Does IEM’s sometimes even cause tinnitus? Because I was using IEM’s before for Val, and sometimes I would get that ringing sound in my ear when I went to bed. Now that I have Over the ear headphones, I haven’t had it since. If you wanna know I got the Razer Blackshark V2 X, and the sound is good, enable surround sound for better quality, and the mic is also fantastic. I have the 3.5mm jack version not the usb one Ofc tho it cannot beat IEM’s in the sound quality tho.

My mic is good, but I cannot speak about long term as I got it a month ago.  Overall build quality is solid. With a Y splitter included in the 3.5mm jack version.

I still have my Razer Blackshark Goblin X4's and they work great, and are wireless and last 60 hours! They dont make them anymore! and apparently Blackshark is a seperate company now? https://preview.redd.it/thq2qcjfzxmg1.jpeg?width=6096&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b805b628a2d566bd6e4200ef72c7d6fc4f7c5621 Sorry about the bad picture it's a Crappy phone!!

I wrote this under a different post but since this is quite fresh as well, I will copy here, maybe it will be helpful to someone with similar considerations: I have never had any headsets from these companies and recently tested some of them, here are my thoughts: Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen 3: decent sound quality, worst build quality, decent mic, decent software - DQ'ed for build quality and audio quality SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5: good sound quality, good build quality, good mic, bad software - DQ'ed for having analog attenuators, where one speaker played at way different volume than the other, depending on the volume wheel position (tested in 2 different pairs) Razer BlackShark V3X: good sound quality, good build quality, better mic, good software Razer BlackShark V3: better sound quality, better build quality, best mic, good software Razer BlackShark V3 Pro: best sound quality, best build quality, decent mic, good software HyperX Cloud III S Wireless: better sound quality, good build quality, decent mic, decent software It came down to V3 vs Cloud III. With V3 Pro being best build and best audio but quite heavy and expensive, and V3X as well as V3 not being as comfortable (the smallest headband adjustment was almost too large for me, and too large for my wife, where there is way more headband adjustment in V3 Pro, kind of weird), the winner is HyperX Cloud III S Wireless. Why? For me they are comfortable (the ears don't touch the inside of the cup, you can also remove the outside cup sections reducing the weight by another ~30g), sound isolation is good, decent enough mic and long battery life. I was looking for a headset that does have sound quality that can be enjoyable with music, and the other headsets on the list above like the Stealth 600 or the Arctis Nova 5 do not provide that (nor they should, they are for gaming, therefore, they have other sound properties pronounced, which you can also emphasize via software). Cloud III S have naturally more similar sound quality to V3, but I think it is a bit more detailed, and they sound great for the 75$ I got them for. For me, they would be good even at 120$. Again, it is my subjective opinion, and I have never used these softwares previously, only for the testing purposes (I know people have had different experiences over years).

Arctis Nova 5 decent, but I can't recommend due to the 2 pairs I tested had the same issue (the left and right drivers not being equal volume because of the analog attenuators and the volume wheel :)...). I'd recommend Razer BlackShark V3 or at least V3X, which should be around the same price range.

Yeah, the Razer V2X kinda sucks in terms of software (no EQ settings at all), and the cable wrap starts peeling pretty quick.
