"amazing, amazing, amazing ANC performance for earbuds! ... not even close in ANC performance vs these (Bose QuietComfort Earbuds (2024)) ... I, for ANC, prefer the approach Bose takes, blocking out pretty much all frequencies."
"Was ideal because I was in a cabin with 3 screaming babies and ANC + audiobook worked like a CHARM."
"The fit, comfort, sound, and ANC are the best I've experienced. ... all the rest have markedly inferior ANC."

"I have the ear shape where in-ear headphones always make a loud bumping sound when I'm moving, so AirPods 4 give the benefits of noise cancelling and great sound without the in-ear effect. ... AirPods 3 always fell out my left ear but they dialed in the size perfect for the 4's, they sit perfect and I've never had it fall out or shake loose doing sprints and a full marathon."
"Took them on a 2hr walk with my dog today and had no issues. First IEMs I can actually wear laying on my side in bed."
"after 80+ miles on our last trip, I was the only one without foot problems of any kind."

"For gaming the Tea Pros so far are a 10/10, I play mostly Hunt: Showdown and the additional separation, staging, and tighter but punchy bass were all noticeably better for my ears."
"Absolutely insane imaging. I can point exactly where each sound comes from: left, right, front, or even a bit behind."
"The soundstage feels genuinely wide — about 4 to 5 meters in perception, which is something rare even among much higher-end gear."

"I am a power lineman, so I needed a rugged watch that could get banged around, be exposed to energized high voltage, and very harsh conditions. The TREX has worked flawlessly through all that."
"Altimeter and barometer and compass (ABC). More butch design and more shock, cold, heat dust and dirt resistant. Feature set more for stuff INCLUDING running. More suited backpacking and hiking which I've used it for a fair bit. Great tool watch"
"it’s super durable. ... The watch clasp has gotten scratched up but the face is still fine after nearly a year of climbing inside with it. ... instinct is very durable"

"have easily the best mic of any gaming headset (I recorded a sung vocal track into Pro Tools with it yesterday)"
"And the AI they advertise actually works. ... With my gen 2s people could hear my dogs bark in the other room and now they can’t."
"i prefer logitech because of blue voice"

"I kept feeling them on and thinking they would fall off my ears at any moment, it would distract me from my run."
"I find I can't wear them for more than an hour without my ears hurting."
"Only downside is the faux leather ear foams are absolute garbage out the box. ... Had to get a cooling gel ones on Amazon for like $15"

"I think my pulses were bunk from the beginning, maybe defective, and so quiet."
"my 3D pulses sound like 7/11 ear buds compared to the elites."
"sound quality was also disappointing for what I paid for them originally"

"The headset would randomly restart, disconnect from the base and cause a loud distrotion sound to come across until I BOTH powered down the headset AND disconnected the USB cable from the back of the hub. Pair that with the headset just randomly disconnecting at times (typically when critical to HAVE it) and you have a recipe for disaster."
"Quality of the headset is trash, I’ve had two of those snap over the past year from simply just putting them on my head and taking them off. ... Agreed, have had two break on me in the past year, really terrible quality."
"My OG Arctis Pros are basically perma dead because the cable port ate shit."

"The Razer Synapse software is a bit challenging"
I've had mine for about 3 months now, I bought a new strap because the stock one was giving me a headache. I still have issue with them feeling like they are clamping too hard on my head and glasses tho. I have one of the really flexible meshy plastic comfort straps and have one side set to the middle, one side set to the top any looser and it feels like its gonna fall off my head, any tighter and it feels like a vice clamp. That's literally my only complaint. The sound is phenomenal. No issue with speakers, hardware/software or anything buggy on that. If they didn't weigh so much they'd be perfect. But I put on my old Razr Blackshark V2 pros, adjusted the equalizer and in comparison it sounds like actual crap. If I could get this comfort thing under control they'd be absolutely perfect. Sometimes I wish I could exchange them for something lighter but then I want the same kind of sound too. So I guess I'll put up with it until I find a solution.
r/Audeze • Audeze Maxwells ->Idk what yall do to headsets. I used my 2023 version until the 2025 came out. No issues at all. Now use the 2023 for work…
r/razer • Stay away from Blackshark Razer wireless headsets ->I’ve had the blackshark v2 pro for like 3 years now (it replaced my wireless arctic pro 7, which had a worse mic imo) and love it. Like a lot of ppl here I use a separate mic for my voice BUT the mic is surprisingly good for a wireless headset. I had no idea it was that good either until a friend asked me about the quality and it dawned on me I never used it. He said (let me preface this by saying most of our friends use high quality desktop arm mics) it sounds like a cheaper desktop mic (not a bad thing at all!), but better than what we would normally expect from a headset mic. Comfort wise it also has great breathable cushions, I hated the ski goggle strap that my arctis came with. I generally get fatigued wearing any headset, between it squeezing my fatass head and the weight, can get uncomfortable, so I’m in the process of getting gaming earbuds (arctic gamebuds)
r/buildapc • The Best Gaming Headset to Buy Now? ->Bit of a necro but just wanted to throw in my experience from this evening. Had a pair of Razer BlackShark V2 Pro's for about 9 months, I can't fault the audio or microphone in anyway (I am not a huge audiophile mind you). What I will say is that the plastic bracket that connects the actual earphones to the headband exploded on me this evening as I took them off. They are well looked after, always on a stand - never laid flat, never wrenched off my head. Bit surprised by it - but I do have quite a large head, so maybe that was a contributing factor. This could be a one off but just letting people know in case they are looking for something long term.
r/buildapc • The Best Gaming Headset to Buy Now? ->I've had mine for 2 years and never had any issues with it breaking.
r/razer • Stay away from Blackshark Razer wireless headsets ->@op I have the ath-m50x bt2, best headphones I've ever owned. I had the razer blackshark v2 pro before this, but the charging port went out, or had some other electrical issues like a month after I got them... Quite sad as I loved how they looked and sounded. They're my blender hearing protection now haha. I do have a blue desk mic tho so if you don't, I might consider other headphones. Also, I would consider not doing Bluetooth as the above person isn't, I have issues in certain games with the Bluetooth protocols in windows. Black ops 6 and rocket League are the easiest example, as soon as a match starts and I connect to voice chat, bluetooth immediately and fully crashes until I restart my computer. System Bluetooth settings get laggy, I can turn off Bluetooth but it won't turn back on and it shows no Bluetooth adapter. It is a known issue, and for most turning off hands free telephony in windows fixes, but def doesn't for me. This however doesn't happen in most games and ABI is amazing with them as are most games. I have my old hyper x cloud 2 wired for those games XD.
r/ArenaBreakoutInfinite • What Headset Are You Guys Using To Play ABI? ->The blackshark v2 pro sounds worse than the kraken v3 pro though you can check Crinacle and rtings review and measurements on it also the kraken is built better than the blackshark aswell still cracks under stress at the hinges but only a hairline crack doesn't disintegrate like the blackshark does Also the blackshark is limited to a 6db eq either way in synapse and the kraken has a 12db limit so you get more flexibility with customisation of sound
r/razer • What are the best Razer headsets right now? ->I have had a fully functioning razer blackshark headset since 2020 and it's fine. I think there are lemons out there as well as folks who don't take proper care of their gear.
r/razer • Stay away from Blackshark Razer wireless headsets ->just bought the blackshark and its super amazing!.I am all hearing now and not to mention its super comfy.Its also a beast with thx spatial audio software.
r/ArcRaiders • Headphones Raccomendation for the best Arc Raiders experience ->Razer, Black Shark V2 Pro. I got them 4 years ago when I got my ps5 and they were like $200. The sounds quality is phenomenal, and the comfort of them is amazing. My head never hurts wearing them for long periods of time. Razer makes good products. I don’t think they are specifically advertised for ps5, but they work with the console perfectly.
r/playstation • I need recommendations for a PS5 headset, I don’t mind spending a lot of money, what are your best suggestions? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
