Uploaded April 2024 | Updated September 2026, 1 week ago
The goal of this video isn't to provide in-depth coverage on any specific product, nor is it a ploy to get you to buy new stuff! I wanted this to be a basic guide for each product type and price range based on gear I myself have personally used and enjoyed. If I can suggest these to friends and family, I can suggest them to you! I broke it down by chapter for IEMs, Gaming Headsets, Headphones, and more to help save you time. Hopefully this gets you in the right direction if you've been on the fence for a while and weren't sure where to start!
