Dmitry introduces and thoroughly compares two Razer gaming headsets, the Black Shark V2 and the more affordable Black Shark V2X. He delves into their build quality, comfort, sound, and microphone performance, highlighting key differences such as the removable microphone and USB sound card in the V2, and the V2X’s green extension cable for splitting audio and mic inputs. Both headsets feature the same TriForce 50mm drivers, but the V2 boasts titanium elements for clearer high-end sound, while the V2X offers richer bass. Spatial audio enhances the gaming experience by improving environmental sound without compromising original frequencies. Despite some potential fragility and mixed impressions on build quality, both headsets are deemed comfortable. Dmitry praises the V2X for its value and good sound quality at a lower price, recommending it for competitive gaming. He also highlights Razer Synapse software’s extensive audio customization options, particularly the THX Spatial Audio, which enhances gaming without affecting sound details. Overall, Dmitry is impressed with the Black Shark V2X as a standout budget gaming headset.

In this part of the video, Dmitry introduces two new Razer gaming headsets: the Black Shark V2 and the more affordable Black Shark V2 X. He expresses his excitement for the Black Shark V2 X, suggesting it might become the most popular $59 headset. He highlights how these headsets address community feedback and compete in a crowded $99 segment, featuring models like the HyperX Cloud 2, Logitech G Pro, and SteelSeries Arctis 5. He plans to cover various aspects such as build quality, comfort, sound, microphone quality, and features of the USB sound card. Dmitry also discusses design details, noting differences between the two models, such as material textures and branding.

In this part of the video, the comparison focuses on the differences between the v2 and v2x headsets. The v2x cushions accumulate more heat while both materials offer decent passive noise isolation. The v2 has thicker internal lining, providing more comfort if ears make contact with the internal wall. The v2x is lighter and more comfortable for extended usage, despite mixed impressions about its build quality. The v2 has a stiffer size adjustment mechanism and a looser motion in the ear cuffs compared to the smooth adjustments of the v2x. The exposed green cable on both headsets adds aesthetic value but could be a potential failure point. Although the v2x feels more premium and both headsets are very comfortable, caution is advised due to potential fragility. Both models feature a smooth volume dial with a midpoint tactile indication and a mic mute switch. The v2 has a light, noise-muting speedflex cable, while the v2x uses a standard rubber cable.

In this part of the video, the speaker highlights the differences and features of the Razer BlackShark V2 and V2X headsets. The V2X comes with a green extension cable for headphone and microphone splitting, while the V2 does not. Additionally, the microphone on the V2 is removable, unlike the V2X. The V2 includes a USB sound card, making it the more premium model. Razer aims to provide high-quality microphone and audio performance with these headsets.
When comparing audio quality, the V2 and V2X share the same TriForce 50mm drivers, but the V2 has titanium elements in its drivers, resulting in a clearer high-end sound. The V2X has richer bass due to different earcups. Both headsets offer a balanced audio experience with no harsh distortion at high volumes, and the V2 includes THX Spatial Audio for an expanded sound stage. The speaker concludes that the V2X offers impressive sound quality for its price, making it suitable for competitive gaming and immersive audio experiences.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the audio experience provided by spatial audio on games, noting it enhances environmental expansion without compromising original frequencies, particularly when comparing the Black Shark V2 and V2X headsets. The segment includes a microphone test, revealing that while the Black Shark V2 microphone has high potential, the USB sound card limits its performance. Bypassing the USB sound card by connecting the microphone directly to a computer or motherboard improves sound quality. Comparisons are made between the sound quality of different headsets, including the Black Shark V2, V2X, GSP 300, and Logitech G Pro, with the V2X providing good value at a lower price. The segment concludes with a look at Razer Synapse settings, highlighting the selection between stereo and spatial audio modes for optimal sound performance.

In this part of the video, the presenter discusses various microphone settings and enhancements available in the Razer Synapse software. Key features include microphone gain sensitivity, microphone boost, and volume normalization to balance audio levels. The segment covers noise gate and ambient noise reduction to filter background sounds, and side tone for real-time voice monitoring. Microphone equalizer settings like broadcast quality and custom options are explored. Enhancements for sound profiles, such as increasing bass and adjusting audio equalizers, are also highlighted. The mixer settings allow automatic or manual control of audio outputs for different applications. The presenter concludes by praising the THX spatial audio for its subtle but effective implementation in enhancing the gaming experience, without compromising audio details. He recommends the Razer BlackShark V2X for its affordability and similar quality to the V2, despite some compromises with the USB dongle.
