A (Really) Great Entry Level Wired Headset
For what it costs, I had relatively low expectations of this headset. I came from a Corsair Virtuoso SE wireless headset that had a great mic and very good sound, but the connection with my PS4 was never very solid and I would notice relatively frequent dropouts in audio. Friends with PS4s swore by using the 3.5mm jack on the controller and I decided to use this to test.Build QualityWhen you pick up the headset the first thing you notice is just how light it is. It feels somewhat solid, but also it’s clear that this is not a headset that prioritized premium materials. It’s also extremely comfortable because of how light it is. Although I’ve never had issues with heavier headsets and neck pain, if that is a consideration the light materials should be great for long term sessions.The pads are faux leather on the interior ring and exterior ring. The part that rests against your head feels like something a little more breathable. I don’t think I will have any issues wearing these for long sessions. The clamping force is a good moderate level where they won’t fall off accidentally, but I don’t feel like I am in a death grip.Mic QualityI made some calls using the mic and, I believe this to be a great compliment to the quality of the mic, no one thought I was on a headset. “It’s like you were actually talking through your phone.” Although they have a gamer vibe, I could definitely see using these on conference calls (as long as the video was off.) Basically, the mic is great.Audio QualityHere’s where I was expecting things to fall apart, but they really didn’t. I decided to make a completely unfair comparison between these and my pair of Sennheiser HD600s run off of an AudioQuest DragonFly Black DAC/AMP. There was clearly no contest between the two headphones in terms of vocals or detail retrieval, but the Razer wasn’t a bad headphone by any means. It had a clear and present bass, without being muddy. I do feel like the Corsair Virtuoso had a more full sound, but the spotty connection ruined it.Gaming tends to be, I think, more forgiving than listening to music … so I ran through a couple of games as a test. I tried a game that I feel focuses on background music (Unravel), which sounded great. I also tried something with more exploding (Borderlands 3) and the headset felt equally competent.Flaws (But Not Deal Breakers)The volume knob goes the opposite of the way my mind treats every other volume knob in my life. Clockwise turns the sound down?! WHY?!I would have loved an LED to remind me that I’m muted. My first attempted call failed because the mute was engaged.ConclusionThe Razer Blackshark V2 X might have a terrible name, but it’s an amazing product at the price point. I don’t play as many games online as I used to and I listen to a lot more music. For me, it makes sense to have a great pair of headphones for music and solo play as well as a cheap headset for online play with friends and conference calls. This works for me.

Great Headset for a New (Budget) Gamer
I’m a new gamer; I just got an Xbox One at the beginning of the year. I started playing games with a few friends and got this headset so I wouldn’t have to call them on a separate device/platform. It’s definitely a great starting headset! They’ve lasted great so far and I’ve had them for about 5 months now. There’s been no damage so far to the headset material, and the volume knob functions perfectly. They do cancel noise very well, I typically can’t hear much when I am wearing them properly (sometimes I have 1 side off).They are lightweight, they don’t feel heavy on the top of my head even when wearing them for a while. If you are one of those people whose ears start to hurt from being pushed in for a long period, like me, these headphones may help with how long you can use them. I am able to use these headphones longer than others like it.I will say it is only for the devices that it lists in the title/description. I’ve tried to use them with my computer a few times and the sound works great, as usual, but when I chat with friends or if I’m on a video call using the headset, the microphone doesn’t work as well. I’m often told that it’s more difficult to hear me, so I end up switching over to a pair of wired earbuds I have.

Best headset for this price range.
Why did you pick this product vs others?:Great headset at a good price. Would highly recommend. My only points of comparison with other headsets are with Astro A10s and Turtle Beach Recon 50xs. This headset is far better than both of those in terms of sound quality and mic sensitivity to picking up my voice when talking quietly late at night. I do dislike the inability to physically disconnect the mic piece and audio cord from the headset itself, especially the audio cord because sometimes the cord gets caught on something and I move, and instead of safely unplugging from the headset and me just being able to plug it back in I can see it potentially causing irreversible damage to the cord by yanking on the connection with the headset. Durability:Solid construction, feels durable and unlikely to break with regular use aside from potentially the non-detachable audio cord being yanked on if you are not careful.Â

I had the original BlackShark V1 headset and recently picked up the V2, and while the V2 is a solid overall improvement in terms of sound and comfort, there are a few trade-offs. The audio quality is definitely a step upâwider soundstage, clearer detail, and better balance overall. The ear cushions are softer and more breathable, making long sessions much more comfortable. That said, the mic is pretty mediocre. It gets the job done for voice chat, but it sounds a bit flat and compressed compared to other headsets in the same price range. Also, while the V2 has a more modern and refined look, I still think the original V1 looked better purely from an aesthetic standpointâit had more of that tactical, distinctive vibe. Still, the V2 delivers where it counts in terms of sound and comfort, even if it lost a bit of personality along the way but I would absoluetly recommend it for a budget friendly gaming headset.
