18
ear is which so I can do that I can pull the microphone out and we are ready to rock and roll
3:25
here see I think that's the right direction and so I said you can do 2.4 gigahertz you can do 3.5
3:32
millimeter cable you can actually get 7.1 surround sound and most importantly the microphone also has
3:40
something called voice pure ENC so it has environmental noise canceling so I thought
3:46
wouldn't it be fun to have a demo where you can hear what the microphone sounds like so let's do
3:52
that off of my pretty darn high-powered Mac system so what you're hearing now is my voice as picked up
4:01
by the EXA E900BT wireless gaming headset and I hope you can hear it's a very nice clear crisp
4:10
sound nothing at all to be concerned about and your friends when you're gaming with them
4:15
they're going to hear you possibly more than they want to so let me actually switch things back
4:23
all right cool so I put that away so voice pure ENC they're really comfortable they are very
4:30
adjustable I really like the light up LED but hey if you don't like that you can actually
4:36
turn it off and then when you want you can turn it back on now with it off you're probably going
4:41
to get a smidge more battery life I don't know that it's going to give you a lot more battery
4:46
life but honestly I'd rather have it on but while we're talking about buttons let me give you some
4:51
close-ups and you can see on the left earpiece you have that volume control really easy to work with
4:58
you have the multi-function button and you have the power button there are also some LED status
5:04
lights and there's that 3.5 millimeter jack so you can use it in wired mode on the right ear
5:11
is really not much at all other than just USB-C for charging and that's really everything this
5:18
is compatible depending on what mode you're using with a PS4, PS5, Xbox, Switch, phone, tablet
5:28
Mac or PC so whatever you want to plug this into or hook this up via Bluetooth or one of these other
5:34
connection modes you're good to go it's going to work great and it's going to sound really good
5:39
and let me just again say that I really enjoyed the sound with this I actually was listening to
5:44
the soundtrack to the latest Mission Impossible movie and man it's bass forward it's big it's
5:52
rich there's a good sound stage these actually just sound like really good headphones they're
5:58
really like almost audiophile quality a little bit too much bass maybe but boy it makes it sound
6:03
really good and they're perfect for gaming so I was trying some old Xbox games and very fun even
6:11
if I was getting slaughtered left and right at least it sounded great so there was that and that's
6:16
really all I got the only thing worth talking about still is the price and these are going to
6:21
be less than you think but before we get to the price I'm going to invite you to subscribe to my
6:26
channel a click or a tap on that subscribe button give me a thumbs up if you found this to be helpful
6:31
and interesting and we're connected great this is the EXA E900BT wireless gaming headset and it is a
6:40
surprisingly low $69.99 at exa.net and when I checked they actually were running a promo pricing
6:49
so it was actually even lower than that hopefully you'll see that too when you go to check but if not
6:54
still at $69 this is a no-brainer upgrade to whatever kind of gaming system you have or your
7:02
mac or pc so that's all I got I think I'm going to go back to my gaming so I'll have to catch you
7:08
in my next video you
