About me & my channel:
Hey! My name is Yathu Uthayan, and I started this TH-cam channel April 2020, with the hopes of delivering high-quality content. Through this TH-cam journey I wish to learn editing techniques and learn new ways to showcase awesome tech, shoot vlogs, and engage the audience. The response and growth I saw over the first two months of uploading videos absolutely stunned me, and making videos that genuinely helped people made me incredibly happy. I wish to continue growing and gather an incredible, supportive audience that I create regular technology and lifestyle videos for. But one thing I always want to emphasize on my channel is growth: meaning I want to create better, more useful, and more unique videos, grow my audience, and eventually make a career out of this hobby. If you support me and this vision, then please subscribe and we can make this happen!

Short answer dont get the kraken x for a bit more u can get the blackshark v2 x and its rly good
Well said! Exactly what I wud recommend
okk👍 I was a little confused but I always wanted the blackshark, and their mic is awesome!
Is it loud like when you listen to music and stuff good audio ?
@@LowkeyWvy yea
Best meme I have ever seen th-cam.com/video/u7OX79kJ5Gk/w-d-xo.html
Ayo small tip here: Mute the transitions :) Those robot sounds everytime may sound cool for the first time but it also causes that maybe some ppl cant here what youre saying.
Still, nice comparison! Exactly what Ive looked for!
Love the critique and absolutely, I will keep that in mind when editing future videos! Thanks for your support :)
This is a really good comparison I love how you talked about all the features keep up the great work can’t wait to see this channel grow
AHHH thanks so much! Means alot aha :) Ya for sure .. will sure grow with your support bruv
Crap this is underrated!
Keep up the good work man this is some fire and just what I was looking for!
Thanks so much! appreciate the support and kind words
Thanks Yathu!! I am trying to decide between these two exactly. Thanks again for the help.
No prob at all! Hope you've decided what you want!
Love your reviews and your edits are clean 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for your continuous support :)
I dont understand how you only have 700 subs, your edits are great!
I really appreciate that :) Lets hope 2021 is the game changer
@@YathuU It did!
@@amjadmusa3257 aha thank you!
Great video!!! Great edits also, keep up the good content
AW! thanks for popping by victoria! Appreciate it tons!
Nice comparisons and very informative 🔥🔥🔥
SANGEETHA RAJENDRAKUMAR eyy thanks so much! Appreciate it! :)
Nice vid, small tip make the transitions a little quieter. Other than that no complaints, keep grinding!💪
For sure! Check out my Xbox series x and ps5 unboxing ... I realized the transitions and lowered them! But thanks so much for the kind words and appreciate having you here on this channel 👊🏽
very underrated, however sounds affects a littke loud
Thank you for your support!
Good video, straight to the point. Also a comparison of the razer blackshark with the jbl 200. Could be fantastic
krlos cana appreciate your positive feedback! Means a lot :)) hmm maybe in the near future
Awesome edits bro! Plus I’m a grandma with tech so this is pakka helpful 👌🏾👌🏾
ahah no worris sis! thanks for always supporting me :))
My kraken x just broke and I am debating which headset I want. This helped me a lot you are getting a sub :)
Eyy really appreciate your support! Motivating to see positive comments like this :)) Hope you’ve decided now aha
@@YathuU Hi!
Wants to ask something.
A youtuber reviewed v2x and he said 7.1 is bad
is that true? : /
Because i want to buy a good quality headset.
[Never had one lmao]
@@storm8216 ABSOLUTELY! I agree ... it is a matter of preference of form of sound the receiver likes to hear ... but take alot at this ...
As someone else mentioned 5.1 / 7.1 is a sound decoy (effect), since your headsets have only 2 drivers (left + right).
Good news is, your ears are good enough to tell how awful the decoy is. Just use stereo (2 channels) and try to enjoy the best sound your headset can provide.
Hope this helps! :)
really recommend on blackshark
same these kraken xs brake really easily
Super informative video man!! Also AMAZING job on the edits!! 🔥
Eyyy thanks so much dai means a lot fam 👊🏽
@@YathuU i want to open a YT CHANNEL should i go wih razer blackshar v2x??for mic and sound
@@savagepost069 if ur planning to do like gameplay content it wud work or even reactions :) good luck
@@YathuU thnx you are great SUB EARNED
@@savagepost069 thanks so much :)
Nice video and good luck on the grad. exam (idk if you have already done it), thought I have one sugestion, that is either lower the volume of the transition sfx or raise the volume of your voice/recording, for smoother transitions throughout the video.
Thank you for the wishes! And appreciate the advise. I am always open to constructive feedback! I will definitely keep that in mind moving forward!
Proper, I was debating on which to get and I think I've decided finally
Eyyy glad this video helped!
I really like how you made the video! And I suscribed as well ;)
Thank you! Means a lot :) glad u loved the video
@@YathuU I love your beard bro lol
@@fedogu ahahah definitely needs work in that department 😂
You are the only person on the internet that mentioned if the headband is plastic or metal. THANK YOU
Aha glad it was helpful!
hii just a question if you dont mind which headset would you recommend between the hyperx cloud alpha and the razor black shark v2 x ??
Came across your comparison and enjoyed seeing the Stadia Controller in use 👍
Thanks so much for the kind words!
Great content and editss🔥🔥
thanks! means alot :)
The usb version of the blackshark v2 x from what I’ve heated is MUCH better than the normal one and it’s a similar price
I loved this video bro!
if it isnt the famous guy himself! thanks maachi :)
What wired headset would you recommend that's around $60, has a wired connection, doesn't use batteries, has a 3.5mm connector, and is for a child that would play on it with their XBOX to play/chat with friends? I see Razer just came out with the "Kaira X". Though I have no idea what is different about all of their various models. Thanks.
Those headsets looks dope as hell.. I'm liking the comparison of the 2.
EYY appreciate you stopping by! Glad you enjoyed it aha
I had the Krakens for the longest time and they were great! The right ear ended up snapping where it extends, so I guess now is the right time to switch to the blacksharks, I hope they are better quality, but the sounds from the Krakens were actually very good than most console headset products.
I agree with you, the sound quality is amazing! When it comes to the build I feel like a lot of the newer headphones are lesser quality build. But thanks for popping by my channel
@@YathuU well thanks for the upload, this is exactly the video I was looking for!
is it better quality? i had the krakens too but considering to switch now
I have kraken x at the moment and was thinking about switching to the black sharks and this has confirmed it, good vid man
Ahhh thanks so much Connor! Appreciate it and glad it helped
Liked the quick review, but would've been better with a quick mic test as well. I'm looking for a headset and can't decide between the Razer Blackshark V2 X, Cooler Master MH630 & SteelSeries Arctis 1.
From what I know, Cooler Master and the V2 X delivers best vocal clarity and are ALSO the cheapest at around $59 USD. Cooler Master also has the MOST superior noise cancellation from the round up of 2020 headphones. So now it’s a matter of preference. But cooler master and razer black shark V2 x are definitely my top pics! ALSO really appreciate your support. TH-cam is relatively new, and editing and this is a great learning journey. One day I will deliver amazing tech and entertainment content :) please do let me know if you have any other questions! Will gladly help
@@YathuU Thanks for the quick reply! Keep those videos coming...they'll get better over time for sure.
Those 2 were my top pics as well, but the only thing that draws me towards the Cooler Master more is the mic quality and removable mic. But I have also checked other reviews where they say the audio is a little softer and one should go for the slightly more expensive MH650, but that only connects via USB.
@@KabirAdvani I try to respond as fast I can, cuhs I hate waiting to get my hand on tech aha! But hmm yes I would agree, but usually the audio difference isn’t that noticeable unless you listen on the higher end of sound! But the cooler master is a bang for your buck!
Really helped me bro 😊
Glad it did brotha! I’m finishing up my series x unboxing video so do check it out :) and hope you are enjoying the headphones if ya grabbed em 👊🏽
Ive had two Krakens and they both broke on me after like 4 months, the connection between the headband and earcup is pretty thin
That is true! But I recommend you have it on a headphone stand so it doesn’t get beaten down. Unfortunately I agree the support system structurally is pretty weak and that is my only con
@@YathuU Yeah, i mean i do have it on a stand but i mean i have a fat head so that was probably it too haha
Same experience bro hs
you kind of forgotten to review the headset mic quality, but still an awesome review nonetheless, keep it up!
Aha sorry, but I appreciate the support! Great to have you on the channel!
Bro if i connect it to smart phone does the mic works ? Or do i have to buy a usb splitter? Mic and sound?
The black shark if works with the phone whereas the kraken u wud need a splitter and the mic works but on the phone I’ve heard complaints of the audio not being as strong
These transitions are too damn loud and distracting :/ unfortunate, because it seems like a good review but I can't sit through this
Appreciate your comment, I’m new to editing and slowly learning what works and not aha, but I’ve taken that into consideration to mute the sounds on the transitions or lower it for future videos. Thanks you :)
Hyssto
Amazing,I just got V2X LOL.SUBSCRIBED.
Eyyyy hope you enjoy them!
Thanks for this! Exactly what I was looking for and very informative!
Ahh thank you and hope you figured out what you needed!
Love the video
Thank you for the support ❤️🙏🏽
Great vid!
Thanks famm! :)
which one is better for just headphones? i have a mic so im looking for good headphones for a cheap price.
Definitely the blackshark! You will love it
@@YathuU ok thanks! also does the mic stay up right next to the earcup or does it move back down to where my mouth is?
@@ViperXD the mic is adjustable, so you can have it anywhere
Sick Video bro!
Vigaash Sivasothy ahhh appreciate you my guy 😂
Good video good content, but you need to back it way off on the sound effects when you’re changing screenshots. I had to replay the videos for five times because I was not able to hear the information because of the sound of the sound effect. Other than that very well edit it very good video keep up the good work!
Thank you for the amazing review and honest criticism! Always looking to hear to learn and grow! Much love
Nice Video Bro!! Regards from argentina ❤️
Ahhhh appreciate the love ❤️
I have both of them and after 1 year i can say that blackshark are a littlebit better
I agree with you for sure!
Razer Kraken X or Blackshark V2 X? I dont no which it better.... Sorry my english is Bad.
Does razer black shark v2x come with a 7.1 surround sound right??
Yes it does!
Thks
Seems like I need to be getting some Razor products myself 💯💯
Ya bruv! Some of their products are actually gems bruv
Super informative vid bro. I've always loved razer products, the well built designs and quality usually lasts for quite a while. Good investment for gamers especially. Keep it up with the amazing content bro🔥
Vishal Baskar apppreciate you brotha like always! Yes I’ll agree with u bro 👊🏽
My most expensive gaming investment so far😅
Was surprised to see u only have 700 subs, this easily couldve passed as a video from someone with 1 million
Ahhh thanks so much bro! Hope to be there one day. Just need ppl to spread the word and sub but really appreciate the kind words
i not understand kraken is better or blackshark better
great video!
Ahh thanks so much my guy! Appreciate it
kraken x have good bass?
Blackshark hasn’t RGB light,and Kraken has ,right?
Yes exactly!
Underrated channel
Ahhh thank you so much! Love the kind words
I know u compared the X versions, but is the blackshark v2x alsobetter than the normal razer kraken?
Yes it is! The black shark I believe has far superior audio quality when compared to the kraken
@@YathuU okay, thank you😊
@@derEchteFaker_offiziell hey no worries! Hope I was able to help
Great video and comparison . What would recommend as a daily use tho like if your not a heavy gamer
hmmm the price difference is $10 cheaper for the kraken x BUT the Blackshark V2x is cross platform. You can use on your PC, ps4, ps5, xbox, switch wherever! So I wud go with the blackshark!
I have the kraken x non USB version and I can use it on anything work great on xbox ps4 pc and switch
Great Comparsion.
I am presently using hyperx cloud pro.
Are blackshark really worth?
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Yes I would say they have been amazing so far! Definitely worth it!
@@YathuU thankyou bro
Had the kraken x. And the point where the learher begins on the head band thing. It just broke in 2 parts
Proper video!!
Thanks brotha 👊🏽 appreciate it
Nice video, good comparison, i Will buy the blackshark V2 X . I have a question, its confortable while using glasses? Greetings from Argentina
Pd: sorry , my english Is so bad
Eyyy no ur English is amazing ALSO yes I wear glasses as well and since the Frame isn’t thick you don’t feel the pressure of the glasses against your face! Definitely a good choice!
Great video!
Thank you! Love the support
@@YathuU this channel is so underrated, you deserve 10000x more subs man!
@@MrRuinFTW thanks bro that means a lot
@@YathuU your welcome bro. Just subbed ✅
are the microphones same on both headsets?
V2x has a better one
Thanks for your advice buddy, I found the BlackShark on $50 usd on México. Br
Which one do you prefer I can’t choose between the two
I personally love the black shark v2 cuus of me the audio quality is more of a priority! Hope it helps :))
Thank you man, I appreciate it
Eden Meester no worries! Lmk what you end up getting bruv!
Yathu I got the blackshark V2 x! Very happy with it, the higher sounds are a little to hard but i can adjust it a little bit. But overall good headset, thanks for the advice :)
Eden Meester hey no worries! Make sure to activate the 7.1 channel and ALSO lmk if u got ur hands on the PS5 (dropped a video on it) or going to grab the series x
You deserve lot more brother😁😁😁
Thanks so much brother! Means a lot
@@YathuU you put so much effort in one video. You will get to your goal very fast❤️❤️❤️. My support will always be there❤️❤️❤️
@@lolvadlee3384 really do appreciate it 🙏🏻❤️
Awesome video
best realtor in the game popped by! Means alot bruv
can u suggest me 1 between razaer blackshark v2x vs razer kraken x vs hyperX stringer
I personally would suggest the Razer Blackshark v2x
simply the best in the game when it comes to audio quality
Nice setup man
Appreciate you man! My Xbox just came in... currently editing the unboxing aha
@@YathuU nice can’t wait to watch it
@@elsapo5590 appreciate the support 🔥🙏🏻
the headband on my kraken x cracked
Really good quality video
Thank you! Appreciate the support
How much can you hide the mic on the BlackShark X ... can you see it at all when you try to hide it ... and are they Over ear or .. On ear headphones ??
They are over ear headphones, and very light so you can wear for hours and the mics u can curve it back but would assume if you kept bending it back it can lead to breakage
@@YathuU oh right thank you - would you say it is worth paying the difference for a detachable mic? I use it mostly without the need for a mic
@@JCRS2 hmm I would say I do find it annoying sometimes, so depending on ur liking, would recommend u going for the detachable one!
@@YathuU alrighty !!
@@YathuU another specific question (sorry) but is it possible to move the mic vertically up and backwards to be held /resting along the cup. Is that a possible resting place which doesn’t feel like it’s going to snap?
I'm thinking between blackshark v2X and kraken 2019 no rgb.Which one is better?
Im going to be biased! I love the audio on the Blackshark v2x
@@YathuU Thanks for replying bro,but one question..Which one's more comfortable?As I'm going wear for a few hours while gaming
@@Rafi-0071eyy brotha that’s lighter issues! I make content for yal! And imma still say black shark it feels lighter
@@YathuU Ok then,I'm going for the v2X
@@Rafi-0071 happy you are! Lmk once u get it
Nice one mate. Helped me make my choice. I'm going to purchase the kraken X usb now, should be here by tonight.
Liked and subbed for sure.
Also I agree with the other matey; lowering the volume or muting the transition would be a good idea imo.
Thanks brotha! Absolutely appreciate the support and for sure, will make sure for the upcoming videos to mute transition sounds. ALSO super excited for u! Hope it elevates ur gaming experience 🔥
helped me too , nice vid
Rip no mice test ?
What about Just the Razer Kraken Vs Blackshark V2 X?
Hey can u clarify what you meant by just the razer?
@@YathuU ha sorry I mean just the Razer Kraken
alij0n3s that’s fine aha And price Potok wise the black sharks V2 X for the solid sound quality would knock any other razer head sets out of the park (in my opinion)
I'm sorry buddy, but you're doing a review on headphones (i.e. sound) and the video sound quality is
so poor??
No worries Renzo! I understand but that was just me learning how to do videos on TH-cam initially and I am always trying to better the audio! But glad you were able to pop by and wishing you an amazing holiday ahead! I
I CANT BELIEVE I WAS STUCK BETWEEN THESE TWO I HAVE TO WATCH ALL OF THR VIDEO
Hope it helps! :) lmk what choice u make Nate
Yathu the krakens price is hard to beat esp with the cooling gel it has its only needs a mic windscreen but at the same time the black shark has one so it all comes down to when I have cash
NateStillPlays absolutely! Cooling gel is an amazing feature and honestly the kraken is still an amazing headphone. Also the logo that lights up is a nice added touch
Yathu Yh thanks for ur help bro :)
I was told don't buy Logitech G331 and a bit and buy Razer Kraken X😐
Bro you’re underrated asf
Appreciate the kind words fam :)
@@YathuU wtf and you respond to a year old video in an hour 😳😳😳 bro u gotta blow up
@@aulazon9309 aw man thanks and I’m always trying to respond to anyone as soon as I can :) I hope one day 🙏🏽🚀
@@YathuU keep up your great work, you’ve earnt a sub, take care
just watched this video at first I thought "aw man not a video indian guy speak in hindi with english titles" really hates when that happen, I don't care if your english is not fluent but at least undestandable, but this one is good content 10/10, indian guy, english title, and speak english (Proper international youtube content) keep up the good work bro
Ahhh thanks so much brother
where is the mic test?????????????????
One of my first few videos, and new to this tech game,, and youtube and it completely slipped off my mind, but I’m always willing to learn and make better content. Sorry about missing that in this video
Is the Kraken or the V2X more comfort?
In my opinion the V2x is more lighter and comfortable
@@YathuU thank you
@@xxfrozzenpvpxx2267 no worries hope it helped
What’s the price comparison like on these headsets?
The Black Shark is $10 more expensive than the kraken x (so 89 CAD vs 79 CAD)
How do the mics compare?
The Blackshark V2X has the better mic quality compared to the Kraken. Also just to note, the V2X is less harsh on s sounds. Hope this helped :) Thanks for stopping by!
@@YathuU Even 2 years later he's still replying to comments, now that's dedication. I really appreciate the reply, I just bought the V2X and this comment definitely helped influence my decision seeing as I was searching for the better mic. Thanks man, I doubt I'll have any regrets.
@@speedo._ awesome bro! Hope you love it and always here to help out when I can :) thanks for the kind words!
sounds of showing headsets is earrape ! thanks
Hey man, Can you recommend me a gaming headset under 70 with bass?
Under 70? Well then I’d say kraken
Too many irritating and distracting transitions. Btw the review was good. Happy new year 2021
Aha thanks for the feedback and I kept that in mind in my future video! It’s always about trying to keep a positive head in the game and trynna improve. 7 months on TH-cam with no prior editing experience is a learning journey and I take every tip and consider each comment for my next videos! Loved having u bruv and good-luck in 2021
What mic is better blackshark pe kraken
I’d have to side with blackshark!
@@YathuU thanks!
What about the mic?
The mike is absolutely amazing, it’s far superior to the kraken X! Hope it helps :)
@@YathuU Thanks man
Should i get the razer kraken or blackshark v2x. Pleez help?
Go for the v2x. That’s the better choice in my opinion
Thnx. Maybe you could assist me between the v2x and hyperx xloud 2
It will help me decide my final headset. My range is 80 dollars maximum. Leave any recommendation better than these
If possible i mean
@@MuhammadAhmed-uf1jh hmmm hard pick but I will still go for the razer V2x in that sense
Nice video! Good job my friend! I'm from Russia
Thank you so much for your support from Russia!
@@YathuU You're welcome!
How about Kraken 2019 and V2 x bro? Nice video btw!
Hey appreciate the positive feedback bro and also I wud have to stick with V2x, the audio on it is way better but the features such as RGB & cooled cushions is inviting on the kraken
not even a mic audio test?!?!
why is my razer blackshark v2 x so quiet, and makes static noises when i speak..
Have u tried changing knob to the max twice? That worked for some
@@YathuU What knob

There is almost 0 reason to go with the kraken x that headset is obsolete now with the blacksharks
Exactly! But some like the build quality of kraken but the audio on black shark just destroyed the Kraken
Price?
