That Blackshark mic is INSANE, great comparison between these two. Studio is looking great also!
Honestly can't fathom why you don't have millions of subscribers by now. You post by far the highest quality videos and the most in depth, real world reviews. Seriously god tier.
I chalk it up to my wildly inconsistent release schedule lol thanks man!
Wow I actually just noticed, with how well it's produced I just assumed it was a big channel.
The mic on that Blackshark is kinda nuts. Great review, as always.
I recently got the Blackshark at the beginning of July and its been fantastic. Previously using Phillips SHP9500 with a Vmoda Boom Pro which is such a fantastic combo for the price, but I have been trying to remove wires from my setup and whilst I wanted something like the Nova Pro for the DAC, not many had great mics. As soon as I saw/heard samples of the BS 2023 in other reviews I got them off Amazon UK. I think they are great for me. Comfortable, light, and I STILL havent had to recharge them. The only reason I open synapse is to check now. The mic is properly good and it makes me feel like Im not sacrificing anything. If you can live with the plastic then its a great choice IMO.
that mic sounds crazy, question would the blackshark be able to work with the aux if you're using an adapter?
short and straight to the point . this channel is Awesome
Thumbnail is literally me and my homies comparing our headphones
Aa opposed to figuratively?
If they are using the Logitech you win because the mic quality makes it hard to hear them 😂
I think you should review the Hyperx Cloud 3 wired and wireless version. The mic from what I heard is amazing on it. Thank you for the video.
I have the JBL 910 and Turtle Beach Stealth Pro. Love the imaging of TB and the explosive Bass of 910. Do either of the Logitech or Razer products compare to the imaging or explosive Bass of 910. Also what's the best headset for Virtual Surround sound for a gaming wireless headset?
As a certified head sweater, I highly recommend head sets that have sports mesh style earpads, notably the Razer blackshark and steelseries Arctis nova. Wicked cushions can also get the job done.
I was looking at both of these. Appreciate the comparison! Would love to see a review of the new Blackshark V2 Hyperspeed. Curious if anything was sacrificed with the cheaper price.
the mic isnt detachable
Banger video as always! Any mice on your radar you're looking to review or are actively working on the review?
The bigger takeaway for me was how good the razer software got. Always avoided them because of it, and haven't really used ghub for the longest.
logitech used to have a good software but they ruined it when they released ghub
Personally I didn't have any problems with ghub. I owned the original G Pro X wireless for about 7 months, EVERYTHING worked flawlessly. Razer has come a long way too, I use synapse for my Naga Pro mouse, can't fault it 😁
be careful if you plan on buying the razer headset, i bought one and a big piece of plastic fell off of the other end of the headband after 2 months and i was very careful with them
That comment didnt age well lol
Yeah, I guess I have a different reason to most likely not buy a logitech headset (logitech g pro x broke after 4 months....) but razer synapse has certainly gotten really good
With the look and the sound of the mic on the black shark I'm kinda leaning on that one. How does the mic do with that 1 loud gamer next to you on their set up?
Thanks for this head to head as it helped me pick the Razer headset as I needed a decent mic and the Razer mic really is a good as it sounded in your video.
the best reviewer on youtube man. Would love to see more keyboard reviews/comparisons.. or perhaps even some gaming monitor comparison reviews!
Can you cross switch the mics between the 2 headsets?
God tier review . Got all the info i need. Keep up the good work dude 👍🏻✌🏻
Hey man, great content! Mad props to you. At one point in the video you mentioned that the wireless features is the convenience that makes the prices reasonable for both headsets and there are cheaper alternatives if the quality of sound and mic is a priority rather than the wireless feature, I wish you would've given more context and actually shown us that particular examples. Still, if anyone knows the answer to my question, I'd appreciate hearing it. Thanks.
The difference in mic quality can not be overseen.
weird question here, the black shark v2 pro mic could work with the audio technica ath m50xbt2? like a frankstein headset
I had NO IDEA about the onboard memory manager for Logitech. Thank you so much! I hate G Hub but I also own too many Logi periphs.
I currently have a pair of G733 headphones from Logitech, and I've been thinking of switching to another brand because of GHUB's horrendous software and the number of problems I've had with their products. I've also owned the Pro X, but it ended up bricking on me. With both headsets, whenever I would charge them, they would just turn off and mess with my peripherals.
If I can get the new black shark and the Arctis Nova Pro for pretty much the same price (Arctis being 10$ more), which would you recommend?
Curious how the new HS80 Max compares
Hi i am looking at the G Pro X, just wondering what the difference is between the G pro X 2 as it is £100 more, also looking at the Nova 7 , thanks
What about the HyperX Cloud II Wireless? How do they compare with the Logitech and Razer?
i'm here for one thing and one thing only.... how do you keep your bead oil off your keyboard and mouse.... i dont even use alot like i used to when i first started growing my beard but lately my dam mouse has been irritatingly sticky. and i'm concerned the essential oils in the blend is messing up my mouse in particular since its the item that seems to stay sticky no matter how i clean it. i have a brand new logitecch mx master3 that i dont wanna get all sticky (its my gaming mouse that is suffering) any advice?
Thats a damn solid microphone on the Razer
Great vid as always!
I owned the g pro x headset and found the clamping force to be a bit too tight for my head and the sound was not that great. I have the lightspeed headset and its way more comfortable for me. So is the blacksharks which is now my new favorite.
Great video brother thanks for the info, really had me pump the breaks on that purchase. What would you say is your absolute best wireless gaming headset for competitive gaming? I play Apex Legends and COD only and havent really found my favorite headset yet. Thanks for your input brother
Have been eyeing that Blackshark for the mic alone, now you convinced me
Very good video, bro. Excellent footage and accurate information. It helped me a lot to decide between the two, thank you. Hug from Brazil.
Which wireless headset on the market is the best for around 250€ atm ? I mosly play for long hours. ty
Awesome job as always man!
I will say in the Logitech mic testing, there was a weird robotic reverb on that mic and not on the OG. I dunno if it's a normal issue, or if something with the video, but it was extremely noticeable to me
I'm 95% sure it's because noise reduction is activated in the software, it makes the mic sound like complete garbage instead of .. average, I guess. Logitech should really look into that because it has f*cked them over in several of these youtube reviews lol. Worst part is the settings seems to randomly reactivate itself after turning it off, it does for me at least.
Does your copy also have issues with the adjustable hinge being weak and slowly going down when you use the headset? I decided to buy the g pro x 2 after seeing this but both of my copies come with the same issue, the left side cup needs constant adjustments throughout the day and i'd hate to just refund it :(
Bro that Logitech mic intro has me dying 😂😂😂
Apparantly you can use the blackshark mic on the x2, can you confirm this?
I like the fact that he gets to the point on each toping fast instead of talking about each topic for 5 min
This is the first time I have watched one your videos, and I instantly subscribed because of your in-depth review. Keep it up man!
Thanks man!
badseed tech not sure if someone else has commented this but is it possible to put the Razer microphone into the Logitech pro 2x? Since the microphone quality is better will it transfer the quality to the other headset. I know this isnt ideal but personally would spend the extra 20 if i decided to go with the Logitech based on your comparison. Please let me know.
What headphones do you recommend for PS5 and Call of Duty that have good sound quality and are comfortable, maximum 310 dollars, that are not too closed headphones?
Hey man! Great reviews, thanks a lot! I'm looking for a good headset and checked hundreds reviews already. SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless looks good but a bit expensive for me and I don't want to have any additional stuff on my table. I don't care about bluetooth or ANC, I will use it only with my PC via dongle. Mic is pretty important as I play mostly shooters with teammates and I don't plan to buy an external mic. Also I need to be sure that I can go to another room without any issues with sound (~15m radius). Budget is about 200 Eur. Now I'm choosing between SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7 and Razer Blackshark V2 Pro 2023. How do you think? Or maybe there is some other better options? Thanks in advance👍
which one did u get ?
This man deserves more subs. GREAT channel.
Can anyone tell me if the Blackshark V2 pro custom settings on the synapse software transfer over to the PS5 once setup on the Pc? That is the only thing weighing my decision to buy
Thank for videos sir.. so which ones are the best for imaging a footsteps in competitive gaming FPS on PS5??
Turtle beach stealth pro
Dumb question: Could the Blackshark be wired if I used a type-c to 3.5mm?
Nice vid mate
Are these worth coming from pc38x to?
Great review! Thanks :) which of the headphones will work best with answering call via iPhone? (I will be gaming with them but I need to be available for work calls) :(
Blackshark 100% - not only is the mic top tier, but you can just double click a button on the pack and be right into bluetooth without needing to connect in the moment.
@@badseedtech thank you :))))
im looking for a good surround sound headset for xbox gaming and was looking at logitech but that mic is off putting because im always chatting to friends while playing and would like something clearer like the razer. could you recommend the best headset for XBOX please? thanks. :-)
Great, fast hitting video. Nicely done.
hey, has anybody had a problem with the blackshark where there is a constant static noise when no audio is playing on the headset. I've tried everything and got no solution and I'm surprised no review vídeos mention this problem( although there is a lot of threads on Reddit about this)
hahaha as you mentioned a lot of threads on Reddit and I also experienced it, this is due to design or software (razer synce) issue and there is nothing we can do. Why no reviewers mentioned it ? Because of MONEY they took from Razer Bro!! If you can just return it and stay away from any razer products , especiall headsets. My blackshark v2 pro 2023 has noise issue and it disconnects randomly from my pc , and you can do nothing about it....
Maxwell is the highest tier you would recommend or are there higher?
i want to hear youre opinion on the epos h6pro
Great video as always. I was thinking about buying G pro X 2 or Black shark v2 pro but the only concern I have about Razer is the build does not seem secure with those metal "wires" that connect the base with the earcups. As the structure of G pro X2 looks stronger same as Hyperx Cloud Alpha for example. Could somebody comment on the strength of the build for blackshark, I would really appreciate it. I have a feeling that if I put them in my backpack they will be dead...
using the previous vers. solid af. not bendy at all
Let's be honest here, the microphone on Blackshark v2 pro is simply insane but somehow I like the Logitech G PRO X2 better because of the build quality and some other things. Could it work if you simply swap and use the Razer microphone on the Logitech headphones? Really nice reviews, straight on the point without hiding the bad things. Keep up the good work! ✌️
Yes I saw a video where someone swapped the blackshark v2 pro 2023 mic and used it on the g pro x 2. Sounded great. If you could possibly snag a mic it could be a good combo, but the blue voice in my opinion is pretty decent
i wonder if amazon return service would notice i swapped the mics....
@@lewytowar6860 lol smart, try it let us know
@@lewytowar6860can always try Walmart 🤣 I may have had a bad elite controllers bought a new one and swapped it and returned it. Despite mismatching serial they took it 😶🌫️ so probably can get away with the mic being different, they don't know 🤣
So how about Maxwell Audeze headsets vs IEMs?
Does anyone know what is his keyboard? The keys light up when he is touching them I want it 😢 7:50 7:59
What's the best competitive wired headset
Is it so much to ask for a decent wireless openback headset? If Philips could make my X2HR wireless that'd be great.
when Badseed drops a video, I don't even look at what the title is, I know it'll be a banger and that he'll eventually cover tech I'm in the market for
Muy bien explicado y tocado varios puntos como calidad de audio y calidad del micro
So which wired headset is recommandable at ~200$? preferably USB as I have other audio equipment on my soundcard
While I can't speak on the high end, my girlfriend recently picked up the Blackshark V2 X Wired, and they sound fantastic, Mic quality is what stands out though. It is super clear and clean, with very little background noise being picked up. Razer has really stepped up their game in terms of overall quality, even on the lower end. This is all plug and play on console. Haven't tested them on PC with extra software tuning yet.
I got a bargain from ebay and got a V2X for £15 for my son to use when watching ipad etc and was surprised at the comfort and fit of the headset. When I heard samples of the BS 2023 I knew it was going to be a good combo as they just seem to be the same fit but with a MUCH better mic (compared to their previous wireless versions).
Serious question, v2 pro or audeze maxwell?
What would you recommend for something that is close or maybe better in terms of audio quality? I dont care about wireless or microphone quality... Obviously would like something cheaper if im to "give up" those "features". Im asking because when playing shooters I really cant hear footsteps... Also I tried the logitecg and razer in store at best buy and they seem excellent for RPG s like elden ring or some diablo .
the mic on the razer blackshark v2 with standard EQ is way better and adding any EQ adjustments. impressive that means someone who just plugs and plays can get the best sound out of their mic
Im not even in the market for gaming headphones anymore but can't stop myself from watching a badseed upload
Loving my v2 pro’s! Really nice review!
i know not a lot of people dont want bloatware but if you want a really good official sound EQ software that also comes with a mixer the steelseries Sonar software is really good and is compatible with ANY headset as long as its actually connect to your PC wireless or wirelessly (DUH) please do a video on that. it will make everyones audio experience so much better. It also helps improve the virtual sound and directional sound. i can even go through ways it makes streaming much more simple. FOR EXAMPLE i can adjust my volume in the mixer but it wont change for the stream so you can set your sound for stream and leave it and adjust on your end and have a better experience while streaming on both broadcaster and viewers end
I get sticky keys on my huntsman is synapse is installed for any legnth of time. Reinstalling it will fix that problem for about 2 weeks. This is true for me on multiple systems
Been under the rock for a longggggggg time, so genuine question: how is the Virtuoso (both normal and SE) stacking up?
Its in dire need of a refresh. The mic still holds its own, but its been lapped in comfort and audio quality. Not a contender in the current market imo.
Important question does the blackshark have a mobile eq app or can it use the razer mobile eq app?
I have the older Blackshark and the difference between the mics for me is night and day damn
That's a crazy good microphone on the Razer 😮
my g pro x2 lightspeed sounds very odd in game. it definatly has bass but feels like it is completly separate from the mids and highs making those sound very sharp. my old $30 EKSA e900 pro sounded way deeper and more in depth. has anyone had this problem? im unsure if it actually sounds bad or if I am just used to the sound of my old headset but this is how it really should sound.
Hey which would you recommended for a PS5 user? Am a console gamer and am deciding which headset to purchase atm, been looking around and these two have caught my eye, I really like the adjustable ear pads from the Logitech but the mic seems incredible on the RBS V2 Thank you for the video, liked and subscribed 🙏🏽
I love the Blackshark V2 pro 2023 for so many reasons, but the right ear cup broke off after about 6 months though. Seems to be a common problem on the headset. I'm not rough on my gear. It slowly broke over time. First was an inside panel on the mount, then another piece broke off a few months later, then finally the whole thing snapped off.
That’s the issue of razer have quality issues
5:15 haha, Great video man!
I just want to note that while the G PRO X 2's mic is totally average, it sounds like garbage in this video because noise reduction is activated in the G HUB software. That setting is the source of that wierd robotic reverb sound. Anyway, great video like always :) Personally I bought the Blackshark first and would have preferred to use it but it had a very obvious static noise in the right ear cup so ended up with G PRO X 2 in the end.
I don't think it was fair to give both equal points for audio based on "Logitech had better sound but cost more, so ..". It is something more that you're getting for price, same as build quality. It had better audio, so -3 points from Razer. On a subjective note, does any deserve more points for wireless range when both go through a whole house? Not sure when I would be further from my PC then that Haha Apart from the audio points, thanks for the great review Brian, as always! Still subbed to your channel 😉
Subscribed becuse of the lightspeed mic explanation
i have blackshark pro 2v 2022 do you have big diffirent with 2023 blackshark? or only mic is good but the sound is same?
Sounds practically the same . Just have extra bluetooth connectivity if im not mistaken.
thoughts on acezone headsets?
Got the Pro X 2 with a great deal. Got it for 180€ at launch from Amazon. love it
Literally what I was asking in a server yesterday.
what happen if you connect the Blackshark microphone on Logitech ?
What's the best headset for competitive gaming in your opinion?
He has reviews on all my products. I had to sub. Plus the beard is destine for respect. 👍
The 5 band equalizer is really poor for a $250 headset. Also G Hub has a years long problem of not working with Windows spatial audio (Sonic/Atmos/DTS). In order to use Windows spatial sound you have to uninstall the Logitech audio driver/G Hub and install the basic Microsoft audio driver. However this of course means you lose all functionality of G Hub. This is a years long issue that people have been complaining about and Logitech hasn't fixed. It's really bizarre. Never seen this problem with any other headset in my life. It would be good if BadSeed Tech covered this issue, maybe they would fix it.
Do the black shark vs a Sennheiser HD58X plz
naw bro that mic alone sold me, as someone who does not care to get a standalone mic. That shit is wild that it sounds like that lmao.
Im still in between getting a50’s , pro x 2 or blackshark lol
I want the Logitech look but the mic of razer, is there any brand or model close to that?
I have the Razer Kraken Tournament Edition headphones. My experience with those headphones and Synapse... oof.... the EQ breaking, etc.., that alone makes me lean towards Logitech.
Are those on synapse 2?
Synapse 3.
Not to mention the fact that Synapse literally tries to force itself onto your pc after you plug in any Razer device, AND takes up half a gig of space...
wtf that blackshark mic is nuts. actually ridiculous how far headset mics have come.
I just need a Logitech g pro 2 headset with the razer mic quality
