BadSeed does it again kept me watching an entire review for a product category I have zero need for. I think that was the first time I didn't skip an ad too. Solid review, solid ad.
This is by far the most thorough review I have seen on these headsets! A missed opportunity was to give a recommendation for a budget headset for distance learning. We bought the V2 X after seeing the review from Hardware Canucks and randomfrankp, and my daughter’s classmates say her voice sounds strong, clear, and natural. But most importantly, she says they are comfortable to wear all day for school.
Thanks and wow, that’s honestly interesting. Not having kids, I hadn’t made the connection about the distance learning aspect. This may open up some content. Feel like there is probably more demand for that kind of info than there is supply rn. Appreciate you taking the time.
man this is why you're my favorite tech reviewer. just honest and straightforward, you always genuinely seem like you care about enthusiasts and want us to have the best gear possible. mad respect
My man Bryan P. 1:41 in and I liked the video. I rarely "like" tech videos. But that first 2min reminded me of why I sub. Your Ethos and considerable integrity should be a model for all reviewers and critics. Gaming branded gear, let alone tech in general, is designed to drive excitement. I think that is a huge factor in why I almost always feel like I am being sold to from other reviewers. Not BadSeedTech. I applaud you. Crossing my fingers that major peripheral companies start considering and investing more in community feedback so we can see you rise even higher!
im at 1:30. completely new channel to me, very first video Im watching from you and what you said is 1000% what i like to hear. deserves a sub from that small context. cheers bro
I bought the V2 a week ago. I had already downloaded the THX synapse trial a month or so earlier and tried it with my SteelSeries Arctis 5 and absolutely hated any sound I was able to produce with the THX Digital Surround Sound. The implementation in the Blackshark v2 is totally different. I actually kinda chuckled and said "holy shit" when I heard how good Modern Warfare sounded to me with the Auto THX preset in Synapse selected. No lie, the comfort is top notch too. No "new headset placebo" feeling, these are extremely comfortable. The mic is okay at best, though. When my wife joined a Discord call with me, she said "Your voice sounds muddy as fuck". That was with default settings selected. I turned Mic volume up to 100 in Synapse and she said "Okay, that's much better, but the mic definitely lacks bass compared to your last headset" so take that for what it's worth. All in all, I recommend them with a 9 out of 10 personal rating.
Yeah, 100% on both. I’m openly biased about sim surround and I had to eat crow on this one. I think the mic aggravates me bc the hardware seems good (acceptable for what it is) and all the unnecessary Synapse processing seems to do way more harm than good.
Hello....i have question for yours opinion to make best decision for buying.... So you have SteelSeries Arctis 5, you buy V2....What is better choice out of the box all around? ...or maybe new SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3?Or.... Thanks for answer! 🙏😉
Thank you for including the CoolerMaster 752 as comparisons. As great as these Razer headsets are, I think CM are still top dog in the $100 category with the 751/752's.
I have buddies who work from home and need headsets that sound good for regular content, ie: not a gaming sound, but also headsets that sound full and immersive in game. This headset has been my new recommendation (not budget, just recommendation) for a gaming headset, and your video, as always, is a beautiful essay why, narrated by a beautiful, bearded, smooth balled assassin with golden pipes. I’m going to stop going into my whole lecture nonsense about why this and why not that, and I’m just going to forward this joint to my buddies and tell them to subscribe. My own setup is the HE-4xx on the sound blaster dac you recommended. You’re the man.
hey bro, i wanna get the V2 X, but people keep saying razer stuff breaks easily and fast even when you care about them and even within months, so i'm really some how worried hope you share your knowledge about this factor if you can
I just purchased the X like 10 minutes for this video dropped. Then I panicked and feared buyers remorse once I saw the title. Thanks for putting my fears to rest. Another great review job!
bro how is it going with you durability and longevity wise ? had any problems with it ? and if so after how much time ? i wanna get the V2 X, but people keep saying razer stuff breaks easily and fast even when you care about them and even within months, so i'm really some how worried hope you share your experience with it
Man I've been watching you for awhile and I am finally gonna subscribe. You've been pushing out great content for as long as I've known you've existed. You deserve it man :)
Hey BadSeed, I really trust your judgement. So I'm looking to drop my Razer Nari Essential because although it has the comfort of being wireless, I rather have a wired headset with better sound. I was looking very closely to those Fnatic React, but now with this review, I want to ask you would you pick these Blacksharks over the React? Sorry if that's what you meant with the statement at the end! But I just want to make sure.

Dunno how you do it man, but the sponsor ad was nailed to the max, word for word. You're a national treasure my friend, keep the vids coming. - Big fan, from Canada
I'm using the MH752 for 16 days now and I love them. Extremely comfortable, they just disappear on your head. Sound very good once you turn the bass almost all the way up in the equalizer
just found u after searching up the keyboard i bought :D the ck530, they havent arrived yet but i think i made the right choice thanks man, btw ur so underrated!
I still rock my MH752 on trips as a great balanced music headphone. Take the mic off and no one can tell it's a gaming headphone. It's cheaper too, so I would definitely still pick it up over the Razer Blackshark.
Again a great video , i hope you will answer for this , which one would you recommend to buy ? The V2 , V2x or fnatic react watched all videos but cant decide :) Mostly i play warzone .Thank you
Very nice review. I have already subscribed. Now, I just have one question as I have purchased Blackshark V2. With given usb sound card it sounds very good (I mean really good! Even better than "Dolby Atmos for headphones" enabled in "Dolby Atmos" supported movies in Netflix) in games and movies. So, if replace the usb sound card with Sound BlasterX , will the quality and surround sound effects in games and movies get any better?
The updated list for place it's a nice detail, will you continue applying in the next review? Ps: where is the pc37x? I think this one is the one to beat.
Man... I swear the way he delivers his one liners... they have me laughing every time. There's something special about a big bearded dude cracking a joke with a serious face that is so hilarious to me. Sincerely, a dude with a substantial beard as well.
Great review! Looking for a new headset for PS5 with good sound and mic quality, was going for the Blackshark V2 X but the mic quality on that Fnatic React was too good to ignore and has me torn on which one to get.
Do you think there better than Logitech pro x? Also please do a review on Astro a40 with its mixamp! I love to see what your take on the surround sound will be...👍 awesome content
What headset would you recommend as someone trying to move on from my aging HyperX Cloud 2's? The Blackshark V2s or Cooler Master MH752? I used my Clouds for everything, not just gaming, but for music too.
It's surprising how bad the USB Sound Card that comes with the Blackshark V2 is, especially after using a Kraken Tournament Edition. The USB Audio Controller, the sound card that comes with the Kraken Tournament Edition is actually really good, much better mic sound (and way better sidetone more importantly). Why Razer doesn't sell the Audio Controller as a standalone or at least include it with the Blackshark, however is a mystery.
I got the Cooler Master based on your reviews and man, I'm stoked! These are the best headphone ever, I use them all day long for work, game, music, movies.... everything! and the mic, god, I have a horrible raspy, deep and low volume voice and this mic has actually helped me to get clear audio in my work calls thank you!!
@@badseedtech total game changer, I have tried different headsets over the years and always had issues with the mics but needed to have a solution that could take to the office and home (so a dedicated mic didn't cut it). Thanks!!
Ive been looking for a new headset and I'm thinking of going with earbuds, I'll watch this headset review and maybe I'll go with these, maybe I'll go with earbuds. Right now I use the Razer Kraken Tournie edition, I may cop one of these 2 headsets and for like 40$ get some hyper x earbuds, idk tho might just go with the new Razer headset the high end one
Hei brian. I'm confused to choose between hyperx cloud 2 and logitech g pro (not X). Are cloud 2 better than g pro or what? Coz u picked cloud 2 than cloud alpha. Thank you, i hope u answer this 🙏🙏🙏
I really enjoyed your review. I just got to know you, but I'm rooting for you because I think there are so many good reviews. I want to ask a professional like you. Did you follow the EQ setting when you used BlackShark V2 for FPS games? If you have, could you share it with me?
the difference between the mic performance for the V2 with and without the dongle is crazy. one’s buttery smooth while the dongle on one sounds like it got a muff over it and sounds digital
Hey Brian, would you recommend getting the V2 or V2 X to use with a GSX 1000? I don't mind spending the extra bucks for the V2 if it's worth it. Thanks in advance, love the channel!
I’m trying to decide between hyper cloud 2 and the v2/v2x on what’s best for directional movement on fps for ps4. I’m not sure if these are even the best so if they are which would you go with or do you have any other recommendations for what I’d like to get?
I'm looking into changing to a microphone and headphones, but i'm really like lost in the whole which to get, and how they work in a sense. I've watched several of your videos but i'm always lost. if I had a budget of let's say 200, what should I get? Not sure if there is like a certain budget combo like pc builds (entry, mid, high end)
Manscaped Badseed. First the glarses collab, now this one? I feel so blessed.

Great transition And smoother than 240 Fps
this music is freaking great with this! Finally a video that actually pumps me up! hahaha thank you badseed!

What’s the headphone you personally use gaming? Still sporting the good ole Dt770?
best sponsor ad i have ever seen lmao
Great vid as always. Please review JBL Quantum Headset lines! 300 or 400.
The music is so on point
I hate sponsored content most of the time but, damn, that was entertaining and this video is worth it for that alone (rest is good too though).
You should try blueberries in a cherry housing with the blueberry spring. It's apparently very interesting in terms of tactility.
what about the cooler master MH630 - 650 -670 range? How do they compare with these? Aren't they part of this market price range?
hi Brian P! any turtlebeach headset reviews?
Hey man, GSP 300 has a little lower price than V2x in my area, would you recommend grabbing gsp or still go for V2x in 2020. Thanks in advance
Maybe I’m dumb but I couldn’t find the non gaming headphones you recommended around 0:53 seconds, since I have a stand alone mic already
I'm looking into changing to a microphone and headphones, but i'm really like lost in the whole which to get, and how they work in a sense. I've watched several of your videos but i'm always lost. if I had a budget of let's say 200, what should I get?
Not sure if there is like a certain budget combo like pc builds (entry, mid, high end)
i wish one day you will review cooler master mh650 too. it may be a bit rare item for now but i heard so many people said it even better than mh752.
