I still don't know why people buy Razer headsets and mice, their keyboards are the only thing worth it. Mice have a higher lift off distance that makes it hard to switch to, and headsets suck.
I only recently started watching your videos as I am looking at purchasing some razer products, and my first initial thought was, "I like how this guy talks and does his reviews", and now seeing from where you came from, major step up! I love how you go into good detail and explain even the little things! Good job man! Great videos!
the V2 X's mic sounds wayyyyy better, but I have a separate studio mic, so I'm not too worried about my mic, just a really good headset for gaming and listening/recording music
I'm probably gonna get the V2x, the only thing I'm worried about is in the leather rich ear and head pads, cuz I know those tend to degrade easily with time. But i think for where I live the price difference isn't worth it to go up to the V2 even more so with the V2x having way better mic quality
@FreezeTemo It's a perfectly good headset! The microphone works great. The audio is pretty decent, and as headsets go, it's very comfortable for me. I even brought it on the plane, and it was surprisingly decent to use during a long flight. At home, I bought a beyerdynamic headset because of the audio quality for music. But as I'm traveling, I'm using this one, and it works for everything I need. Gaming, speaking to people, watching videos, etc.
TV Head Man true they’ve been listening to enthusiasts and making higher quality stuff instead of the gimmicky and too much branding products they were doing in the past. I got their new mouse pad the gigantus v2 and it’s better than the ss qck
Razed must have hired some new people because since the Viper they’ve stepped up their game so much in all quality and design aspects of their products
Razer have always been ahead of the game in terms of peripherals imo for competitive prices especially. Picked up the V2X’s today for £40 and they are top quality, I still use my Deathadder from 2009 as my main mouse for CSGO 😂
Yep my death adder and black widow from like 2014 still holding strong. About to purchase this headset. I looked at steel series, astro(always wanted), hyper X and I think razer is just the move because I already trust them, and because I can use synapse for my headset mouse and keyboard rather than using synapse and steel series software or synapse and hyper X software
I have the v2s and whenever I use them, I forget I'm even wearing headphones. They're super comfortable, the sound quality is really good, and even though I don't use it, the mic sounds surprisingly good!
Watch this over a year ago, finally able to buy Blackshark V2 X and I'm very satisfied. It's all thanks to your review that I'm able to decide what Headset should I buy. o7
@@tanuncito I did, and it's the best gaming headset I had in YEARS. I always wore the Kraken, the V1 and V2. And the Blackshar V2X gives you the same if not bett sound quality then the Kraken, it's way lighter, it doesn't hurt your ears. The mic is extraordinary, and on top of all he's more durable than the Kraken, I always had a problem with the Kraken cushions, which were made of leather and always got ripped apart, this one is made of a different kind of matterial. Also the mic mutting button and the volume is on the left earcup, giving a more reliable and durable condition to the headset. I've had the Blackshark V2X for over 4 months now, and I don't regret at all buying.
Ye the V2 X looked to have better sound quality honestly but I like either one and honestly but I’m getting the V2 because I don’t really talk and having the mic piece in all the time will just catch me off guard sometimes when looking down some
Bruh... I got V2 and I can say: THE SOUND CARD DOES A BIG DIFFERENCE. It is like from 40$ headphones to 100$ and one more plus is that microphone which can be removed... Definitely recommend normal v2s for price.
just got them they are perfect sound, bass, when play anything isolation starts mid range sound is perfect comfort long time use a bit ear hot , a bit strong grip mic is awesome i bought it then i regret because i paid money and maybe its not good once i tried them at home, i cant stop be happy that i bought them
I think the V2 X is the WAY better buy. I think the more subtle look and honestly better mic quality. I don't value the dongle and paracord at $30. Stereo sound is just superior than virtual imo
the mic quality is the same if you connect v2 by the sound card the mic card gets bottlenecked and it becomes shit quality if you go straight to motherboard you have much better mic quality
The reason the volume wheel is counter clockwise is because of how it's placed. You spin it "forward" to increase the volume. In my case it would feel natural, though it could be me who just isn't used to volume mixers like this.
Not sure why you don’t have more subscribers! Your reviews are excellent and if I’m looking for anything and find you have reviewed it, I am delighted! 👍🏻
The headset I have used for both my PS4, PS4 Pro and now PS5 just died on me while in a Warzone game, so I had to get on the internet and order a new one pretty fast. Found this review out of nowhere, and nice job - Im bying the V2 X as we speak.
@@ben67896 it’s ok, especially if you buy at a discounted price. Decent sound, but I would probably buy something a bit more premium and cordless if it’s primarily used for single player games/chilling

The kinda noise dampening feel of it was one of my favorite features, as well as the noise dampening microphone! I think it is the best value Esport Headset on the market
Try using the splitter cable to split it into the two channels, and plug the output one into the sound card, and the input into the pc. See if that solves the mic audio compression problem. Now u can enjoy high quality audio with good mic quality.
@@tanuncito Perfect. I've had them for almost 7 months now and they're in the exact condition they were in when i pulled them outta the box. 100% recommend

Hey Frank can you review the JBL 200 or 300 because I think they are pretty cool haven't really tried them yet but really wanna know if it's better to go for the Corsair hs50 instead!!
This is one for randomfrankp. Good detailed vid 👍. I'm looking to get a new headset and I've narrowed my pick between the V2x and Fnatic React. I mainly play competitive fps on console. In your opinion which one do I go for?
The V2 X sounds so much better than the V2. The V2 sounds like an old radio transmission, sounding grainy like almost. I wonder if they changed the V2 to have that sound card capability but made it an Aux input instead of USB if that would make a difference?
For some reason, the "premium" version sounds worse than the normal. It's like the mike difference between the corsair virtuoso se and normal virtuoso. The normal one sounds a lot better for the razer blackshark v2s.
Yeah, Idk why the v2x sound better mic quality wise. I bought the v2 for sound quality and comfort, not the mic, because I have a separate mic. But yeah, I wish the mic was better on the v2.
According to Razer's website, you only get the 7.1 surround sound software with the V2 X... with the V2 however, you get their THX spatial audio which is supposed to be better than the regular surround sound they had.
I got a Ps5 could some1 help me in how I can I download the surround sound for my V2X? Could i use my phone? The headset will be wired (through the jack) into my ps5 controller. Any help/advice greatly appreciated🤝🏼
the oval-shaped earcups were too small for me. ears touched on them. which produced heat, defeating the purpose of "breathing". used blackshark v2 pro wireless. have to find something like hyperx cloud stinger which has larger cups. 0:49 you can even see they are on the smaller side.
I'll take 3.5mm connectors over USB any day since I always prefer to use my amp for headphones and USB dongles tend to just get left in the box for me, because my amp can deliver waaaaay better sound than proprietory USB can
Problem is the mic anh headphones share the same ground and if you plug the headphone into your amp and the mic into your pc, you get a groundloop problem.
I'm gonna just get the v2x then great video thanks. I don't like removable mics from my experience after a while you start to get static/feedback. But for me the lower end set will do the job perfectly.
i got the blackshark v2 and its a great headset with the sound well designed and great reception in game the only problem is the padding is quite weak after 3 months i found myself getting headaches after wearing for 2 hours which is quite a short session for me so just be aware of that is you a prone to headaches quite easily other wise great headset
Not bad from Razer. Love what they are doing recently. I’m not gonna be switching from my Logitech for a while I think, but if they keep this up, maybe in a year or two, I’ll be ready to go full Razer again
I know this video is nearly a year old but I'd love to see the mic with default settings vs once you've added filters and such to it. Just to get an idea on how much you can improve it. Obviously it would need different settings for your own voice but I'm just curious with how good you can get it to sound with some time put into adjusting it

Bruh, how come the V2 X sounds better than the V2?
The V2 sounds like someone's farting in the background.
Maybe because it’s not detachable
its because of the soundcard, somehow razer headsets mic sounds alot worst when you connect it through the souncard.
tbh the Kraken X and Kraken 2019 were really similar that the only diff was like the 40 vs 50mm drivers, aluminium construction and the retractable mic (latter 2 ain't present in the former)
and honestly coming from a Kraken TE the Kraken X are really good for me cuz they are not only light but they are also not clamping hard like the heavier ones do.
even the cardiod mic is the SAME just that the budget one can't retract and u have to bend up. that's about it
tho im amazed the V2 sounds more raspy than V2x. i thought it'd be like the same
well that's odd
Maybe he has a soundcard better than the V2's USB one
7:35 Mic review
Mic on the V2 X is better.
I know right. I wish that the V2 mic was better because it is more expensive.
yep 💯
It's always like this
You can have a similar mic or even better on the V2 if you go trough the parameters
@@m4kill934 yeah but stock the v2 x is better
I think the cheaper V2 X mic sounds better than the V2, just sounds more natural and doesn't have as much as a digital tone to it.
Ya sometimes on the v2 it would sound like louder and distorted
Thats because of the usb sound card razer provided
SO TRUE
Yes I agree
So its best to choose v2x over v2?

For some reason, the "premium" version sounds worse than the normal. It's like the mike difference between the corsair virtuoso se and normal virtuoso. The normal one sounds a lot better for the razer blackshark v2s.
Yeah, Idk why the v2x sound better mic quality wise. I bought the v2 for sound quality and comfort, not the mic, because I have a separate mic. But yeah, I wish the mic was better on the v2.
@@orangethesaberguy7638 you can plug it straight into the computer though without the extension dongle
According to Razer's website, you only get the 7.1 surround sound software with the V2 X... with the V2 however, you get their THX spatial audio which is supposed to be better than the regular surround sound they had.
@@royandsuz I would look in the Xbox One audio/sound settings man
I got a Ps5 could some1 help me in how I can I download the surround sound for my V2X? Could i use my phone? The headset will be wired (through the jack) into my ps5 controller. Any help/advice greatly appreciated🤝🏼
the oval-shaped earcups were too small for me. ears touched on them. which produced heat, defeating the purpose of "breathing". used blackshark v2 pro wireless. have to find something like hyperx cloud stinger which has larger cups. 0:49 you can even see they are on the smaller side.
I'll take 3.5mm connectors over USB any day since I always prefer to use my amp for headphones and USB dongles tend to just get left in the box for me, because my amp can deliver waaaaay better sound than proprietory USB can
Problem is the mic anh headphones share the same ground and if you plug the headphone into your amp and the mic into your pc, you get a groundloop problem.
Man! Razer keeps surprising us with these unannounced peripherals.
I'm gonna just get the v2x then great video thanks. I don't like removable mics from my experience after a while you start to get static/feedback. But for me the lower end set will do the job perfectly.
no man
Razer Blackshark V2 or HyperX Cloud 2 better sound ? 63euro vs 86 euro which should i get ? Or HyperX Cloud Stinger 58 euro ?
Just bought the V2 X. I am watching this video wearing it right now, great headsets ngl
When he says “fuck this game”😂😂
looks like a hyperx headset tbh and those are pretty good so thats nice
Except the mic is better, imo hyperx headset mics are terrible. Too quiet and too much hiss
@@t2factor18 I don't get that with mine
@@NickBrown-hw2yj can I ask what audio drivers you have?
@@t2factor18 the mic on my cloud II is crystal clear. Ive had friends compare it to the blue snowball and said it was clearer.
Looks like Gamescom commander rebrands to me
is it just me or my mic sounds like a Broken television
Love the review thank you!
dawg as a long term owner of the headphones they're shit tbh left ear is quieter sometimes and the sound is ok ass if untuned
thanks Bro your videos always help !! I have had the V2, wanted to know the difference with the V2X to buy a pink one for the girlfriend.
People here on christmas --->
Edit- thanks frank for liking
“Permanently stuck in the ear cup”
My dog- you fool
i got the blackshark v2 and its a great headset with the sound well designed and great reception in game the only problem is the padding is quite weak after 3 months i found myself getting headaches after wearing for 2 hours which is quite a short session for me so just be aware of that is you a prone to headaches quite easily other wise great headset
Your channel logo design is genius
Just thought one. Super stoked. Nothing like a new headset.
Not bad from Razer. Love what they are doing recently. I’m not gonna be switching from my Logitech for a while I think, but if they keep this up, maybe in a year or two, I’ll be ready to go full Razer again
What Logitech do u use?
@@kriskarakoev733 rip
I know this video is nearly a year old but I'd love to see the mic with default settings vs once you've added filters and such to it. Just to get an idea on how much you can improve it. Obviously it would need different settings for your own voice but I'm just curious with how good you can get it to sound with some time put into adjusting it
It’s a shit headset, don’t waste your money.
@@schantelltajaard7854 which one v2 or v2x?
@@schantelltajaard7854 I got the BlackShark v2 X and it's awesome idk what your talking about...
@@schantelltajaard7854 what headset would you recommend? preferably, cheaper or the same price range of Razer BlackShark v2 X
why V2 X mic sound better
i think he had the mic too close
@JJ is weird Are you sure without the sound card if so am just gonna get the V2 X then for $59
Its beacause of the sound card that it makes the blackshark v2 sound worse than the v2 x
I want something cheap what do u think I should get? (I like watching movies and gaming)
Hyperx Cloud Stinger
Razer Kraken X
Logitech G332
Astro A10
Stealseries Artics Raw
