Razer - BlackShark V2 X

i ave one of these and though its built well the microphone is bipolar. Some how it is both too senstive but not sensitive enough. It can pick me up breathing lightly yet it cant pick me up laughing

Razer Black Shark v2 because it's $40 and doesn't suck

I've been using them for a 1 year now, if you want a headset exclusively for your desktop there is no better option in the market considering comfort, build quality and battery life. I've also tried for a month or so the logitech g pro and the razer blackshark. Sadly mine died out of nowhere yesterday, got in touch with warranty and they are solving everything really fast.

I second these. They are great

Razer BlackShark V2 X normally 80$ has been on sale down to 50-60$cad I'd recommend this headset because I've been using it since 2023 and its still working. I've tried at least 10 different headsets from the 40-60$ cad range and nearly all of them broke within 6 months of daily use. The only exception would be some random brand named Bengoo GH1 from 2020, that cheap headset which looked like it was going to last 3 months survived almost 2 years.

I steal the headset from my wife, it's a Razer Blackshark V2. From my perspective, the audio is pretty good, the cushion doesn't hurt my ears after a long session of gaming and covers the outside noise in a good way. The mic is good, I configured it with the Razer app and so far it has clean audio. As my wife plays next to me I set up the configuration with a small range for voice recognition and I felt that the sound doesn't cut at the end of the phrases like happened with other studio mics. Plus I feel pretty with the pink color haha

If anyone is looking for wired, just get the black shark V2 X's. They work amazing for me and sound exceptionally crisp especially the mic for the price.

U might have got damaged one i use v2x and mic is great

I have these and 100% agree. Great sound quality for the price.

Well for starters, since he's calling the footsteps bass, he doesn't actually understand audio/the nuances of it that well, so I wouldn't stress over what the "best" headset would be. Since he pointed out bass, a Razer headset would probably fit him just fine. They're heavy on bass. The blackshark X is 100 US and go on sale often. The other models just add more features. They're on the V3 models currently, but iirc a V2 is just as fine

I had a blackshark and loved it until the hinges disintegrated on me. I currently have the steelseries and it's... Okay? Noise canceling is useless on it. Software is ass. Other than that it's pretty good. The hot swappable batteries is neat. If I could go back I'd probably get the Audeze Maxwell. However they're heavy and a little unwieldy (I tried my friends on).

All I said was it has a great mic. I mentioned in another reply that the headband hinge disintegrated on me. My viper has lasted me 4 years with frequent travel and is still going strong. Get off your high horse.

Always try to go for the xbox wireless first. I couldn't get one because they were all sold out so I got a Razer Blackshark V2 and has worked perfectly.

Ok, so first of all, let me give you some context: Around 10 years ago, I had the Sennheiser PC363D for gaming. For me it was almost all I wanted: Excellent sound quality and positional sound, lightweight, comfortable, never made you sweat. I really liked it and it was also good for listening to music. But it had two problems: * First, the software was abandonware. Sennheiser stopped updating the drivers and those didn't work well on newer operating systems. * Second, the build quality was not good. It was made of cheap plastic, and after 10 years of heavy use, it was starting to fall apart, specially the flexible rubber of the mic boom. So, when I relocated 5 years ago I sold it. Surprisingly, someone paid for it more than what I paid for it new, because the guy really wanted it. I then got (yeah, I'm an idiot) a wired Razer Blackshark. Not only the sound quality is waaay worse than the PC363D, but the rails to adjust the ribbon band are crap, and the Razer software is horrible: Buggy as hell, and in the past it attempted to install cryptominers. I had it for a few years to recoup my investment, but it is time to let it go. This time I do not want to repeat the mistake, and want a proper headset. I've read good things about the **Beyerdynamic MMX** **~~300~~** **330 Pro**, and I'm also considering the **Audio Technica ATH-M50xSTS**. I owned the normal ATH-M50x at the same time I owned the PC363D, and honestly I thought the PC363D sounded better with most music and games. Is the MMX ~~300~~ 330 Pro as good or better than the PC363D was? Any other contender? My sole requirement is that any recommendation has an integrated mic and equals or surpasses thr PC363D in sound quality for gaming and media. I do not care jack or USB. Detachable cables and mic are a nice to have. Price is not a problem (within the gaming realm), but please do not recommend me some crazy expensive audiophile headset of >500€ because it is not what I need. I am also not interested in gaming crap, such as Logitech headsets. I got one once because it was what all review websited highlighted as "best gaming headset" and I returned it inmediately. Crappy plastic toy with white noise and money spent on rainbow leds. Thank you if you read so far! Edit: there were a couple of typos in my original post. While I originally wrote MMX 300 Pro, I really meant MMX 330 Pro (the newer, open end version). Edit 2: my motherboard has the Realtek ALC4080, which seems to be fine driving headsets up to up to 600Ω. If possible, I'd like to avoid having to buy a separate and big and bulky DAC because my desk is very crowded already. If it is something small like the DAC which came with the P363D (similar to a USB dongle) then it is ok.

Out of those I would probably also choose the cloud III. The blacksharks are a lot boomier and bassier (not necessarily in a good way), but if you like that kind of sound you could try them out as well. Hyperx is just overall more balanced.

I bought a set of razer blackshark v2 x and the mic stopped working indefinitely once i put my controller on the charger, got a replacement and the same exact issue happened again (controller low on battery, i hook up the usb charger, mic goes off and never works again even if i remove the charger, the PS doesnt even detect that i have a mic no more, if i hook up another headset they work just fine). Returned it and got a refund

Razer blacksbark V2X good mic and sound

just bought the blackshark and its super amazing!.I am all hearing now and not to mention its super comfy.Its also a beast with thx spatial audio software.

RAZER BLACKSHARK V2 (available in both USB & 3.5mm) the best, i've both usb & 3.5mm (recently bought this for 2800rs). build quality, sound, mic, and very light. Wirelesss version are around 6K if u can increase your budget.

Got he razor blackshark v2 and it sucks ass, the comofort is perfect, but the audio and mic is horrible. Got the xbox one as well, sound is much better, mic is okay but a little quiet. Comfort is meh.

I've used the razer Blackshark v2 X with my series x for a good while, it has a decent build quality and great sound for the price :)

Blackshark has a great mic. My current steelseries mic is pretty good too. I was once on the headphones plus seperate mic train, however I said fuck it and realized as of late the "gamer" headsets have about everything I need in them, albeit audiophile quality which most people don't care much about anyway.

I have 2 or these. Most confy for long gaming session and battery is also a monster. Better than my Asus, or Steelseries ones IMO. No ANC but you are blasting audio anyway.

Buy the Razor blackshark v2 X. Great sound and bass, and they are $50 or less

the '**Razer BlackShark V2 X Gaming Headset**' is a really good one for under $150 with really good sound quality and cushioning and it has really good mic quality aswell.

i'd say [razer blackshark ](https://amzn.in/d/0olHxlu)

Personally, I stopped using "gaming headsets" a while ago. Over the years, I've tried various ones (Razer BlackShark V2, HyperX Cloud (can't remember the exact model), SteelSeries Arctis 7) and concluded that they all have terrible sound quality and are uncomfortable to wear for long periods of time. Pretty much the only time I used them was when I needed the mic for voice communication. Outside of that, I've been using an AKG K7xx and Sennheiser HD6xx, both from Massdrop, with an external USB DAC and amplifier - in my case, an O2+ODAC and an SDAC - also both from Massdrop. Both of these work fine both in Linux and Windows. A year ago or so, I got a desk microphone (Elgato Wave:3) for voice communications so I wouldn't have to use the horrible gaming headsets at all anymore. Currently using the Elgato Wave:3 as well as a Fifine AM8 (in two different locations), and both work fine with Linux as well. If I was to personally recommend something, it would be to get a decent headphone, such as Sennheiser HD6xx (or HD650, which is almost the same but probably easier to get if Massdrop isn't currently selling HD6xx) and DAC+amplifier, and a desk microphone for voice communication if needed. It'll be a bit more expensive than a gaming headset, and not wireless, but the difference in comfort and audio quality is massive.

Razer Blackshark V2. They aren't expensive. Great sound quality and mic quality. Fit over glasses nice.

I had Razer headsets like Krakens ,few different Blackshark and never ever had this problem. The only problem I have with Razer is their garbage Synapse.

I prefer the wiree razar black shark v2 they are sooo amazing and the sound quality is by far the best out of the 10 headsets I tried and returned..
