following you since quite some time. and i think i never commented. just wanted to say that you improved a lot in quite short time. you said that you cant adjust the mic in the virtuoso. i just wanted to mention that you can use "equalizer apo" as softwarte to adjust your speakers/headphones/mic once and then you never have to turn on the programm again as it acts in a kind of driver way. this is better then an extra software for every utensil you use. this also is better on the pc performance :). probably check that out and you can improve the quality of every headset mic very much - i would love to see a video series about this since every wireless headset lacks some mic quality
Sadly, Equalizer APO doesn't work well along Discord, as it doesn't create a new device and Discord overwrites the settings.
@@soyunbonus is that so? I Set a Equalizer apo For my blue snowball Yesterday and tested in discord With a friend if He can hear a diffence when i was turning it on and Off and he heard a huge difference 🤔.
@@soyunbonus the Problem is Most of the time if you use already a eq Software for your device. Like the steelseries engine for the arctis Headsets. They also Work as APO and Windows has Problems using multiple apo for one device.
@@Sersch777 wat is a equalizer apo.... :)

What a criminally underrated tech channel! Format, presentation, and A/V quality are immaculate; thank you for your videos and I hope you get recognized soon!
Wtffff. Just went to read the comments and saw you have 1.57k subs???? Expected ALEAST 150 for this level of production quality and presence. Props to you. Keep up the amazing work!
I ordered the black shark v2 pro a couple of hours ago, I’m glad I did.
How comfortable are they? I have issues with headsets like HyperX - my head hurts where the band presses against my head.
@@SoulProxy9001 very comfortable. I enjoy mine and I truly think you’ll enjoy yours
@@factsoftheconfederacy7151 Thank you for the quick reply
@@SoulProxy9001 you’re welcome
And? Do you like them? I am one click away from buying...
Your channel is greatly underrated! You explain things very well and I appreciate how in-depth you go into explaining the products! Thank you for this amazing video. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much for your review! I could not believe my eyes when I saw you only have 2k+ subs. This felt more like a 200k+ sub channel. Top notch production and review, you deserve more for your videos!
Thank you for this - very much appreciate it! 👍
Found this video while searching for reviews/recommendations and I must say I am very impressed with the quality of the video from such a "small" channel! You provided the information quickly and in depth without dragging on, and I think I can finally make my decision and go with the BlackShark! Thank you for the in depth review and comparison, and I look forward to watching more of your videos when I just can't figure out what to buy!
Really appreciate it that you do the mic test right at the beginning, most reviewers just do it hidden at the or sometimes never, thanks for that and you great reviews
I was surprised to come across a video comparing the two headsets I'm specifically looking at getting, but such a great quality video was an even bigger surprise!
Same. I was literally between buying one or the other. I enjoy the features and style of the Virtuoso but but every review I watch gives the audio quality and comfort of the V2 an A+. The decision has been made I suppose.
@@JasonCS5 did you buy the V2 pro already? How was it? Considering on buying one
@@kyuuyu00 I did purchase them actually. Audio quality was great but build and microphone quality is lacking. I returned them and purchased the SteelSeries Arctis Wireless Pro and so far I’m really enjoying the sound, quality, and features over the V2 Pro.
@@JasonCS5 im not an expert but lets say if im hesitant to buy the virtuoso or the steel series wireless pro which one do you recommend? Focusing on fps games
@@Joe-ww6rm steel series give you more features and control over the sound in your game using the Doc. I would go with them.
Randomly found your video. Keep going! You have perfect voice, structural presentation and good charisma!)
Thank you! 👍👍
FYI, for the Corsair Vituoso, you can use the iCue software, you can have an option to disable the LED when the microphone is active, meaning that the only time you see the LED, it's when it's muted (and red). You never see the green led.
I didn't expect to find a video on this but I'm glad I watched this!
i love the depth of detail when comparing the two as well as the inclusion of the mic tests, which is the one thing that brought me to this video. great video!! been looking and waiting for the best time to upgrade and get a headset for my PS5
Thanks for the review! I was having a bunch of issues finding good comparisons for these specific headsets when I narrowed down to them. So... Idk, you are a pleasure to listen too and got a sub. Hope you are doing well.
Such a well-articulated and presented comparison video. Exactly what I was looking for. I hope your channel explodes this 2021. Good luck! I have also subbed!
I loved this video dude. The setup and editing is just spot on and I love it. I think in-game the Razer seemed much better but generally the Corsair sound quality was more pleasing!
I watched this from the beginning till the end. cuz of you i got the virtuoso last month. I'm so so so happy and i feel so premium. SUBSCRIBED!!
People say that after wearing it for sometime it gets painful is that true?
Love this video! Thank you for comparing these headsets really helped me out! :)
Saying the "fantasticly long name" makes my day.
Thank you for adressing the comfort, much appreciated. PS the title called the Blackshark a Balckshark. Might wanna change that :) You also mentioned we'll get onto the mic quality in a section that was after the actual mic comparison, something to keep in mind.
👍👍👍 Thank You!!!,
Your background music is amazing! I mean classical? Way ahead friend. Cheers.
@J T legend thank you👍
You're a breath of fresh air, man! So many obnoxious youtubers out there and you've got a great screen presence. Anyway, it was a great video. Straight to the points and easy to follow. New sibscriber, here. Keep up the awesome work, man!
This video has been very helpful in the tough decision replacing my 6 year old headset that finally gave up the ghost. Thanks!
Thank you for this amazing review. You are doing a great job, I really really like it!
Recently I've been looking for a good headset to replace my tape-covered razer man o' wars and I've noticed it's hard to just read reviews and get a good idea. On a lot of things, I can just read the bad reviews and see how many of them are just shipping problems but on audio devices, I can't really do that. The videos I've watched on your channel have been crazy helpful in narrowing things down and I love the presentation. This channel should have a million subs. Thanks for the help!
Is Razer a good brand for headsets? I'm considering getting a pair from them.
@@smokecharge4196 I like them. I've my man o' wars for a long time and they've worked great. Lots of my friends owned krakens and they always said they loved them. I'm not sure about the more modern headsets though. I've owned lots of razer products over the years and they've all been great so far. Hope this helped.
@@liammcfarlin3923 This did help. I just got the Nari Ultimate headset and it's the coolest thing I've ever used.
saw this video yesterday. It was very helpful and actually order the Razers (yesterday). (Amazon arrived today), I like em!!~ thanks for review these. {got a sub from me}
Thanks for this video bro helped a lot !
Got the blackshark v2 pro the other day and its a night and day compared to my previous hyper x cloud. Man the comfort, audio quality and mic hit the nail. Kudos for the good review or rather head to head comparison.
You still have blackshark v2 pro ?
@@anaszx90agn84 currently using it atm haha never thought of buying any other headphones atm
I wanted to give the Corsair Virtuoso a try because of the amazing mic, even after the numerous complaints about it being uncomfortable, unfortunately it is true, while the audio and microphone are impeccable, the headband just digs a hole in the top of your head, can't wear them more than 10-20minutes without it being extremely painful, I tried multiple angles, positions and even sticking a rag on top of my head..., the ear pads are also very shallow so your ear literally presses against the speaker. It is a shame, it's literally a great headset but at the end of the day comfort is more important for me, I'll return them and give the Blackshark v2 pro a try.
Hey, did you get the blackshark v2 pro yet? I wanted to ask what you think about it now in comparison to the virtuoso.
Yeah how are they? I have them and they're great.
Did the same mistake. I'm, returning my Virtuoso for Blackshark.
Yup same reason I went with the blackshark. I really wanted the virtuoso but I already knew my ears wouldn't fit and they would be worthless for long sessions. If they made an updated version with a bigger ear cup I might add it.
hows the blackshark v2 pro
I was like, how many subs does this guy have after i watched this video. I looked down and was 100% sure that he at least had 500K subs, but when I looked he only had 1.95K subs!!!!!!!! IMPOSSIBLE, you most have some other channels with over 500K subs??!?!! VERY good review, keep up the good work. A sub from me! :)
You got a sub from me. I like the accent, the presentation and how quickly and clearly you speak. I do have one nitpick though. If you're gonna do reviews then please do care about the details of the product. That's part of the review process. I'm not saying to blab on about the specs but at least highlight them.
Excellent review format. You were able to cover everything that is needed for a headphone. I also liked how objective you are. You earned a sub! Hope your page grows larger in 2021! Looking forward for more reviews. Question - where'd you get the mercury V2 pro as seen in the background? Is that a test model? Been looking for it online and can't seem to find one.
there's no mercury v2 pros is just that the box has a plastic sticker (i dunno what are they called specifically) on top of the v2 pro pic on the box that explains why it looks white on the box
Nice and straight to the point. Great review.
Great review, would love to see a Razer Kaira pro review, great work m8
Subbed. Awesome content....thank u brotha.
Very good quality videos! Here before you get to 100k!
Thank you so much for the great video! I’ve decided to ditch my hyper x cloud II’s for the Razer V2 Pros!
Did you buy it? so how is v2 pro durabilty? Are the wires on the side of the earcups intact? Does it loosen or break?
Maybe it’s just me, but I usually base headsets on sound quality and comfort. I love Arctis sound quality but they hurt my outer ear, that being said comfort is king and I’d have to hand it to the black shark on this one. Great videos btw.
What arctis do u have?
It's crazy how some other people find the arctis very comfortable. I guess it really depends on one's ears. However, I don't know a lot of people complaining about the razer's comfort.
Can you compare Blackshark V2 and V2X? Also, have you tried the Bose QuietComfort 35 Series 2 Gaming Headset? Is it a good gaming headset (for the price)? Please do a review...
i would declare a winner based on sound quality, but thats just me. still an excellent video. thanks.
Great review chap!
Love your reasonings and methodology
High quality review, way to go !
Great video. I've been PC gaming for 9 years and always avoided razer for their 'Badge price' periferals and prebuilts. But over the last 3 years I've fully succumbed and swapped from a full logitech set up to a full razer periferals set up. This video was the last and very overdue nail in the coffin for my ancient G403's
Its a lovely review im subscribing
Every time I watch one of your reviews, I feel like I CAN simply walk into Mordor Thanks again for the top quality video, Boromir!
hahahahaha - Legend
Brilliant review mate
This is the best review I’ve seen
why u don t have 1M sub ? XD your reviews are so good
Thank you
He just doubled within 2 months. Hes gonna be big very soon. He actually puts his games into the video when NOBODY DOES. It's like okay the mic is pretty good. Amd DAMN the quality in game sound is fricken amazing.
such an underrated channel
Excellent reviews!
THANK YOU for mentioning the ears hitting the Virtuoso drivers. Had the same experience-just couldn’t wear them, and they’re so heavy that even replacing the ear cups only gets you so far. Shame, because the mic is still second to none.
Accurate and awsome review. I'm currently awaiting my Razer Blackshark after returning my Corsair Virtuoso. I choose the Corsair because they look absolutly fantastic and premium quality... but they are so inconfortable it's quite surprising for such a hefty priced Headset.
good review my friend thank you very much. it helped
keep up with the amazing content
Thanks for helping me make a choice after watching numerous videos on sub $200 Wireless headsets. Going with the Razer
Hello, i got ly hyper x cloud flight s 7.1 yesterday but the sound from it was too Sharp for my ear. I want a headset Which has very good audio and a decent mic and i was wondering Which headset you would recommend. The headset i have used most of my life is razer kraken pro Which has Nice audio
I am thinking of getting the Razer Blackshark v2 pro, the logitech g pro x wireless, and the hyper x cloud 2 wireless. Which one would you choose?
THANKS AGAIN BRO
Remarkably
This channel is underrated.
would me nice if you mentioned if these can be used with the phone and the pc simultaneously
I seen people complaining about the headband. Good for me that I haven’t felt that. I have used a ton of headphones/headsets, I got the crosair and have used them in about 4hr periods in the past weeks and haven’t felt any discomfort. The weight of the headset felt weird at first but I got used to it
I have recently bought a pair of Corsair Virtuoso and they are incredibly uncomfortable. They advertise "Comfort" and somewhere of "All day play", but I can't keep them on for more than three minutes before my head feels a piercing like pain and my ears feel like they are stinging. It has been three days now and my head is in absolute pain, I really want to keep these headphones however because I cannot find another headset that has such fantastic mic quality while also being able to detach from the headset, and doesn't have a pop to it or picks up background noise. If I wanted something with comfort and as well a clear mic, I would have to go search for a studio headset and a studio mic, but I don't make music and I don't stream. Not to mention how expensive the two combined is.. I've wrapped the head piece with large soft yarn to pad my head to hopefully help with the issue. I cannot confirm if this has worked however, as my head is still in pain from wearing them before. Also a side note, when I first plugged them in, the audio sounded terrible and needed adjusting until it sounded good enough to call it a "High Fidelity Gaming Headset" Overall I think Corsair put quality of audio/build first over comfort, or didn't even put comfort into thought. There are reviews stating how painful it is to keep them on and believe me, its painful. The build quality is beautiful however they put too much into weight of the headphones leaving pain of the consumer in the end. I wouldn't recommend these to my worst enemy, even on a bad Monday.
i just subscribed ! nice content !! :)
I got the Virtuoso SE, you convinced me.. lol
How is your experience with your virtuosos?
That's it I'm subscribing right now
i was comparing these exact headsets but the video reviews i watched favoured the corsair. i will agree the mic is better on the corsair, the sound is the same as my now dead a50 headset but OMG these corsairs are bloody painful if you dont have small ears. iordered aftermarket memory foam cups to replace the stock ones and they help a little but the shape is part of the problem, the other part is the pressure points caused by the design
Great video ! thanks!!
can you still get the surround sound on ps4 with these? If not, is there another headset that would have it?
Awesome review
great video thanks
Very good review !!
I have a call center job from home I have the blackshark v2 right now... is their anything else I should consider?
Just got the Virtuoso SE, and totally agree about the headband. Its just painful! I entered in contact with someone to have a custom made memory foam cushion for that. Can't wait. haha
So u still use virtuoso?
So u still use virtuoso?
@@Willy_Wanka don't buy it if u looking for comfortable in long hours. My ears pain as hell if i use like 3 hours listen to music and especially games
@@manssupar thanks. Got a fat $80 deal on the hs80's and they are very comfortable I can tell already, seemed for the prize like the best deal by a long shot
Can u please check and confirm , do virtuoso work with IPAD wirelessly via OTG adapter
Can i plug a new aux microphone (a different brand) into a headset with detachable mic?
Top rate material pal , picked up the blackshark Pro today 85 notes , well worth it
in terms of sound quality blackshark v2 or g pro x or hyperx alpha s or virtuoso xt ?
I have noted we have ears of the same type/dimensions. Please, tell me what headset you recomends for me considering confort as first desirable characteristic.
what are your settings for the razer headset my m8s say they cant hear me at all
FYI: The Virtuoso is compatible with the Switch and Mac. I know because it works on my Macbook and Switch. It's even compatible with Android both wireless (via the wireless dongle and an OTG cable) and wired via USB-C to USB-C or USB-C TO USB-A. Mic works too. Might want to correct your compatibility section. Oh and you can also turn off the green light when unmuted via iCue. Just so you know.
Do you enjoy them?
Yes, I do. Had them for about five months and I still in awe by how good they sound. The build quality is amazing too, best headset I've purchased so far.
How to make the virtuoso sound better. Use an equalizer program like Boom3D. Day and night difference.
Nice comparison - I like these Death Matches - going to do my own (just for me, not a video or anything) with the Arctis Pro Wireless and the Razer Blackshark V2 Pro. Once these are compared, I'll hopefully have one to keep for PC + PS5 (plus some 4k Blu-ray film watching) - if not, my next ones on the list are the Astro A50 and Audeze Mobius or Penrose (although the Mobius is a bit too spenny for headphones). I'm now starting to think I'll need 2 pairs from different manufacturers to cover all the bases, but we'll have to see how my ears react. Maybe a gaming headset for PS5 and "normal" headphones (B&O, Sennheiser, Grado) for films and other media. I can't do the whole home cinema thing right now, so I have to make do with immersive audio plugged directly into my lug-holes. Also, it's good to see UK KZheadrs doing their thing, without the hyperbole and "hype beast" mentality. I've subbed and will look forward to more "straight down the line" content (hate people who say they've subbed, like you owe them something, but there we are). Cheers!
weird guy you are
@@Willy_Wanka Thanks fella, you too.
Turned in my Virtuoso and bought the Razer after this video
Can u pls compare razer bs v2 pro with logitech g pro x wireless? Thanks a lot
will the Blackshark v2 pro work wirelessly with Nintendo Switch docked?
Could you start adding chapters? Would be great!
Brilliant video.
thank you :)
seems like i already made up my mind. im going for the virtuoso and ill see about the top padding if its just as uncomfortable as you say ill probably get some padding attachment, the sound and mic just cant be beat
you have some confirmation bias to address, but I hope the headset was worth it
Just came across your channel through my recommended feed. I'm looking at wireless headsets to replace my 5 year old Steelseries H Wireless. I want comfort (not looking at gamer-y shiny plastic looks) and very good mic quality. What can you suggest I buy ? Budget is around $300.
I'd take a look at the steelseries Arctis Pro. seriously comfortable and high quality audio. also a fairly clean design and look. hope this helps :)
@@ApplicableTech but at that price range, wouldn't it be better to just go for the Astro a50's?
5:58 . Dude the look you gave me with like "why tf is this name so long" lmao 🤣😂funniest reaction lol its like a cheap item being sold how they have every little bit of detail in just the title lmao so great lol
Corsair is beautiful, Im so glad I got it.
I'm subscribing to your channel just to support you, good work, sometimes we just need some motivation :)
Thanks man!
Anyone know if the V2 Pro is fully compatible on PS5, though the PS5 doesn't support THX? Will you still get all channels, or just stereo?
As an all day Logitech fanboy and using the g430 for the last 7.5 years I decided to buy a new headset.. I was going to go with the g933 artemis spectrum(or whatever the new version of it is called) but since I've only bought Logitech products since the beginning, I decided I needed to give other brands a try. Also I moved to a different city where the weather is extremely humid throughout most of the year, the complete ear isolation was really uncomfortable after when head and moist would build up. I knew that corsair makes really sturdy products and I hate razer probably because they focus more on the flashy side of things(even though not as much anymore) I went with the virtuosos. And unlike most people, I don't find them very uncomfortable. Only the top of my ears make contact with inside of the headset and they don't hurt even after couple hours. But yes, the headband is awful. Its super thin and after sometime it just presses into your skull since the headset is also quite heavy. I would only get this issue after like 6 hours of playing with Logitech, but with this one it begins after an hour or so. Apart from that, I find it quite uncomfortable to play while charging the headset with the usb port. I mean it is positioned towards the back of the headset, and since the charging cable is so thick, it just rubs aganist my shoulder while I turn my head around. In the end corsairs headset has got some problems, but they are not as bad as people say and I suggest whoever is stuck between these two to go try them out first rather than sticking just to the reviews because everyone has got different ear shape
Corsair Virtuoso SE vs Logitech G Pro X. I can't pick between these two. Can anyone help? I need great positional audio since I play games like siege.
And now, the final boss fight: RAZER BLACKSHARK V2 Pro Wireless VS LOGITECH G Pro X Wireless PS subbed and you should too
coming soon!! 👍
A cable, great branding there :D
I just recently bought the BlackShark V2 Pro, after looking at all of the reviews i could find. Hoping that i didn't make the wrong choice.
so how is v2 pro durabilty? Are the wires on the side of the earcups intact? Does it loosen or break?
The Corsair microphone sound waaaay better?
