Thank you for the awesome video. I'm currently using an Arctis 7 Wireless and looking to upgrade as the mic isn't working so great anymore. One thing I really love about the Arctis 7 is the dual audio channel volume control.
super helpful. Exactly the review I was looking for.
Have not found a good youtube reviewer like you in a good while.
Honestly you make the best reviews on KZhead
Great content, I'm glad I stumbled onto your channel actually helpful content with tests! You've helped me decide what to get
One of the best reviews I've seen, thank you for that sir
Appreciate the comparison bud!
Hi all, iv watched hours and hours of tech/headset reviews, and the presentation and overview of the products here is excellent. Sometimes there's a little dry humour thrown in to. Great channel I'm hooked 🎣
Amazing breakdown thank you. You helped me make a decision thank you!
This is a VERY good comparison video. Great job!
Just what the doctor ordered, was looking for this comparison a few minutes ago.
Great review! The main selling point on the Arctis 9 is for PS5 users to be able to use Discord on their mobile phone while gaming until Discord comes out integrated on PS5 sometime in 2022.
Another great video. Thank you for taking the time to compare the headsets.
No problem 👍 :)
Great comparison. Good job!
Thank you for the breakdown!
im suprised that u only have 6.52k subs...u have a great content...for the video it was a good comparison and well explained...hope u guys will expand more and get more subs...
Thanks for the comparison. Really helped with my decision on the razor. Only suggestion I have is time stamp.
Letting all the ads play because you don't bore us with drawn out content. Stay straightforward! 💗 You deserve more subs!
I actually prefer the mic of the 9x demonstrated in this video, because it's easier to hear what you are saying. The broadcast mic on the razr sounds cooler, but I could see that getting annoying when also trying to hear the audio of the game for your party mates. Great comparison vid tho, keep it up!
Thanks for the video! I bought the Arctis 9 since I wanted to connect it to my phone!
Awesome video! Disappointed that steel series hasn't really upgraded the mic. The Black Shark v2 is a great headset and I hope we see more wireless mics continue to improve.
I was sure we would get a 9p/+ with USB-C and the little USB-C wireless adapter. Sad to see that steelseries doesn't want to give this to us :(
Underrated channel. Your content are of superb quality!
Much appreciated!
I agree that he said there are both good and not saying one is better then the other I'm a youtober and like the blackshark v2 pro I rather like this answer
Great video thank you for this!
I have just bought the Razor via your link. Finally one that was a no brainer to me, been researching over a year for one :-) Thanks a lot.
@Glenda you are a Legend!
It's good
Man do i love your energy the quality is super nice, and the way how you touch on every little thing is just amazing. I swear you should be having 1M subscribers
Really good review, thank you!
Another quality review, keep up the good work!
Thanks man 👍👍
Best review to be honest. I saw some just talk, some just read manual, and first time I saw testing speaker. 8k Sub. I wish you will get millions sub in near future. Immediately sub like. you are amazing.
great comparison overall!
Thank you for taking the time of testing and present what you like / do not like. It is so much appreciated! Whatever headset I will chose, I'll use your link for sure !! Do you believe the sound quality of the ARCTIS 9 on Bluetooth is good for listening to music? I am looking for a headset I can use for gaming but also to listen music with from my mobile device.
Quality content here! Bought a Razer Nari Ultimate but was disappointed with the whole package. After this video I think I will buy the black shark V2 pro. Thanks a lot!
Great comparison! Really enjoying my V2 Pro.
what headphones u had earlier ? maybe razer? i have the kraken v2 7.1 but are getting old and discomfi...for how long u have this blackshark ?
@@donroxitheoverthinker Had the first iteration of the razer kraken before. The Blackshark is so much better and way more comfortable. Still enjoying it after 8 months.
@@habeldibuLP yeah also by the review they seem nice..50mm drivers..thats alot more than standard 40
A beautiful channel. Thank you for your interesting thoughts:)
Omg I love your videos, thank you for making this ❤️
very well done videos keep it up
very nice review, got yourself a new sub.
Great video. Super helpful
Great video bro! I'm gutted to be honest though just got the artist 9's for ps4/ps5 and now I find out you can't use the DTS surround sound unless on PC? can't believe it
a few this u missed in your review. 1. distant of wireless, which i saw a video the arctis did up to 10 meter BUT sometimes lost connecting unless turned to keep connection. all mics can be adjusted in OBS.
amazing reviews!!! I have now watched several of your videos and you got a bright future ahead!!
Thank you! 👍👍
nice review dude
Great vid, keep it up
After watching what felt like every KZhead video on headsets, I settled on the V2 Pro and couldn't be happier with my choice. The sound is fantastic and the mic quality is great. Thanks for such a great review as this was the video that convinced me to go the Razer and I'm so happy I did.
glad I could help and thank you! 👍
Is there any way u can use razer V2 pro if ever u wanted to use it on phone? please answer back...
@@navihoe6095 I'm pretty sure they don't have bluetooth, so the only way would be with the audiojack connector into your phone.
so how is its durabilty? Are the wires on the side of the earcups intact? Does it loosen or break?
@@alperkorkmaz9831 They honestly still look like the day I got them. Nothing has loosened up and the ear cups still feel brand new. That's using them ~ 2 - 3 hours at a time 4 - 5 times a week
I must say where u said you havent heared the arcis 9 beack at the spot. i´m using the arctis pro edition at that broke at that exact spot. but i´m also not using a headphone standt and its over 2 years old, but i am considering getting the Razer Blackhark with a Stand
I bought Corsair Virtuoso but after a few hours of testing I decided to send it back. The comfort side of that headset was so bad, I didnt like the sound either. Microphone was really great and design of Virtuozo is by my opinion one of the best out there. Then I bought Blackshark V2 Pro and right know Im so happy to have them, they are the most comfortable headset I have ever tried. You have speech skills, charisma, knowledge about presented products, you are helping people out what to choose. I dont see any reason to not explode and become huge youtuber. Good luck to you sir and keep up the good job. :)

Great comparison 👍
legend! 👍👍
I was looking for this today and yes !! Best channel for tech recommends. 👏 comes to show you why these are the best headsets brands are the best ever created. 🙌🙌🙌 Razer will always be king for me. If the sharks headsets trend and had rgb this would be the greatest headset ever created.
Tbh i saw recently razer have put out good products, I myself have razer blackshark v2 x and pro. And it is true its very very very comfortable especially the X version. And from my experienced playing valorant with my friend which use steelseries artics9, i can say i am more precise on spotting where is the footsteps come from.
Just bought the V2 Pro! Coming from 3 year old Astro A50s. So far so good. The 7.1 is insane if you never experienced anything else like it like I have not.
does the 7.1 help in locating enemies?
so how is its durability? Are the wires on the side of the earcups intact? Does it loosen or break?
need a comparisson of budget wireless headsets like Cosair HS70, Astro 4 , arctis 1 wireless ...etc !
Thank you!
Can you do a review on the Arctic pro + gamedac?
Were you able to get the sidetone to work on the Razer? That's a necessity for me and is what's making me consider returning it and getting the Steelseries instead.
My Arctis 9 has been great for over a year and I loved how easy you can switch between PC to Ps5. I also love the fact that you can bluetooth the headset to your phone while playing on your console or computer which is very useful so your friends dont have to listen to what your listening to.
They have a shit mic thi
I've came to say that they are very weak and the hardware breaks easily over like half a year do I dont recommend it.
@@captain9304 bruh
@@dantestokes1693 If you want a good headset spend more to get the Steel series Artis Nova Pro its a lot better with all the original features and it is more durable
Very very good review
Is the dual bluetooth audio working well for the arctis 9?(or any other headset?), kinda interested in that kind of feature since using discord on my pc, and at the same time having sound from my console while playing with friends seems like optimal.
Can you do a review on steelseries arctis 7P?
If you can get your discount code to apply to amazon stores outside of the u.k. i'm sure many more of us would purchase through your code
Just a heads up about the Arctis 9's - yes, it has a chat mix button on them but this ONLY works with pc, not PS5. Even though they do work with the PS5 you won't be able to use the chat wmix wheel. To chnage the chat mix on PS5 you need to go into the settings on the console.
The chat mix button dose work on xbox series x i have arctis 9x
have you tackled the spacial audio on the blackshark? i dont know where it would fit in. i have yet to understand what it does
cheers for that
Super confused right now after all of these reviews and hearing the mic quality from both my V2 Pro and Arctis 7P. The Steel Series sound better than my Razer headset mic, with it sounding slightly like a radio transmitted mic or sumn and my Steel Series a little more cleaner in audio. Contemplating whether to sell my razer or not.
That exact spot of plastic you said you’d never seen break on the Steele series, is the reason I’m watching reviews to pick out a new headset. And I have Arctis pros 😭
@@deismic yep, same. Got a sweet deal on JBL quantum 800’s on prime day🤣
Great video 👍
Hey could you test/review the Razer Viper ultimate? Im considering it but i just need a well made review :D all the other reviews on the mouse are a bit biased towards it but i need a completly neutral review, thank you for reading! And i love your channel :D
Already started testing it. I'm trying to use the mouses for a month before giving the review. Video is about 4 weeks away.
@@ApplicableTech Oh wow! Thank you, i am looking forward to the Video :D
@@ApplicableTech I was just browsing through the comments and you're already amazing on the vids, but you reacting to comments like this definitely deserves a sub. You need more recognition, keep up the good work
@@dazedledzep3891 Thank you! 👍
You're going to be the next Linus tech tips, I swear. Great video!
Wow, thanks!
that guy's a clown!
He's not wrong Im currently binge watching your whole channel just like I did when I discovered ltt..... I could watch you and are watching you for hours... Great job man.
Hi there! I got the razer a couple of weeks ago, really enjoying them but had to tweak them to punch a bit the high frequencies as i found them with too much bass out of the box. Quick question, you mention potential firmware updates via the micro USB cable, how is that so the case? Does this happen when connecting the headset to the pc via the cable? (never have, until now all wireless an charging directly to a charger)
so how is its durability? Are the wires on the side of the earcups intact? Does it loosen or break?
random question but can the steelseries 9 be used via 3.5mm jack to xbox controller? (not worried about wireless)
which should I get? "mic matters" all are the same price range in my country... 1-Corsair HS60 pro 2-Blackshark V2 x 3-Cooler master mh650 4-Cooler master mh751 5-hyperx cloud core 7.1 with Love from Egypt ❤️ Keep it up!
I'm confused on the steel series is the 9 new than the pro wireless?
issue withg the artic is big design flaw 2nd headset after rma and its cracked again arund the swivel in the exact same spot and even more so now the left hand side has cracked alot headset still works but they need to change the design or add in metal parts
Hey there loving your videos, I really need help in deciding which headset to get, i'm torn between the arctis 9 and razer blackshark v2 pro, in terms of audio quality which one would you say is best? I want something that has immersive audio along with a nice amount of bass, I'm not too savvy when it comes to technical details with audio but i've heard the audio with the arctis 9 is hit and miss but the audio control panel where you can change it's presets does that help at all or should I look at getting the blackshark v2 pro?
personally i would sway toward the V2 pro's. they dont have bluetooth but sound far better and the mic quality is also better. hope this helps
@@ApplicableTech aw thanks for the response mate, much appreciated, I'll go for the razer V2 then are the presets on the arctis 9's not that good even if you can increase the bass? Or are the razer V2 pros just better all around?
Do either of them have separate mic volume dials?
What do you use as daily headset?
I'd like to see a Death Match between the Astro A50 and Audeze Penrose - both similarly overpriced. I wonder when the cost outweighs the benefit? Happy to spend more, if you get more.
What about white/static noise?
Arctis 5 or blackshark v2 plssssss help
Arctis 9 or Logitech g pro x wireless?
Thanks so much, I was thinking about getting the steel series as I have a steelseries and find them very comfortable, however after you saying you would recommend for on the go and mobile uses and the delay, I thought otherwise Also the Blackshark v2 Pro is cheaper than it, thanks so much!
This 2 models compared to the logitech g pro x wireless? I'm looking for a new headset but i cannot decide on this 3 models. (4 maybe, with the hyperx cloud alpha). Only for pc gaming.
I'm waiting on the G pro X wireless to arrive. the original G Pro X is an outstanding headset so I really want to get my hands on one.
Get the cloud 2's.
I was thinking between arctis 7 and v2s and I just ordered v2s. I hope I made the right desicion. In my country I got the v2s for 100€ so I think it is a good deal. P.S very well detailed video as always👍
he should review the new cloud 2 wireless
You nailed it for me. I just want my headset to be the best for gaming on PC and the Razer ticks all the boxes in that regard. I want to LOVE the Steelseries, but the mic is a dealbreaker for me and the audio is more "limited".
Did you experience any White Noise Problems with any of these two?
Make video on steelseries arctis pro wireless vs razer blackshark v2 pro please 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Which on is betterfor PS5? The 7P or 9? Price is not relevant. I heard the 9 is not fully compatible with tempest 3d audio?
Figure it out yet?? If so what you find out I’m curious
Hi! Can anyone help me in deciding between Steelseries artics 7p or the Razor Blackshark V2 or V2 Pro? I am really stuck
Neither. Cloud 2 wireless or normal cloud 2's.
I think that the USB receiver is actually too big, i mean it's possible to use a laptop (for pc probably ok) and it'll be just hanging on the side, and it's possible to just break it :(
Hey bro can you do the G pro x wireless vs razer blackshark v2 pro
will be doing. just trying to get my hands on a G pro X Wireless 👍
Wait you can use v2 for ps5?
So what is your go to headset these days?
why no comment on xbox compatibility?
Bro last year when i buy razer headset, many people say me a idiot buying trash brand. Lol today razer suddenly make a great product like viper mini and this headset
I'm going to buy the razer shark pro v2 I have the artic steel series pro wired and pro wireless I feel like the steel series head set don't pin point enemy's foot steps good enough for me
Let me chime in for him they are very comfortable and the sound on them are very good but let me use them a bit more and if you need any more info I got you
Did you buy it? so how is its durabilty? Are the wires on the side of the earcups intact? Does it loosen or break?
@@alperkorkmaz9831 very great head set I'll tell u more later I'm playing Scarlet nexus right
@@stanleesomanly9585 So how many hours does the battery run out?
I thought you were Jaime Lannister lol
I have both the blackshark v2 pro for my pc and the artix 9x for my XboxOne just wanted to hear what you had to say lol
So which do you prefer?
so how is v2 pro durabilty? Are the wires on the side of the earcups intact? Does it loosen or break?

Im using blackshark v2 pro right now is amazing but dont know if its really worth the price first headset i ever buy but its really comfy and amazing at spatial awarness
It is not. All of these "gaming" companies that make headsets are just mediocre at best for the price. You want to buy audio products by audio brands and keyboards from keyboard brans such as SteelSeries etc. Also about "spatial awareness". I don't think you know what that means. These gaming headsets have pretty bad imaging compared to similar prices from audio brands. The soundstage is very closed in and you've got Razer's "TRIFORCE DRIVER" which is just marketing bullshit.
@@tigerleon10 What wireless headphone at this price range do you recommend then
@@hamud7708 The only wireless headphone I ever recommend is the hyperX cloud flight or flight S. Best wireless out there.
@@tigerleon10 Oh ok. And between Cloud Flight S and Blackshark V2 Pro which would you pick? Seeing as they're both gaming brands.
@@hamud7708 Both are gaming brands one is a piece of plastic garbage with no good sound at all. Get the HyperX.
I am so inclined.
