Razer BlackShark V2 Pro Wireless Gaming Headset: Super Wideband Mic - Pro Tuned FPS Profiles - 50mm Drivers - Plush Noise Isolating Earcups - 70 Hr Battery - Bluetooth - for PC, PS5, Switch 2 - Black

This is a fantastic headset for gaming. The sound quality is exceptional—clear, immersive, and perfect for FPS games. It connected effortlessly right out of the box, and I honestly don’t understand the complaints some people have about the microphone. Everyone I’ve played with says my voice comes through strong, clear, and static-free. One small thing to keep in mind: when plugging in the microphone, look closely at the connector. There’s a flattened section on the plastic that ensures you’re inserting it in the correct orientation. The plastic is soft enough that you can accidentally force it in the wrong way and mar it, so just take a quick look before connecting. Other than that, this is one of the best headsets I’ve ever used. It’s incredibly comfortable for long gaming sessions, the battery lasts a very long time, and overall I have zero complaints. Fantastic headset.

Let me preface by stating I am reviewing the Blackshark v2 pro. Sometimes amazon combines similar item reviews, this is important and that I have owned this for over a year with consistent usage, using it multiple days a week for 1-8 hours. This thing has a lot going for it with very few downsides that in my opinion do not outweigh the pros and if you can get this for $150 or less it is 100% worth it. Pros - Noise cancellation is so strong, sometimes I don't hear my wife when she calls for me. She was the one who bought this for me lol - Sound quality through synapse can be adjusted to your liking, and I can't recommend it without it (kind of a con) - Incredibly comfortable even with glasses. There is a lot of good padding on the head and ears, prior headsets this was always an issue, recently before this I owned a corsair void elite and even that wasn't perfect, but it was close in this category. - Battery life is actually really strong, just be sure to charge it after each usage. I've only ever gotten this to low battery where it beeps at me if I use it for 10-12 hours without charging it. Sometimes thats a long gaming day sometimes thats multiple days. I'm pretty good about keeping things charged, so this isn't a pain point for me, but may be for you. That said you can charge while using it. - Removable microphone, probably not a huge deal for most, but I use these as headphones not a headset. I use an external USB mic for better quality (I'll get into that later). - Ability to use this with 3.5mm port. I wouldn't recommend this without the USB function, as the USB DAC it comes with is decent enough and having used it without it, this is where it fails, but I'm labeling the 3.5mm port as a pro in case you have a multipurpose headset in mind - THX 7.1, now this is just virtual surround sound but in the couple games I have tried, notably monster hunter world, it performs really well, its weird to get used to but its done well enough. Not a huge selling point, you can get this elsewhere, but noted. Cons - Without the USB DAC and synapse you are losing a lot of potential. This thing is really good for sound quality once you configure it, but on it's own it's horrible, this is why I did not get the wired version of the blackshark v2 with just 3.5mm. - Microphone quality isn't great, its honestly worse than most and for $180 it should be a lot better, this is why I use an external mic. Unless you're yelling, your friends will probably say you're quiet. - Intermittent disconnects, unsure if this is a hardware, connection or synapse issue but it happens infrequently it doesn't bother me, but should be noted. - Synapse, I swear I've had issues with every gaming software (ghub, icue, synapse) but recently synapse has been a pain. I love iCUE (or did) but hate corsair software, but if synapse continues to get worse I will look elsewhere for another headset. Overall, if I had to buy this thing again I'd do it for $130 or so. I wouldn't spend $180, I'd just get professional wired headphones, but this thing has a lot going on that it made it worth it to me. I recommend these headphones to anyone who is in the market for a wireless headset in this budget range who doesn't hold grudges against razer. In that niche, I think its perfect.

I've been using this as my main headset for over a year. Pros: Incredible battery life: I often forget this is wireless and once every week and a half or so I'll hear the little chime that says it's dying and I plug it in when I go to sleep, wake up with a 100% battery for another1-2 weeks. Comfort: I'd put this under pros, even if it didn't wow me, it isn't actually painful like a lot of over ear headsets can be. It wouldn't win any awards though. Cons: The mic which is the ONLY reason I bought this particular wireless headset is absolutely terrible. Not the sound quality, the sound quality was top notch like everyone said, but the reach, the craftsmanship, just could not be worse. It has this plastic casing around the arm of the mic that feels like it should maintain some rigidity when you adjust it but it doesn't it's like a wet noodle, you try and shape it to where you need it (Which it's already way too short to reach in front of your mouth) but it just wants to spring back and point away. No matter how you try to fix it, it does not work, and I'm inevitably hearing people say "Are you standing far away from your mic?" or "I can't hear you at all" Absolutely terrible design and quality. If you are thinking of getting this for the mic like I was, then think again. This will only disappoint you. I guarantee it. Buttons/charger port: I would say this sleek design really did not do the buttons or the charger port location any favors. The buttons don't feel easy to click at all on this smooth surface, so you really have to grab the entire headset and try and click the rigid buttons, or find which one you need. I don't think it's very intuitive, and it just doesn't feel great. It's not a huge con, but I would never put it as a pro so here it is. Also you'll never land that charging chord while you're wearing the headset, so don't even try. Overall: I would not recommend this headset. When there are much better wireless headsets that don't have a droopy noodle for a microphone, this headset's singular plus which was supposed to be it's mic quality absolutely falls apart when the only way to speak into the mic is to literally HOLD the mic in front of your mouth. I removed the mic and use a Yeti now because this thing was completely unusable. I can't say I'm surprised, Razer has fallen short of my expectations in nearly every product I've ever had of theirs, and I was fooled by some positive reviews into expecting this to be any different. CHANGED MY REVIEW TO 1 STAR: Broke after 1 year and 5 months. The cheap plastic around the connections literally shattered when I went to pick up my headphones. This makes I think the 4th RAZER product that has just become unusable in record time. I will never recommend another Razer product. Don't waste your money. Absolutely disgraceful to be selling products so expensive with such cheap materials.

This is a very light weight headset that is comfortable to wear, has great audio quality, and a very good mic with in depth audio and mic EQ software. However, there is a major flaw with how the band connects to the ear cups that causes the headset to break over time. The ears are connected via two plastic pieces that will snap due to the way the cups cause the metal wires to bend out when putting the headset on. This happened on one ear about a year ago and the other last week. I've been able to save my headset by using some binder clips/paper clamps to hold the broken connectors together which is the only reason I am not giving this one star. If you get this, I highly recommend doing this fix the moment any damage begins to show. For a $200 headset I expected much more out of the build quality, everything else meets and even exceeded my expectations. This is not the first razer product that I own with great features but poor build quality, and frankly I am a bit fed up with it after all these years. TLDR - this is a very good headset with an incredible mic and decent wireless range, but it absolutely will break over time. If you get this, be prepared for when it happens, use binder clips.

I've had these for a little over two months now and they are working amazing and feeling great! For reference, I am a small person who wears glasses and has a sensitivity to loud noises, so if you're in a similar boat, then these will work well for you! Pros: * Comfort: These headphones are really light, but sturdy. They don't put too much tight pressure on my ears or head (which helps when wearing glasses) and don't make me sweat either. They stay on my head pretty well too. * Noise Cancelling: The noise cancellation is pretty good, but that is kind of subjective for people. Most dull noises (like fans, cat fountains, air conditioners, outdoor noises, etc.) will be cancelled out by this when sound is coming through. I can hear people talking if they come in the room, but it's very easy to drown them out and I sometimes will hear them, but not understand them. This won't block out all of the loud noises out there, but it will lessen them considerably. I'm personally fine with this level, but I live in a mostly quiet home. This might be a downside for those with barking dogs, noisy kids, etc. * Quality Microphone: This microphone picks up my voice well and I sound clear and good when I play with friends. It will pick up quite a bit of noise though, even from a distance (like my cat meowing across the house), but I wouldn't say that's the mic's fault and instead my software's noise filtering capabilities. There are probably more things I could do for it or advance settings I can mess with, but for my needs it isn't important and my friends don't mind. A big thing I like is that the microphone piece is detachable, so I can actually get into more comfortable head positions if I want when I'm just by myself. Plus if the mic gets bad, I can just replace one piece rather than the whole headset. * Bluetooth Freedom: I got this so that way I could see what it's like enjoying a cordless lifestyle. I've heard mix things about Bluetooth headphones in the past that were made for computers rather than phones, but I have not been disappointed. It doesn't really have a high range (about maybe 30 feet?) before it starts cutting out here and there, but I can go to my kitchen or even sit outside and not have any issues. It's really nice being able to grab a quick snack or make a meal and still chat with people instead of having to step away. It would be nice if this had just a bit more range to it, but for now it works. * Low Light Profile: I get that people enjoy RGB colors and all, but when I'm gaming at night, I don't want bright lights affecting my peripherals as I play. The only lighting this headset has is a green power indicator light that is pointed downward and provides minimal light. That might make it a little dull for some, but I'm not bothered by it. * Good Volume Range: These headphones can get pretty loud or quiet (quiet being the important part), which I personally enjoy. I listen to heavy rock or punk music sometimes, and unfortunately that music can get too loud for my liking and I had struggled to find headphones that could get low enough without having to be muted. It's common that I find headphones or earbuds that can't get low enough for the louder music out there, but I haven't had an issue with this one. There is a good balance of being able to get low enough for loud songs, but also high enough for quiet songs. Cons: * Connectivity Issues: Occasionally (but rarely) the headphones might disconnect from my computer even though I haven't unplugged the USB from it. It's not every day, and it's only happened maybe twice now since I've had them. It's never when in active use, just when I want to use them. I can turn them off or charge them and once I'm ready to use them it'll be fine, but this just sometimes happens. However, I don't believe it's entirely the headset's fault, as the same thing happens with my Xbox Bluetooth controller. Might just be a computer issue. * Low-Sound Popping Issues: These headphones seem to struggle with super quiet noises. It feels like instead of these headphones staying on to play any sound that comes, it almost shuts off when there is perceived silence or lags when very faint noises are projected. If you turn up your volume, even just a little, you won't have that issue, but it is something I notice when listening to music. That does mean though that songs that get super quiet and then really loud will probably suck depending on the difference in scale.

The Razer BlackShark V2 Pro Wireless is easily one of the best gaming headsets I’ve ever used. From the moment I put it on, the comfort stood out — the ear cushions are soft, breathable, and perfect for long gaming sessions. Even after hours of use, there’s no pressure or fatigue. Wireless performance is flawless. The connection is rock-solid with zero lag, and the battery life is impressive — I can go days without needing a recharge. The sound quality is fantastic too: deep bass, crisp highs, and excellent directional audio that makes competitive games feel more immersive and detailed. Build quality feels premium, with a lightweight frame that’s still sturdy enough for everyday use. The on-headset controls are easy to use, and the overall design is sleek and professional.

First off, great microphone, mainly maybe why I'm giving it 3 stars. At first the headset seemed great but I noticed when I have multiple things like discord,music, and a game open at once, the audio for everything HEAVILY distorts after like 10-20 minutes of those things being open, it almost sounds like very bad static. I notice this stops when I close out my music app, this should not be an issue at all, yet it is. Another HUGE thing I noticed after 2 months of usage is that now everytime when I first power on my headset, for some reason it does NOT pick up ANY input audio as if the microphone was the only thing not "connecting" mind you i have the USB receiver on a USB 3.0 port(YES i checked the control panel settings to make sure all my audio is set up correctly). The mic starts to pick up my voice again after either A, I plug its charger into my PC and to my headset and this will sometimes make the microphone work again or B, I restart my PC, turn off headset, and before powering on either my PC or headset i plug the headset in with its USB C to my PC and THEN i power on my PC followed by the headset while it is plugged in to my PC. This has been one of THE biggest issues I've ever had with any headset I've picked up. I also noticed/read that the headphone yoke itself isn't very sturdy and IS prone to broke over use, Of course it depends on how you use it, but in my opinion i feel as if its something that is bound to happen as someone who has had multiple headsets and headset yoke types. Again GREAT mic, decent audio although the volume wheel is tied to your PC's maximum audio, so if the PC is at 80% so is the headset, I seemed to find a workaround by downloading ear trumpet since it gives me more audio options and flexibility that the headset cannot, This might be a common thing with most headsets but I used to own an Arctis headset before this Blackshark so naturally i got accustomed to how greatly they handle their audio and audio mix wheel , but horrible mic connection from my experience. I forgot to mention, yes the mic is detachable, no it is not damaged nor is it reason for the mic connectivity, Ive only ever removed it once or twice ever since purchase, and I've also NEVER connected this headset to anything other than my PC, even less of a reason for me to be experiencing such issues.

I have tried everything. Zone vibe 100, JBL nightfall, steelseries Arctis nova 5p, a Corsair headset I can't remember the name to, etc. None of them (NONE OF THEM) are on the level this headset is. The mic has no business being this good. Near broadcast quality. I use it all day for work and never have battery problems. Someone asked if I was ai recentyl--its that clear--and I work in a noisey call center The noise canceling through the software is superb and completely eliminates the need for things like krisp, but you'll need to understand how to use a computer. Not because the companion app is lacking (it is very user friendly) but because of other reasons I won't detail here as they are very specialized. The sound quality is UNBELIEVABLE, I hear an entire new layer to music, it's actually insane. It does lack some bass but that's ok, as it seems other headsets fake the impact of bass with cheap rumble tricks that my simple monkey mind is tricked by. The crispness of the audio is truly purposeful and amazing. It's very comfortable but there's some strain from all day use due to a sort've lacking depth in the overears. For instance, the zone vibe 100 are far more comfortable in weight and overear space that doesn't touch ear cartilage. I use the zone 100 at home due to its comfort, but this headset's audio quality for media is way better. The sidetone (YES, IT HAS SIDETONE) works while the mic has an output source, and it DOES NOT switch to a different audio mode to relay that. This means you can hear yourself while you play music for instance. The sidetone itself is a bit like a walkie talkie in its quality. Very clear, but lacks any meangful mids and is devoid of all lows. Again, this is just for the sidetone. Think phone receiver sound, while the media otherwise plays normal. Overall I am very very impressed with this headset (and I'm a total audiophile snob when it comes to headsets, obviously). Get this headset. Even though you might need a 5 minute break every other hour due to its somewhat lacking overear comfort, you'll truly be amazed by what this headset has to offer.
