Razer Blackshark V2 Hyperspeed Wireless Review

Using the 'Game' EQ, which is the default EQ, the Razer BlackShark V2 HyperSpeed have a bright sound that's not a very conventional sound profile in gaming. They lack a lot of bass, so exciting gameplay sounds hollow and lifeless. Dialogue and instruments, on the other hand, sound harsh, while sibilants like S and T sounds are piercing. You can adjust their sound using their companion app's graphic EQ and presets. These EQs can then be saved onto the headset so you can use them while on console. You can see a comparison of all the EQ presets here.

Depending on whether you're using Bluetooth, the wireless USB dongle, or wired USB, their sound can slightly change in the bass range. Between 40-70Hz (low to mid-bass), the wired USB connection provides more rumble and punch than Bluetooth or the wireless USB dongle. However, this is fairly minor, especially as the rest of the responses are the same.
