These premium wireless e-sports headphones have exceeded my expectations in every way, especially when it comes to gaming on my PS5. First and foremost, the sound quality is phenomenal. The TriForce Titanium 50 mm drivers deliver crisp, clear audio with deep bass and rich mids, making every game feel incredibly immersive. Whether I'm playing fast-paced shooters or exploring open-world adventures, the audio experience is top-notch. One of the standout features is the HyperClear Super Wideband Mic.

Speaking of extended sessions, the battery life is impressive, lasting up to 70 hours on a single charge. This means I can game for days without worrying about recharging. The build quality is also worth mentioning. The headphones feel sturdy and well-made, yet they're comfortable enough for long gaming sessions. The ear cushions are soft and provide excellent noise isolation, allowing me to stay focused on the game. Overall, the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro (2023) is an outstanding choice for anyone looking for a high-quality wireless gaming headset. Its superb audio performance, excellent microphone quality, and impressive battery life make it a fantastic investment for both PC and PS5 gamers. I highly recommend these headphones to anyone serious about their gaming experience.

I researched for two days on which headset I would buy. I'd just gotten an ASUS Strix laptop, a headset is essential due to gaming laptop fan volume! What became very quickly apparent was website, after website, after website having this model at #1 in their lists, often above far pricier models. This seemed weird, too good to be true so I started doing more research. I went to rtings website and got a list of every headset on the market, and began comparing the specs and reviews of the Blackshark V2 against top end, highest priced sets, and mid range ones in the same price bracket. I also did this process on other well known tech websites. The results were astonishing! This headset got rated better than models 2-2.5x the price! After probably 10 hours of researching and cross referencing I felt there was no other option and decided on the special edition model. I've tested it out now and I am blown away. The sound quality is astounding, the best I've experienced with a gaming headset - easily. It was rated as having very good neutral sound (true sound, without muddying from effects and enhancements), and it really does. Everything is crystal clear, bass sounds are punchy without distortion, mid range is all there, and treble sings. Also, the noise cancelling is excellent, it keeps the 49db fan noise of my machine completely silenced to my ears. The headset is also incredibly comfortable, and I have very sensitive ears so make of that what you will. I find the build quality fantastic. The sound card and synapse app that allow EQ customisation is a true game changer. Any minor shortcomings the audio range may have can be completely rectified and bring out the full potential of these amazing headphones. To that end I found a brilliant guide from a music producer on reddit and I heartily recommend these settings: In Synapse: Keep volume below 75 (74 is recommended, this is to prevent audio outs which can occur at higher levels). *This doesn't affect the physical volume using the knob on the set* Turn all enhancements off. Set custom EQ with these in the following order: 0, 0, -3, -3, +1, 0, +3, -1, -4, +8 THX Spacial is personal preference, I personally use "Dolby Atmos For Headphones" on my laptop as I find it superior, but there are a fair amount of games that specifically use the former, so I'll experiment. Overall this is a truly exceptional headset, especially considering the price. I'm a solid loyal customer from now on, I look forward to a V3 down the line! 10/10

I put the 4 stars for 4 different reasons that I liked the headphones. Comfort, Aesthetic, Sound quality and Build. Each of these I loved about the headphones and was a big win for me, they were incredibly comfortable, strong build, the sound from my game was amazing and they looked great. the over ear cushions were really nice and let my ears breath as well as noise cancelling the sound around me to an okay level. For a strong and rigid build they are fairly lightweight which I liked as it didn't push my head down. The one star that is missing that I don't think is talked about enough in the reviews is the mic quality, for this amount of money I wanted a good gaming headset of which I got half. I put 4 stars because I wanted to be fair about the product as they are very good. However, the mic, before the Razer black sharks, I used and have since gone back to using my headphones that I have been using for 8 years, the turtle beach PX24, they have lasted me forever and I love them, the right ear has snapped off but is held on by the audio cable and still makes good sound, people in games have said I have a nice voice or sound like a radio producer because my microphone is so good and asked what mic/headset I had so they could get it. I say all of this because they have given me very high standards for gaming headsets should be like, they are a cheap headset that hasn't deteriorated in quality since the day I got them. Meaning when I bought the Razer blackshark V2 I had all of this in mind. For the Blackshark V2 mic, my friends were saying at first that I sounded like I was talking into a tin can, after some tweaking on a few different programmes on Razer to configure them that issue was gone, but I also cut in and out while talking, as well as my voice volume would fluctuate every sentence, meaning my friends only heard half of the sentence. they couldn't tell what I was saying and I always went from quiet to loud or vice versa. Even with trying to configure them more and tweaking different settings for hours with my friends giving feedback, nothing made it better, and we deduced that it was just the bluetooth connectivity that wasn't able to transport my voice in good quality as that is a common problem. Not saying another bluetooth headset won't be better but just for me it wasn't good enough. This was a massive let down as they had been so good up until this point and I was so sad to send them back, but at least I went back to the px24's which I would buy again but I want something different. If you have a separate standalone mic then these couldn't be better for you, highly recommend, but im a student and I don't want to spend more money than this to put a separate microphone as I simply don't have it as im meant to be saving. Overall they're a very solid headset very nice and very comfortable, the sound that comes through the ears in amazing and I could wear them really comfortably for the hours on end that I was trying to fix the microphone. Like I previously said if you have a separate microphone or are looking to buy a separate microphone the the hyper x quad cast s is a very good one (my gf has it), it looks cool and sounds amazing, with these headphone it would be the dream set up for me but I don't have the money to buy the microphone so that dream is going to have to wait for now. Thank you for reading my 10 page essay of a review, I hope it helped in the end.

At this price point it's hard to beat this headset, there are a few options that go toe-toe all round or edge past this in a couple categories, but for a budget - midrange option these are some of the very best in terms of mic quality! Microphone: The microphone here and specifically the v2 (2023) model sounds incredibly full and natural, nothing stands out as a negative here and arguably one of the best headset mics to date. The fact its detachable is another pro here! I'd personally advise against the v3's as the mic in my experience is a noticeable downgrade, whilst this can be remedied via EQ in the software, it's still pales in comparison to the v2 (2023) microphone. Audio quality: Much like the microphone the sound offered by these are incredibly full and reliable for gaming, comes are clear and spatial sound/awareness are great. As these are not open back when paired with the sound quality here and comfortable ear ups, you have a truly immersive game winning experience! Build quality: Build quality on these are solid, not the moat amazing but on par with or better than other options at this price however the v3 does have Build quality that surpasses these. Comfort is king here and these are incredibly comfortable for long periods, with well cushioned earecups and a minimal pressure from the comfy headband. The rechargeable battery is stellar offering long session use before needing to be recharged. Some standout features: - Volume dial on the left ear up - Easy and quick to mute thanks to the mute button also on the left earcup offering good feedback - The ability to use these as wired headphones or wireless thanks to the included dingle (USB A) - Best in class microphone ideal for broadcasting, content creation or competitive gaming communications I'd highly recommend these and highly advise listening to a muc test so you can hear how great of a mic these have for a headset.

After being persuaded not to buy Corsair Virtuosos for lack of comfort, build and battery life, and being tired of HyperX's abysmal mic quality and the limited freedom of being wired, I arrived at this headset, and I'm 100% recommending this to anyone who truly cares about going wireless. With a bit of tweaking, this is also hands down one of the best wireless mics you can get. Build - 6/10 Only had this for a few days, but a solid headset. It definitely doesn't feel like you can break this thing super easily, but I would recommend to be careful with it - as you are dealing with small mute and power buttons, thin adjustment rods, as well as a charging port that sits quite deep inside. The mic however is very rigid and of course detachable therefore replaceable. Sound Quality - 8/10 Wired headsets like the HyperX cloud do have phenomenal sound quality, and this Razer headset cannot quite match it in that area - but, it is incredibly well balanced, not too bassy, not too loud and not too quiet. If you turn the volume on the headset towards max though, you start hearing a slight buzzing sound from the earcups. I've seen this complaint on several different wireless headsets though; and plus you can't hear it if something else is playing. Keeping the volume neutral is plenty loud enough for gaming and listening to music. Mic quality - 9/10 Word of warning - mic quality on wireless headsets is generally always bad. The microphone on the Blackshark V2 pro does not offer to change that. With no software tweaks it's really bad, but there's a very good reason why this was my #1 choice on mic quality in the wireless range. Razer Synapse software allows you to adjust the EQ of your mic - and I've found some perfect settings that make it sound unbelievably good for a headset, never mind a wireless one. If you don't want to tweak, you can stick the 'broadcast' preset on to get the most out of this. I personally use [4,3,2,1,-1,-8,-7,0,1,2]. Comfort - 8.5/10 This headset sits comfy and you can forget it's on, but it's obviously a tad heavier than your average wired one. That being said, if comfort is a concern, this headset will not disappoint you - my ears don't get hot or start hurting, it stays on and is easy to adjust with the rod system by just pulling it around. Range - 7/10 This headset works from about 10-15ft away, if you're planning to stray a few rooms away it should be fine, but don't expect it to work from downstairs or the other end of a large house.

Main issue is sound spikes, after using these for about 5 days, i've noticed loud knocking and sharp snap sounds in my headphones. Reading about this apparently the razer software "can cause this" and obviously you need this software to get your THX spatial audio. This is the main issue i've had with these headphones. If this problem didn't occur I would have kept the headphones, but I don't want to lose my hearing. These headphones look nice, and are 7/10 comfortable. The mic is fine. The 5 settings functionality to cycle through to find the one you want every time you turn on the headphones is a bit annoying - and not only that the button is in a position you can press it by accident when taking headphones on and off. The button is also double pressed to change the headphones from Bluetooth to hyperspeed to duel sound, so you can accidently trigger these. The mute microphone button is a bit unintuitive, as you push it in to mute, and pop it out to unmute (which seems like the opposite of on and off. Also a bit strange that you can't USB-C to USB-C the hyper speed dongle. You have to use the USB to USB-C connector provided. Though I guess that's reasonable, though annoying.

I got this headset when mine broke unexpectedly and my friend recommended this. I use it mainly for discord and have to admit it is very comfortable. The sound quality for a headset mic is really good!! There isn't ever a battery issue since it is wired and not wireless. I'd say for ease of use it's super useful and easy to use.

The headphones sound great and do a good job of blocking out background noise. The microphone is awful and picks up everything but your voice. I expected a bit more for the money tbh. They work well in a quiet environment, but I wouldn't recommend them for anywhere where the mic may pick up other sounds.
