I almost bought the 2020 version today, I stoped to check the version right at the cash register and unfortunately the one i was about to purchase was the 2020 version. Ive tried googling multiple times to see the differences and was thinking of going back to buy em nonetheless but thanks to your video i will definitely get the 2023 version. Thanks so much for the compact ASMR type review and comparison
How are they holding up? I've seen lots of reviews saying they're cheaply built and break within a year. I've also heard support is a pain to go through, to the point where it seems that they don't want you to get a refund.
This was exactly the level of review I was looking for. No joke I was just about to grab the 2020 it was in my cart and was just thinking... I should look for a decent review to see what the big difference is. That bluetooth is something I actually need and thought was available in the 2020 version, which was conveniently not mentioned in the product description of where I was going to purchase it. It was also half the price so that raised a few flags. Thank you for this review. Just subscribed and will be watching some of the other videos you have here.
Small correction to this video, you can remove the ear cups, at least on the 2020 versio you can. You can actually buy aftermarket ear pads for the 2020 version. I recently changed the ear pads on mine.
I bought the 2020 version last night by mistake. Ordered the 2023 version just now. I hope the earphones are more impressive than the labeling of their products.
I still have my 2020 Blackshark V2's as my go-to over ear wireless gaming headphones because they are super comfortable, although during summer I usually stick to earbuds so my head has minimum heating.
I am on the point to buy but I need help. What is the difference between blackshark v2 pro 2023 normal edition and ps5 edition? They both seem to work on PS5.
My battery life of the 2020 edition is shot. It seems to last only a few hours now before needing recharged/beeping at me. I believe I've only had this headset about 2 years. I'm thinking of upgrading to the 2023 edition. I'm wondering if the battery quality will last longer since it's usb c vs micro usb? What are the proper charging methods to get the most of your headset battery health before it degrades? Thanks for all the easy to understand and well shot videos. I've followed your build guides and things for corsair products and i love the content. Keep it up!
What do you do when ear cushions are worn/ damaged and you need to swap them? Also wanted to ask if you had any problem with white silent noise( people complain a lot, but with similar names its impossible to check if they talk about v1 or v2 2023) Thanks.
Other people said that white noise can be fixed with a firmware update. The only time I experienced it was with side tone turned on and the volume of that set too high.
@@TheProvokedPrawn YESS ! Got them, no white noise at all, amazing headphones. Since I owned the g pro x 2 2023 , I must say it was good choice returning them. Razer is the goat this year . ( my main use of headphones is gaming and surround sound, that's why I say these are better. Logitech g pro X2 lack surround sound, so this was my best choice)
I've had the 2020 version since it released. A little while ago the ear cups started peeling off and I had to super glue them back. I eventually decided it was time for an upgrade so I bought that HyperX Cloud one everyone recommends and I absolutely hate it. It sounds terrible and it's rather uncomfortable. The only thing I do like more about it than the Blackshark V2 Pro is that the charging port is USB C, which means it's faster at charging and I can actually use the headset and charge it at the same time. Because with the Blackshark and its micro usb port, the port is really fidgety and the cable won't stay plugged in, unless left completely still. I don't know if that was a manufacturing error, but it bothered for years. Fast forward to today and I'm getting fed up with the HyperX headset and since I can't find anything else that's good enough, I figured I may as well get this 2023 version, as it addresses most of my issues with the 2020 version, even if it exceeds my budget. I'm hoping it might go on sale around Christmas time, so I can get it a decent price. And since I loved the audio quality of the 2020 version so much, I figured I can't go wrong with this updated version, so I'm willing to pay the premium. Excellent video by the way!
My friend! Thank you so much for explanation. I was just looking how to determine the type 2020 or 2023 by the box. In your video I got that it could be done by "Bluetooth" logo 👍🤝
I found it actually is possible to change the earcups, so that's a big plus imo. ua-cam.com/video/qh8A_ChOyVM/v-deo.html Well they say non 2023 version but I think they're just talking about their earcushions and not about that they are not removable.
I've been using a soundbar but I think I need to get a headset. I'm tired of the enemy sneaking up on me since It’s hard to tell the direction of the foot steps
I'm planning to buy 1 of this but I don't know that should I bought the 2020 version with lower price or 2023 version with higher price and only upgrade a bit from the old version. Anyone can help me which one should I choose?
biggest differences are the battery, charging and mic. if you dont mind micro usb charging, dont use the headset mic, and charge it overnight, the 2020 is perfectly fine as the audio is the exact same. If the headset mic is important to you, u prefer USB-C charging, and want triple the battery life, go with the 2023. Outside of those changes, they are pretty much the exact same headset.
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
Hi recently i bought Razer BlackShark V2 Pro 2023 Edition im not sure but is this headset only has bluetooth connect? has anyone idea there is a usb cabel i plugged in headset and pc but that doenst work when i plug in usb stick headset works
Idk if I can trust a review that said the mic on the original one was good 😂 it was so bad. I was using a roccat khan aimo before which I got for half the price of the 2020 razer and that mic was 10x better. I was so upset at the mic that I got a Shure Mic
Looks cheap maybe, but I didn't hear any comparison about mic quality. Blackshark v2 pro 2020 & 2023 easily beat the g pro x. I was thinking about going with logitech but considering the major downside and price difference razer is superior.

A calm ASMR review style is so underrated. Everyone else is just _screaming_ with high energy lol
I accidently bought today the 2020 verdion😅😅
I bought the 2020 version accidentally, but the only thing i regret is Bluetooth 😢

is there any delay? how the quality rn?

What did you do with the 2020 version? I made the same mistake..
I still have my 2020 Blackshark V2's as my go-to over ear wireless gaming headphones because they are super comfortable, although during summer I usually stick to earbuds so my head has minimum heating.
i bought the 2020 one just now for 75 bucks. i just couldnt resist it for that price and the 3.5 jack is a big plus for me
The fact you can change you ear piece cushions on the 2020 version and not the 2023 is a big deal
damn your voice came from that mic? that is goooood
I need an advice the BlackShark V2 PRO (2020) is only 10 bucks more expensive than the Barracuda x 2022 which one to choose ?
The ear pads are removable. Wicked Cushions make replacement for the older model and are working on making some for the new blackshark.
2:12 Mind blown.
these are studio level quality for a wireless gaming headset. Wish I could find them cheaper.
Can you compare with the Corsair HS80 Wireless? I really wonder which microphone sounds better
I am on the point to buy but I need help.
What is the difference between blackshark v2 pro 2023 normal edition and ps5 edition?
They both seem to work on PS5.
This is a good help, because you might accidentally purchase the older version. The BLUETOOTH logo on the box would be noted. Subcribed here! Cheers!!
👍
i already accidentally purchase the old one lol
Which better blackshark v2 hyperspeed , blackshark v2 pro 2020 or steelseries artics nova 5?
Is there any difference in ps5-usage? As in, do the synapse settings transfer to ps5 unlike the 2020 version?
Great vid great UA-camr great content keep it up 👍🏻
Thanks, will do!
Any Physical Appearance from the 2020 Versions?

Just don't charge it to a 100%, keep it at 80 and don't let it go below 20.

They can be changed. Wicked cushions has one for the 2020 edition but haven't said about making one for the 2023 edition just yet

I am getting 2020 model at half price of 2023, is it worth it at that price ?

Excellent video by the way!
I bought it yesterday. Everything good but there are some noise in the background suddenly. And it is quiet loud.
My friend! Thank you so much for explanation. I was just looking how to determine the type 2020 or 2023 by the box. In your video I got that it could be done by "Bluetooth" logo 👍🤝
Glad I could help!
Can you use the 2020 dongle with the 2023 version? MY 2023 dongle broke and all i could find was the 2020's on the internet
hey mate, do the ear pads make any noises on your glasses? Nothing pisses me off more about headphones/headsets than that goddamn noise.
what this new 2023 version vs. the barracuda pro
I bought the 2020 version for 299 long ago, today I found the 2023 on clearance at walmart for 49 dollars
No way where are you located ? lol I’d pay you around 70 if ur willing to ship 🤣
did the fix the white noise with the firmware update in 2023 edition?
Didn't for me personally
Should people who get this not update the firmware to avoid white noise?
I weep. Bluetooth and the mic is just... I missed it!
I found it actually is possible to change the earcups, so that's a big plus imo.

they sell aftermarket ear cups for 2020 and 2023 tho , do i even buy them your sure they dont come off???
They do apparently. I was just incompetent
@@TheProvokedPrawn no ur not! just wanted to double check, ended up ordering the 2020 v2 pros and some wicked cusions cant wait to test them out
Can i use it for mobile gaming using wireless or there is delay?
you want to use a 200 $ headset for mobile gaming?
@@Spimped yes no problem brother 🙋♂️

@@HunterAMTV thank you for answering this. I’m decide to take the 2023 version because of battery, mic and bluetooth connection
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
Yes
correction: cushioningis are removable
Hi recently i bought Razer BlackShark V2 Pro 2023 Edition im not sure but is this headset only has bluetooth connect?
has anyone idea there is a usb cabel i plugged in headset and pc but that doenst work
when i plug in usb stick headset works
Cable is ONLY for charging. It either has to be connected via the wireless dongle or via on-board Bluetooth
Wish this video existed before I bought the wrong thing
sorry I let you down
@@TheProvokedPrawn Mistakes happen, glad you made a video about it so others don’t do the same ignorant thing I did
Which one did you regret buying?
Edit: now that the 2020 is $119.99 vs the 2023 version at $199.99.
Why no mic test?
Alas I don't have the original to be able to compare the mic anymore but you can hear them both in the reviews
I BOUGHT THE WRONG DAMN ONE
Idk if I can trust a review that said the mic on the original one was good 😂 it was so bad. I was using a roccat khan aimo before which I got for half the price of the 2020 razer and that mic was 10x better. I was so upset at the mic that I got a Shure Mic
thx for your video if can add the arabic lang
what a terrible naming convention
Yup
This looks cheap sht compared to the new g pro x 2.
how are they? i have the g pro wired... i heard the g pro x 2 were overrated... but i liked my wired ones and was thinking about upgrading
Looks cheap maybe, but I didn't hear any comparison about mic quality. Blackshark v2 pro 2020 & 2023 easily beat the g pro x. I was thinking about going with logitech but considering the major downside and price difference razer is superior.
Plenty of videos swapping the ear pads on both.
