I want to replace my old, wired Hyper X (approx. 10 years old) with the V2 Pro, but I can't cope with the extremely different sound "off the shelf". While the Hyper X (via onboard sound) sounds very good to me in all areas (probably also due to habit), the Razer sounds worse than the cheapest Aliexpress fakes. With the EQ I get closer again with music, but with games (CS2, BFv, etc) it's still worlds apart. I also have problems with directional audio, I can't get to grips with the origin of sounds. In direct comparison with the Hyper X, the Razer feels like it has x levels more, which are not logical at all. Does anyone have any recommendations/tips for the settings, especially for music, but also important for games?
Depends on what you want, I can tell you for CS2 Competetive the CS profile is perfect, you don't want an awesome sound but the right one to improve the location in the game, btw. to emphasise the important aspects of the game. The game mode profiles all sound terrible. But they filter the unimportant sounds and output them.
I used to have the Hyper X and also the JBL Quantum and have to say the Razer is better and sounds better to me personally.
However, I can agree that I have problems with the headset on Tarkov with binoral audio, for example.
All in all, the thing has so many settings to customise it to your wishes that it sounds like an AliExpress thing is nonsense. You might think that with the game modes, but as described above, they should sound like shit.
