Yes there is. I talk a decent amount about it in the features and functions section

I understand the app is still experimental but from what you can tell will you be able to connect existing Blacksharks to the new app? I just bought my pair late last year ive been using on my PS5 and really enjoying but if theyre not able to connect to the app thats a bit disappointing.

Hey Techne what would be your recommendation for someone who only plays solo RPG and story driven games?

Yeah mine broke in the same spot you were showing. I got ahold of razer and they replaced mine with a brand new headset. I was just putting mine on my head and it just snapped. Was so weird.

Can you do a top 5 simultaneously connected headset

I don't understand why you didn't record your voice through your PC while tweaking the settings in the app. Do the settings only apply to the phone??

What app is it, will it work with the 2023 version?

Hi! Is there any function to listen to yourself while you are talking? On SteelSeries 7p+ they have this, and it is so good for me

Is it only the console versions that work with the app for changing eq settings?

Does this type-C dongle and normal V2 Pro work with Macbooks…?

Does synapse recognize this if you use it on pc?

Which one is better the Razer v2 pro console edition or SteelSeries arctic nova pro wired. I play on both PC and Xbox

I have the 2023 version and I get a lot of connection issues like cut outs and robot sounding audio. I’ve tried everything to fix it and never got better. How are these as far as connectivity?

Could you recommend a headset which is lightweight and has simultaneous connection? And not Steelseries😢

Does the mic catch alot of background noise. When i game i have a fan running most of the time.

I usually dont like wicked cushions. But its a must have for this headset imo. They are so comfortable once you get the WC ear pads

Hi, quick question about the PS5 version: are the eq AND mic settings saved to onboard memory once you disconnect the headset from the phone? I would like the EQ/Mic settings to be active using 2.4Ghz on both PS5, PC, and Macbook, with the settings done prior through my phone. If it can't save the settings of both EQ and Mic onboard, I don't see the point compared to the regular 2023 edition. Or is there another way?

I have the PS5 version and had the regular PC 2023 version. The PS5 version for me will not connect to the app to even make any adjustments. The 2023 may require Synapse but it at least saves and worked on my PS5. Also the PS5 version lacks a couple of game EQ settings that the regular 2023 version has

Any good eq settings for these for fps?

So if I own and Xbox and Ps5, I should get the Xbox version since it works on both?

So I just got the pc version of this headset and was unaware the console version existed and am using it on my ps5. But I have an issue with the mic and there’s a constant feedback in the mic and my party of friends say it sounds like a constant popping sound.

Same concern, I'm a primarily PC player but have the PS5. Is there any difference when connecting to PC between the versions?

Anyone know why these aren't compatible with synapse yet? Also, the mic monitoring on mine (xbox edition) sounds really tinny. Anyone have similar issues?

This is going to be a long comment so TL;DR at the end. Great video as always. I bought the V2 Pro 2023s in December and have loved almost everything about them as I did the wired V2s before them. If I had the money I'd probably buy the PS5 ones just to not have to move my dongle from my PC lol. That said, I have some insight on the build quality issue. Now, I have owned two previous Blackshark models, a wired V2 and a V2 X. Neither one ever had a single issue with anything cracking or breaking for years and I'm not rough with my gear. I bought the V2 Pro 2023 edition in December. They were fine too, until in March, I was just looking at them and noticed a hairline crack, right on that bracket on the left side right where the wire on the inside would be mounted. Not only that, but there was also a very slight bulging right next to the crack where the other wire would be. I thought "What is this?! I've only had them like 3 months!" Well, I saw enough broken headsets on reddit and amazon to know I should just RMA the thing now when it's clear that it is a stress crack and not an impact break from mishandling it. After a little back and forth with Razer they agreed the headset was faulty and sent me a new one which I just received yesterday. The box design was slightly different so it is definitely one produced a bit later than my old one. And you know what? The second I put the new one on, I immediately noticed the clamping force seemed a little softer than my first one. This leads me to think that the people that are all getting the same piece on the headset breaking are just receiving units that putting a little too much force on that piece. I noticed also the plastic on that piece feels a little different compared to my V2 and V2 X. Maybe they went with slightly different plastic on the V2 Pro 2023s? Or maybe they just feel different because I've had them awhile lol. Either way, coming from someone who has had 3 different Blacksharks and only my V2 Pros gave me an issue, I'd advise against implying people are just not taking care of their stuff. You can just say you haven't had any issues and leave it at that. We've probably all been there with a product at some time. Everyone else loves it, and you're the unlucky person that got two or three faulty units in a row until you just swear off the company lol. TL;DR: Love the video, you rock, some units of the V2 Pros maybe have too much clamping force causing the breaks. The second you notice any kind of fault in that piece, RMA immediately, Razer should take care of it if it's clear you did not smash it or something.

Bought the PS5 version to give a shot and honestly kinda disappointed. I mean they are comfortable and the microphone sounds great but they aren't without issues. First the overall volume is pretty low in my opinion. For reference I also have a pair of Steelseries Arctis Nova 7X and the Logitech Astro A50X and both are noticably louder. The Astro are loudest of the three. The Nova which also connects via a dongle is a bit louder but enough that it's noticable. I'm guessing Razer either has a volume limiter on by default or kept the volume low to prevent people from damaging their ears. If there is a volume limiter that you need to access via the app then that's another issue for me. I downloaded the app but my headset won't connect to it or it cannot be found when using the app. The Bluetooth works and connected to my Android without any issues.

the wicked cushions suck for the headset honestly makes the ears warmer.

And a much tighter fit. That's my issue with Wiked Cushions. They're overkill in the thickness department and increase clamping force. So many KZread reviewers recommend them but never discuss the downsides, such as increased clamping force and added weight.

Bought a set. Out of the box the sound profile is horrible to my ears - more bass is the last thing I want as these are bloated from stock to my ears (appreciate its subjective though). Once I've massively EQ'd them, they are much better sound wise and of course the Mic is great. Eq does stick between Xbox/PC and when I have them connected to the PS5 in USB mode so that's a plus.

The build definitely isn't "perfectly fine" if countless people have brought up the same issue that those brackets break over time. I've had this happen to 2 pairs of these. I LOVE these headsets for many reasons. The sound is good enough for me, the mic is amazing, and they feel very cozy on my head -- but I'll never get another one because of the cheap construction there. The "How people break these" comment... I "broke them" by putting them on my head and taking them off. I'm never rough with any of my gear. Stuff costs money, and I don't happen to have an endless supply of that. So I think it's less of "I broke them" and more, they just fell apart because they're cheap pieces of crap. I love your reviews, but don't discount several people's experiences with something and act like they're invalid because it hasn't happened to you. After my first one broke while I was just sitting there playing a game, I looked up how often this happens to people and it looks to be fairly common.

That still completely misses my point. I'm not saying that this will happen to every single pair of these headsets, but just because you have a pair (or pairs) that hasn't broken in that way, doesn't mean that they're perfectly fine and that others haven't had a pair (or pairs) that have broken there due to no fault of their own. In your experience they're fine, sure, but not overall if this is a fairly often reported issue. They were also my main headset, worn every day for months on end, they weren't cycled out regularly. Several people have reported this issue. I'm well aware that there are countless pairs of these headsets that it will never happen to, but to disregard all the cases that it has happened and putting the blame on the user is a mistake. I am very glad that you did at least bring attention to the issue in the video, so that's great. Also, credit for saying that *in your experience* they're fine. Putting the blame directly on the user is rather insulting, at least in my case (and reportedly several others), as I did nothing wrong with either pair of my 2023s that should have made the right ear cup break off. You mention that you let your 9 year old use them, I'm assuming to illustrate that even a child didn't break them when using them. I guess because kids are known to be rough with things... I get where you're going with that, but that doesn't invalidate my point either when I clearly stated that I wasn't rough with them. Being rough had nothing to do with it. They just broke. For no apparent reason. While just wearing them. In the middle of just sitting at my pc playing a game. I'm also pretty sure that I have a larger head than a 9 year old, as would most adults, so I'd bet that my head placed more stress on the point of failure than a 9 year old's head would place on the joints. So maybe it's just a rather large melon problem that causes this issue after wearing them for countless hours. Whatever the reason, it does happen. It was interesting too, because it wasn't just a quick snap. The first pair's ear cup broke off in 3 stages over the course of months. First the inner plate of the joint snapped off. I didn't think that much of it. I figured "oh well, they still seem fine... not sure why that happened." Then a few months later something from inside the joint broke off. Then finally I was just sitting there and the whole thing snapped and the metal wires dug into my bald head lol the cup just dangled there. As I stated before. I LOVE these headsets. It makes me sad that I'm not willing to buy another pair, and I hope that anyone that gets them has a better experience than I did... anyway this is already way too long, keep up the great work. I'll keep watching.

​@seviin2685 Get a grip, man. Any product has a percentage of failures. So because you experienced a fault, which is clearly a minority, that should be a warning to all gamers? Get over yourself. I had a PS5 that overheated and failed. So should I be warning everyone else not to buy one, just in case? Whether you treated the headset rough or not is irrelevant. You obviously feel offended by the suggestion. But to assume your experience is applicable to all these headsets, and doubt the words of Techne because he hasn't had the same experience as you. I don't understand why some people feel compelled to share a bad experience with a product and state it as fact. I had the Audeze Maxwell and experienced a foil crinkle sound by simply putting the headset on & off. The driver was essentially broken. I didn't feel compelled to warn others not to buy the Maxwell, just because I had a bad experience. My point being, IF you didn't mishandle the headset, there's a very good chance you won't experience the same fault with another headset. If it was a design flaw, the problem would be more widespread than a few people posting broken pics on Amazon.

You appear to have not read everything I said. Anything that I would say to rebut any of your points I have already said in the previous posts... just reread (or read). No where in anything that I posted did I warn anyone off of this headset. I brought more awareness to a fault in the design. I never told anyone not to buy them. I actually said that I hope it doesn't happen to anyone else, and aside from the fault in the build quality, I give them an absolutely glowing review. You contradict yourself in your own post by saying, "Whether you treated the headset rough or not is irrelevant" and then go on to say, "My point being, IF you didn't mishandle the headset, there's a very good chance you won't experience the same fault with another headset. If it was a design flaw, the problem would be more widespread than a few people posting broken pics on Amazon." Anyway, you can just read anything I wrote to answer your points, as it'll just be retyping the same things over an over at this point that I already typed the first time.

Dammit. I've said if the do a wireless Blackshark V2 for Xbox I'm buying it day 1. Guess I have to open up the wallet here soon.

I am never buying another Razer headphone. The signal is really bad on my Blackshark V2 pro. I can't sit on my sofa and game from my PC when it is sitting 6ft away without getting these dam beeps, but my Sennhiser Momentum 4 allows me to walk around the entire first floor of my house with no drops on BT and dongle. SMH

its BS that razer didn't make this app for the originals

Absolute Worst Sounding Headsets I’ve ever had returned them asap. Don’t even go there spend more for a better set.

I would NEVER buy these headphones. They STILL have not fixed their design flaw dealing with the connection between the headphones to the headband. Essentially, it is a thin piece of metal in the shape of a square pushing on the plastic pieces. The plastic is known to break, a VERY common issue and Razer offers no solution. Great headset... if they didn't break!

Not sure what you’re on about, I’ve had mine for 3 years and they’ve not broke or shown any indication of doing so. They’re designed similarly to military ear defence

You gotta love anecdotal evidence. One person has a bad experience and claims it as fact. If there was a design flaw, the issue would be more widespread. Any product can fail. It doesn't mean it's applicable to all. Judging by your replies, along with myself, you are clearly in the minority. I had a PS5 that failed. So should I warn others not to buy it? Get over yourself.

@@StrangeDoctor_ I have them and think they sound great. I’d just recommend getting wicked cushions or another ear pad replacement from Amazon. I’ve returned every headset that I have tried because I don’t think they’re much of an upgrade over these.

@minhn2888 yea, im on the same boat, but why do some people say the XT aren't that great of a sound, especially on ps5 because you can't save the EQ they say. But you tell me they actually sound good. How are they with warzone footsteps? A50 are nuts expensive yes

I had Blacksharks V2 Pro for a few months and I sold them... what these reviewers never tell you is... this brackets become loose after a few months... in my case right one became so loose I couldn't get them symetrical and always adjusting them while playing... old ones didn't have any notifications with playstation for mic mute or volume level... and for me theese are not in top 10 comfortable headsets... these original pads are just bad... with WC they became 1000 times better... the only good thing about these are sound... they are really good on PC when you play with EQ... but for PS5 the old ones sucked... hope this will be better
