I had a ton of people reaching out to see if the new microphone works on the old Blackshark V2 Pro - So here's a video to answer that burning question! I also cover EQ again, as well as pad swap compatibility. I hope this video helps you out! kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJfMe2puYp2hq9E

[@naten971]

I have a few questions! Could I email you?

[@faiznrsyd]

great work on the video! very detail and easy to understand so far for me, it is very detailed explanation especially in that sound quality, it is kind of rare to see the reviewer included the sound graph measurement, well done!

[@MacheteJake]

Sum everything up in 2 words - Good Job. Exactly what I needed to make my informed purchase. You got a sub. Long video but because it was 100% useful info with no filler it seemed 15 mins long. Don’t ever change!

[@qurtsy450]

Just came across your channel. I love the honesty and please never change that aspect about you going forward. Also dont think that making other peoples decision harder is a bad thing. You gave the pros and the cons w/ better knowledge of other things that are out there. If someone is spending money on a product that is made by several companies, all at different prices and qualities, its good have people trully understand what they're buying and if ots what there looking for. You did an amazing job and pointing out the pros and cons of different uses w/ the headset. You have my sub! ❤

I didn’t have a lot of trouble with synapse. it crashed once while updating. But then it updated just fine. Got the headset up on synapse and altered the mic and EQ settings just fine too! It worked greatly and I’m happy. For me - I only use sound canceling and sidetone on the mic. Every other mic setting is turned off. I would recommend making sure that noise gate is OFF. Trust me, the sound cancelling is enough! I’m on PS5. My friends say that my son sounds really really far away even when he is talking to me normally in the same room. Other mics would sound like he is on the mic too hahaha. My friends tell me that it is the best most clear mic they have ever heard me use. Happy! Satisfied! Everything! Thanks y’all! I hope this helped you decide!

[@ScubaProDiver]

My question is, can you adjust the microphone settings without using Synapse ? Lol. I have a MAC and Synapse isn’t available on MAC. My Blackshark V2 Pros arrive Wednesday so I’ll be curious to see how it goes.

[@bystander7114]

@@ScubaProDiver you’ll need synapse in order to get the options adjusted and saved onto the onboard memory chip in the headset. I do not know much else to help your question tbh. I use this for PS5 solely. Yes I can Bluetooth to my phone or use it on windows but I don’t do it often. Just ps5. If I were you, I’d borrow a close friend or family members windows and let them know you’ll uninstall the app when finished. Also, I googled about it - looks like synapse 2 can be installed on Mac, but I don’t think this headset with be detected on synapse 2? No idea. Best of luck :) it’s a great headset out the box anyway it has some EQ’s pre installed, and the mic is wonderful!

Wait till you get Windows 11. Not even a whole month, and iam 4 support tickets in :)

[@ahmedmahmood412]

I'm so glad I watched your video. Exactly the type of review someone would like to see before making a purchase. I got these delivered yesterday and oh god its so good. I wanted to use these on phone calls as well but unfortunately the synapse app isn't available on android. For my windows laptop this works like a charm, slack calls, zoom calls, Google meet name it...

[@bystander85]

Thanks for the detailed review. I come from using studio reference headphones (e.g. Sony MDR-7506 and JD Audio IEMs), but have been looking for a wireless headset with mic for couch gaming on PC only. Which brand and model would you recommend that's the most hassle free (i.e. minimal or no software) and balanced frequency response that would be a good fit for a discerning listener like myself?

[@Sep000001]

Thanks for the review, having mainly razer peripherals I wanted to love the BS v2 Pro 2023. I tried using the auto eq aiming for Harman curve, but the exported EQ sounds very muddy and muffled. Any tips? Thank you.

[@jimhead2687]

Merci, excellente vidéo d’analyse !

[@huggablepenguin1465]

5:15 I am so happy you are mentioning this. I cannot stress this enough - comfortable headsets for glasses are SO rare. I'm currently wearing Black Shark V2 + usb sound card (wired) and my rabbit chewed the cable, so only one side works, which is why I'm looking for the wireless option. These are SO! INCREDIBLY! COMFORTABLE! Previous headsets had me tearing up because of how bad my frames would hurt my head. I couldn't wear a pair for more than 2h. Including Razer Kraken X. But Black Shark are just...the best. By far the most comfortable headset I have ever purchased. I just wish there was a pink option for these.

[@Hansnore]

Yeah, for this reason only, i have underwent a LASIK procedure x) And then i bought the Blackshark V2 Pro... Well, at least in case of an car accident, i wont get my eyes gouged out. No for real, headsets that don't mangle your mandibular joints/push your spectacles deep inside your skull are so freaking rare. Eating with Corsair Voids on my dome was a nightmare. The Blacksharks just feel like nothing's on your head. And they cling to your head just enough, I could comfortably workout with them at home during covid era. And i heard the 2023 edition is even more streamlined with the earcup filling. I'm drooling for the updated version. If anyone's wondering, after 28 months of daily 4 hour (at least) use, the battery still holds up well. Iam at 18 hour regular volume use time. It sounds puny but still, that's at least 2 days of heavy use. With more volume, this drops drastically. Should not be a problem on the 2023 edition with USB-C charging WHICH IS WAY FASTER. The old version takes about two hours to top up. Well, there goes another paycheck x)

[@East0n13]

Hey man! Great reviews and tests, thanks a lot! I'm looking for a good headset and checked hundreds reviews already. SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless looks good but a bit expensive for me and I don't want to have any additional stuff on my table. I don't care about bluetooth or ANC, I will use it only with my PC via dongle. Mic is pretty important as I play mostly shooters with teammates and I don't plan to buy an external mic. Also I need to be sure that I can go to another room without any issues with sound (~15m radius). Budget is about 200 Eur. Now I'm choosing between SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7 and Razer Blackshark V2 Pro 2023. How do you think? Or maybe there is some other better options? Thanks in advance👍

[@erikk_pa3694]

Subscribed for your honesty. I have one question and hoping for your answer. Im currently using hyperx cloud core wireless, would u recomend upgrading to this? Considering current one causes my ears to become hot and spicy after long sessions. Asking not about only comfort, I mean 200 dollar headphones has to sound better than 100 dollar ones, sometimes even 60 bux you can grab them.

[@mitchisreal]

regarding the Synapse install issue, try running it either on Safe Mode with networking or run it as administrator. It might be your pc stopping it from fully installing.

[@GadgetryTech]

Thank for the tips. I did end up getting it working after about 30-45 minutes of work, which was the point I was trying to make on that part. It should be that level of a hassle for it to work quickly.

[@jaxxedup]

I picked up a pair of these the other week and was wondering if you had any advice for the popping noises that you sometimes get or even like a quiet hissing sometimes that comes and goes randomly?

[@brinzy6160]

I bought these today after my steelseries arctis 7p wireless took a crap after 24 hours. These are wonderful. No complaints whatsoever.

[@tylertheguy4749]

i bought the old version (2020) by accident, i thought it was the 2023 version from amazon. So far, amazing headphones. I got some settings off youtube and honestly was perfect. The mic clearness and sound quality are amazing. Coming for logitech g533 and the upgrade of quality and comfortable fit, is such a huge upgrade. I ended up getting a used but like new quality from amazon for $80 and got lucky it was in amazing condition. Overall lucky and happy with the upgrade, regardless of the accidental older version buy.

[@hsjawanda]

Could you re-review that latest version of Synapse? How does the 2023 version fit over large heads? Comparable to the Audio Technica ATH-M50x(STS-USB) in that respect? I find the Audio Technicas to be the best fitting over larger heads.

[@Mr.Reality]

Just got this headset and I love it. I'm using your EQ settings and it's amazing.

[@epernado]

[@Sizzyl]

I think the thing you mentioned at 8:45 (This Shouldn't Have Happened) has been fixed through firmware updates since this vid released? As for making discord sound good, turning off echo cancellation and noise suppression.

[@MoodyDudey]

@@officialjc4899 It’s a great headset, but to be honest, I don’t have a lot to go off of. I’ve not used any other headsets. Sound quality and mic quality is amazing. The 2 downsides are that you can’t listen to Bluetooth and the console you’re plugged into at the same time, and the cushions aren’t big enough to keep your ear off the speaker wall. It’s not unbearable, but I’m looking for aftermarket ear cushions, but I can’t find any yet.

[@harpalbhullar6402]

[@torchwork8651]

So what headsets would you recommend that have a removable flexible mic with channel mixing? I have turtle beach elites but they broke.

[@raphamarquez4999]

Awesome review, you really deserve more subs! Do you have any recommendations on Discord settings when using your Mic eq?

[@GadgetryTech]

Honestly I haven't done too much on the mic EQ lately, but it can also come down to how your voice sounds (deeper vs higher pitch). I typically reduce low bass, add 2-3 dB to the 100-125hz region, reduce 1khz and 2khz by 2dB, and go from there. That often takes away the nasal sound most gaming headset mics have.

[@user-re9es8tf4q]

Please review the new Sony MDR-MV1 as well as the Audeze MM-100.

[@Ryotsu2112]

Just got one of these from Amazon (came in yesterday). Downloaded Synapse and got the latest firmware for the headset (from July). Regarding the usual complaints I see from some commenters every time someone talks about these: No Synapse software crashes at all over several hours of messing around with it, no strange hissing sounds when using PS5, no issues connecting to Bluetooth on an Apple TV unit, on my PC, or my PS5, no issues with latency, no issues with connecting to the dongle from 5 feet away on either my PC (I also sit on the couch when gaming on my PC and use wireless keyboard and MMO mouse from there) or the PS5. They sound GREAT and are as comfortable as everyone says. I might have gotten the Logitech G Pro x2 Lightspeed headset instead, but I didn’t want to spend 50.00 more after already spending 200.00. I got an extended warranty simply because some people always complain about these headphones, but it seems there may have been quality control issues in those cases. I love mine so far, and I’m glad I made the purchase.

[@PumatSol]

Did you notice that the volume and EQ changes when you close Synapse? It’s supposed to retain your custom EQ but if I’m listening to something with Synapse open and then exit it from the system tray I can hear a distinct change in sound quality. Can you replicate this?

do you think the gpro x2 comes close to this headset? well for certain we knnow micc quality the x2 sucks but like what you said soundstage and etc all that

how well do these headphones block background noise or people chatting in the background? I have the corsair virtuoso and feel they don't do a very good job at isolating the backgroiund sound. can still be heard, pc fans, even a fan low speed set across the room can still be heard.

[@symbionproject]

Great to see a review that includes actual measurements. Can you elaborate a bit on what your measurement methods are (measurement system, audio content, etc)? There are a few different ways to measure headphones and I'd be interested to know your approach. thanks!

[@GadgetryTech]

I use an IE711 coupler with XLR interface mounted to a full dual plate, dual pinna system. The pinna is modeled after the older Gras ear mold. The whole measuring rig is about a grand. Hope that helps!

Does this headset have an Awareness Mode type feature that allows outside noise in? I need to be able to hear "past" them.

[@YGHRT]

I've had this headset for two months (2023 edition), and I'm not recommending it, I've also had the squeaking noise from the vide, and it turned into the plastic just disintegrating where the yoke meets the headband, that's where the noises came from in the video as well. Not a user error, as I did not threw it around the room, when it was off it sat on a headphone stand and the desk. This seems like a QC issue to me, as the plastic did not broke but disintegrated into small pieces/dust, even the screwthreads broke inside there. Apart from this it sounded great, and mic was good as well, with great battery life, and never had issues with synapse.

[@ForTN0X]

There is definitly a noise reduction enabled somewhere in the mic. You can clearly hear those artifacts!

Stealth Pro has better sound than the Blackshark V2 Pro. Blacksharks have a bass boost but it makes the mid range kind of dark and doesn't seem to have as much detail. The Pros still have some nice bass but are much more clear sounding.

At first I thought +34 mins, no way...but now I'm happy I stuck around. Really complete to the point review. Could've done with some deeper thoughts on the in-game surround sound experience though, because I find that much more important than the microphone (which I barely use). In comparison, the Logitech G935 I had for a couple of years was super at 3D positional audio, but the SteelSeries Arctis 9x I recently bought (and immediately sent back) was horrible. Still not sure if I should go with this 2023 Blackshark V2 Pro 2023.

Does this have to do with updating or synapse ? If so what do I do cause I don’t have a gaming pc

[@ScubaProDiver]

As someone who is a huge nerd when it comes to video game accessories and spends too much money on these things I can give my two cents on a few of the “top” headsets on the market right now. 1. SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless - fantastic headset. Sound quality is great but if you’re a console gamer I actually wouldn’t suggest it. What makes the headset so great is the Sonar software which isn’t available for console. You can use the included DAC to make 1 custom EQ profile and use the built-in EQ profiles and that’s about it. Still a great headset. 2. Turtle Beach Stealth Pro - Pretty much just released at the end of April and this headset is a gaming headset. Especially for console gamers. No need to use the software on PC/MAC since they have the Turtle Beach app and everything you do on the app transfers to the headset for use on console. Create a custom EQ for sound and your Mic and you even have their “Superhuman Hearing” which I say put to “footsteps” mode and lower it to 30-40% for best results. If you want a headset for single player games and FPS and you are a console gamer this is probably the top headset to get on the market but has a steep price tag. 3. Audeze Maxwell - don’t own this headset. Don’t plan on owning it. Not my style of audio but have watched a couple reviews on it and can see that it primarily excels at music/movie listening with gaming second. Software/app not as user friendly as Turtle Beach. Also not readily available to purchase. You can drop $400+ to wait for your headset to drop in June and who wants to wait that long 4. Razer Blackshark V2 Pro - my pair is arriving this Wednesday so I can’t speak on audio quality but Im curious to see how these “pro EQ” profiles sound and if they’re any good. Pretty much purchased it for that and the incredible mic quality. Notable mentions of headsets I own but didn’t talk about - Stealth 700 Gen 2 MAX, Sony InZone H9, Astro A30s. All great in their own way but definitely none of them are the top tier in gaming audio if you want FPS but all pretty good for single player games. If you read all this then you made it to the end ✌️

This Headset brought me so much trouble. It worked fine for 2 weeks, until I had added new RAM sticks to my System. After that my Dongle stopped working and I needed 4h to fix it to the point where my Headset was showing in devices again. And then every Video or audio source froze as soon as i had enabled it´s sound. When I muted the audio source it started playing again. Couldn´t find any fix and took about 6 hours of me trying to fix it. Support also had no Idea. Refunded!
