    • @Freedomsreviews
      @Freedomsreviews  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Great question. I really love listening to music on my V2X, and I could 100% just use them for music. In a under $100 category I'd give a 7 to the V2X and a 8 to the V2 as you get the sound card, and can adjust EQ. However if you're looking for strictly music I'd take a look at the Audio-Technica ATH-M40X, or the DT990 pro if you can spare $150 that's what I use for my vinyl listening.

    Really nice review! Both headset have their pros and cons. As for the sound, I way better prefer the V2 (Haven't tried the V2 X but still might buy it even if I have the V2) over the Kraken. The Kraken always have been overpowering the bass while overshadowing the rest of the spectrum. I really like the THX Spatial Audio from the V2 USB sound card, but I also like the color scheme a tad better on the V2X (hence why I might own both).

    • @Freedomsreviews
      @Freedomsreviews  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@Freedomsreviews I just ordered the V2X for the green wire (I will receive them tomorrow, thanks Amazon). Might be my main headset just because I thought I would prefer the breathable mesh material rather than leather (I have a tendancy to leave a bit of sweat from my head (I'm bald on the top so... if I sweat, I know where it's going)). But in the end, I expect to prefer the leather.
      I might give a shot to the V2X with the sound card from the V2 and also on my Yamaha AG03 mixer. I wouldn't be surprised if I end up needing to return the V2 to Amazon because I prefer the V2X overall lol, even if I truly like the THX Spatial Audio with the V2 :/

    • @Freedomsreviews
      @Freedomsreviews  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah my set came the next day from Amazon it's pretty awesome. I've also been using the THX on the Nari and Kraken TE sets I I have, I like it but it's not a deal breaker for me. That and I just got the Elgato wave microphone that I plug into the mic via 3.5mm for direct monitoring so I can't use the USB sound card. All in all for 60 dollars the V2X is going to be hard to beat in my opinion.

    • @TheSilverFX
      @TheSilverFX 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah at that price they are fairly inexpensive and sound really great. I'm well equipped not to use the THX Spatial Audio as well but I really liked how I could pinpoint my enemies a lot better than what I used to. And music also sounds great with that headset that I don't feel the need to use my VModa Crossfades to listen to music

    • @Freedomsreviews
      @Freedomsreviews  3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      So I've been playing a lot of story mode games recently with my Blacksharks and I find the overall experience better than the Krakens. The bass won't rattle your head like a subwoofer, but it's very well done. In this case I'd actually go with the regular Blackshark V2's as it comes with a USB dongle for a THX EQ. That way you can dial the sound in just right. But if we are talking strictly out of the box, I'd go Blacksharks.

      That's going to depend more on how you connect the headphones. The TE comes with the USB THX sound card and gives you the ability to change EQ settings. Also if you intend to use the built in mic id go TE. However if you intend to connect 3.5mm and don't need to use the built in mic, I'd go V2X. The sound quality and isolation just dominates the TE out of the box.

Some reviews say audio on Kraken captures ambient noise, while BSX does not. Worried about that. Also drivers on Krakens are 40mm, no?

    Out of interest, have you tried multi-driver headsets in the past? Examples, the Razer Tiamat 7.1 V2, Asus ROG Centurion or Speedlink Medusa NX 5.1 (amazing headset, amazing price, hasn't been made for years unfortunately). I used the Speedlink for years until it finally broke after ~10 years use. Sound was SUPERB in FPS games and notably Squad. I have tried several headsets since, including an expensive SteelSeries Acrtis Pro, which was no replacement for the Speedlink so it went on eBay! Now using the Razer Tiamat 7.1 V2 which in FPS is as good as it gets IMO, incredible detail and extremely easy to pinpoint enemy and enemy fire, vehicle and environmental sounds are great. I'd be keen to see a comparison of the Blackshark v2 vs the Tiamat 7.1 V2. Shame Razer didn't push the Tiamat harder and provide those who struggled to get the best out of them, more support and advice as on the right rig, unbeatable in the current market IMO. Good presentation and video btw, you deserve many more thousands of subscribers!

      @Freedomsreviews  3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      That's a tough question. In terms of build quality, and microphone audio the React is better. But the clamping force is a little too tight, and the drivers are tuned for more mid and high range with a flat bass signature. Great for gaming, but just okay for music. The Blackshark V2 has the sound card to tune the EQ via USB input, and even the V2X I feel is better for both gaming and music. Sound isolation is about the same for both headsets. I'd say if you're 95% going to be gaming and using the built in mic I'd go React, but if you're 50/50 gaming/music I'd go V2
