This is why I love Dimitri's videos, high quality videos, honest opinions on each product and a in depth test with rivaling products. In order to ensure you (the consumer) make the best decision possible. P.s. I got a Logitech G Pro X recently, and I and really pleased with it.
Picture quality, slight humor, objectiveness and overall professionalism is a step above the rest as far as independent channels go. Dimitri adds that one bit of emotion and humility the other hosts on this channel lack, no offense intended.
Thank you!! for actually showing exactly how the headset adjusts it's height. I've seen plenty of headset reviews just recently and I see people skipping the most obvious and basic things like that.. 😐
Razer: we have a really good microphone on this headset Also Razer: let's put an USB sound card for that Razer quality sound signature so they know they are using a Razer product.
An important thing that people should know before buying a headset that almost nobody talks about is the availability of replacement parts, mainly the cushions, given that this headset tend to last around 3 years but the cushions (in my case) only last about a year and then finding a replacement is a pain in the ass
I’ve been using the v2 x for 3 years now and i had no problems with it whatsoever, cushions are good sound quality is impressive for that price. The mic can be a little bit annoying on my Xbox or ps but is perfect when I use it on my pc. Overall i love it.
Oh hell yes! You don't know how happy I am for these. Used to have the original with the helicopter pilot aesthetic to it, had 2 of them, first one wore out naturally, the second one had a bad encounter with my ex. They were so expensive for the longest time and I just now find that these exist. I am SO FRIGGIN HAPPY! Now all we need is a new SteelSeries Merc Stealth Pro keyboard and I'm set again!
I owned the original Blackshark headset. I loved the comfort and the rugged, hard plastic with the streel headband was the perfect combination. The headset lasted me about 5 years with some repairs on the wiring.
The size adjustment is ass, these have no clicks so you dont know that both sides are exact the same size. Which causes unbalance in the audio if you have other side longer than the other.
I still feel like the comparison to MH751/752 is a missed opportunity in this review. I hope you will address it in the future! Also props for the product packages in the background of the shot. I'm glad that Razer chose to change their approach on the market starting with keyboards and now their most weak point which was always audio.
Yeah I'm googling like crazy through the entire internet trying to find a comparison with MH751 cuz mine pair just broke and I need to know whether I should buy a second pair or go for something new and last time I checked MH751/2 was the undefeated champion. So yeah... It frustrates me that literally no TH-camr compares them (this is like 4th review I'm binge-watching). Edit: I ordered the Razers and will edit this post soon with my personal comparison, nothing too techy just how it feels compared to mh752
@@bowbugs8855 bro, it have been passed almost 1 year.Will you please tell me about you opinion of Razer? Because I am also confused what should I buy, mh752 or blackshark v2
I won’t lie I think the v2x microphone sounds just a little bit better. It’s still not enough to put weight the other pros like the cushioning, software customization, and the addition of a dongle which could come in handy (you never know)
I've tried the V2 PRO version of this headset, the sound quality and the comfort is well worth the money BUT if your after the perfect headset for you then there are some things you should be aware of, the headset is really comfort the foam padding does a great job however the audio is abit of an acquired taste, it is really good and the software is great to play around with yet it seems to lack a richer, crisper sound that you do get with more expensive headsets right out of the box and the other thing I didn't like was the wire headband it's sturdy and I doubt it would break but you do find after a while that the headset can move or slide so you have to re-adjust the positioning from time to time which can be alittle annoying.
I didn’t see these messages, 6 months later and they’re still as good as new. No problems at all and they still sound great. Has to be the best gaming peripheral purchase I’ve ever made.
I have both models and seem to gravitate more to the V2x. I play on console and both sound damn near identical to me. However I like the earpads better on the V2 x as they are almost identical to Brainwavz Hybrid models. Microphone is also slightly clearer from what friends have told me.
Hey thanks for the review, really really helpful and helped sway me into buying! I’m going to try the USB card one as I figure I can swap it out if I don’t like it and often USB suits my setup better. Thanks again!
Plz do a quick review on the wireless version, it's looking like a better purchase over the logitech g pro x, unless they messed something up horribly.
Been using the V2 since October 2020, and it has served me very well. It’s by far the most comfortable headset/headphones I’ve ever had. I’ve worn them for 6+ hours at a time and my ears didn’t even start to hurt. The only things I could criticize would be the mic (which I don’t even use anymore, I plug them into a Blue Yeti now) and the sound quality. It’s not terrible, but they just don’t sound good when compared to basically any of my previous headphones.
G Pro X still is my favorite headset, especially with the microphone quality and ability to customize it to your specific voice. All my other gear is Razer, but I couldn’t scrap the Pro X, too good!
I loved the g pro x but the ear cuffs feel so small and it gets hot quickly for me, i just bought the fnatic react and feel like it's better mics decent too, I use my logitech USB driver still though since the react lacks one
@@markhung4765 Well, I have since tried the Blackshark V2, and still prefer my G Pro X over them tbh. Only piece of logitech gear I love, but Ghub is not great lol.
@@malcolmwilkins3365 Still working absolutely great! Took some time to configure the spatial audio but now I know how it works. Also still sits amazing on my head!
And that's a very relevant question. I've heard motherboards with anything from abysmal audio quality to some really decent ones. Back when motherboard reviews was a big thing on the tech sites they used to put at least some effort into testing both mic and audio out, but I haven't seen anything like that in the last few years.
i wouldn’t recommend getting any for audio especially with how powerful CPUs can be now a days too much interference , invest in a desk mic / MoTU. M2 interface , they have decent headphone amp on them too for the money and well it’s a DAC too
They made the right move testing it on a budget headphone first as well - a THX certified/integrated headphone for 60 bucks will fly off the shelves, very clever marketing.
Yeah I was playing with my friend the other day and he kept complaining that he could hear himself. Turns out the mic was picking up the voice from the headphones which is kinda stupid. And the only way to stop it is by reducing the audio and when u do that you can’t hear shit.
Current user of the blackshark v2x and I love it. It is much better than my previous razer headset (Man o War wireless) and any other headset I've had before.
Tbh the only "mod" you need for kraken x is to buy a sponge/wind screen thingy for the mic to make it sound better and not too sensitive to crackles from plosives.
@@bizarrediego774 mine still lasting just as good as the day i got it tbh only thing i wish the razer kraken X had was the sponge for the mic instead of having to buy separately on ur own (which improves the mic audio a lot, especially since it minimises wind noise and the plosives
@@tanuncito so far so good, no complaints. the microphone on the v2x model is very good and very clear (based on feedback from colleagues at work as i use this on teams calls)
While the USB sound card is pretty crap for the mic, after messing with the gain and EQ, you can actually get a pretty good sound from it. Better than the direct mic sound without any processing, anyway. They still should've used a better preamp that doesn't make the mic worse by default and that has more headroom, but the point is that it's possible to still get a better sound.
Holy smokes... I bought the V2 version (rather than the V2 X for some reasons). And WOW!!! I'm totally amazed. Razer finally made their homeworks for the sound, the sound is superb. A little lacking for the bass, but since I'm no basshead I don't mind
Just bought a V2 X yesterday and its so damn confortable! I can never go back to that bulky alcatroz headset with horrible earcup support or sound isolation, though it is wireless via bluetooth and quite durable.
@@tanuncito Hmm I haven't been using it all that much these few weeks but its totally fine. Laptop just had to have the headphone jack on the right smh
highs help you hear footsteps more. Bass is only for immersion. Therefore, the v2 is better at competitive than the cheaper variant. There is a reason why the soundblaster g6 soundcard has "scout mode" button that boosts the highs. The gsp 600 from sennheiser has lots of highs and little bass for exactly that.
the blackshark V2 with thre auido card are so good i can hear where his microphone is in his setup. its at the top left of his monitor when your at his POV. buy it
I was shocked when I saw that forbes posted a razer product within the best gaming headsets. So i had to come here and check it out! They sound pretty good!~ (plugged into the motherboard ofc yikes on that first impression.) Honestly i bought a gsp 300 a while ago and was so pissed off at the default quietness of the mic. I've completely ripped it apart since but now that i'm getting back into pc gaming. It's starting to look like either logitech g pro or this baby. Maybe both? Great video though. I like that you go into detail. Sick work bro.
Thanks for the comparison review. My G430 i bought years ago just snapped. These two headsets are on sale on Amazon rn and I didnt know which one to get
I would like to see a review of the Cooler Master MH630 since it has a very good mic in my opinion for 60$ and it also has other variations like 650 and the wireless 670
Till now these two are my choice,but due to covid the pice is all wonky here in india,still waiting for them to come down to 60-70 dollars so i can buy any of them
i just wanted to thank you hardware canucks ive been trying to find a new good headset after my other one broke to my wireles dongle breaking and ive ordered theses and they're coming tommorow thank you so much for this video.
@@User-gx3sr Yeah i had extensive time with both and went with the V2. What has you torn between the two? maybe i can answer any specific questions or concerns you have on both to help you choose.
OnMyGrizzle my main priority is reliability. I’m switching from Xbox to PC and I’ve been using some Turtle beach XO ones for about 4 years now, I’ve treated them poorly and they’ve really been thrown around. Despite all this they still work just fine. Coming from a headset like this I really want a headset that won’t break (note I will treat my next headset with slightly more care). I’ve been looking at the hyper X alphas as well, and almost decided on them until I saw multiple reviews on amazon saying they are REALLY uncomfortable. I play FPS so footsteps ect and soundscape is also something I am taking into consideration.
I have the hyper x cloud pro and a Razer kraken tournament. I like the cloud for sound quality but I wear the Razer more because it’s more comfortable and that is most important to me.
Thank you! Thank you for testing the V2 and V2 X microphone both plugged in the 3.5mm jack! Nobody I found did that. It was what I was looking for. Not a fan of usb dongle on headsets. Prefer them directly plugged in. So this was a point whether to buy the V2 or V2x. I'd like the mic to be detachable but I guess, can buy in the future a headphone without a mic, specifically for audio quality rather than gaming. Impressed. Might go for the V2x save some money. Since won;t be using the dongle and the not detachable mic, might get used to it. Will see. Cheers.
@@tanuncito Yes, I did end up getting the X. I enjoy it much. Happy with it. Just plug it in and good to go. It is a single jack and it comes with an extension that splits sound and mic, which is what I use. The wire length is long too. Happy with the sound as well. It could have been louder. Like the volume control on the left side. It feels nice.

Tell me about it, I have Sennheiser HD660s and yet I was curious to see the review

anyone know how he actually bypasses the soundcard in the video?

@@metallurgico yeah but then you cant hear anything
Detachable mic should not be understated. That means you can also use the V2 like normal headphones on a plane or something with no embarrassment.
An important thing that people should know before buying a headset that almost nobody talks about is the availability of replacement parts, mainly the cushions, given that this headset tend to last around 3 years but the cushions (in my case) only last about a year and then finding a replacement is a pain in the ass
I don't know about two years ago, but in 2023, Razer sells spares. Ear cushions are one item in their shop-
I’ve been using the v2 x for 3 years now and i had no problems with it whatsoever, cushions are good sound quality is impressive for that price. The mic can be a little bit annoying on my Xbox or ps but is perfect when I use it on my pc. Overall i love it.

the blackshark V2 with thre auido card are so good i can hear where his microphone is in his setup. its at the top left of his monitor when your at his POV. buy it
the V2 cushions are exactly like that of the Arctis, heh
Hey should I get this or the sennheissf gsp 300 plz tell me
@@ayeshasaleh7850 go for this
U sure I mean idk
idl the arctis cushions, for me they suck ((
should've gone for cloud alpha
I was shocked when I saw that forbes posted a razer product within the best gaming headsets. So i had to come here and check it out! They sound pretty good!~ (plugged into the motherboard ofc yikes on that first impression.) Honestly i bought a gsp 300 a while ago and was so pissed off at the default quietness of the mic. I've completely ripped it apart since but now that i'm getting back into pc gaming. It's starting to look like either logitech g pro or this baby. Maybe both? Great video though. I like that you go into detail. Sick work bro.
"They have a bathing suit material." My guy Dimitri been clapping some cheeks.
lol
I have a Blackshark V2 X, I'm happy for it.
Non removable cables in 2020 is kinda a deal breaker for me when choosing a headset
Why? Walking around with a full sized gaming headset is not really 2020. If your headset cable breaks than take better care.
@@vakantieman3270 easier cable management, plus easier to replace after wear and tear imo
Henry Cai yea guess so. Pushes the price up a bit for me something else breaks most of the time before the cable breaks.
vakantieman32 what does a removable cable have to do with walking around with a headset
@@vakantieman3270 nou beetje zin in de vakantie? Mrvakantieman
Thanks for the comparison review. My G430 i bought years ago just snapped. These two headsets are on sale on Amazon rn and I didnt know which one to get
did you buy v2 x? can you tell me if it's good for music and movies? people are complaining it's highs are bad..plz help here
I would like to see a review of the Cooler Master MH630 since it has a very good mic in my opinion for 60$ and it also has other variations like 650 and the wireless 670
This video makes me decide to switch to blackshark v2 X from kraken X... and I`m glad I did.. for $10 more it did not disappoint.
Does it Better than Cooler Master MH751 and Fnatic REACT tho ??
Honesty, i doubt it
Till now these two are my choice,but due to covid the pice is all wonky here in india,still waiting for them to come down to 60-70 dollars so i can buy any of them
Z Rus I’d go for the MH751 over the Blackshark V2
really nice review, appreciated it!
Would you consider this to be better than the Razer Kraken V2? I'm looking for a new mic.
YES YES YES YES
@@HardwareCanucks I just ordered one.
Kraken V2 Mic is better, the Kraken X also has the same mic for 50 dollars cheaper
@@reymondcampos5061 In what way?
@@SyedHousein a lot more clear, but I recommend the kraken x because the wire on the v2 is ass and it will break
This makes me miss my old Blackshark v1... That thing was gorgeous.
V2 X vs coolermaster mh751 pls. :)
V2 vs. 752 right, i use 752, just wondering, which one is better
Your videos are literally perfect, Omg
Why does V2X mic sound better than V2 😂
Maybe becuz the V2 was detachable
@@Z_THORITY I rarely use my mic so I wouldn't preferred both of them having detachable mica. For now I have to wedge it above the ear piece lol
@@pavanluhar1903 haha me too bro
@@pavanluhar1903 what headset you use now bro?
@@khairulsyazwannaim I use V2X
Thanks! This was very helpful
Razer have been doing pretty good and took people's opinions this year and made great peripherals overall
i just wanted to thank you hardware canucks ive been trying to find a new good headset after my other one broke to my wireles dongle breaking and ive ordered theses and they're coming tommorow thank you so much for this video.
V2 or x?
why are there no open back "gaming" headsets apart from the audio technica one?
Honestly dont know they should do that
sennheiser game one
Due to the mic pickup and potential feedback issues. Also, for eSports in particular, closed headsets are mandated by most leagues.
i'm just sayin, i've got the ath ad500x and the're so good
i also dont get any mic problems
Got a deal on the V2, can’t wait to hook em up to my pc!
Will this headset replace your g pro x
That would help my conclusion
Thx for the vid
Ever find your answer to this? I'm stuck between these two as well for competitive FPS
Update. i tried both, and going with the Blackshark V2
OnMyGrizzle about to buy a headset and was torn between the G pro and this, would you still recommend the V2??
@@User-gx3sr Yeah i had extensive time with both and went with the V2. What has you torn between the two? maybe i can answer any specific questions or concerns you have on both to help you choose.
OnMyGrizzle my main priority is reliability. I’m switching from Xbox to PC and I’ve been using some Turtle beach XO ones for about 4 years now, I’ve treated them poorly and they’ve really been thrown around. Despite all this they still work just fine. Coming from a headset like this I really want a headset that won’t break (note I will treat my next headset with slightly more care). I’ve been looking at the hyper X alphas as well, and almost decided on them until I saw multiple reviews on amazon saying they are REALLY uncomfortable. I play FPS so footsteps ect and soundscape is also something I am taking into consideration.
Great review, thank you
would you recommend these headsets or the hyperx cloud alpha/alpha s
I have the hyper x cloud pro and a Razer kraken tournament. I like the cloud for sound quality but I wear the Razer more because it’s more comfortable and that is most important to me.
Thế Anh Nguyễn what is better, this or the steel series Arctis 3?
@@turkeysgotmorecloutthanyou this
Thank you!
Thank you for testing the V2 and V2 X microphone both plugged in the 3.5mm jack!
Nobody I found did that. It was what I was looking for. Not a fan of usb dongle on headsets. Prefer them directly plugged in.
So this was a point whether to buy the V2 or V2x.
I'd like the mic to be detachable but I guess, can buy in the future a headphone without a mic, specifically for audio quality rather than gaming.
Impressed. Might go for the V2x save some money. Since won;t be using the dongle and the not detachable mic, might get used to it. Will see.
Cheers.
Did you end up getting the x?
@@tanuncito Yes, I did end up getting the X. I enjoy it much. Happy with it.
Just plug it in and good to go.
It is a single jack and it comes with an extension that splits sound and mic, which is what I use.
The wire length is long too.
Happy with the sound as well. It could have been louder. Like the volume control on the left side. It feels nice.
@@xdraog They still working well to this day?
@@tanuncito Yes they are.
