[@TheTechne]

Thank you all so so very much for the kind words and concern in the comments. I did just lose my Doberman / Leonardo (as seen in a few previous vids) the night before filming this vid. It took everything to stand in front of this camera and make this vid. He was my first dog, and a dang good one at that! I miss him so much. Again sorry for my lack of excitement or energy in this vid.

[@frozengamer3030]

I know how it feels to lose a pet. Things will get better

[@juicyanimator5080]

Sorry to hear that Techne, I honestly feel ya aswell. Hope you recover soon. :')

[@fendersb]

You don't have to apologize for anything! Hope you and your family are doing ok. I'm so sorry for your loss.

[@bionicchamp69]

My condolences. Losing a loved one can be hard. Thank you for the review today. Keep your head up.

[@Pinkfloyd1173]

Sorry about your loss man, I know how you feel. I lost my French Mastiff last Novmeber, she was my Babygirl!!!! I think about her everyday, Just know that he will always be with you!!!!

[@iSpenC]

LETS GO!! Make more mics like this! Glad to see an improvement like this on an already solid product. I feel like companies don’t improve their products like this often enough.

[@jeffcastillo1598]

Sorry for your lost 😢. I have these since you did a review 2 years ago. Your final thoughts are spot on for me. Saying that I’m gonna just spend the extra on the Turtle Beach stealth pros. Thanks for being honest in every review you do and for that I’ll always support you.

[@guiltygamerxrd]

Sorry for your loss Techne. I know that pain well. As far as the headset, looks great, if I hadn't already bought a set last year I'd be all over these. The mic sounded great. I still might get them anyway if I can get a good sale or promotion, I loved my wired Blackshark V2s.

[@TheGuittoMan]

what happened?

[@You-Tuber2024]

@@TheGuittoManlost his dog the night before making this video

[@indefj]

Great overview, cheers. Been using the old V2Pro daily since January 2021 and absolutely love it, the noise cancellation wipes out any fans/AC I have running and even cuts out noise from my filthy vaping habit. Comfort is top notch, have worn mine for many marathon sessions. New mic really sounds fantastic, will grab this if my old set ever dies.

[@jettreyc]

Love seeing (Or am I hearing?) wireless headset microphones getting better and better as time goes on

[@Alsemii]

I’m sorry for your loss and I appreciate your effort to push out this video. I hope you feel better and your dog is in a better place now

[@Phatsnake]

I’m sorry for your loss. You did an excellent job with the video all things considered. You convinced me to get the original one (wired) which was by far my favorite headset and now you convinced to get the 2023 pros. Thanks!

[@Sword8808]

Fantastic, having all the customization saved to the onboard memory allows it to be useful on console as well.

[@MahiruSenarathne]

Great video as always. Sorry for your loss brother 🙏

[@ironporix4917]

I hope everything is ok because you don't sound like before

[@kevclark8661]

probably just less exciting products

After all that years, i guess i found a new headset to buy. Before that, I had like good headphones plus microphone but with that battery life and mic quality, yes its my new main. Thx mate.

[@krebsgewehr]

Man, sorry to hear about Leonardo! You still managed to bring one of the best headset reviews. I expected them just to throw usb c in those and call it a day but they really brought it.

[@griffin20]

I freaking love these I bought the original 2021 version and tried many different headphones even audiophile headphones and always came back to these.

[@gordonchen9533]

I frickin love my Blackshark V2 Pro. I'm happy they upgraded it, but mostly disappointed they didn't go full V3. Hopefully they have a V3 Pro in the works.

[@zachromero5637]

Great vids bro you helped me choose my new headset. Got the Hyperx Cloud Flights on sale for $75 and couldn’t be happier. I was wondering what model that sick Razer sound bar is you’re using.

[@krispykrunkdonut]

This is CRAZY. thanks for the mic comparison. that sold me. what a freaking difference.

[@The_Real_Foast]

Thanks for the review man... gotta get that thing ordered🚚

[@jeremyallen4653]

I like mic better on the 2023’s but noticed the software adjustments/settings more noticeable on the originals. Did anyone else notice this?

[@_Command_]

Sorry for your loss. We really appreciate you coming on to record a video for us even after a extremely tragic loss.

[@Nichlaskrell]

i really hope this can be the push to headset mics, that's been needed for years. I used to use an external mic, but recently found out i really just enjoy the simplicity of putting your headset on, adn you're ready. I will 100% be getting this headset over the Blackshark v2 i got currently.

[@JohnSmith-jy9ux]

Amazing review! Just thought about buying a new headset. Probably will pick this one up. Sorry for your loss❤️

[@wintersoldier4269]

nice review you hit every question i had... especially the sidetone! what one do u think is better this headset vs cloud alpha wireless?

[@GearObsession]

Thank you for another awesome review!!!

[@defi_ramsay]

i really enjoy your reviews man !

[@griffMcTall]

Been looking at your videos to decide on a wireless headset. That microphone seems MILES ahead of any other one youve shown. Maybe you cannplay with software with other the microphones but this one seems like the winner for me.

[@qiguo1917]

Hi! New to the channel, I really appreciate those great review videos of yours. Would you recommend this new 2023 BlackShark V2 Pro over the Kraken V3 Pro? To me, I value the audio quality the most, so how does the 2023 Blackshark audio sound compare to the Kraken v3 Pro in your opinion?

[@joehenryscoolable]

Techne always has great unbiased reviews. Definitely sub guys I find myself looking for his name overtime tech releases for that real in depth review!!! keep it up Techne

[@bearcreative4309]

Love your videos - been comparing these headsets non stop lately. Idea - take it or leave it - Your stinkin cozy line is dope BUT what if you had a scale for it?? That way we really get to know what is at the top of your list vs not. You're awesome. l8r

[@muzaffercolak1105]

Hi, thanks for video and a thought for your dog. Kairo pro wireless is it better ? Regards,

[@nurashidnoormohamad3572]

Thank you for the detailed comparison between these two model. I am wondering what is your point of view between this Pro2 2023 vs Steelseries Arctics Nova Pro wireless. I know the MIC is way better on this model vs Nova Pro.

[@Nemogamingdk]

My condolences there brother ! Also lost my dog some time ago, it is pain :( Keep up the good work though. You are a true heart person,. Love

[@stefanosicci9130]

Grazie sei sempre fantastico e dettaglato, nelle tue recensioni, mi hai fatto entrare tu nel mondo delle cuffie al quale mi sono appassionato molto, iniziando da Artics Pro Wirless e poi con Audeze Penrose e ora sono propenso ad acquistare le nuove Maxwell, tutto questo grazie a te uomo❤️🙏

Sorry for your loss. Are the earpads and war cups bigger and deeper than the arctis 7x wireless?

I still love my Razer BlackShark V2 Pro's...when are you going to review the cougar phontum S, I've been hearing some good things about those budget headphones and the cushions are really huge the biggest I've ever seen on any headset

[@serbianfinest1]

Need help deciding between these and the steelseries arctis nova 7p which one would u pick and why

[@amduciaszx9023]

Been on my beloved Arctis 3 for 6 years through multiple pad and cable swaps, looking at this V2 Pro. Man, im finding it tough to leave SteelSeries but highly tempted. Serviceability is so important to me. Thanks for this Great Video Techne.

[@sindekai]

thanks for the review!! i really like it

[@rudeoff]

Mic sounds pretty good, didn’t seem like any of the changes like the noise cancellation did anything though.

[@optimusjgar]

Hey Techne. Do you know if the ear cushions are removable for the 2023 version?

[@giovannigrillone1601]

Hi What you think are the best gaming headset at this moment??

Losing a pet is like losing family. You will see your dog again one day, he's chilling in paradise waiting for you. I'm sure of it. Never truly gone

Sorry about your loss homie. Hes in a much cozier place now. Take a break and take your time. We ain't going no where, well be right here when feel better.

[@Cobusftwmahoniez]

What type of pads are these? I love the ones i have on the hyper X cloud II, but i need something wireless :D

Do you know if you can use the bluetooth to get the sound from an apple Tv? Would be awesome!

what are the best wired headset's for the ps4 with great mic sound and ear cups that do not get your ear's hot at all ? i don't like noise canceling ear cups''

[@eluv2401]

You ok? Enthusiasm feels down. Love my original V2’s but agree that the highs need an uptick on PS5. Just a little. Great review.

[@rodrigofernety]

Dude! Get well soon ❤ we understand! Thank you

[@eddiegonzalez3669]

Was this the 3rd unannounced headset you mentioned you were comparing with the maxwell and TB stealth pro in your last video?

[@Mrvides99]

Would these be a good choice for rainbow six siege where footsteps are very important to hear ? Or any recommendations to hear good footsteps

[@chunkyrunner]

Great videos bro 👌

[@bammerjones8722]

I am sorry for loss. Good review and glad that Razer made the mild upgrade, but getting rid of the 3.5mm jack is a pass for me. For the price, bluetooth should have been simultaneous. I am going to hold on to the original V2.

[@Cheesey_Man45]

is the sidetone on the new ones robot like? i just got a pair and it sounds like a robot but the actual mic input sounds fine

[@insaiyan8320]

When customizing eqs to save to the headset, does it let you save sidetone on the headset so it’s active on console?

[@Muzzymart_]

Should I get this or the steel series nova 7s?

[@tolikowens]

Did they improved the range on wireless connection.

[@abcd88755]

If you use these on Xbox with the 3.5 can u still use custom EQ’s ? And does the headset still run off the battery in the headset?

[@jordanlara2800]

The frequency of these headphones is 12 - 28000, right? But are these numbers when connected via usb or also wirelessly? It happened to me with the HyperX cloud flight that these sounded a little louder when connected.

[@user-re9es8tf4q]

Please review the Sony MDR-MV1 and the Audeze MM-100, I believe it uses same driver as the Maxwell.

[@tara1x]

this headset is SUPER cozy however it does hurt the top of my head after a couple hours into gaming. i did have the wired blackshark v2 before and it was so incredibly light. the mic also sounds the same as the wired one which i guess is pretty nice considering it’s wireless but i heard a mic test from someone else and it sounded better than a stand up mic stock

[@blindman8093]

which do you prefer in terms of fps game like warzone 2.0? razor v2 pro 2023 or the logitech g pro x2?

[@RohitRaj-ot7bo]

Between these and epos h6 pro which will be better , I listen to music most of the time and play a few multiplayer with the Bois at night . Which of the two headset would be better

[@joshuacastle8701]

Does the mic quality sound that good on console, or just PC?

[@bangjoe7845]

how does the mic compare to the Corsair HS80? It would be better if this 2023 version used a USB type-c dongle instead of bluetooth

[@damiancairns]

Better than the kaira pro version? In terms of sound don't they use the exact same? TIA

[@chrisD4225]

Do they have a Chat / game sound adjustment?

[@GunlogicsTV]

These or try the stealth pro or astro a40 with mix amp pro for sound?

[@Smaki_999]

Is it better then the arctis nove 7p for mainly ps5 use?

[@S0RR0WSPELL]

Awesome review!

[@risby5358]

THANK YOU for actually examining the sidetone feature and confirming its quality. So many reviews gloss over the side tone features of headsets without spending any time in it... and those headsets are terrible for it.

[@Mark-ns3jo]

Did you get this headset and if so, how is the sidetone? It's so important to me.

[@risby5358]

@@Mark-ns3jo It's really good! You have some room to adjust the sidetone volume. There is more background hiss, the closer you get to the max sidetone volume. I put it a little below the max so you get a good amount of sidetone without the background noise.

[@jcnichols9915]

Can you please do a video on the Maxwell vs the corsair virtuoso rgb wireless xt?

[@michaelthompson9798]

This headset is nice looking, especially in white 🤩🤤👍. Mic quality I think is within a pinch, as good as the Corsair HS80 🥰💪which is amazing!🤯. Having a larger battery imo is worth it for those loooong gaming sessions …. And when you forget to charge it after, you get another looooong session available to you 🔋🪫. Razer did extremely well with the 2023 Blackshark 2

[@Caboose12000]

Is adjusting the sidetone only available through software? I'm on linux and can't run razor software, so I can only buy headsets with something like an onboard volume rocker for sidetone

[@George-ps5]

This or the turtle beach steal pro? Thank you!

[@MrJanolaus]

It was mentioned nowhere but if you search about it, you will find that the 2023 version (still) has noise issues. So if you just connect it, and dont listen to anything you will hear a very very silent but noticable white noise. This was the reason I had to return the headset. If you enable the feature of hearing yourself, the noise will increase drastically and you will also notice a small very high beeping sound. (I have to admit that you wont hear it, if your ears are a little damaged or your older) But if you hear it, this is a complete dealbreaker. You will find a lots of things about it in the web. Sad, because I really liked the look and quality of the headset.

[@cshao90]

which microphone is better? blackshark V2 pro or audeze maxwell?

[@Sephiroth32vergil]

Is the bluetooth simultaneous with the 2.4ghz connection?

[@bionicchamp69]

Are you ok bro? You don't seem lively as usual today. Hope all is good.

[@JunkCat1]

i bought it used from amazon for half the price and it says only the manual is gone and the box is opened and its gonna arrive tomorrow and im really excited.

[@Marco__xS]

For console what would be better this or Epos h6pro ?

[@DanteBasso]

the razer app works on mac os? Like that is a version for Mac?

[@opheliocolita9555]

what should i buy steelseries nova 7 or blackshark v2 pro 2023?

I bought the older versions back in July and you're able to use the newer software on them. Obviously the 2023's are the way to go if you're needing a new set. Razer rocks !! 😎

[@wanapiss1918]

does it work if u just swap the mic at the headset?

[@ericcortez5328]

If it helps man, I can purchase these from your affiliate link to help you out, but I still hope you feel better. We are all here for you. Take some time off if you need to, we all understand. Much love!

[@reeksNA]

is the corsair virtuoso worth it?

[@levifig]

Question: when using the mic, do the headphones remain in high quality (44100Hz or more), or do they go down to "phone quality" (like under 10kHz or around there)? I find that the most annoying thing on my Sony XM1000s: if I start using the mic, their headphone quality goes down the drain… :X

[@Griffonul]

Uff, I just got the Razer Baracuda (2022) and I love them overall, but something is missing ... can't put my finger on it . Long story short I still have the option to return them and get something else, but I do not know if I should do that and what to get.... I used to have the Nari Ultimate, but I had an issue with them (after 2 years) and instead of replacing them, they refunded me ... but right now they doubled in price from 2 years ago.

[@rvs55]

How do they fare against the Maxwell?

[@jamiefinlay6674]

What’s the site to get the eq changed etc
