So I've settled into a nice Dolby Atmos equalizer that has served me well for a couple of different headsets now. I have, in order from left to right (and approximately since Atmos doesn't give you exact numbers): 5-9-4-0-2-3-5-6-4-3-5 Surround EQ and Volume Leveler OFF.
@@OmnicientWolfGaming So did some listening, against my sENNHEISER Game One/HD58X, and ended up with the following, which sounds acceptable to me: Custom Preset: 0 0 -2 -1 +2 +1 +1 0 -1 0 But when I switch to Bluetooth, the Custom sounds quiet different, while other presets sounds same whether 2.4Ghz or Bluetooth. In any case, not planning to game on bluetooth.
@@VicharB Gotcha, glad to hear! Yeah, I imagine the profiles might sound different based on the frequency, but seems like you found yourself a more neutral profile to go with.
That's a mistake on me. I misconstrued the percentage meter on the bottom right as my volume level XD Sorry about that! It does give you an audio indication when it gets lower as far as I know.
@ Gotcha. Thank you for the follow up. I had just received the headset yesterday so I was wondering if I missed something :) I read through the manual again after you made that comment and didn’t see anything in there regarding battery level - except for audio indication that you mentioned. I know you also said you didn’t load the Razer app on your PC. That was what I was really hoping to see because I do have the app but it does not detect the headset within the PC app no matter what I do (this includes connecting headset to my PC via Bluetooth, connecting headset to my PC using the dongle set to USB and connecting headset to my PC using dongle set to Xbox and also connecting headset to my pc via wire). It was confirmed with Razer that Synapse cannot be used for the BlackShark V2 Pro Xbox model which is odd. I am able to use the Razer app on my Xbox and change the settings there. I set a custom EQ and it does appear that custom EQ does stay present on the headset when using it on PC. My PC has no issues in using the headset, I just can’t make any changes on the PC - I must do those on Xbox. Anyways, those were my findings. Thanks again for the follow up!
@@paulblaszkowiak9105 Interesting! Yeah, I believe you might be right in that the Synapse app does not detect the headset. In fact, I remember reading somewhere that there was a different Razer app that you needed to use for the headset? Not sure if I'm misremembering or not. Good thing is if you have a Dolby Atmos license, you can use the EQ on there to apply on the headset, but looks like you have a workaround figured out.
@@OmnicientWolfGaming I do have the Dolby Atmos app. Here is what I **believe** I have found.... I set a Custom profile on Xbox using Razer audio app for Xbox. Just a smiley pattern. As I was saying earlier, Razer says to use the same app name on PC but that app does not detect the headset (others on Reddit have said the same). I notice on both Xbox and PC when pressing the BlackShark physical button to change Profiles that my smiley custom profile is getting loaded. Now on the Dolby PC app I also created a basic smiley curve under "Custom". I then have to select Dolby for my Spatial Audio in Windows. Now when I press the physical button to change profiles on the BlackShark headset and I get to the Custom profile - this appears to be the Dolby smiley as it's noticeably punchier than the similar profile I set on the Razer app for Xbox. Then if I toggle Spatial Audio off in Windows, it appears to go back to my custom Xbox smiley profile. That's what it seems like to me anyways. Frustrating that companies will not document things like this. And that's not exclusive to Razer - it seems like every headset manufacturer makes you do all kinds of trial and error to get the most out of their products.
make a gameplay review of this headset by playing PUBG , BGMI, COD, MINECRAFT, and also other pc games make a video on its pc wired variant because i dont have 3.5mm jack for my mobile so i am searching for both mobile and pc compatible one
@@trishant_gora So far, I've played Halo Infinite, XDefiant, and ASCENDANT with it and have been happy with the sound, but as I test out other games, definitely would be open to doing an updated review 😀 As for the wired version, if ever I get my hands on them, would be happy to do so as well.
*** It is absolutely worth noting that the xbox version IS NOT compatible with streaming to Twitch from Xbox. Which is infuriating because this is the headset that Xbox streamers would want to get since it has the high quality microphone. It will try to impede you from streaming overall, and if you manage to get your live stream up, it will not output audio to twitch, even when the headset/mic works in game chat or party chat. Do not buy if you intend on streaming from xbox. I just threw $200 away.
@ Yeah, it’s super strange. I even found a thread on Razer’s support website, people having the same complaint 6 months ago with no solution. I could make for a great video. Warning others not to purchase this headset if they want to stream. You would think this would be THE headset for xbox streamers
Can you point out which EQ you liked ... The link or digits here? Thanks.

How were you able to check the battery level?

Strange! I can't say I've tried streaming to Twitch via Xbox, but that's frustrating to hear. Wonder why that is.
