Razer BlackShark V2 X - Multi-Platform Wired Esports Headset (Triforce 50 mm Drivers, Advanced Passive Noise Cancellation, 7.1 Surround Sound, Hyperclear Cardioid Mic) Black

I researched for two days on which headset I would buy. I'd just gotten an ASUS Strix laptop, a headset is essential due to gaming laptop fan volume! What became very quickly apparent was website, after website, after website having this model at #1 in their lists, often above far pricier models. This seemed weird, too good to be true so I started doing more research. I went to rtings website and got a list of every headset on the market, and began comparing the specs and reviews of the Blackshark V2 against top end, highest priced sets, and mid range ones in the same price bracket. I also did this process on other well known tech websites. The results were astonishing! This headset got rated better than models 2-2.5x the price! After probably 10 hours of researching and cross referencing I felt there was no other option and decided on the special edition model. I've tested it out now and I am blown away. The sound quality is astounding, the best I've experienced with a gaming headset - easily. It was rated as having very good neutral sound (true sound, without muddying from effects and enhancements), and it really does. Everything is crystal clear, bass sounds are punchy without distortion, mid range is all there, and treble sings. Also, the noise cancelling is excellent, it keeps the 49db fan noise of my machine completely silenced to my ears. The headset is also incredibly comfortable, and I have very sensitive ears so make of that what you will. I find the build quality fantastic. The sound card and synapse app that allow EQ customisation is a true game changer. Any minor shortcomings the audio range may have can be completely rectified and bring out the full potential of these amazing headphones. To that end I found a brilliant guide from a music producer on reddit and I heartily recommend these settings: In Synapse: Keep volume below 75 (74 is recommended, this is to prevent audio outs which can occur at higher levels). *This doesn't affect the physical volume using the knob on the set* Turn all enhancements off. Set custom EQ with these in the following order: 0, 0, -3, -3, +1, 0, +3, -1, -4, +8 THX Spacial is personal preference, I personally use "Dolby Atmos For Headphones" on my laptop as I find it superior, but there are a fair amount of games that specifically use the former, so I'll experiment. Overall this is a truly exceptional headset, especially considering the price. I'm a solid loyal customer from now on, I look forward to a V3 down the line! 10/10

Before settling for the Razer Blackshark V2 Pro 2023 wireless I tried the Turtle Beach Stealth Pro and Steelseries Arctis Nova Pro, both retailing for a little either side of £300, I’ve also previously owned the Steelseries Arctis 9, Astro A40, Logitech G Pro X and the older wired Blackshark V2’s, this headset is up there with the best of them. The sound profile is excellent, base is prominent whilst not overpowering, you can easily switch between standard and custom EQ’s or switch between pre-defined game EQ’s all easily changeable through a button on the headset. They’re loud enough, sound great for music and Spatial Audio for gunshots is superb, you’ll have no issue knowing where the enemy is. To get the most out of the headset it’s worth connecting them to a computer using the Synapse 3 software to enable features such as sidetone/mic monitoring and bass enhancement, along with setting your custom EQ etc. I did this then now just use them in my PS5. In terms of looks, they’re quality, granted the Steelseries Nova Pros are imo the better looking if you’re thinking of wearing them out and about for music, but in terms of an out and out gaming headset, the helicopter pilot design holds up well, especially in the white. I’d personally like to see the mic be a little more adjustable, like the turtle beach stealth pro, flick it up out the way or even better, both the Steelseries retractable mic, not that it’s bad and it is detachable. Whilst it doesn’t have a changeable battery, battery life is incredible, I’ve had several few hour long sessions without the need to charge. It does have Bluetooth, and whilst its not simultaneous with game audio like the more expensive TB and SS, a quick double tap of the function button easily switches between game and BT. In terms of comfort, it’s exceptional, full over ear design that you can play with for hours without discomfort, never seems to get too toasty. Far more comfortable than the much more expensive TB’s which have a pinch to them. As far as the mic goes it’s as good as they come, feedback from multiple fellow gamers who’ve heard me on multiple headsets all vouch for that. This is definitely a key selling feature of this headset, if voice quality is on your priority list then you’ve found what you’re looking for. Wireless range is fine, I can get to the opposite corner of my house with solid brick walls before I lose signal. In summary they sound great whether gaming or for media, comfortable, great functionality and good customisation, but remember to get the most out of them use the PC! For the money you won’t be disappointed!!

Llevaba 5 años ya con mis Sony XM3 y queria cambiar, sobre todo por latencia y bateria ya que su sonido era bueno. Estos razer superaron las espectativas, tienen algo mejor sonido, bateria de 70h y latencia imperceptible, esteticamente es de lo mejor que vi en auriculares, las almohadillas de tela son un acierto a años luz de la piel sintetica ya que es muy agradable y comoda. La cancelacion de ruido es algo peor que en los sony, pero cumple su funcion y aislan muy bien. Eso si comparto una ecualizacion, ya que de serie suenan un poco metalicos, mediante ecualizacion se vuelve algo mas calido y de mayor calidad, es para uso de cualquier cosa(musica, juegos, series) y es una curva que trata de acercarse lo mas posible al estandar de rtings Para ser Razer que es una marca con mucho sobreprecio, veo que esta gama de auriculares tiene un precio-calidad muy bueno y acorde a lo que ofrece.

Ottimo prodotto,arrivato nei tempi previsti.Adatto alle mi esigenze,perfetto,proprio quello che cercavo.

Qualidade do som é ótima, fone leve e confortável. Você pode conectar ou desconectar o microfone conforme o uso. Tem o controle de volume e o botão de mutar no próprio fone, o que deixa o uso muito mais prático. Tem o app próprio da Razer para ajustar todos os parâmetros de som. Enfim, um fone de muita qualidade.

gooooood

After using this beautiful piece of gadget for more than 6 months by now, I decided to write a review about this. I'm spending a premium what am I expecting? An amazing unboxing experience, amazing quality of packaging and an amazing headphones! Not really a fan of the Razer software as you need to pay to enjoy the rich audio settings, that's a bummer! But apart from that you receive an amazing quality of audio which is fully adjustable through software, The battery of this headphones last for more than 6-8 hours of continued useage! Takes around a hour or so to fully charge and delivers a very wide range of connectivity! Do not expect much from the included mic as it only serves it's purpose of being a mic which sounds like your average earphone mic, The headphones foam provide a comfortable rest over your ears and blocks almost 60% of noise. Overall this is a perfect headphones for the price you are paying, vouch! 😁
