Razer - BlackShark V2 HyperSpeed

I have the V2 Hyperspeed for a few months now. I have the same issue with regards to the custom EQ being too quiet for a while already. Mine does that when I set my EQ and close Synapse in between restarting the headset manually or through its powersaving feature, or restarting the pc. I have set my Synapse to not start with Windows. You're right about the EQ being a few db lower. I found mine to be -2db. I set my same EQ settings but all at another +2db each, turned off my headset, quit Synapse, then turned my headset back on. It sounds almost if not similar to the same EQ settings before adding 2db each. I've already deleted Synapse for a few days already and my headset still kept the settings I set.

If you can stretch your budget, my recommendation would be the **Astro A50 X.** I'm recommending it based on two factors: comfort and mic. It's generally rated as comfortable by reviewers and it's not very heavy compared to other good headphones. It also has one of the best mics, even considering wired options. A great budget option would be the **Razer BlackShark V2 Hyperspeed**. It also has a top of the line mic for a fraction of the price. Just don't expect the same sound quality from the headphones. That's not to say it's bad though. It still has a well-tuned frequency response. You could buy the **BlackShark V2 Pro** if you want to detach the mic for outdoor use, but I can't really recommend it due to the inferior wireless performance to the newer Hyperspeed and the massive price difference just for that detaching the mic. Lastly, you could also check the **Razer Barracuda X Chroma** if you like its design better. But for a similar price to the Hyperspeed, I don't think it does audio quality better, especially in the mic aspect.

I used Razer Blackshark V2 wired and it was awesome with amazing mic, very comfortable pads, and no pressure to the head. There is also a wireless version called Blackshark V2 Hyperspeed!

I just bought a Razer black shark v2 hyper speed for 75 dollars and it’s amazing

I have had the gen 1 since launch. Still fine. Even the micro usb hasn’t broken yet somehow. Just bad luck. I think they’re built fairly well, just a lot of plastic.

I loved my blacksharks before I upgraded to maxwells

Razer Blackshark V2. I've had them for 5 years and not a single issue.

I’ve got the V2 version of this and whilst more pricey has been a fantastic headset if you can afford the increased price

Black shark v2 from razor is on sale for about $40 right now. It's a pretty good headset for that price

To this day, the closest to studio grade mic, on a headset, that I heard was on the Corsair Virtuoso RGB XT. That one was pretty crazy. Unfortunately the rest of that headset sucked. The Antlion mod mic wireless is really good, also, along with the Blackshark V2. But yeah, you can do better with one of those $60 Sno ball mics.
