Review: Better than ALL headsets!! - Let me start by saying: I bought this headset thinking I’d just get slightly better sound and maybe stop annoying my friends with my old potato-quality mic. What I didn’t expect was to emerge from my first game with it like I’d been granted the ears of a cybernetic owl. Seriously, this thing has THX Spatial Audio. I can now hear footsteps, whispers, and, like never before. I didn’t even know how much I’d been missing until I threw these on and realized every prior headset I owned was basically two tin cans and a string. Sound quality? Unreal. The 50mm Triforce Titanium drivers handle highs, mids, and lows like a pro DJ mixing beats in your brain. Explosions boom, dialogue is crisp, and footsteps? Oh buddy, you’ll be spinning in your chair because you’ll hear them behind you before they get you. I’ve gone full try-hard mode since getting this. My KD ratio thanks me. Comfort-wise, this is the first headset I’ve worn for 5+ hours without getting swamp ears or a headache. The ear cushions are infused with cooling gel, which sounds like marketing fluff, but let me tell you, it works. My ears stayed cool through an all-night Destiny raid and a very heated Mario Kart showdown with my partner (who now refuses to play with me while I have this on because “you can hear the shells coming”). Mic quality? Chef’s kiss. The HyperClear Cardioid Mic is detachable, but I keep it on because I like sounding like I’m broadcasting from a professional studio. Friends on Discord have commented that I finally sound like a human and not a dial-up modem trying to become sentient. It comes with a USB sound card that unlocks THX features for PC users (Windows 10 only), but even without it, the 3.5mm jack works great across platforms. I’ve tested it on PC, Switch, and even my phone (because why not listen to Apple Music in hi-fi luxury while walking my dog?). Bottom line: This headset made me realize two things: 1. I’ve been missing out on what “good audio” really means. 2. I'll never go back to budget headsets again. If you're a gamer, streamer, or just someone who wants to hear the game world as if you’ve stepped into it—buy this. Your ears, your teammates, and probably your killstreaks will thank you. I also bought one for my girlfriend after using it for the past few years and she also loves it. Amazing gift for pc gamers!
Review: These sound and feel fine for the price point - I got these for working remotely, the goal was to give myself a more portable option that an XLR condenser mic with a separate USB audio interface and a scissor arm. Something I could tote around with a laptop. The Razer Blackshark V2 delivers. The audio quality on the mic is acceptable with the caveat that I spent hours in the Razer Synapse program tweaking the settings and trying to find some combination of options that I could live with. Now, I think I still sound VERY tinny compared to my more professional dekstop audio setup, but for the price, mobility, and comfort I have found these are capable of producing acceptable microphone audio quality. The biggest problem I ran into is that the mic on the Blackshark V2 doesn't pick up lower tones as clearly as higher ones, and apparently my voice is on the low side. At least I had the option to tweak the settings because before getting the Blackshark V2 I had tried the Razer Kraken V3, and there is no fixing the audio that headset produces. Those were my second Razer product ever and my first Razer headset, I was shocked they put their name on something that shoddy. If Razer hadn't been having a sale that made their products an attractive price at the time I'd never have given their headsets the time of day ever again. The comfort on these is fairly good, nothing extraordinary to me but I usually take meetings and listen to music through audiophile quality headphones and I often put custom earpads on them, so my standards are very high. These certainly exceed what I would normally expect from comfort in a set of headphones at this pricepoint, but I find them to be less comfortable than your average Sennheiser headphones. The cups are a bit more shallow with the default cups and rest closer to my ear than I would like. Replacement pads are at the top of my shopping list for these, though I do like the breathable jersey material on the outside of them. The audio quality is acceptable. I honestly haven't even considered using these to listen to music or play games, and in meetings I have much lower expectations for the audio quality others bring to the table than I do for myself. But at no point has the audio quality jumped out to me as being bad. I ran a quick 3 track audio test just now and they're very bright sounding, which is to say these seem better tuned to produce higher frequencies than lower ones. They don't spark joy in my inner audiophile, but they're not bad either. This is acceptable audio. A sound that I think most people will find agreeable unless they're especially bass hungry. For those of you who are Dankpods fans I can offer an excellent frame of reference, you can barely hear the bongo player going off in Earth, Wind, & Fire's "September" with these. One notable feature that I've not encountered before (because I have gone out of my way to avoid using headsets) but really appreciated is the sidetone. I don't like closed back headphones and stick to open backs unless I'm listening to music in a public place. And I REALLY hate talking with closed backs headphones because I can't hear myself and I feel like I'm yelling. The sidetone option these offer takes in and plays ambient noise back to me so that I can hear myself and the world around me in real time. It may seem like a silly thing to want but for those of you who feel the same as myself I can promise this is a LOVELY feature to have.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by B***E on December 29, 2021*

I've used cheap $30-$40 headphones my entire life. This is my first more expensive pair and I LOVE them. Great sound quality, the mic is solid, and the passive noise cancellation is really good. I just need to get used to it because I talk a lot louder than I need to when on Discord. They're super comfortable, surprisingly light enough to wear them for hours and still feel comfortable. Build quality feels sturdy with a little heft, but not heavy enough to be uncomfortable, whatsoever. I really like that the volume wheel has a small click when reaching the midpoint, so you don't have to guess. Really nice touch. I was to able to plug and play immediately. Once I plugged it into my computer I was prompted to download some Razer software, which was super easy to setup and took a few minutes to learn. One thing I don't fully get the purpose of is THX Spatial Audio. It sounds noticeably worse than when it's off, but maybe I don't fully get the purpose yet. I'll update this review if I get it to work properly, but for now, I keep it off. In terms of product quality, it feels like a high-quality pair of headphones. I'm not an audiophile by any means but I absolutely love how these feel and sound. The ear cushions don't trap sweat or heat and honestly just feel great after long gaming sessions. The Synapse app has a lot of options, an equalizer, and various presets like Movie, Game, and Music. Just the Default preset is great already. Music sounds really good, when consuming media like Youtube videos, or Netflix, the headphones sound great and I can't complain. Overall these are quite amazing headphones. I highly recommend getting them if you have something higher quality than the typical "budget headphones." It's definitely worth the price. Definitely a great buy. Hope it can last me a year or two, AT LEAST.
