I feel the same buddy I was using redgear cosmo 7.1 earlier with eq settings and all it's 7.1 channel se so good. And now I bought a v2x usb version and after getting this shit I got to know that these people not giving even a eq support from their software. As compare to redgear 7 1 was far better for sure

Well I got my stepson the razer blackshark v2s and he really likes them. They're great for positional audio for FPS's. But I just use my hd599s because I love how open back sounds, and I have a boom mic attachment for online gaming

low budget gamer here too, if mic bleed is the issue, go for a 3.5mm headset with a proper boom mic like HyperX Cloud Stinger or Razer BlackShark V2 X or even entry Turtle Beach models, they handle voice isolation much better than earphones.

i ave one of these and though its built well the microphone is bipolar. Some how it is both too senstive but not sensitive enough. It can pick me up breathing lightly yet it cant pick me up laughing

I have Blackshark and Logitech Pro X 2 Lightspeed at home I have very sensitive head and ears, if there's even a little bit of pressure, I have a headache and my ears hurt. So, I tested both headphones for about a month, but keep in mind I do always stretch them out quite a lot with books Both of headphones were fine for me, but I've chosen Logitech for myself (Razer went to my partner) cause in Blackshark I felt more...warm? Like nothing hurt, it was fine, but it felt like there wasn't enough air coming through. So, if you buy these, I don't think you're gonna regret it, but - I LOVE my Logitech Pro X 2. I spend about 3-4 hours gaming without any breaks, and it always feels great. Mic for me is not important, cause I have a separate one, but the mic's quality is also better than Blackshark. The only annoying thing about Logitech is its software, but I figured it out once and now all the settings are perfect Hope this helps!
