    - Blackshark is best for fps games
    - Kraken is best for open world games and immersive gameplay
    - Kaira is best for gaming on console
    - Barracuda is best for everyday use and most premium
    - Hammerhead is small wireless earbuds

    I’m a pc gamer! Is the black shark v2 pros better than the kraken v3 pros for footsteps in games like Escape from Tarkov, R6, Apex, CoD, and Valorant. Which one would you recommend footsteps? Please respond asap as I need your expertise.

    • @GamersClinic
      @GamersClinic  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Dakota! Out of the box without any tuning, the Blackshark V2 Pro is slightly better with 3D positional audio when used together with a virtual surround software like Razer’s THX Spatial audio or Dolby DTS for Headphones. Though with some EQ tuning for the Kraken V3 Pro in the 125-1K Hz, the Krakens can also deliver spatial audio better than the default settings, though the only downside is that you will need to re-tune for each game as the footsteps are “boosted” by different frequencies from experience. Hope this helps ^^

    You thing the pro model worthy the extra cost to replace my wireless model?

      Hi @Toleador73! If you already own the Kaira wireless for PS5, there's no need to get the pro model. Wait for an updated revision of their headset with their Hypersense feature if you really want to experience it. (Though honestly speaking, it's fun at first to use, but gets tiring after a while hehe)

    I was thinking about getting either the kaira pro or the kraken v3 pro. I want to use these with ps5 and on PC for flat games like star citizen on PC and especially for VR games with the PSVR2. I'm leaning towards the kraken v3 pro because it has thx spatial audio for PC and it looks like it has an auxiliary port that I can plug into the psvr2 headset. From what I have seen the only aux port on the kaira pro is for the detachable mic. My concern is that that aux port on the kaira pro can't be used for psvr2, do you know if that's the case? I assumed its only for the optional mic. I also don't need the Bluetooth on the kaira either. Trying to decide between these 2 headsets. I mainly want to use with psvr2 and I want to have thx spatial audio when I use with PC.

    Hello sir, I love your video and i am still confuse to choose between kraken v3 pro and barracuda pro. My headset is cloud 2 old version(2015) and i lost my sound card right now. Barracuda pro price is $127 and kraken v3 pro is $108 for my place with 12.12 discount. I play call of duty, and some open world games and listening to music.Kraken v3 pro is better 3d positional than barracuda pro? I also interesting the haptic from kraken. Damn hard to choose. Barracuda price is also the steal price right now actually both. Please what should I choose? I know Barracuda mic is suck but i use mic for talking each other when playing game.

      Hi Oak! Thank you for the feedback.
      I know the difficulty you are feeling, it's how I felt when I only have enough budget for one headset when they all first released.
      My opinion is, if you already have a surround software like Dolby DTS, THX Spatial audio, then the Barracuda Pros will also be able to deliver good enough 3D positional audio. Between the Kraken V3 Pro and Barracuda for COD MW, I would choose the Barracuda Pros. However, as the earcups are fully leatherette, it might not last as long as the earcups on the Kraken V3 Pro.
      As for the Hypersense haptic feedback, it's a fun feature to have especially if you are trying it for the first time. Some will love it, some will not.
      At the discounted price, it is definitely a great deal, so any choice would be fine. The only thing you might be missing out would just be bluetooth connectivity if you go with the Kraken V3 Pros. The audio quality for music is also slightly better on the Barracuda Pro, but it's not so big of a difference like night and day.
      Hope this helps 😉

    After about 3 years I’m going to retire my nari. I loved this headset, but it broke at the swivel part (I’ve super glued one side a year or so ago and been find now the other side broke and I did the same) I wasn’t sure if I should go for the blackshark or barracuda. Thx spatial audio is by far the best surround sound I’ve witnessed. Are these better than the nari?

    • @GamersClinic
      @GamersClinic  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi TiTANx9! RIP Nari. I felt the same when my Man O War died two years ago. As for your new headset, if you loved how the Nari sound, then the Blackshark V2 Pro will have the closest soundstage (though is is based on me comparing to the Nari Ultimate, not sure if it is the same as your Nari). The bass is more boomy.
      However, if you also listen to a lot of music and want bluetooth connectivity, then the Barracuda and Barracuda Pro will be a better choice. As for spatial audio, the Blackshark is slightly better (just a little bit), but both are very capable headsets for FPS games.
      Hope this helps 😉

      Hi Iron Disciple! Thank you for watching and the feedback. Generally speaking, Pro versions of Razer headsets will usually have a slightly better driver and better tuned audio compared to their mainstream models. Sometimes they will also throw in a couple of extra features/functions to increase the selling price. But unless there is a particular feature that you need on a PRO model, usually the mainstream model is enough for general gaming 😉

    Great video! I was thinking about which of these to buy, and I definetly couldn't get neither the Kraken nor the Barracuda because of the leatherette, and the Kaira is not of much use as I play on the PC only. I'll probably wait for a new Blackshark, one with longer battery, ANC, and USB-C connectivity to be released before making a purchase.

      Hi DeathSquad! Thank you for the feedback. If you are not in a hurry to get a new headset, then waiting for the new Blackshark would definitely be a good strategy as I have a feeling that the Blackshark is due for an update. That way, you will be getting the latest tech from Razer. Let's just hope Razer does a good job on the refresh >

      Hi Vince! Thanks for always watching. As for your question, if you don't mind the less boomy bass, don't really need the best 3D positional audio, and don't mind paying extra, the Barracuda Pro could be an upgrade as it works wirelessly with more devices than the Blackshark V2 Pro. But depending on if you plan to use it with mobile devices, and the Switch in handheld mode, it could also be better to stay with the Blackshark V2 Pro >< (Hard question indeed lol)

Idk if I care too much to have a wired or wireless headset but for the prices I got for both idk which is more worth it. I bought the razer blackshark v2 x for $50 and the kaira pro for $90. The blackshark v2 x is $10 off original price and the kaira pro is $60 off regular price. I do like both headsets I just don’t know which one is more worth to keep over the other lol

      @GamersClinic  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi LK! Unfortunately, due to Microsoft using their own wireless connection protocol, most headsets that come with an adapter will not work unless it uses Microsoft's connection method, so most headsets will only work wirelessly with PC+PS4/5 and not Xbox, or the other way around (only xbox but not pc+PS4/5).
      So one good headset that I know can work with all platforms is the Steelseries Nova Pro Wireless. It uses a wired USB connection to the Xbox and other gaming consoles to its control unit, and then wirelessly transmits the signal to the headset, but it costs a whopping $350. Hope this helps ^^
