"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."
"Noise cancellation is solid. ... It's on the level of the Bose QC Earbuds, my previous daily driver, and actually sounds cleaner and feels better in the ear. ... Yes! I was also surprised by how good ANC is compared to the Bose buds. ... 10 ... The ANC on the PBP2 is better. ... Mine are much, much better than both my PBP1 and my Bose QCs."
"noise cancelling headphones are such a blessing for me. i've always been sensitive to noise and i get overstimulated easy when out in public. they give me silence and privacy when I need it. worth every cent!"

"And playing games with this is so immersive, you can hear everything crystal clear, the bass is placed at the right moments with the right amount and it's very good for competitive gaming. ... Playing games, especially FPS ones, I think it's not negotiable to have DTS or some kind of surround sound. ... DTS produces clearer sounds for me, which is better for hearing steps in fps games. ... the sound of footsteps are crystal clear on FPS games. I like the Pro X2 for competitive gaming a lot, especially FPS. ... DTS helps so much with the clear sound of steps in CS or Apex."
"Good sound quality is super crisp can heard people coming from far away in rainbow six. Great speakers for Rainbow. ... The sounds quality is super crisp with the sonar EQ I would have definitely kept them if it wasn’t for the Microphone being wonky"
"the difference is so God damn insane. The unusable, worst headset I've ever got turned into the best headset I've ever listened music or played games on. ... I had so much fun listing to all the different music genres, I couldn't get enough. ... And playing games with this is so immersive, you can hear everything crystal clear, the bass is placed at the right moments with the right amount and it's very good for competitive gaming."

"crossover on the soundlink series is horrible and it made the speaker sound muddy."
Could you comment about the sidetone loudness? The V2 Pro from 2023 has sidetone, but it's really not that loud in the mix, and it results in talking much more loudly than required. This is my only issue with the headset. The V3 Pro having ANC makes me think that the ambient feature and sidetone are likely better. UPDATE: I bought a set at Best Buy to try it out. It's worse than the V2 Pro; like twice as bad. The sidetone seems to have more volume but holy shit the bass in the sidetone pretty much makes it non-existent. I don't see how Razer goes from bad to worse with this. Both of these headsets are nearly perfect headsets if the sidetone was clear and boosted a bit more. Back to the store it goes.
r/razer • Razer BlackShark V3 Pro (3 hours in review) ->Yeah. I'm liking it in Tarkov.
r/razer • 1 week with Razer Blackshark V3 Pro ->If it were me I’d go to eBay and get a set of the wired nova pros or the wireless pros , with a warranty and then buy a set of wicked cushion ear pads and headband . Second option would be a set of razor black shark 2 wired headphones, for 100$ or buy the newer wireless model I believe the v 3 is 160$ and the v4 is 200$ . That my op I’ve had the nova pros for awhile now as a remote guy and they are my go to with the cushions , I still need to upgrade the headband though only thing I haven’t done. Edit : I bought my nova pro used on eBay with the warranty and warranties them when they had an issue . Got a second set and they have been solid
r/XboxSeriesXlS • Best Competitive gaming headset $200 or under? ->I bought is yesterday, and boi audio quality is like an ass if you activate THX Spatial Audio
r/razer • Razer BlackShark V3 Pro (3 hours in review) ->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 ->It's an extremely common issue with this particular headset with the exact same point of failure.
r/razer • Stay away from Blackshark Razer wireless headsets ->Again, this particular headset only. The 2023 and up black sharks. They cheaped out on the side hinges. I've seen the same posts for the last 2 years.
r/razer • Stay away from Blackshark Razer wireless headsets ->> AS LONG as you put ANC strength on 3 and not 4 in Razer Synapse. 4 is broken and you will hear a high pinging sound Can confirm. ANC level 4 does not work as it should. But the support does not seem to understand that.
r/razer • 1 week with Razer Blackshark V3 Pro ->Razer BlackShark V3 good there (also had update for microphone and sound great). You got a good pair so you enjoy it, just get some wicked cushions if you do t have it already, it really gives that extra comfort. Fractal is an odd one out as it is one I would use over Audeze most of the time and same I could say with nova pro. The price is just insane, so my top 3 ones are in gaming category fractal, Razer V3 pro and the SS elite but with extra cushions, Audeze as a 4th and the Astro 5th. I would stick with top 3 ones here personally and your elite looks nice too, looks better go out listen too music as example. Audeze overrated I think but like I say we are individuals, ain’t a number 1 or 2 for me.
r/steelseries • The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Elite: A Multi-Platform Powerhouse (Pricey, but Peerless) ->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.
r/buildapc • The Best Gaming Headset to Buy Now? ->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.
r/buildapc • The Best Gaming Headset to Buy Now? ->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).
