As an Avid gamer, the right pair of headphones was essential. I felt like every time I got a pair, they would be broken in half or stop working within 3 months of use. It should come as no shock that when I began the search for headphones that lead me to the Razer BlackShark, my main focus was durability. This pair was different from most dollar store headphones and many other brands you can find on Amazon. Featuring a metal shell, these headphones can withstand countless accidental drops (and if you are a rage gamer, perhaps a few throws). What is surprising is that even though these headphones could take a beating, durability is not even the main feature. At the time of purchase, they were a preferred pair of headphones for eSports and other professional gamers. They still offer the sound quality needed to hear everything you need to in games; A quality mic as far as in-line mics go; and surround sound capabilities. Not to mention other nifty features like a volume nob on the headset (in-line ones tend to be faulty), mute button, and easy adjustability. It is hard to find a great headset that does everything this one does, is also very durable, and at a price point around $60. Razer products can be hit or miss at times but these headphones are the best I have ever purchased. I still use them when I play game or when I want to watch YouTube or listen to music in solidarity and they only have a few minor cosmetic scratches. Read more
I’ve been using the Razer BlackShark V2 X PlayStation headset for a few weeks now and I’m honestly impressed. The sound quality is incredibly clear, especially for competitive games, and the cardioid mic picks up my voice perfectly without background noise. Super lightweight and comfortable even during long gaming sessions. Definitely worth it. The headset feels premium despite being so lightweight. The noise isolation helps a lot when I want to focus. For the price, it’s hard to beat. Read more
I’ve been using this headset daily, and I’m really happy with it. The audio quality is crisp, with good bass and clear voice detail. The microphone is surprisingly good people can hear me without background noise. It’s lightweight and comfortable, even after hours of use, and the battery lasts a long time before needing a charge. For gaming, calls, or music, it’s a reliable and well-built headset. Read more
The Razer BlackShark V2 X is an outstanding budget-friendly gaming headset. It focuses on the essentials: excellent, detailed sound performance (especially with 7.1 enabled), and lightweight comfort built for endurance. If you can live without the removable mic and the upgraded spatial audio of the more expensive models, the V2 X offers 90% of the competitive experience for a fraction of the cost. It is highly recommended for gamers seeking a reliable, comfortable, and audibly sharp companion across all their gaming devices. Pros: Extremely lightweight and comfortable memory foam cushions. Excellent audio detail and competitive clarity via Razer TriForce drivers. 7.1 Surround Sound (PC) significantly enhances spatial awareness. Universal 3.5mm jack for maximum platform compatibility. Cons: Microphone is non-removable (only bendable). Lacks the premium build materials and THX Spatial Audio of the V2 Pro. Read more
Awesome affordable headset that still has great quality. I like that they connect with aux so you don’t have to worry about charging them and they can be compatible with multiple devices. The noise cancelling is really good, I barely hear any outside noise with these on. The microphone is good quality too. Mute button is a little confusing but most applications allow you to mute yourself on screen anyway. Read more
Perfect for my big ears! It's light and very comfortable. Audio is great and it has soft cushioning for the top of your head. The only negative is that it gets my ears really hot but it's not horrible and it doesn't warrant a deduction in Stars. I would definitely buy another one. I can honestly say it's better than my turtle beaches. Read more
In the short time I've used them, they're fantastic. The sound is immersive; I've used them especially for competitive shooters, and they're wonderful for hearing enemy footsteps—perfect. The microphone is also very good; it suppresses noise very well, and the sound is clear and smooth. Honestly, for this price, you can't get anything better. PD: I tried the 7.1 surround sound designed for competitive games, but I didn't like it because it created unnecessary noise and made it difficult to concentrate. However, it's excellent for movies.

These are comfortable, fit well, don't make my ears sweat, and sound good. That said, I occasionally get an odd noise from the headset. I'd thought at first it was the cable maybe pulling or tapping or something, but I found after several attempts for minutes at a time that the headset itself is making the noise. Maybe it's the slide adjust on each ear cup, or maybe it's just the way the cups and band have to flex for the shape of my head, I don't know. I do know that I can turn my head or look down at the keyboard and it'll make a noise like its maybe loose or something plastic-on-rubber is rubbing or tapping or something. It's very brief, and is kinda amplified by the cups of the headset when it happens, and it doesn't happen every single time I move my head (but often enough that I noticed it). It's been a few weeks now and I've become accustomed to the sound when it happens, I don't notice it so much anymore. But it's still annoying when it happens. Other than that, they sound nice, and the 7.1 simulator software seems to do a good job (free download with purchase). Overall I'm pretty satisfied and would likely purchase again if I needed to.
