Razer BlackShark V2 X PlayStation Gaming Headset 50mm Drivers - Cardioid Mic - Lightweight - Comfortable Noise Isolating

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 Quality When 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 Quality I 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 Quality Here'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. Conclusion The 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. Read more

This headset has been fantastic. The sound quality is crisp and immersive thanks to the 50mm drivers, and you can really hear the difference in games where directional audio matters. Voices come through clearly, and the bass hits without being muddy. It’s lightweight and comfortable, even for longer sessions, and the mic picks up your voice cleanly without background noise. My husband and I both tried it, and we were impressed with how clear everything sounded. For the price, the quality is excellent. Easy to use, great audio, and super comfortable — exactly what you want in a gaming headset. Read more

I was skeptical when purchasing a headset at this price, but the Razor BuckShark ended up being a gem. The headset is comfortable and lightweight with just a good old-fashioned volume knob on one side. No fiddling around with finding hidden buttons. I feel the audio quality is quite good and has enough power for clarity. The high quality is about what you would expect, but very clear and suitable for gaming/normal voice audio. Finally the only thing that worried me was the fact that it wasn't cordless and I wondered if the cable would be long enough. Well both the cable and splitter extension are quite long and I was happy the cable is soft wrapped. All in all a very good product. Read more

I think for the price I bought this for, they are an excellent headset. They are comfortable, sounds good(including listening to music), have adequate noise suppression/cancelling, and the mic quality is amongst the best for a “gaming headset”. The only things I would critique about this is its effectiveness in gaming purposes. I personally don’t like gaming with headsets that have noise cancelling. I like to be aware of my surroundings irl in the case that someone needs my attention and this headset tends to block that out. Another thing is how difficult it is to gauge your talking volume due to the noise suppression. This is a problem I didn’t realize I would run into, but I don’t think it is big enough to dislike the headset overall. In the end, these things are more so preferences and if you don’t mind them, this headset would be an excellent choice for you Read more

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I honestly wasn’t expecting to be this impressed, especially for $29.99. These Razer headphones feel like they should cost way more than they do. From the moment I opened the box, I could tell this was a quality product. The packaging was super clean, neat, and well organized — everything was protected and presented really nicely. The build quality is solid. The materials don’t feel cheap at all, and the headphones themselves feel durable while still being very lightweight. I can wear them for long periods without any discomfort, which is a huge plus. The audio is phenomenal for this price range. The sound is clear, balanced, and surprisingly powerful. Whether I’m gaming, listening to music, or watching videos, everything sounds crisp and immersive. Overall, this is easily one of the best pairs of headphones you can get for the money. For $29.99. ( at the time I bought ) the value here is incredible. Great sound, solid materials, lightweight comfort, and excellent presentation. I would definitely buy them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for an affordable but high-quality head Read more
