mic mute button in this area
small wires could easily catch on something and potentially get damaged
the sound was muddy and it was difficult to hear where enemies
lose some clarity in the highs
little green wires that come out the top and connect to the headband
falling on the side of wired
no lights
bulky headphones
lacking loudness in particularly bass-laden tracks
it s still a little clunky
Slack notifications pinged over my speakers multiple times
V2 s microphone can t match its audio output and isolation
Bass delivery can vary and a drop in bass
No cherry-picked units sent by brands
Inconsistent bass and treble delivery
neon green audio cable can snag on something
block out any bass-range noise like bus or train engines
focus on the price
this model is overpriced
the design feels fragile
mute button sounded like a tiny thump in my audio
the exposed wire feels like it could get caught on something and torn
sequences are actually a little scarier with surround sound on
little muffling on the high end out of the box
Sometimes it bleeds into real life
it lacks the ability to be able to customise mic controls
maybe still a little bulky)
lack of the THX spatial audio technology
lack of Razer Synapse support which severely cripples its customization options
forked metal hinges are thin and flimsy not
The exposed cord is also dangerous as it could easily get hooked on to
lot more rigid and not exactly pleasant to the touch
it works only with Windows 10 PCs
headset is its permanently attached cable
the earcups are held in place with adjustable metal bars
the software is a little hard to navigate
the mic is not removable
feature-rich and a little convoluted
obnoxious that you can choose only one THX profile per application
BlackShark V2 s USB Sound Card
m typically not a fan of virtual surround sound and spatial audio setups
bass-hefty and darker
block out any bass-range sound like a tour bus or train engines
darkish and deeper bass-weighty noise profile

doesn't quite deliver skull-shaking bass
is missing when playing on a console
little noise leaks out from the closed-back headset itself
this model is worse
Headphones do not emit unnecessary sounds either in the hands or on the head
Console support is a bit wonky
lack of RGB lighting also helps keep costs down
The list of supported games is still a bit limited at the moment
part of the headset feels cheap or flimsy
the USB Sound Card is only compatible with Windows 10 PCs
