Razer BlackShark V2 Gaming Headset: THX 7.1 Spatial Surround Sound - 50mm Drivers - Detachable Mic - PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X & S, Mobile - 3.5 mm Audio Jack & USB DAC - Black

I've had this headset for a few months now and I must praise it for it's brilliant sound quality and build quality. It's a beautiful design, the soft earpads are extremely comfortable but can leave my earholes abit sweaty after a couple hours gaming. The sound is boomy and detailed, took me a little while to get used to the sound difference after initially switching from my Corsairs to these but now I'm used to it I'm extremely happy. The mic is excellent and I love that it's detachable, the design is subtle enough for me to wear as headphones out in public without drawing attention to myself.

Excellent headset. Works very well with Ps5 and Pc. Bass levels and fantastic and playing competitive games it's a must to have great and reliable audio quality. The microphone is excellent. Very clean and balanced.

Great value when I bought these on offer.

I couldn't write a review sooner as these were a christmas present for my son, his words..... best headset he's had

Mint condition enjoying them now as I type comfortable and great sound :) it was a good win.

Enjoy this product a lot, very lightweight and comfortable maybe the most comfortable headset I have ever used. Sound quality is great and 3D Audio is better than ever on it. Well worth the money By my son

Great all round product. quality construction and sound. very comfortable

The item is 5 star very comfortable sound is good. It is a 3 star because if you are like me and buying this for an Xbox series X, the usb sound card is not compatible with any Xbox console save your money, get the V2 X

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.

Purchased at 124 SGD. Good sound and mic quality at this price. Razer SW provides quite some mic tuning. The compare video can be found on YT, actual experience is close to those review. I personally choose V2 over V2 X cuz I'm particular on the wire material so I pay the extra. But TBH I think if your budget is right at the 130 SGD, V2 X is better for value. Also if your head is bigger than average people, this headset should be the most comfortable one to put on, compare to HyperX, Logitech equivalents. The design is not that aesthetic, per se, but its mechanics does allow for low pressure on your head. For someone play games for more than 3~4hrs a day, comfort can be important. The only thing I felt unsatisfied is that although the mic is great on this headset(if you use dedicated sound card), the bundled usb sound card compresses it too much that it just become mediocre. I wish they didn't cut cost at this part otherwise it would be an unbeatable choice for the price.

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.

Primero que nada, me gustaría aclarar que los audífonos llegaron antes de lo esperado aun con la pandemia actual y llegaron bien sellados, bien protegidos y en excelentes condiciones. Yo he comprado con Razer en repetidas ocasiones en otras paginas y a diferencia de muchos, jamas me han decepcionado y siempre he quedado satisfecho con sus productos, lo digo en serio. Ya he usado estos audífonos anteriormente por aproximadamente una semana (prestados) y me decidí a comprarlos así que llego el momento de revisar mis propios audífonos. Los pros: -Empezaré por decir que la calidad es estupenda y son muy estéticos a mi gusto -El tacto y acabado de los audífonos los hace sentir de calidad premium a un precio relativamente barato -El software para darlos de alta en computadora es automático, funciona muy bien, rápidamente la computadora los detecto e instalo el controlador de tarjeta de sonido para su uso y así ha sido ya en dos dispositivos diferentes, sin problema alguno para compatibilizarlos. -Sabes cuando están prendidos porque se ilumina un led de color verde en la tarjeta de sonido que contiene el empaque por defecto (no integrada dentro de los propios audífonos, si no que es un dispositivo independiente con entrada jack de 3.5 mm) que no molesta en lo absoluto y ni estorba para nada pero sirve para que sepas cuando los dejas conectados. -No pesan mucho y son muy muy cómodos, cubren todo el oído y no apachurran o lastiman la oreja por lo que los puedes tener mucho tiempo puestos sin problema, yo los uso alrededor de 8 horas diarias para mis clases virtuales. -Son amortiguados eso ayuda a la comodidad. -Se oyen increíblemente bien tanto en recepción como el micrófono, que de hecho no detecta para nada la estática de fondo como hacían otros de mis audífonos al charlar por videoconferencias o en simples juegos, literalmente te los pones y te olvidas de ruidos exteriores molestos y que distraigan, claro que si lo que quieres es estar pendiente de tu entorno solo tienes que usar el regulador de volumen incluido en los audífonos así como su silenciador de micrófono manual en la parte trasera inferior del mismo sin tener que hacerlo pro medio de software. -Una cosa similar a la anterior es que tienen sobre el auricular un control de volumen independiente al de la computadora en su mezclador de volumen, por lo que, si hay alguien no tiene bien ajustado el audio o el sonido es muy estridente para diversos programas , puedes bajar el volumen fácilmente sin mover el de la computadora. Costaron unos 500 pesos mexicanos mas que los demás de la red con especificaciones similares, pero de verdad que estos audífonos merecen la inversión. Los contras: -El cable es un poco largo para mi y el hecho de tener que enrollarlo a veces me molesta ya que no se cuando necesitare un cable tan grande o tan pequeño. -Son demasiado llamativos para los gatos (lo digo por experiencia), así que si tienes alguno en casa, es mejor dejarlos fuera de su alcance Si soy sincero, para un usuario promedio como yo, que disfruta de escuchar música, jugar FPS tanto en Xbox como en PC y necesita de vez en cuando asistir a alguna videoconferencia, los considero unos audífonos perfectos para su PRECIO y en comparación a la competencia que se encuentran rondando los 2500 a 3500 pesos mexicanos, mas que nada por el nivel de software que manejan. Si alguien sabe donde puedo encontrar el codigo de activación de Razer 7.1 surround sound o si siquiera viene incluido con este modelo de audífonos, hagamelo saber comentando aquí mismo, por favor.
