On the Nova 7s the design is horrible, that hinge always breaks. It might be flexible and it's lovely in the begging but over time they ALWAYS break. I've been through 3 sets and I'm absolutely done with'em. thust me they're not worth the money. You can always find them used for sale because ppl know they Have to be sold after a certain period. The BlackShark v2 2023 version cost less and are better imo.l
Blackshark mic for sure
Did you have any issues with the mic of the Razer where there seems to be a very aggressive noise gate even when noise gate is turned off?
Just dont mention one of the best features on the blacksharks👍 it has a few pre loaded eq's on the headset itself that you can switch between, great for console users
Definitely using the mic from the BlackShark.
I got the V2 pro yesterday. Sound quality is ok but when you’re gaming and you try to put music, it’s like using a 5€ headset
These are the two headsets I'm considering to replace my GPX Wireless which is quite literally becoming a pain. I get so much head fatigue with the GPX Wireless now
Steelseries arctis nova 7 is better but not all Razer Blackshark V2 PRO has a good microphone
My buy wish u made these videos a bit early i waited alot so that u compare these none on youtube compared these two properly and i bought the blacksharls few weeks ago😭 and then u reviewed it
so I got the black shark 2023 about 2 months ago, and I found when listening to any type of audio, even after the sound was muted, the headphones would emit a soft ocean hissing sound constantly, and I thought this could be a defect, so I got a replacement, even tried Bluetooth with my phone, same thing, hissing, clearly there’s some mass manufacturing problem with the headphones, and the reason it’s not a big talking point is because most people probably can’t hear the frequency, but man it’s super irritating, I can’t stand it
loving your vids man, would love to see you do a comparison between the hs80 max and the g pro x 2
Got my BSV2Pro 2020 dropped it around 10x in a span of 3 yrs still in one piece battey still holding up, this is the most comfortable headset I ever used, I always reach out for this even if my Penrose sounds better .
One thing i love about Steelseries tho is the Sonar software. Not sure about Razer Synapse as I don’t own a Razer headset but I know with Sonar you can route your game, media, and chat/mic audio to different tracks if you plan on streaming or making gaming videos. I just wish it had a better mic and better bass
thank you for the video. i was torn between the two and now i know which i will be purchasing. great work!
I downloaded the THX software yesterday after your video. I have been using the Dolby Atmos software. I couldnt tell there was spacial audio much at all with the THX software when compared to the Dolby Atmos software. Even in the THX demo example it was barely noticeable. Makes me curious how the Blackshark would sound with the Atmos software. My everyday headset has been the Sony wh1000xm5.
Great video thanks. Could you tell me if the Razer has also the game profile of Rainbow 6 included in the software and also which one has the best spatialisation on FPS games? 😊 Especially for Rainbow 6. Thanks a lot.
Which one would you recommend for ps5? I know nova 7 one has sound settings that can be changed via pc and it will save it and works for ps5.
What mic do u use?
After my 2nd blackshard v2 pro poppped the same issue with my first one after some months of use . right speaker would stop working on full volume and would only work while im playin with the volume wheel at around 50% volume..still comfort and mic is insane ..im actually considering on gettin the nova now...but i might just go for blackshark again :/
Where can I find such a red skull ?
