TLDR: So far so good! Only used them for a few hours but set up was easy and I love the product so far.
I was a little disappointed in years prior when spending BIG bucks on wireless headphones. I wont mention brand names but even well reviewed devices caused me bad luck. I spent LOTS of time reading reviews and toiled over how much to spend and what would be both easy to use and sound really good. I think my search paid off because thats exactly what I got with this product.
I just started using the BlacksharkV2 Pro but for one... the set up IS actually as easy as advertised.
I charged the device as instructed. Put the wireless dongle in the USB3.0 hub of my laptop. The software just installed on its own.
I didnt have to break my brain tweaking windows preferences everything just did what the isntructions said it would. Following them was easy.
Im not an expert level computer technician and the software is very intuitive. It automatically detects when the device is connected and you can customize settings on the fly. And there arent TOO many complicated settings to tweak. So maybe expert level users would be turned off. But for me its "just right"... enough for me to feel satisfied in the tweaking I would expect from a higher end product but not so much that its stressful to use. I booted up Madden, played with settings for about 5 minutes and was gaming from that point on. As far as what settings do... I knew what I was measing with and what I didnt know was easily explained right there on the software. Im so impressed with the software that Im considering using this brand for other devices.
These are first impressions but the sound quality is quite nice. Im no audio freak but the quality exceeds expectations, especially after messing with the settings.
Functionality is fine. With wireless headphones I expect the controls to be on the headset itself. This means the buttons are small and tight together by nature, but this design is as convenient as i think it could be. The mute button feels good and is easy to hit. The volume control dial is easy to find on your head. The features advertised work well and didnt let me down.
My only gripe is that I had some trouble with the detachable mic. I have the settings fully cranked up on my mic output and its STILL a touch low on dischord for my team mates. I had some issues getting it to face the right way but once I did I found the quality acceptable. The actual connection from the mic to the headset isnt all that sturdy so it took some fiddling at first but I havent had problems since I positioned it how I like. The downside is that it somewhay defeats the purpose of having a detachable mic if the set up is so fiddly that it has to be JUST RIGHT every time.
I always get worried with devices like headphones that they look differently than pictured. These cans are as sleek as I expected. No surprise silly flashy lights like my last pair. Theyre nice and comfy on my head. For me its a perfect balance of snugging to my head while moving around a little without causing too much uncomfortable pressure.
