Blackshark v3 Pro bad sound

I’m on my second pair of this headset. Primary use is Xbox series x with some pc use. At the store both sets worked fine when I tried them. Get home, set them up on my Xbox, razer app, synapse on pc, updates, and upon initial power on, sound is super tinny, far away, and awful UNTIL I tap the EQ button then I gain full sound back. This happens EVERY power on. Razer support couldn’t help, the demos at the store didn’t experience this either. The issue is very clearly software related. The only thing Razer support wanted to worry about was pc. I bought them as they are the only Xbox compatible set Razer makes that’s wireless. For $250 this issue is unacceptable and it should load full volume on power on without me needing to do a single thing. I’ve done 4 factory resets and that doesn’t fix it either. It’s clear this headset isn’t ready for market. 
 

otherwise the headset is comfy and sounds good. Battery life is great. But cannot recommend these whatsoever at this time.

I am also seeing this issue with the BlackShark v3 Pro on my PlayStation 5. I always have to press the EQ button once every time it turns on in order for the audio to be good. It doesn’t matter what setting it’s already on when it turns on.

Just return it bro. They are garbage solely because of poor software. Sucks cause they are comfy all the good reviews are clearly paid sponsorships.
