However, you can hear this some compression happening on the higher-end when I speak up. The audio is not bad when you have it plugged into its own USB sound card with everything set to default. Now ladies and gentlemen, let’s see what this microphone can do and if the hype has been worth it. That is one of the value-adds when you go for the higher-end BlackShark V2 versus the V2 X. It does add a little bit of extra environmental expansion, which doesn’t destroy the original frequencies that are there. I don’t think it detracts from the audio experience. There are different profiles that you can select on a few games that are currently available for spatial audio. Surprisingly it’s actually not too bad, it’s not like surround sound modes, it’s more of a slight soundstage expansion. The soundstage of the V2 X is fairly closed off and that is one of the advantages of the BlackShark V2, because it has built-in THX spatial audio. The GSP 300 has a slightly wider soundstage, when you put them on it doesn’t feel super closed off, but in terms of bass and the high notes they are pretty similar. They do sound very similar to the G Pro X, which is a lot more expensive. I don’t think there is any particular like frequency or part of the sound curve that lacks behind other headsets in this price range. I would 100% use this for competitive CS:GO, for Escape from Tarkov, for any games where you just want to be submerged into the audio atmosphere. I’m still very impressed what you get for $59 on the V2 X sound wise. I guess that’s a good thing for the cheaper model, but it does show you that there is a variation in build quality from one headset to the other. The overall build quality and feel of this V2 X whole frame feels much more premium than the V2. Lastly, the ear cups on my V2 model feels a lot looser than what I have with the V2 X. Whereas on the V2 X, they just feel so much better with smooth glide on both sides. On my V2 model, the rail system is actually a bit stiff, so you can’t really have smooth adjustment. Normally it extends from the headband, but here they just kind of ride on these small metal rails. I also don’t particularly like the size extension mechanism. Not that it’s creaking anywhere, but the ear cups are hollow on both models. When it comes to feeling the build quality that is when it becomes a little bit disappointing. The V2 X is actually even lighter, so they disappear even more. The headset kind of disappears on your head, which is fantastic. I can wear this thing for 6 hours without introducing any pressure points anywhere. First of all, the headset is extremely lightweight, which is a massive benefit for comfort. Now when it comes to build quality, my first impressions were mixed.
