Wow, the Blackshark microphone does sound much clearer than the Nova. Thankyou, great video. Still need to look at the other top contenders before I spend silly-money on a great headset.

ok i am 0:24s into the video, and you hit the nail - i am currently wearing creaky nova 7, and i started to look for other headphones because of that

4:24 Is it like the 9/9x where you just tap power button once while on & get a preset number beep to cycle? I have 2 9x headsets for wireless. And a blackshark v2 wired usb version hooked into a nova pro dac for wired. I have a nova 7x coming. I like the headsets and setup I have, just want another headset lol. I just put a new battery in one of my 9x headsets. I like that on the nova 7, you have the option to fully use it wired. On my 9x, the mic is disabled running wired. I use wicked cushions freeze pads on all mine.

Nice video dude. Now the same please with the Inzone H9 from Sony vs. Pro X2 Lightspeed from Logitech G. I am waiting for it! I let you a thumbs up for this video.

7:30 coming from dt770 i really enjoyed nova 7 sound, and found the amount of bass just perfect, not too muddy, not too shallow, but for gaming i really enjoy those big low freq explosions, had one pair of cheap 50$ headphones that were unpleasatly muddy in music, but turned these call of duty gunshots to another level, cant wait for blacksharks to arrive

Pretty much nailed it spot on with the nova 7. I got mine specifically for the mid/high ranges the headphones were built for to run games like Destiny. I can hear every tiny explosion in full clarity against a whole barrage. On the contrary, because it can handle all those sounds at once, you’ll be hearing them all at once lol. Very immersive audio, and once you have the fit dialed in, they sit really well. The ear cuff enclosure could be more sturdy since you can hear the speaker foam crunching from the slightest bump but they definitely do not feel like cheap material overall. Retractable mic is a solid plus and the game/chat mixer is really neat feature. Sonar kinda sucks to use tho, I wish the software were better and I didn’t even know how drastically different the mic quality between the two is until now.

Did you have the opportunity to try the Arctic nova pro wireless ? It's the one with swappable batteries. How would you compare it to the black shark ? My old black shark battery doesn't last that long anymore and I need to do a refresh ... But very hard to chose

thanks for the video, hopefully my comments will boost this video a tiny bit

Good review, I personally decided to go with the Blackshark V2 Pro’s!

nice review man, I just switched from my arctis 7 2019 to blackshark v2 pro 2023, was wondering if I should have switched to nova instead. I'm glad I didn't.

With the black sharks can you use the audio presets to remove bass? because I would like if was geared more to a fps style.

I just get myself a Razer Blackshark v2 pro 2023 after watching multiple reviews, including this video. It is meant to replace my sony wh-1000xm3 + boom mic. For overall playing game experience, its good, i am happy for going to wireless headphone and the microphone sound so good. The pinpoint location on CS2 is better than the XM3, BUT for what i hear and experience, i feel the Blackshark V2 pro 2023 sound is considered thin compared to the XM3. I do not know why all the reviewers say that tha bass is overwhelmed on it, but for me, its lack of it, i cant say which part of the bass because i am not expert, but when A/B-ing with the XM3, I really feel that the XM3 sound does have more body, and the v2pro2023 feels so thin. But overall I still can appreciate this headset for my gaming in CS2.

2:43 lack of clamping!! yes, exactly - i had the same issue, i couldnt write properly on desk because novas would fell off easily

I had nova 7 for 2 weeks and sold it, the sound is not good (muffled) vs a normal wired headphone from sennheisser, and based on your video it sounds more or less the same with blackshark, how about maxwell?

Thank you for the great review. Im thinking of getting the razers for my ps5. I want the eq setting for fortnite. Does the eq button on the right ear cycle thru all the game eq settings too? Or just the movie and music presets? Thank You!!

Should i get the Nova 7 which is $140 or should i go for the older black sharks v2 pros 2020 $120????

Yooo dude nice vid

Hello, what would you prefer between the Steelseries Arctis Nova 7's or the HyperX Cloud 3 wireless? I play on console and mostly play Call of Duty, Destiny, Fortnite, Minecraft.

Hate my blackshark, second pair I’m on and the sound is horrible. Makes a crackling sound and one ear piece works intermittently.. looking at the artics but now not sure what I should be looking at.

so as someone that has trouble choosing between the two, your winner is?

Im the only person that found the blackshark uncomfortable ps i wear glasses🤓 plus the sound was inconsistent at times for me and the build of the headset can differ when i got the v2 the lil wires connecting the headset was stretched so much they snapped so big heads beware 😂

Which is better for music?

Blackshark V2 Pro Microphone is AMAZING. I think only the Astro A50 microphone beats it in the wireless headset class.

5:40 i am looking for a headset that will get me through all of my work meetings during the day, and gaming sessions at night - mic quality of blackshark is really exceptional, especially compared to the dogshit logitech serves at even higher price point

I've been fiddling with settings for hours and downloading all sorts of third party programs and restarting my PC in an ultimately futile attempt to get the Arctis Pro to not sound like muddy garbage. Very happy with my 250$ upgrade over my 4 year old 100$ Razer headset that I bought on a whim. Big thanks to every moron who was paid to say good things about Steelseries who convinced me to ask for this for Christmas.

Name headsets are better than the blackshark v2 pro 2023 for ps5

sounds like that cause you have the crappy spatial setting on lol....-

Nice review, BUT you have to put just 1-2 consecutive seconds without talking. Edit is so annoying
