Let me preface by stating I am reviewing the Blackshark v2 pro. Sometimes amazon combines similar item reviews, this is important and that I have owned this for over a year with consistent usage, using it multiple days a week for 1-8 hours. This thing has a lot going for it with very few downsides that in my opinion do not outweigh the pros and if you can get this for $150 or less it is 100% worth it. Pros - Noise cancellation is so strong, sometimes I don't hear my wife when she calls for me. She was the one who bought this for me lol - Sound quality through synapse can be adjusted to your liking, and I can't recommend it without it (kind of a con) - Incredibly comfortable even with glasses. There is a lot of good padding on the head and ears, prior headsets this was always an issue, recently before this I owned a corsair void elite and even that wasn't perfect, but it was close in this category. - Battery life is actually really strong, just be sure to charge it after each usage. I've only ever gotten this to low battery where it beeps at me if I use it for 10-12 hours without charging it. Sometimes thats a long gaming day sometimes thats multiple days. I'm pretty good about keeping things charged, so this isn't a pain point for me, but may be for you. That said you can charge while using it. - Removable microphone, probably not a huge deal for most, but I use these as headphones not a headset. I use an external USB mic for better quality (I'll get into that later). - Ability to use this with 3.5mm port. I wouldn't recommend this without the USB function, as the USB DAC it comes with is decent enough and having used it without it, this is where it fails, but I'm labeling the 3.5mm port as a pro in case you have a multipurpose headset in mind - THX 7.1, now this is just virtual surround sound but in the couple games I have tried, notably monster hunter world, it performs really well, its weird to get used to but its done well enough. Not a huge selling point, you can get this elsewhere, but noted. Cons - Without the USB DAC and synapse you are losing a lot of potential. This thing is really good for sound quality once you configure it, but on it's own it's horrible, this is why I did not get the wired version of the blackshark v2 with just 3.5mm. - Microphone quality isn't great, its honestly worse than most and for $180 it should be a lot better, this is why I use an external mic. Unless you're yelling, your friends will probably say you're quiet. - Intermittent disconnects, unsure if this is a hardware, connection or synapse issue but it happens infrequently it doesn't bother me, but should be noted. - Synapse, I swear I've had issues with every gaming software (ghub, icue, synapse) but recently synapse has been a pain. I love iCUE (or did) but hate corsair software, but if synapse continues to get worse I will look elsewhere for another headset. Overall, if I had to buy this thing again I'd do it for $130 or so. I wouldn't spend $180, I'd just get professional wired headphones, but this thing has a lot going on that it made it worth it to me. I recommend these headphones to anyone who is in the market for a wireless headset in this budget range who doesn't hold grudges against razer. In that niche, I think its perfect.

I have absolutely no complaints about this headset. I love the solid black color. It has been my favorite that I have ever used by far. It fits over my ears comfortably. It is comfortable after many hours of wearing it; some days I will even wear it all day and into the night as I work round the house. It has long range and picks up signal from my computer even when I'm about 30 feet outside of my house before it starts losing signal. People who have heard me use the mic say that it sounds crisp and just like I'm in-person speaking to them. In the past, I have used multiple different Razer headsets - including many versions of the Kraken heaset. I love how comfortable this headset is compared to those and I love that the mic can be detached. The battery life of this headset is also quite long. I can use it for several days before needing to charge it. It is easy to use and you can adjust the settings with the Razer programs. This heaset has a button on the side above the power button to mute your mic; I have appreciated and frequently use this button. Tapping the power button once also pauses the video or music that I'm currently playing. I have had this headset since September 2023, and it is still high quality just like the day I purchased it.

I was fortunate enough to get this on launch day. While not a perfect headset, there are noticeable improvements over the old version. No idea why they still call it V2 when this is technically their 3rd version of the Blackshark Pro. Anyway... The 2023 edition adds Bluetooth, but it's not simultaneous. You can play games wirelessly, then switch to answer a phone call. Once you hang up, it resumes playing game audio again. You can't hear both at the same time unfortunately. They also have built in EQ presets now which is great. Single press on right button toggles through several presets. A long press puts it in Esports mode, which includes custom EQs for Valorant, Apex, Call of Duty, Fortnite, etc. You do not need Synapse software to use this, which means Playstation players can enjoy many EQ options! You can even create a custom EQ with Synapse and save it to the headset for future console use as well. Build quality is improved, with thicker sliders for headset size adjustment. They are much smoother to adjust and should hold up much better over time. I made a custom EQ that I've added to the images I posted. This tunes the headset closer to the Harman curve, which sounds great, but I left a slight bass lift to preserve that fun Blackshark sound. They removed the Aux input that use to be on the old Blackshark V2 Pro. Battery life is a whopping 70 hours now. The mic is significantly better sounding BUT the noise gate is rather aggressive, even if you disable it in Synapse software. My friends said my voice kept cutting out when I was playing Warzone with them. If you are a soft spoken person or play games late at night, people may not hear you clearly with this headset. The sound profile is punchy with a heavy dose of warm bass. It carries into the mid range, leaving things slightly boxy sounding. The mid range is recessed slightly, and the treble is rather smooth overall. There is a pretty sharp treble spike at 7k-8khz though, and it's made worse if you enable THX in Synapse. Luckily some of the presets dial this back, and you can reduce 8khz treble with custom EQ. If you have a Nova 7 and find it too shouty or abrasive sounding, then you'll love the Blackshark V2 Pro. It images well in FPS games, but lacks the forward detail and precision that I get with the Nova 7 and Stealth 700 Gen 2 max. The sound stage is rather closed off, making this headset have an intimate sound profile. It can still be competitive in all game genres, but this isn't the best footstep headset at $200 or less. Comfort, like the prior generation Blackshark v2 Pro, is excellent. I gamed on them for hours at a time without any issues or discomfort. The clamp is light, as is the weight, and it even works well with glasses. Definitely close to a solid 10 on comfort. My only two disappointments were the Razer Synapse software, which gave me a lot of issues during setup just to make this work properly on PC. This shouldn't be happening any more considering how long Synapse has been out, yet here I am still having issues with it. I couldn't get Synapse to update, then it wouldn't detect the headset. When I finally got it working, sometimes the EQ changes wouldn't work at all, and I was stuck with the same EQ profile. The mic sounds incredible, but you need to be a fairly strong spoken person. This isn't well suited for the soft and quiet speakers out there. As a quick note - This does not work on Xbox in any way. The older one did via the 3.5mm aux cable to the controller, but that isn't an option any more. There is also no game to chat mix support, even on PC, which is also a bummer. Several models in this price range offer both of those features. All in all, if you want a cozy sound with bass that hugs you, excellent comfort, and flexible EQ options, this is one of the best sub $200 options on the market, especially for PS5 players. This headset allows you to use all the EQ options on Playstation, and supports their Tempest 3D Audio. If you want a lot of flexibility for cross platform or wireless options, then this isn't the best deal. It's not perfect, but I can see many people liking it.

Date of this review is 24-11-13. "Razer BlackShark V2 Pro Wireless Gaming Headset 2023 Edition" purchased 24-11-21. Warranty replacement (product review after this section): 1. I thought these had 1 year warranty. It's actually 2-year warranty. 2. Reviews on here had me apprehensive going into warranty support chat because reviews stated this damage is not covered under warranty. 3. 100% covered under warranty. I spoke to Razer support and after initial registration, (upload proof of purchase and images from this review of the damage ~30m of my time) I got in queue for chat support. I had the most pleasant chat with support agent Camelle than I have had with support for other products and services with other companies all year. AAA top notch help. They asked me a few more questions and then gave me RMA to get *new* headphones sent out to me. Free returns, free sending out to me. I'm at the shipping out stage and will update my review accordingly as time goes on. Images uploaded: The first two are images of the broken part on the left earpiece. The agent seems to have been aware of the issue and they identified it as the yoke (connector between the headband and earpiece) that broke. The third image is the hook I keep it on when the headphones are not on my head. I don't even wear it on my neck because the earpieces are too large. The fourth pic is of the plastic on the right side earpiece that is visibly cracked. This is from normal use. I do not drop or chuck around the headphones when not in use. I have a hook. They're either on my head or on the hook when not in use. If Razer reads this, replace that plastic cap with an aluminum one. That should resolve this issue without adding much weight to it. Product review: These have been the most comfortable wireless headsets I have worn in a long time. It's got good clasp strength. They're not too tight, not too loose that they will fall off. I have gotten compliments how well my mic sounds and the audio is very nice. I recommend these headphones, if not for the sound and comfort, then for the stand up warranty and support they have behind their products.

La batería le dura muchísimo, son super comodos y se escucha excelentes! Muy recomendables aparte de bonitos!

Great headphones. The audio quality is amazing, good fit and they perform consistently for longer sessions. I couldn't be happier with them. We will see durability but so far they looks very promising.

Tras 9 meses de uso puedo decir que son de los mejores audifonos que existen, son comodos y tienen un buen audio, en cuanto al THX SPATIAL AUDIO no puedo decir que sea la gran cosa porque solo es un filtro de audio que aumenta o disminuye el sonido de los deciveles con el que se escucha y el audio 3D es muy bueno, si bien solo juego CSGO y Minecraft en PC puedo saber todo lo que ocurre. Se logra escuchar una pequeña estatica cuando el sonido de los audifonos esta al minimo en la rueda de los mismos asi como tambien si esta al maximo, por ello recomendaria utilizarlos con la rueda a la mitad a menos de que no puedan subir el volumen de otra manera. Con el tiempo y los meses el bajar y subir las orejeras se vuelve mas ligero y eso no es muy bueno, las almohadillas se gastan con el tiempo y se vuelven mas suaves pero no se da cuenta uno hasta que ve uno que tenga almohadillas nuevas. El microfono solo lo he utilizado en caso de emergencia y se agradece bastante que sea remobible debido a que de esa forma es demasiado facil comer sin ensuciar nada. La bateria si dura aproximadamente las 18 horas que RAZER promete, aunque yo recomendaria cargar los audifonos cada que se pueda y configurarlos para que se apaguen de manera automatica despues de 15 minutos. El software no es necesario usarlo debido a que se guarda en la memoria de los audifonos a no ser de que se quiera utilizar THX SPATIAL AUDIO pero yo no lo recomiendo. La conectividad si es un tema a mejorar debido a que despues de un tiempo los audifonos se empiezan a desconectar automaticamente si no esta colocado el USB en la manera correcta y los audifonos esten cerca, de igual forma se desconecta pero uno se puede acostumbrar con el tiempo. En consola no los he usado demasiado pero funcionan a la perfeccion y los problemas de conectividad desaparecen. Lo unico que si no me agrada en nada es que al conectar los audifonos en otro puerto USB diferente al que se conecto aparecen como otro sistema de audio y se configuran con un 100% de volumen. Esto no desaparece si se coloca un multipuertos. En cuanto a los cables que tiene, cuenta con un USB para cargarlo y un 3.5mm que es demasiado corto, personalmente pienso que es demasiado corto a diferencia de su version cableada

Bisher bin ich wirklich Beeindruckt. Es hat eine super Klang Qualität und ist auch sehr leicht zu tragen. Auch das Design gefällt mir gut. Mit meinem vorherigen hatte ich ziemliche Verbindungsprobleme (Razer Kraken Kitty) das habe ich bei diesem nicht. Ich bin sehr zufrieden☺️
