Razer BlackShark V2 X Gaming Headset: 7.1 Surround Sound - 50mm Drivers - Memory Foam Cushion - For PC, PS4, PS5, Switch - 3.5mm Audio Jack - BlackECOLOGO

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.

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.

I recently got a pair of gaming headphones, and I’m honestly really impressed. The sound quality is excellent — crisp highs, deep bass, and great spatial audio that really helps in competitive games. The microphone is also clear, which is perfect for team communication. They’re comfortable to wear even during long gaming sessions, and the build quality feels solid. Overall, I’m very happy with them — definitely a great choice for any gamer.

I got the Razer BlackShark V2 X for my 13-year-old son’s birthday, and it was a huge hit! Right out of the box, the headset feels sturdy yet super lightweight. The comfort level is fantastic — he can wear it for hours without any complaints.The sound quality is outstanding with the 50mm drivers, making his games more exciting and immersive. The noise-isolating earcups really help block out distractions, and the cardioid microphone picks up his voice clearly without much background noise. He uses it across different platforms like Xbox, PC, and Switch easily with the 3.5mm jack.Overall, this headset exceeded my expectations. Great quality, comfort, and performance at a reasonable price. Would definitely recommend it for any young gamer!

Easy install and use, plug and play, very sturdy and comfortable for hours of play, sleek design, easy connection and wire length, noise canceling and game changing! Different inputs to work with computer, speakers, and console!
