This is my first Reddit comment ever. Not gaming.. Oh well. Razer’s new BlackShark V2 gaming headset costs $99.99 and ships with support for THX spatial audio enabled by its included USB sound card. However, I would not call myself an audiophile by any means. Maybe the wireless Blackshark is better since you'll get the same sound profile regardless of where you play. Hey bro, has the adjustment mechanism loosen up? The Nari was really annoying me with how the microphone picks up noise coming off of the actual drivers in the headset and I couldn't find a single fix for it. See what their return policy is, too.

The system makes tracking enemies and managing chaotic firefights a lot easier.” — Erik Kraber, Senior Audio Director No "general" URL shorteners (bit.ly, tinyurl, etc). Perhaps playing with the different modes or speaker positions would help fix that last little gripe. It seems that Razer decided there were some problems with the acoustics of the headset and corrected them with the sound card rather than just fixing the headset, so the sound profile is noticeably different (and worse) without the sound card.

For example, I have Doom Eternal set to use the game mode, which engages the virtual surround processing, but for Monster Hunter World I have it set to stereo mode so that I can use the game's 3D audio setting instead.
