Review on 🎧 Razer BlackShark V2 Gaming Headset: THX 7.1 Spatial Surround Sound with 50mm Drivers by Matt Sirmons

TLDR: So far so good! I only used them for a few hours but set up was easy and I still love the product. I've been a little disappointed over the past few years when I've spent a lot of money on wireless headphones. I won't name any brand names, but even well-analyzed devices have had no luck for me. I spent a lot of time reading reviews and figuring out how much to spend and what would be both easy to use and sound really good. I think my search was worth it because that's exactly what I got with this product. I just started using BlacksharkV2 Pro but for one. The setup is actually as easy as advertised. I charged the device according to the instructions. Plug the wireless dongle into my laptop's USB3.0 hub. The software simply installed itself. I didn't have to rack my brains to tweak the windows settings, everything just did what the instructions said. It was easy to follow them. I'm not a computer expert and the software is very intuitive. It automatically detects when a device is connected and you can adjust settings on the fly. And there are NOT TOO many complicated settings to adjust. So maybe expert level users will be disabled. But for me it's "just right". just enough to keep me satisfied with the settings I'd expect from a high-end product, but not so much that it's difficult to use. I booted up Madden, played around with the settings for about 5 minutes, and played from there. As for the settings. I knew what I was measuring and what I didn't know was explained right there in the software. I am so impressed with the software that I am considering using this brand for other devices. These are first impressions, but the sound quality is quite good. I'm not a fan of sound, but the quality exceeds expectations, especially after playing around with the settings. Functionality is fine. With wireless headphones, I expect the controls to be on the headset itself. That means the buttons are inherently small and tight, but this design is about as comfortable as I think it could be. The mute button has a nice feel and is easy to press. The volume control is easy to find on the head. The advertised features work well and have not let me down. The only thing that worries me is that I had problems with the detachable microphone. I turned my mic output full and it's STILL a quiet touch of disharmony for my teammates. I had some trouble getting the position right, but once I did I found the quality acceptable. The actual mic-to-headset connection isn't that solid, so it took some fiddling at first, but I've had no issues since positioning it the way I like it. The downside is that it kind of defeats the purpose of using a detachable mic when the setup is so awkward that it just has to be ONLY CORRECT every time. I'm always worried about devices like headphones that don't look like they do in a photo. These cans are as smooth as I expected. No wonder I have stupid flashing lights like my last pair. They are nice and comfortable on my head. For me, it's the perfect balance of snuggling up against your head and moving around a bit without putting too much uncomfortable pressure on it.
