Ik he deserves at least two mil especially compared to other creators. I found him a while back looking for a budget headset and his reviews were so much better in so many ways than creators with 3 mil more than him.
He is and his tests and understanding are bang on the money iv studied and tried endles headphones dome my research and do stereo and dolby and g6 7.1 and every single thing he says is 100% I'm currently using h6pro opens hd599s open and hs65 closed whitch for directinary sounds and imagine are amazing
I hope you grow man legit the information and the clarity and organization you have on this video is amazing. Keep up the good work this video is well done 👍🏻
Yo! Sound designer here. Love the video, super helpful. If you plan on doing other videos like this, I’d recommend your mic check add plosives to the test (hard Ps Ss Ts and Ks). Those sounds tend to pierce through lower quality mics and are my line to determine good vs bad mics. I’d also recommend gain matching your mics before testing (just passing the yellow bar at loudest) for consistency and to avoid clipping. I hope to see more of your videos soon! Definitely using this to determine my next gaming headset. Thank you
I think the point of the Barracuda non-Xs is the user definitely has a separate microphone at this price point. If you are on a budget then the mic on the Barracuda X is a must-have, but in a $159 range, you must have a pretty slick setup (a separate microphone) if you can afford this kind of headphones.
Ya. I just bought a Barracuda non-x for myself and my brother for Christmas. I have an actual quality mic I used on a podcast a few years ago and my bro got a decent one from a friend recently. If he wants better mic quality he can just switch to the dedicated mic.
@@joepiazza3756I mean apart from the mic I believe the X’s also have more battery autonomy. Even tho the non X are a bit more comfy on the top part, and prob a bit more durable, but they are also heavier The sound quality is also a bit better but I mean for a difference of, right now, almost the double I don’t think it’s worth to buy the non X over the X
Thanks, dude, I'm about to buy the Kraken V3 Hypersense mainly for work. I have kids screaming around me, and I believe their mic could decrease the background noise but still keep my voice ok without considerable distortion.
This is a good review. I've suddenly found myself needing to buy a second headphones for gaming. Went online to look (traveling abroad, so not using Amazon) and found so many choices on the Razer's. Needed help determining what Razer I have back home and what I can get now.
This was so helpful, great and entertaining. It helped me make a decision about which headset was right for me. I'm subscribing! Keep up the good work.
Thank you for this. I was thinking about upgrading my barracuda x after 2 years but this is the best headset for me. After 2 years battery is still good, surround sound for fps is great, mic is great, just overall awesome. It’s cheap too!
The one problem I have with my Blackshark is the rails that allow the ear cups to slide for adjustment become very loose over time, this makes the cups slide to the maximum length possible causing an uncomfortable fit.
I know this video is closer to a year old than it is current... but, I struggle to understand why Razer isn't tapping into two popular markets right now. They're not making a high end wired headset with open back to compete with offerings from Sennheiser, Beyerdynamic, AudioTechnica or Corsair's Virtuoso Pro. This seems to the direction that a lot of people are going these days. I'm also surprised that Razer hasn't released a direct competitor to the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless.
i really enjoyed this video this made me make a decsion on which headset to get Barracuda X. and i agreed with you for the top 3 actually. but decided on the X since you said it's most comfortable and lightweight. That's what I look for hte most with headsets because i go 4-6 hours of gaming often and need to be comfortable. and is a good all-around with sound quality. i'm not a huge fan of bass so that's perfect for me. And o often use headphones while listening to music on my pc while gaming and it comes in pink which i love. and Detachable mic which i also like LOL. So that's the one I'm going for. 40-60 hours of life sounds good to me. don't need haptics. The mic sounds great to me so overall I'm going for that. Thanks for doing this video helped me a lot.
Excellent video! Just want to a that if you are interested in purchasing the Razer Blackshark V2 Pro there might be a version that does not have USB-C and Bluetooth.
The only headset I’ve ever liked, has been the Razer Kraken 7.1 V2, because you can actually turn the surround sound off. No hearing footsteps in one part of my ear, makes me sick. I’ve bought so many over the years on eBay, and I’m scared eventually they’ll all be gone lol. Do any of the new ones allow you to this ? I feel like I’m owing my mind lol
A very important thing that you didn't mention with the Baracuda X is that they aren't supported by Synapse and 2023 Model isn't supported by razer audio either So if you by them because you want to control everytging via one software, to bad. Also the 2023 apparently have a lot of technical issues
To be honest razer going to be first company to have ANC and a beast mic by merging the barracuda pro and blackshark 2023. I will wait patiently till then.
hey great review i love all your reviews and this one was amazing but i was thinking of getting the razer kraken kitty v2 pro and didn't see it in the line up to which of the ones you did review does it compare?
I got the razer power up bundle a few years ago when I first started to get into computers it comes with a sort of in-between spec of the of the kraken v3x and the kraken v3 it has the full leather cups but the same drivers as the v3x it also has no rgb honestly not a bad deal when you consider I got it for about $80 and it also had a keyboard and a decent mouse the only thing I haven't upgraded over the years is the headset hence why I'm watching this video
Also I just wanna let everyone know, the only razer products I ever bought was the 2 limited time pewdiepie headsets they had. The pewdiepie kraken and the pewdiepie Nari ultimate. Thankfully the kraken v3 set of his still holds up to this day. The microphone is crap for some reason but it is sturdy and I still love it. As for the nari ultimate, I am heartbroken. I loved everything about that headset. But the fault in lies with razer as a company. They for 1 had gotten rid of the promotional headsets after only a year or 2 of my buying them. I know this because the USB connector on them broke. Now you would think they could just send me a replacement USB connector. And you'd be fucking wrong. The only thing they could offer me was a replacement of their NORMAL, non promotional, Nari ultimate headset. I hate how it looks now, and I'm extremely salty about the whole damn situation. Not only that but when I got the new headset I was having connection issues with the USB connector on that headset aswell. I'm very disappointed in razer as a company as a whole. HOWEVER, THE ONLY THING I CAN PRAISE THEM FOR IS THE METAL BUILD ON THE KRAKEN SETS. The metal frame really held up the durability end of the headsets. Now the material on the top is shot and the pewdiepie design is peeling off it. However they are still special to me and they are always my go to when I need a good headset. The leather ear cuffs suck btw. The leather cuffs don't hold up and the leather speckles off on ur face and hair over time.
I was waiting 35 minutes to him to say "Krakens sound tinny" like the ear cups were housed in tin cans with a wider sense of space. Barracudas sound like what you expect for a good headphone. Blacksharks add warmth and are just a better version of the Barracudas. Kairas sound like Krakens- the room is smaller and the cups sound less tinny. I used to laugh at all the youtubers that had 6 or 7 headsets... then I bought way too many headsets. When people come over and I don't like them, they get my Krakens then Kairas. They are good for first person shooters because they help orient you people running around you. But listening to music or watching a movie... No that is not what they are used for. One Barracuda is dedicated to my work from home station because it looks professional enough. The other barracuda is what I bring around town when I listen to music and use my phone (2 cudas, different ear pads). I don't share my Blacksharks- it's my daily driver. I gave one to my mom because she deserves it. When it comes to haptics, the cheaper corsair HS60 was cheaper, comparable comfort but a lot more fragile. I loved it till it dropped 3 feet and shattered when it hit the laminate floor lol. When he mentioned the Arctis 9x I'm glad that he included them in this video. I definitely like my 9x, but the BS v2 pro is still my daily driver
My headband on a set of razer kraken headsets snapped in 2 when I accidentally sat on them. I ended up getting sennheiser gsp 500s and the sound quality was leagues better than the razer for about the same price I paid, especially for music. For gaming I'm more into sim racing than shooters and the engine noise was on a whole new level on the sennheisers. That said, I can't really vouch for their first person shooter performance because it's really not my thing.With them going for under $70 atm, it's hard to justify getting something else budget right now when they're superior in every way to the kraken other than you kind of look like a knob wearing them. 😝
Hi! Im about the purchase this one but I got concern after watched review videos as there are several technical problem like turn off suddenly or RGB not working. Is this issue still persist? or Razer updated somehow? I would appriciate any comments, thanks!
@@semihyolcu6572 I didn’t have any problems with mine but I took them back today and exchanged them for the Steel Series Arctis Nova Pro Wireless headset. I can use it wirelessly on the Xbox Series X and my PC!
I've been thinkng of upgrade my barracuda x. Which should I get barracuda or v2 pro wireless 2023. Also which has better audio in both for game and music
I Had in the past the regular blackshark v2 for console and i still have the soundcard. Should i buy again the blackshark v2 kr the barracuda x and use them with the soundcard on my console?
i need a really good mic doesnt really care about sound that much but a good mic from a gaming headset, can anyone recommand me them? thank you very much.
am sorry, there is no way you can tell me the blackshark v2 Pro sounds better then the others, its so bad. i tried it just now after i was so mad, compare to razer kraken tournament edition wich sounds better, DEFINTLY has better mic, am trying to find something better but that seems impossible.
Honestly, this guy's is too underrated and I have been enjoying him since the kb reviews. Give him some love and support him.
Thank you!!!
Fr sometimes I’m like I wish I found a good budget headset vidoe and then boom

This hour long roundup is PRETTY DANG GOOD.
Thank you!!! It was a massive undertaking!
I hope you grow man legit the information and the clarity and organization you have on this video is amazing. Keep up the good work this video is well done 👍🏻
For those who don't know each LED on the headset adds +1 fps in games.

Kraken OG having the best Mic on the krakens is nutz
The best video I've seen expaling this kind of stuff, awesome information and explanation!
This was so helpful, great and entertaining. It helped me make a decision about which headset was right for me. I'm subscribing! Keep up the good work.
The blacksharks are so good, but the deal breaker is those helicopter style mounts. Don't know what i should do
WOW dude. This is a lot of work. Good job on detailing this video!
This really helped me to decide. Thnx for the video.
What did you pick?
This was epic. Honestly didn’t know about the hypersense. Really want to give that a shot.
Fantastic video! Personally, I own the Blackshark v2 pro and the Kaira pro (for Xbox) and your reviews on them were spot on!
Hey man, been wanting to get the v2 pros for my Xbox but he didn’t explicitly mention that they’re compatible, would the dongle work for them ?
The v2 pro is terrible compared to v2 pro 2023
@@beejus6756Xbox isn’t compatible
Just found your channel the other day. You make good stuff man. Keep it up!
what a ton of info you went through. Thanks for walking all that info for us. Very helpful.
you cant really say "EVERY" Razer headset. i am using a razer headset you missed. the Razer nari ultimate
Razer Kraken Tournament in my opinion has one of the best sound quality and mic, for gaming headsets!
Thanks for the review. I need to get another wireless headset and in a good price range with a good mic. I think im try the barracuda x
Thank you for this. I was thinking about upgrading my barracuda x after 2 years but this is the best headset for me. After 2 years battery is still good, surround sound for fps is great, mic is great, just overall awesome. It’s cheap too!
I just got my razer baracuda X for whats basically 70 Dollars (140 Lev)
very helpful coming from a streamer who is just starting out
Hope it goes well!
So that's why the Kitty was included.
budget .blackshark v2x
value .barracuda x
console value .caira hyperspeed
audio quality (dc) .kraken v3 hypersens
Think I'm missing something. Nothing about the Kraken Ultimate? or the Nari Ultimate?
the Kraken X is a solid starter headset and the fact its super light weight u can wear it for legit 10 plus hours ( covid certified)
Thanks a lot, it helped me on choosing the best one for me

Amazing review ! Definitely helped me a lot !!

In other words, there is a 2020 edition and there is a 2023 edition.
Oh weird, why is the Nari not in here?
That's exactly what I came to this video for....
@bastionwolf same bro i wanted to see how good the nari is
How the OG Mic sounds better, than X and Kitty V2. Have to stop my ear bleeding of hearing them.
This video is amazing!
Thank you for the effort
I play fps and hypersense is amazing specially battlefield , respect
Blackshark v1 were the best =( Still use them. Perfect sound and design
The BlackSharks are so great but I couldn't fix the constant audio drop out on wireless between 3 different devices.
