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

Using Blackshark v2x since past 3-4 months. Absolutely the best gaming headphones I have used. Wires are not thin. The band supporting the cushion area looks thin, but if not used too roughly, it will sustain. Sound quality is good for gaming/movies/songs. just dont use the razer surround sound, it totally sucks.

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
