Here I'm comparing the Astro A30 Wireless 2022 edition with the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro. These are two wireless headsets with appealing features in terms of sound, mic quality, connectivity and more. They're quite different in some ways and therefore worth comparing.

The highlights of the Razer Blackshark V2 Pro include:
An impressive microphone
Lightweight headset design that makes it comfortable to wear for hours
Tuned EQ profiles for specific games as well as THX spatial audio
Earcups that block out a decent amount of noise without getting too hot
Decent battery life

Lowlights of the Razer Blackshark V2 Pro:
Lacks simultaneous dual connectivity (i.e. Bluetooth and wireless at the same time)
Earcups are scratchy
