Blackshark V2 Pro 2023 EQ?
So I picked up this headset and it's got some cool esports eq settings for games like csgo and valorant but not a hunt specific one. Has anyone tried these EQs for hunt to see which works best or even set up a custom EQ for this headset for hunt? Thanks!

I don't know about this particular headset or equalizer, but I will say this:

1. Gaming headsets are almost always just a cash-grab. They look cool, they have nice branding, but that's about it. You pay a lot of money for bad performance.

2. Equalizers in Hunt are kind of difficult. Gunshots and mainly footsteps vary a lot in their sound. For example, you could have very low frequency footsteps on wood / through a wall and higher frequency footsteps on sheet metal. I imagine it'll be a little messy creating an equalizer for Hunt that doesn't totally butcher the sound design.

The mic on this headset in particular is actually really solid. Sound is okay for this price point I'd argue. Nothing mind blowing though. The valorant pre-set does seem to make a lot of sound effects and footsteps clearer but like you say it's hard to know what frequency these are at. I think these esports presets were added with the developers help so they knew which frequencies to raise and lower. Would be cool to see an official hunt one but seems fairly unlikely. Was just wondering if anyone had this headset and had found a good EQ setting for the game.
