Razer BlackShark V2 Pro for PC - Wireless Premium Esports Gaming Headset (Bluetooth, TriForce Titanium 50 mm Drivers, HyperClear Supercardioid Mic) Black

Out of the box these headphones are pretty well built. Feel solid but not too heavy sitting on your head. The memory foam padding on the ear cushions and headband is very comfortable.I was a little disappointed by the sound quality at first. I use the headphones for gaming, listening to music and watching movies so I wanted good all round sound quality. The default (flat) EQ settings out of the box are not the best but once adjusted in Synapse the difference is night and day! (best EQ setting I've found are below). Music now sounds as good as it does on my £250 Sennheiser RS175s!Most importantly - TURN OFF THX SPATIAL. It's rubbish. It makes everything sound like you're in a tin can. If you want spatial sound for gaming then I've been using DTS Headphone X. It cost about £/$20 from the Windows store but it works brilliantly with these headphones! You really to get a sense of where the sound is coming from. Not just which direction its coming from but also the height its coming from. Full 3D sound! Its brilliant for gaming. I think you get a few weeks as a free trial so I'd highly recommend giving it a try. Windows Sonic (free with Windows 10/11) also works pretty well. You get a similar spatial affect but it seems to affect sound quality unlike DTS (not as bad as THX though!). You can also get Dolby Atmos for Windows which should offer a similar experience but I've not tried this yet so can't comment.All in all, highly recommended. No idea why the default EQ is so bad but once you adjust it you will have a top quality set of headphones, not just for gaming but for all round usage.EQ setting I'm using...31Hz -263Hz -1125Hz -3250Hz -3500Hz +11KHz 02KHz +34KHz -18KHz -416KHz +8

After being persuaded not to buy Corsair Virtuosos for lack of comfort, build and battery life, and being tired of HyperX's abysmal mic quality and the limited freedom of being wired, I arrived at this headset, and I'm 100% recommending this to anyone who truly cares about going wireless. With a bit of tweaking, this is also hands down one of the best wireless mics you can get.Build - 6/10Only had this for a few days, but a solid headset. It definitely doesn't feel like you can break this thing super easily, but I would recommend to be careful with it - as you are dealing with small mute and power buttons, thin adjustment rods, as well as a charging port that sits quite deep inside. The mic however is very rigid and of course detachable therefore replaceable.Sound Quality - 8/10Wired headsets like the HyperX cloud do have phenomenal sound quality, and this Razer headset cannot quite match it in that area - but, it is incredibly well balanced, not too bassy, not too loud and not too quiet. If you turn the volume on the headset towards max though, you start hearing a slight buzzing sound from the earcups. I've seen this complaint on several different wireless headsets though; and plus you can't hear it if something else is playing. Keeping the volume neutral is plenty loud enough for gaming and listening to music.Mic quality - 9/10Word of warning - mic quality on wireless headsets is generally always bad. The microphone on the Blackshark V2 pro does not offer to change that. With no software tweaks it's really bad, but there's a very good reason why this was my #1 choice on mic quality in the wireless range. Razer Synapse software allows you to adjust the EQ of your mic - and I've found some perfect settings that make it sound unbelievably good for a headset, never mind a wireless one. If you don't want to tweak, you can stick the 'broadcast' preset on to get the most out of this. I personally use [4,3,2,1,-1,-8,-7,0,1,2].Comfort - 8.5/10This headset sits comfy and you can forget it's on, but it's obviously a tad heavier than your average wired one. That being said, if comfort is a concern, this headset will not disappoint you - my ears don't get hot or start hurting, it stays on and is easy to adjust with the rod system by just pulling it around.Range - 7/10This headset works from about 10-15ft away, if you're planning to stray a few rooms away it should be fine, but don't expect it to work from downstairs or the other end of a large house.
