Razer BlackShark V2 Hyperspeed vs HyperX Cloud III Wireless

Күн бұрын

For 130 dollars, the BlackShark V2 Hyperspeed is pretty hard to beat in my book. They’re lightweight, they sound great, they have quite possibly the best microphone on a gaming headset, and they have Bluetooth functionality. I thought they were being over-hyped and over-promoted by various reviewers, but I honestly believe they deserve the praise at this point. Even though I love the Cloud III’s and think they’re a great headset, I don’t know how or why I would argue they are a better purchase than the BlackShark V2 Hyperspeed at this price point.
Pros:
Audio is solid, but requires a decent amount of tweaking to get perfect.
Lightweight and comfortable.
Microphone is probably top in class at this price point. Friends in Discord said it was as good as the PC38x.
Mids:
Bluetooth + Game works, but it’s a little wonky at times. Double pressing the right earcup button is what swaps it.
Software can be really annoying to use. Synapse is bloatware painted green.
Mic monitoring isn’t great. Sounds really weird, but also produces non-stop audible static.
Lows:
Microphone isn’t detachable.
No mute indication of any kind.
No simple USB dongle.
Blackshark V2 Hyperspeed - $129
HyperX Cloud III - $129

I find your videos valuable due to your honesty. No glossing over important details makes recommending products all the easier.

Thanks for a detailed and a practical video. I was so confused looking and all the reviews and reading Rtings and other reviews. I work on multiple computers and ability to use this on both at a time, one with dongle and other with BT is huge thing for me. Also I already have Razer DA V2 Pro (due to same ability to switch to BT and 2.4) I don't have to download another piece of software as I already have use synapse. Though only one thing I don't like about this headset is they lack detachable mic and it can't be flipped out of my face when I don't want it.

Appreciate the no nonsense review of these headsets. Strange but in europe I haven't seen PC38X in stock for a long time.

I think the EPOS shutdown is going to make them difficult to get your hands on. Pardon my ignorance, but are you able to order them from the Drop website? Or do they not ship overseas / the cost is insane? drop.com/buy/drop-epos-pc38x-yellow-gaming-headset

@@MercuryTV oh thanks I had only checked the usualplaces but this price is reasonable at $134 inc shipping. I just hope they fit me as shipping back to the states would be a hassle.

I'm using a HyperX Cloud 2 (wired) for years and I see your points, but as a competitive gamer the Cloud 2 was for me always unbeatable in competitive gaming - I hear for example steps so much earlier what saved me in so many rounds... maybe next time you can test a gaming setting with a game like Hunt Showdown, Rainbow6Siege or Tarkov

Honestly, i like the sound of the clouds mic after the swap to 3200khz, very clear, blacksharks mic doesn't sound as clear and you can hear robotic like compression if you listen close. I have the blackshark shark v2 pro 2023 and mic is much better, but i get it...its more! The battery is insane on the clouds also.

I heard the out-of-box tuning/eq for the Cloud 3s are a lot better while the Blackshark V2 are muddy. I owned the budget V2X and hated it, the Cloud 3 are slightly worse than the Alpha Wired, which is miles ahead of the V2X. Also r u going to review the logitech x astro headset in the background?

@MercuryTV Ай бұрын

My take is that you pretty much have to mess with the EQ settings for the Blackshark out of the box while I honestly didn’t touch the tuning for the Cloud IIIs for a very long time. Neither hold a candle to the audio from the Pro X 2s I reviewed a few weeks ago. And yes I plan on doing a review and comparison of those A50x’s you saw in the background. WAAAAAAAAY OVERPRICED even if they are pretty nice.

How is the mic noise cancellation on the Blackshark V2? I would really appreciate the input, I'm trying to find a wireless headset with a good mic and sound quality, but WITHOUT or with bad noise cancelling, girlfriend likes hearing me typing when i'm not talking much over the mic. Thanks man!

I have Blackshark V2 pro 2023, mic and sound are very good, but build quality is awful. Plastic hinge above the earcups cracked 3 times already (want to admit I'm very careful with headset). And as I can see on Reddit and etc. it's not a single issue. So now I'm waiting for cloud 3 (hope build quality for hyperx on the same level as cloud 2), so will see. Thanks for this comparison.

Is it possible to use Cloud 3 while charging? (i know the cable is short, but i could just another cable)

@MercuryTV 20 күн бұрын

Just tried myself - yes you can, but I got pretty significant static interference while doing so. However, I found out that was due to the mic being so close to the USB cable. Once I muted the mic the static went away.

I'm considering either one of those two, im gaming and im working as well from home. I'm not sure will hyperx cloud 3 wireless suit enough for work from home in call center or maybe better option to go with razer then.

@MercuryTV 6 күн бұрын

I won’t lie, for work calls I like the Cloud IIIs because the mic monitoring/ side tone is more prominent.

HyperX really messed up with these Cloud 3. Listening to music with them is an horrible experience. My $40 Logitech headset sounded better.

@MercuryTV Ай бұрын

I think their biggest sin is the price point they’re competing at. Cloud IIIs should be under 100 IMO. At 130-150 most other options offer significantly more in terms of features with on par or better audio and comfort.
