Razer BlackShark V3 Pro vs Audeze Maxwell 2

The Audeze Maxwell 2 are slightly better gaming headphones than the Razer BlackShark V3 Pro, unless noise isolation is a top priority. Unlike the Audeze, the Razer have ANC, so they do a much better job blocking out noise around you. The difference will be especially noticeable if you often game near open windows, as the Razer can handily reduce bass-range sound like rumbly bus engines. But aside from that, the Audeze are better. In particular, they've a much better microphone, but their battery life is also a bit longer than the Razer's. That said, the Razer are usually cheaper, so if you're happy to compromise on mic performance, they might be the better value pick. But it's a close call. If you just want the best you can get, go with the Audeze.
