"the sound is trash"

"my ~$100 Razer Blacksharks are about as shitty as my mates ~$200 Logitech. Both sets are fine for gaming, but not an inch more."
"Soundwise it simply did not work for me at all ... the sound was very flat on a warm tone ... Probably good for racing games, I could hear the roar of the car but that's pretty much it."
"it sounds worse than my xm4"

"before using the Blackshark V2 X you have no idea how annoying that is when you're playing a single player game ... Also doesn't seem reliable to transport since you will have to bend the microphone."
Cloud Alpha is the only decent one here, the rest are meh and Razer audio products are actually awful. There are better options than these that cost far less.
r/HeadphoneAdvice • Which one of these Gaming Headphone is the best? ->Most gaming headphones are just cheap headphones sold at a higher price due to rgb or branding. Even cheap studio headphones would be far better. The old HyperX products like Cloud 2 and Alpha are based on studio headphones so they're not bad. Their new stuff is awful, though. And Razer in particular has the most overpriced headphones I've ever seen. SHP9500 would be far better than all of these and probably cheaper, too
r/HeadphoneAdvice • Which one of these Gaming Headphone is the best? ->Razer Blackshark V2 X's when I'm working from home. Completely unapologetic.
r/consulting • What are the best noise-cancelling headsets with MIC for working from home in YOUR OPINION currently? ->Another vote for blackshark v2 X, def best in class and great for the price
r/QuakeChampions • I'm looking for some budget, gaming headset recommendations ->Good for the money. Also recommend the razer blackshark V2 X
r/buildapcsales • [Headphones] Drop + EPOS H3X Gaming Headset | Audiophile | Headphones | Closed Back Headphones $39.99 ->Blackshark v2
r/XboxSupport • Which gaming headset would you recommend for the Xbox? ->I have seen some suggestions in the comments like Astro A50X, Nova Pro, Maxwells, etc. Currently, I have a 2020 blackshark, and personally I'm looking to get a pair of 6xx for music and single player titles, but they are not available in Europe. For wireless at the moment, the single "Cheap" ones that it took my eyes are the Turtle Beach Atlas Air, but I will have to look more in to them. Maybe for wireless you can try Turtle beach stealth pro or Master & Dynamic MG20 or Logitech G PRO X 2 Light speed wireless. I had the maxwells in the past and I went true 3 pairs of them from 10th May 2024 until 23 July 2024 (Yeah 74 days) tow of them Diaphragm damage and one of them factory defect (At least after the 3rd pair I got my money back) to be honest they are incredible at sound, I loved them, but the quality on the Drivers are bad, and I have seen a lot of people complaining about them.
r/razer • Razer Kraken V4 Pro sucks ->I am on this thread because I own blackshark v2s. I have had two pairs of these and it only takes a couple months for the cord to become terrible. I do not recommend these, you eventually start only being able to hear out of one ear and you have to jimmy the cord around until it sounds ok.
r/gamingpc • Best pc gaming headset ->koss 30ikph for music, drop PC38x for gaming and most of the time for office work razer blackshark wired for the comfort and excellent microphone
r/headphones • What headphones do you use as your daily drivers? ->i’ve had mine since 2022 and zero issues. i don’t abuse my headset, but ive dropped it probably 5+ times per year
r/VALORANT • Best Headset? ->I bought the razer v2 but I didn’t like the fit and it sounds worse than my xm4 and now I’m just waiting for the cloud 2 but if they sound the same as razer then I will just buy a vmoda mic for my xm4
r/buildapcsales • [Headphones] Drop + EPOS H3X Gaming Headset | Audiophile | Headphones | Closed Back Headphones $39.99 ->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!
