Razer - BlackShark V2 Pro for Xbox

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.

Id recommend the Xbox one because it’ll work on PlayStation but the PlayStation one wont work on Xbox (Thanks Microsoft)

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.

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.

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.

Blackshark has a great mic. My current steelseries mic is pretty good too. I was once on the headphones plus seperate mic train, however I said fuck it and realized as of late the "gamer" headsets have about everything I need in them, albeit audiophile quality which most people don't care much about anyway.

All I said was it has a great mic. I mentioned in another reply that the headband hinge disintegrated on me. My viper has lasted me 4 years with frequent travel and is still going strong. Get off your high horse.

I had a blackshark and loved it until the hinges disintegrated on me. I currently have the steelseries and it's... Okay? Noise canceling is useless on it. Software is ass. Other than that it's pretty good. The hot swappable batteries is neat. If I could go back I'd probably get the Audeze Maxwell. However they're heavy and a little unwieldy (I tried my friends on).

Using razor blackshark pro... they're pretty good.

Ok, so first of all, let me give you some context: Around 10 years ago, I had the Sennheiser PC363D for gaming. For me it was almost all I wanted: Excellent sound quality and positional sound, lightweight, comfortable, never made you sweat. I really liked it and it was also good for listening to music. But it had two problems: * First, the software was abandonware. Sennheiser stopped updating the drivers and those didn't work well on newer operating systems. * Second, the build quality was not good. It was made of cheap plastic, and after 10 years of heavy use, it was starting to fall apart, specially the flexible rubber of the mic boom. So, when I relocated 5 years ago I sold it. Surprisingly, someone paid for it more than what I paid for it new, because the guy really wanted it. I then got (yeah, I'm an idiot) a wired Razer Blackshark. Not only the sound quality is waaay worse than the PC363D, but the rails to adjust the ribbon band are crap, and the Razer software is horrible: Buggy as hell, and in the past it attempted to install cryptominers. I had it for a few years to recoup my investment, but it is time to let it go. This time I do not want to repeat the mistake, and want a proper headset. I've read good things about the **Beyerdynamic MMX** **~~300~~** **330 Pro**, and I'm also considering the **Audio Technica ATH-M50xSTS**. I owned the normal ATH-M50x at the same time I owned the PC363D, and honestly I thought the PC363D sounded better with most music and games. Is the MMX ~~300~~ 330 Pro as good or better than the PC363D was? Any other contender? My sole requirement is that any recommendation has an integrated mic and equals or surpasses thr PC363D in sound quality for gaming and media. I do not care jack or USB. Detachable cables and mic are a nice to have. Price is not a problem (within the gaming realm), but please do not recommend me some crazy expensive audiophile headset of >500€ because it is not what I need. I am also not interested in gaming crap, such as Logitech headsets. I got one once because it was what all review websited highlighted as "best gaming headset" and I returned it inmediately. Crappy plastic toy with white noise and money spent on rainbow leds. Thank you if you read so far! Edit: there were a couple of typos in my original post. While I originally wrote MMX 300 Pro, I really meant MMX 330 Pro (the newer, open end version). Edit 2: my motherboard has the Realtek ALC4080, which seems to be fine driving headsets up to up to 600Ω. If possible, I'd like to avoid having to buy a separate and big and bulky DAC because my desk is very crowded already. If it is something small like the DAC which came with the P363D (similar to a USB dongle) then it is ok.

Omg, i got the headset a few days ago and I have been so dissapointed with the sound, like you mentioning the bass is absolutely to strong and the sound quality is garbage, cant wait to try this tutorial out, thanks! I was just about to go and return it and go back to a Razer blackshark which I had prior to getting this!

Blackshark v2 pro is my favorite the only ones I can wear for a while without ears being bothered
