BlackShark V2 X - Multi-platform Wired Esports Gaming Headset

Had this before and yeah ill still say this is the best pro like headset at a mid tier budget you can buy. Tho the mic make you sound like a Esports commentator from 2010-2015 aka thats the mic quietly sounding professional yet old level of professional quality not like the mic you'll hear commentator use today. At least your voice will still be very clear. If your a CS player this also be a pretty choice you really can hear exactly where the footstep or jump came from. If you are still so un sure these lasted 8 and just about half years before yeah i've bought another one not long ago, but still in this day and age where many things are rushly made causing things to break sooner then they would of if there was more care into the production. 8 years (as long as you still take good care of it) is still quite impressively made to last headset. The only problem i can share at least with my old ones is the green cable protection from the wiring after 5 years started to slowly disintegrate on its own, but spite my old headset was basically exposed to the elements on year 6 of its life it carried on living for another 2 years even with the wiring becoming on display so spite the green cable parts being the only bad part of this headset it still was very much built to last. Take it from me who has owned this exact model in the past.

I can't speak for the microphone as I use a stand alone mic however the headset itself has very good audio and sits quite comfortably, the only complain I could say it that the wire is not very long so that can be quite frustrating, besides that, the headset itself is quite nice

Like my failed Kraken (v1) headset, my Kracken X (v1) headset head band was cracking internally, so was on borrowed time, but I didn't want anything USB or wireless, so this looked the best option, and apparently has a more balanced speaker frequency response. Pros: * less tight on my head. * more comfortable memory foam headband cushion. * the speaker audio seems better; I'm not sure about the microphone yet. * no annoying of snag-gable (volume slider) or swivelling inline control, like on the Kracken X (v1); this was a compromise which only made sense for wired mobile-phone earphones. * less bulky than Kracken X (v1), mostly because the ear cups aredifferent sides, but see cons. Cons: * annoyingly the microphone is not retractable or unplug-gable; admittedly being a goose-neck, it can be curved vertically when not needed. * the side plastic rods, by the ear cups, to allow friction adjustment have no indexing make repeatable adjustment hard. * the over-hang of the plastic rods below the cup pivots stops me rotating my head much while on my Hinomi X1 headrest, which is quite annoying. * just like the Kraken (v1) and Kracken X (v1) headsets the head band springiness feels like it is also from a flexible internal two-layer plastic structure, so will probably eventually start to fail from plastic fatigue! I'm dropping 1 star for the annoyances. i'd like to see a hybrid of the Kracken X adjustment and microphone retraction, and the smaller/better ear cups and controls on the Left cup, of this headset, with the plastic headband spring replaced by Spring Steel.

Good quality, great present

I have a giant head and had a lot of trouble finding headphones that fit. This one fits better than others. Big plus. However, there is a really annoying issue with audio balance where tweaking the audio knob makes the sound louder in one ear. On low volume all sound goes to the right ear, on high volume all sound goes to the left ear. On mid volume it's alright but that means not using the volume controls on the headphone. If you google "razer blackshark v2 balance" it's clear the issue is widespread. So I can't recommend this.

This was a birthday gift of my awesome wife. I play loads of games on my pc and Xbox and this sounds brilliant. They really are comfy on and the over the ear cups cancel a lot of outside noise. Install the the Razer 7.1 surround sound for your headset and you’ll be immersed totally in your game. Volume control is easy to reach and use, with the control knob and there’s a small button to mute the microphone on the left side of the headset. The only bad side I can see is that on my old headset ( Razer Kraken ) there was a small depression in the cups for my glasses, these don’t but it doesn’t make them uncomfortable at all. The Razer Blackshark V2 X works perfectly with pc, Xbox and PlayStation consoles. Comes complete with a 3.5 jack plug lead and an extra microphone and headphone lead. Definitely recommend these headset.

These are absolutely awesome for the money .Ive brought them to use on my PS4 and on my IPhone.They sound so good for the money !Best pair I’ve had for this money!The only gripe I have with it is that it states that they have 7.1 surround sound but you need a PC to use that software.I tried on the app but it won’t work.I can’t moan for the money though and they are still really good for the money.I am converted to Razer headsets from now on !Thats how happy I am with them.Try them out and you will not be disappointed.

Very good headset very comfortable I can tell where all my enemy’s are when they move perfectly very good heater for its price
