Hey Joe @GadgetryTech - looks like Razer released a firmware update on 9/27/23 to fix the bluetooth bug. Hope you can keep your commitment and share regarding the new update, and show the measurement of your custom EQ on Squig :)
man i gotta say this is one hell of a youtube channel. you cut down some tens of hours of researching and comparing to a few 20 minute videos and a few online tools you've referenced. you've more than earned a subscriber. thank you SO MUCH.
@@GadgetryTechThank you got this video! ❤ But one question, this was posted in 2023 right? So what are some major changes that have been done to this headset in 2024? Thank you 🙏
I don’t generally subscribe to RUclips channels or go out of my way to watch the same creators but your videos are awesome. You are very relatable with non-biased reviews and knowledge to back it up. I’ve been wondering what the difference was between the hyper speed and pro 2023 but couldn’t find anything other than the chart Razer has posted on their website. Your video was significantly more helpful.
Found you recently due to your Audeze Maxwell review. Your long and complete reviews of a headset are incredible and really appreciated. Keep up the good work! (I did buy the Audeze in part because of your review).
Great review man. Your setup, videography, and analysis are great. I just picked up the V2 Pros yesterday and didn't even know these Hyperspeed versions existed. I am glad i got the pros though - a non detachable mic is a deal breaker for me, but wish the padding was just a little bit thicker. They look a little nicer on these.
I was so blown away, that you thought of people with no haire on they`re heads. I myselve shave my head and it is awsome to see that you inclood a revomendatin and a bulletpoint for that. thanks a lot
Side Tone was a huge feature for me and I had the Blackshark V2 (updated) and the Cloud 3 wireless I got yesterday. Side Tone is EXCELLENT. Crystal clear, real time, perfect volume level, and doesn't lower the volume of the headset like most other headsets do when you use it! My Blackshark V2 pro's had an issue where enabling sidetone lowered the volume of the right ear cup only and it was very noticeable and horrible in game! They went back immediately because of that. Cloud 3 Wireless strikes a sweet spot of ergonomics, core features, and reliability that I think people care about. Sound quality on Cloud 3 and V2's are similar but Cloud 3 is just perfect for competitive FPS and everyone uses HyperX for a reason there.
hey man since you have both I'm curious which mic is better in your opinion the black shark v2 pro or the cloud 3 also between the two which do you seem to gravitate towards for gaming
@@87detto They're perfect. The do provide a bit of "stick" but in a good way, combined with the memory foam it provides a great comfy seal. My ears don't touch the inside of the cup and overall just really great. Definitely better than the claustrophobic and tight quarters of the V2's that felt like I was wearing a sock on my ear. Those made me instantly sweat. I would say the Cloud 3 "ear sweat" is on point with any other closed back headphone (DT 770, Crosair HS80 etc).
@@ezekielebieshuwa36 Hi, I think the V2 mic quality is a little better but Cloud 3 rejects sound a little better. Pick your poison. Range in my home goes about 10% further on the V2's but both are the best I've ever tested. Both beat the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless in range and mic quality and comfort. Nova's were the best for sound quality in and out of game. Cloud's are a cleaner audio than the Razer slightly less bass boost and they have the angled driver, I would say for competitive FPS they are the better headset.
why is no one besides this channel reviewing this? seems like a huge bang for $130, and the down sides are so miniscule. same battery life, same headphone drivers, same microphone, MORE comfortable and WIRED mode? i also like faux leather compared to the foam in v2 pro, much easier to clean. seriously whats the catch this is almost too good to be true.
Thinking the same. This is the ONLY in depth review at the moment, and a good one at that. But still would like to hear the opinion of other respectable tech reviewers in this space. Maybe coz it was so stealthily released that others just got their hands on it and are taking the time to do a thorough test before releasing a video? In any case, I pulled the trigger and ordered these on Amazon. Hoping I don't have any regrets 😅
@@andrei-mx3ny Hi! So far so good. I did experience the Bluetooth bug but closing synapse and resetting the headset making sure not to be on custom EQ works in resolving it. And being mindful of being on anything besides custom EQ when shutting it off prevents the bug from happening. Bluetooth bug aside, it sounds amazing for gaming. For media consumption, it's more than decent but won't be getting any awards for it. Super comfy too, even more so than the Steelseries Arctis Nova 7 that I also own. All in all, for the price, it's a good deal and I regret nothing. :)
@@Practitionerz Hi! I just bought this today, and I noticed that if I set to custom EQ, then close synapse, then disconnect and reconnect USB wire, I hear loud noise and bad quality audio, until I switch to a preset EQ or start synapse. Do you see similar issue?
I find it astonishing how you‘re still such a small channel. Your vodeo quality is as good or even better as youtubers with millions of subscribers. Keep up the good work
Thanks so much! I’m happy with the growth and look forward to what’s to come. It’s just getting the channel “out there” more that’s been a challenge. I really appreciate the support and kind words!
for ppl who are curious about the bug, I bought one and I thought that the bug was still there, didn't notice I had the "voice clarity" setting on for weeks and now I feel stupid. Problem fixed for me
this is exactly what I was looking for, I actually own the v2 pro from a few years ago and it's getting pretty beat up so I started looking at a potential replacement and saw the hyperspeed on the website. Looked interesting but I was really curious how they compare to the v2 pros. So just a review is great but the comparison is what makes this video super useful to me. Looks like there's just no reason to shell out the extra money for the new v2 pro for my usecase. Thank you for the great review!
The Bluetooth thing is a windows bug, windows loves to switch over to communication mode when it detects a Bluetooth chat device like you said. They might be able to get around it with a synapse update but I’ve struggled with this on many Bluetooth headphones soon as I hop into a game with voice chat switching over to communication mode even though I have a desk mic as the default. The way I fix it is by going into windows device manager and permanently disabling the Bluetooth device mic from my headset so it’s forced to never detect it on audio settings.
@@emmanuell9753 shouldn’t but depends on if there is an issue with it switching from one mode to the other internally also. The Xbox turtle beach stealth pro had the issue where it would come across as a chat device after Bluetooth and the game/chat mic volume would be busted and game volume degraded and controlled all by chat volume but the PlayStation version wasn’t affected. I’d say you are probably safe if your console is PlayStation but the Xbox is more similar to a windows environment and can fall into similar pitfalls with these multi option devices. Personally I’d wait to see what the firmware updates say or just get the older v2 pro which sound great just had a crap mic.
This ended up having the same behavior issue on console as well. I tested a beta firmware update for a while after this review that fixed most of the issues. It’s not perfect but most of the audio bugs on Windows are gone. Same w console
Hello, I want to ask for advice, I’m choosing headphones between HyperX Cloud III Wireless and Razer BlackShark V2 HyperSpeed, that is, bluetooth, a detachable microphone, etc. are not necessary for me. I want to use this for FPS games and I want to find out what will be more reliable, better quality and more comfortable in terms of sound and assembly. Seeing the Razer headphones, I am afraid that they are very easy to break. In general, I would be very grateful if someone could give me advice on what to choose.
Some questions regarding the onboard memory: does the Hyperspeed save both audio AND microphone equalizer to the onboard memory? And second question: Does the v2 Pro also save those settings to onboard memory?
So what do you mean exactly you were having issues with FPS? like you mean hearing footsteps etc? Also, so is the mic on the hyperspeed sound alot different than the pros? i couldnt really tell in the test that good. The mic quality is def the selling point for me, but if its not good for fps, i play alot of COD and stuff so.
I have never understood the attraction of sidetone. I hate the sound of my own voice and I find it very distracting if I can hear myself when talking to friends while gaming. What is the purpose of sidetone? The only time I want to hear myself is if I have to test if the microphone is working.
Side tone is there for two reasons, 1. Some people find it strange to not hear themselves while talking, if you think about it, it’s more natural to hear yourself. 2. It’s also there so you don’t shout, while you talk so people in your house don’t get bothered by you.
I happen to be using the custom eq listening to this video. ensure that the voice clarity setting is off in synapse, as that could cause a "phone call" like sound the sound problems have been fixed as i have not experienced this problem. this headset is good to go! i use mine every day and am very satisfied... i just need to get used to the feel after having used a cheap set for several years. in the end if comes down to personal preference...
Just played with my little nephew for the first time since purchasing this and he said to me.... "you sound different" when I asked if it was better he said " you kinda sound like a twitch streamer" lmao. Guess that means the mic is much better than my old one
Hey, im gonna just leave MY OPINION here! So i bought these to replace my old old old hyperX:s ( i think theyre like 5 yrs old wireless clouds??) and i gotta say, everything else is great! The feel, the mic and the synapse app. BUT the sound is just not there, even after messing with the eq. I dont like how these sound:(
i dont know about you but, the corsair hs80 max sounds different than the regular hs80...i think they pulled a fast one on us all and switched capsules...cheeped out, the max sounds like a hint of robotics in the background if you listen.
your reviews are pretty crucial for me finding the headset i actually want + having an audiophile angle to these is awesome being pretty nitpicky myself. it's really difficult to find a headset that you can wear all day with glasses + use it for gaming, music and work for equal measure. This looks like a good option, while i can easily afford the 2023 pro model, i'm not convinced of the added value. I tried the HS80's but they are too heavy and too clampy and not great with glasses, when you're used to plantronics rig 500hd for years so i just returned them.
My headset has that audio issue just how you explained it except I didn’t use Bluetooth at all to make it trigger. I think I moved the volume slider and turned mic monitoring off and on and that triggered that sound issue .. I shut it off turned it on like 4 times and it fixed .. I shut it off and back on to test it to see if it would mess up again and it messed I up!
Thanks so much for the feedback. I'll likely keep it at a lower volume than this one. It's difficult to find the right balance, so the feedback is greatly appreciated. It was surprising how many older videos suggested I add some subtle music to the background.
@@GadgetryTech I appreciate all the condensed and to the point information, which still fills like 20 minutes some time. ;D But it's getting a bit harder to focus and get it all in with too loud background music. At least that's how I'm feeling about this. Nice review btw!
Uh, HS80 Max mic sounds better. While it sounds a tad more processed, it sounds more full still. BlackShark still has much less bass/thickness to the sound vs the HS80 Max.
Nice review man, ordered some of these to replace my Roccat Syn Max Air headset (which was an abomination). Looking forward to not sounding like I am talking into a potato LOL
If they could just bring back the Tiamat 7.1 V2's that would be fantastic... i miss having 5 speakers per ear. it makes a huge difference in quality when you have multiple things going. (playing a game and watching a video at the same time) mono speaker headsets sound like trash in that scenario. and as someone with AuDHD I am ALWAYS multitasking at least two video games and watching a video while talking to friends in discord. all those audio channels get jammed up. some people may not notice it but it sounds like nails on a chalkboard to me.
great review!!! i want a video show difference in details of microphone because I mainly use headphone for MS Team conference meetings, but none of other videos have it. Thanks a lot!
Does it save your desired volume using the volume dial on console after you turn it off, or does it default to the highest volume you set on the console settings?
Is this headset good for like shooter and stuff? I play alot of cod and siege and i want to be able to hear my enemies from like anywhere and also i wanna hear where they are coming from. I broke mine recently so i wanna find a good exchange
Hi thanks for such a detailed review, but now I'm torn between the Razer BlackShark V2 HyperSpeed and the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7. Can you help me with this?
Can anyone tell me if the Blackshark V2 pro custom settings on the synapse software transfer over to the PS5 once setup on the Pc? That is the only thing weighing my decision to buy
Hi, thanks for the review. I use Blackshark v2 Hyperspeed to play cs2, but I can't find a good EQ to adjust the sound and get a good performance in the game. Can you maybe help me with that?
what's the delay? i play osu a lot and i noticed that with other wireless headphones, there's a HUGE delay. This headset (the blackshark) has a dongle. Does anyone know if it's good for rhythm games or if the delay is not that bad..
I just ordered myself the Nova 7, hope its really good, should arrive tomorrow. Sadly the mic is not as good as my HS80 wireless was, which died after 1.5 years from a dead battery
Wait, some headsets have a built-in sidetone feature? I've always just ticked the "listen to this microphone " box in the sound control panel on Windows😬
Then we have different headsets, mine are not bass based in custom flat EQ, they are little bit sharper in the upper mids and smth like that and i cant really feal so much bass
Amazing review as always, Sir. I hope the firmware/Bluetooth issues get resolved. The issues I have with most headsets is the depth and size of cup. Most of these 'gaming' headsets, I find, are too constructive on my elephant ears. I use the VSR Model 1 and the HiFiman Drop HE-X4, which are my goto cup and driver size. These just seem to be too narrow, imo. I would guess this shape is to do with sound profile and cost instead of going round and larger? Thank you as always for your time and efforts to share this review with us all. Take care, Sir.
Recently discovered you channel, and love the content. I am in the market for a new wireless gaming headset, and am considering the Hyperx cloud 3 or Razer blackshark V2 Hyperspeed you've gone over in this video. Which would you personally choose, out of those two headsets?
razer blackshark v2 pro 2023 edition didnt work for me it was disconnecting randomly i really like the headset but the software just makes it worse for me now i am gonna try razer blackshark hyperspeed really appreciate the early review and the best review
There isn’t right now but I’m not sure i want to put too much into the start rating system. It’s only a beta process right now and I don’t think it always paints a complete picture.

Hi thanks for such a detailed review, but now I'm torn between the Razer BlackShark V2 HyperSpeed and the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7. Can you help me with this?
has the glitch with the hyperspeed been fixed yet?
Can anyone tell me if the Blackshark V2 pro custom settings on the synapse software transfer over to the PS5 once setup on the Pc? That is the only thing weighing my decision to buy
Yes they do
What is that headset stand ? I can't find it anywhere :/
what is your choice? Cloud3 wireless for 93 Euro or Blackshark Hyperspeed for 118 Euro
Hey gadtrytech did they fix the problem with the eq and stuff or not? Cuz i don’t see your comment and im about to buy the v2 pros
please tell the name of that headphone stand !
does the hyperspeed have side tone or mic monitoring
The headset needs to be conected via cable to get the update?
Can you save the eq settings with sidetone enabled and it work fine on ps5?
Another great breakdown and analysis, shame about the firmware bugs though.
Thanks! If they fix it this is a home run.
I guess I'll play the waiting game. I had the HS80 Max and had to send it back, because so many software bugs were annoying after a time.
just bought it but it sound awful when i play music and talk on the mic
I'm confused about whether to buy the Blackshark V2 Hyperspeed or the Barracuda X 2022? Any suggestion
Hi, thanks for the review. I use Blackshark v2 Hyperspeed to play cs2, but I can't find a good EQ to adjust the sound and get a good performance in the game. Can you maybe help me with that?
did the bug ever get fixed?
what's the delay? i play osu a lot and i noticed that with other wireless headphones, there's a HUGE delay. This headset (the blackshark) has a dongle. Does anyone know if it's good for rhythm games or if the delay is not that bad..
I just ordered myself the Nova 7, hope its really good, should arrive tomorrow. Sadly the mic is not as good as my HS80 wireless was, which died after 1.5 years from a dead battery
Wait, some headsets have a built-in sidetone feature? I've always just ticked the "listen to this microphone " box in the sound control panel on Windows😬
Then we have different headsets, mine are not bass based in custom flat EQ, they are little bit sharper in the upper mids and smth like that and i cant really feal so much bass
Amazing review as always, Sir. I hope the firmware/Bluetooth issues get resolved. The issues I have with most headsets is the depth and size of cup. Most of these 'gaming' headsets, I find, are too constructive on my elephant ears. I use the VSR Model 1 and the HiFiman Drop HE-X4, which are my goto cup and driver size. These just seem to be too narrow, imo. I would guess this shape is to do with sound profile and cost instead of going round and larger? Thank you as always for your time and efforts to share this review with us all. Take care, Sir.
Thanks! I still found these cups really nice. They are more open feeling than the EPOS H3Pro hybrid which most people like
@@GadgetryTech Thank you for your reply, Sir. Much appreciated.
You channel reviews have great depth, noone does this on YT. U deserve more subs!
anything on the Kraken V3 pros? debating on those and blackshark
Corsair’s microfone sounds so much better it’s crazy but I still prefer the sound of the blackshark
please it is compatible on ps5 ????, no one is talking about it for a few days I'm trying to find out
This headset or the astro's a40's?
Recently discovered you channel, and love the content. I am in the market for a new wireless gaming headset, and am considering the Hyperx cloud 3 or Razer blackshark V2 Hyperspeed you've gone over in this video. Which would you personally choose, out of those two headsets?
Looking for this. Thank you
razer blackshark v2 pro 2023 edition didnt work for me it was disconnecting randomly i really like the headset but the software just makes it worse for me
now i am gonna try razer blackshark hyperspeed
really appreciate the early review and the best review
Did you manage to try them Bro?
@@abeerahmed3953 no i just bought another v2 pro 2023 but still thx surround is bugged in some games and synapse sucks
Now is the bug fixed? cuz there is a firmware update.. for the hyperspeed from May 24, 2024 but i doesnt really specify if the bug is fixed
Anyway to sort by star rating on your DB site? Couldn't find a way. But I think it'd be useful. Unless I'm missing it.
There isn’t right now but I’m not sure i want to put too much into the start rating system. It’s only a beta process right now and I don’t think it always paints a complete picture.
very detailed and helpful review. thank you
Are there any third part pads that would work with this?
Any ear cushion replacements on these?
Wicked Cushions.
@@madant7777 which model? I've asked them directly and they said that there's no kind available that fits this headset
Is the frame of the Hyperspeed HS made entirely of plastic or aluminum for stability
This might be a cop for me. On hyperx cloud 2 rn soooo I think that is an easy upgrade.
Great review just a quick question to anyone that knows. Does this headset work on xbox? (wired or wireless i dont mind)
What are your current top 3 headsets that you personally use most?
Will this headset work on the same 2.4g dongle that comes with my blackadderV2 mouse?
Is there any noticeable white noise or buzzing when on ps5?
