Bro, did you even SEE the side tone adjustment when you wrote the office use section for the Blackshark V2 Pro? “They also have a boom mic, and while its recording quality is just okay,” lol WHAT, you wrote that it had superior quality. “Unfortunately, the headphones struggle to isolate you from ambient noise like coworker chit-chat from reaching your ears.” Adjust the side tone so you can hear your own voice.

Thanks for your comment, Mitchyy.

I think it’s worth clarifying a couple of things here. First, when we talk about noise isolation, we’re not strictly speaking talking about being able to hear your own voice, but about how well the headphones (and not the microphone) block out external noise. You’re correct to say that the sidetone adjustment can allow you to better hear your own voice in your headphones, but that doesn’t in itself block out outside noise (for example, chatty coworkers or a loud train engine).

Second, in our testing, we distinguish between microphone recording quality and microphone noise handling. The former refers to the ability of the microphone to capture natural, neutral, extended, and understandable speech in a quiet environment. The latter refers to how well the microphone separates your voice from any noise around you. The quotes you pull reference the Logitech PRO X 2 LIGHTSPEED, which has an okay microphone recording quality, but outstanding noise handling. That means while your voice might not sound especially full or natural to the person on the other end of the line, it will still be understandable and clearly disguisable from most noise around you. Your conversation partner won’t hear much of the loud bus that passes by you while you’re on the call (though you might still have trouble hearing them).

Still, when recording quality and microphone noise handling scores are combined, the Razer ultimately have a better overall mic performance than the Logitech. Adjusting the sidetone doesn’t change that as it won’t affect the microphone’s recording quality or noise handling.

I hope that helps. Please let me know if you have any other questions about this.
