Hey everyone, I desire a new headset to retire my 10 year old razer carcharias headset, (i absolutely love it, but it’s time to go wireless for a cleanliness upgrade!) so here’s the deal. i bought the logitech gpro wireless headset. On paper it was 100% upgrade; out of the box beautiful headset and here i am going “heck yes this is what i needed!” charged it up and used it for the first time(warzone/halo infinitive) WOW where is all the audio? why does it feel like im playing an old battlefield game with no sense of direction of where footsteps are or where shots are coming from vs my 10 year old stereo headset that i can clearly hear footsteps and their EXACT location with an extensive audio clarity where i can even hear what terrain im walking in and if someone is nearby?? this was even with “surround sound” off, with it on it was even worse. i need help finding that “100%” upgrade from my carcharias stereo headset. I also tried the expensive Corsair Virtuosos, and they sound the same to me as the g-pros, tinny, distant, no sense of direction, and QUIET. I’m currently looking at the Razer Kraken v3 wireless with haptic, does anyone know how clear the audio is on the wired version, and if it’s comparable to the carcharias headset? i really don’t want to purchase them, hate them, then have to return them. if the headset can go into true stereo sound i’ll be HAPPY! i’m going to try out a buddies Razer Nari headset, but that one also doesn’t have the triforce drivers. PLEASE let me know on an upgrade headset that sounds the same or better then the carcharias. so far it’s 0/2 purchased “top of the line in the market” headsets that couldnt even compare to audio clarity

I just picked up the Blackshark V2 (wired ones) and the sound is incredible. Coming from a Logitech G series headset with surround sound I can immediately tell the difference. Blackshark V2 blows Logitech out the water. Probably the comfiest headset I've ever worn, can game competitively for hours without fatigue due to sound or weight Edit: If you definitely want wireless then the Blackshark V2 has a wireless version (Blackshark V2 Pro)

in really liking the specs of the black sharks, can you turn off the thx spatial audio and get that beautiful stereo clarity?? i might pick these up tonight at my local best buy and give them a shot. they are pretty light which is also huge

Yes you totally can. All done through synapse. You can also choose between EQ presets or customise your own. Theres also movie, music and game mode which you can have active manual or auto depending on the game/app youre using. You won't look back after having this headset

i did end up purchasing these headphones, and oh my gosh you weren’t kidding. they sound BETTER than my carcharias! deep thumping bass and i love how there isn’t an ungodly amount of EQ settings! i haven’t figured out how to use the thx spatial audio but from what i can tell it’s turned off! 5 hours of gaming yesterday and i have NO issues. comfortable, fit my head great. and the mic sounds good! thanks for the help. i should’ve known to not jump brands
