Great quality, very comfortable on the head and ear, adjustable and good sound

---Unboxing / Setup--- The Razer BlackSharrk V2 Pro Wireless Gaming Headset for PS5 is a very simple product to get up and running. Inside the box Razer includes the headset itself, detachable mic, a USB-C 2.4hz wireless receiver and a small USB-A to USB-C cable, presumable intended for charging. That's it. To setup and use the headset on a PS5 you simply need to plug in the USB-C wireless receiver into the front of the PS5 USB-C port, power on the headset by pressing the button on the left ear cup, listen for the human recorded voice that says "power on" and that's it. If you have your PS5 set to not autodetect between audio inputs,. you'll need to go into the audio settings and select "headset" as the output preference. Otherwise, you're off to the races. On the Switch, the experience is more or less similar. Plug in the wireless receiver, ensure audio output is switched to headset and you're off to the races. On PC, it's a mostly straight forward affair with a couple things to note: Since this headset is PS5 "specific" there is no Razer Synapse support on PC. The audio is controlled strictly from Windows itself. Plugging in the wireless receiver into a USB-C port allows Windows to show up as "BolackShard V2 Pro PS 2.4" in the sound settings panel. Click on that and make sure you select "Windows Sonic for Headphones" under the "Spatial sound" setting in order to get the most from this headset. The headband is easy to adjust for proper sizing, Simply moving the cups up or down on the slider until things fit snug was easy. I found the distance between smallest to largest was excellent and will accommodate just about any head size. --Performance-- Sound is very good on all 2 platforms. Things sound best with Playstation's 3D spatial audio which this headset has specific support for. Sony has done an amazing job with this technology and the Razer headset was excellent as reproducing immersive directional sound. It was very easy to tell foot step direction, explosion direction, etc. when playing any game that supports "home theatre" or "spatial audio" affects. PC things weren't too shabby either, Windows Sonic for Headphones does a pretty decent job at directional audio too. I found it wasn't as immersive and accurate as the PS5, but it still allowed for the ability to sense where a competitor was coming. It's worth noting that the BlackShark V2 Pro also supports Windows Sonic natively. The Nintendo Switch was also good, though the least exciting of the 3. Directional audio worked to a point, but I find the soundstage of the Switch to be a bit more "flat' than the PS5 or the PC. This isn't the headsets fault thought and a limitation of Switch hardware and that there is no specific spatial audio tech that this headset supports for the Switch specifically. Sounds was overall good. This headset tends to favor mids and highs the most. Sound is sharp and detailed. I found this headset lacked a low end frequency and things that should go "BOOM" were a bit flattened out. Sound was also much harsher on the PS5 than the PC or switch which went a little more "warm". I expect this is due to this being a very PS5 specific headset with the other 2 simply being "plug and play" options. Overall, sounds was great from a gaming perspective, but I would not want to watch movies or listen to music with this headset. The detachable mic is a nice addition and it can be removed when not in use. Mic picks up vocals very well and I got good feedback from friends while chatting with them in game. There is also a button on the left ear cup to mute the mic input. There is also a volume adjustment dial on the left ear cup for easy volume adjustment. On the right ear cup is a "mode" button that cycles between various sound EQ modes, such as game, movie, etc. I didn't find each EQ setting to offer a substantial difference over the next, though game was more sharp and punchy while movie offered a little more low end frequency, but not much. The headset is very light weight and I did not notice any fatigue while wearing it. It was very comfortable as well. The ear cups are cloth material, so they may cause you to swear a bit if you run hot. They were breathable enough not to bother me at all and my head remained very comfortable. So far I've used these for a total of 8 hour and have not had to charge them once. I'm not sure how long battery actually lasts, but so far it seems stellar. There are no RGB lighting or noise cancellation on these headphones. They're just basic, easy to use, decently sounding headphones aimed at core gamers who don't need any non-essential features. This is overall a solid headset and if you simply want a good sounding pair of gaming headphones with no fuss setup, this is certainly one to consider. I appreciate the folks at Razer allowing me to review the BlackShark V2 Pro Wireless Gaming Headset for PS5. I will enjoy getting much use out of these across my multiple platforms!

Excellent product, I’ve had it for a year and it’s still working great. No delays and really good quality.

Great Headset, Super Clear Microphone But For Some Reason The Plastic Piece That Holds The Headset Together Chipped Off After A Few Days Of Wearing.. Other Than That No Complaints At All.

design/ features - unboxing the razer blackshark v2 pro is fairly simple the design is literally I dentical on last year blackshark v2 pro but this time on console for ps5/ XSX support what I have the for the PS5 and PC support I happen to have both, the design finish of the headset is beautiful love the traditional razer black color it also doesn’t scream gamer headset so I do appreciate that a lot. very light headset with one major volume nob on the left side and small remaining power button/ sync button, preset and mute button all on the headset. we also have razer latest hyper clean super wide band microphone. with titanium 50mm drivers. comfort - razer blackshark v2 pro is equipped with with ultra soft memory foam, they do feel great when you feel them for the first wrapping around your ear is very comfortable this gaming headset is way more comfortable than my beats headset when it comes to ear comfort. at the top of the headset you also have memory on upper portion of your head. was hoping the ear covers are removable but nope. you won’t be able to replace it in the future. it’s stay cool from gaming on long session this definitely one of the most comfortable headset i’ve ever tried audio quality - when it comes to audio quality im not quite sure how I feel. not sure if razer technology actually does something different that you can hear. plugging with the PS5 god of war. and The Finals I didn’t have any issue recognizing certain small audio queue. fishing my self adjusting a bit more than I would think or what i was used to. i’ve tried all the stock preset it offer right from the get go and I just always leave it on game mode. the headset offer great audio quality and was a joy to listen to. I ask my friends if the voice quality sounded good which they responded yes it’s good and clear. good job razer I think you guys offer a great microphone with this one. connectivity - after testing on PS5 decided to play and test it on PC this time playing the new release Gray Zone Warfare. one issue that i’m still currently having with this headset is the connectivity for Razer own synapse to recognize the blackshark v2 pro. my pc have the latest firmware version and double check but this the first razer product that would not show up on synapse. I couldn’t create any custom EQ so that was frustrating. I’m guessing this console version/ PC doesn’t support it? overall I just connected the headset using the dongle and it just connected flawlessly battery - battery hours razer claim blackshark v2 pro offers 70 hrs of game play. I made sure to fully charge the product first before gaming. overall throughout the time I tested it I didn’t have to charge the headset so far. also I didn’t get to burn 70 hrs on this maybe 40 hrs max and still going strong. conclusion - I love razer products I have a good amount of accessories from keyboard/ mouse blackshark v2 pro is a great comfortable headset memory foam help a lot and the weight of the product I love how someone this headset look. the audio sounded great with 50mm drivers that immersive you. the issue with connecting to synapse was a little disappointing. I even tested and downloaded razer utility app to show up but no success. overall it’s still a solid headset for console user and pc gamers out there. I still recommend this but if you’re a pc gamer and want that extra feature might wanna test it and see maybe it’s only my headset issue. feel like I missed out on some features that I could have tap into

Great headset my girlfriend loves the options it has for sound and bluetooth

So I've been gaming with the Razer Blackshark V2 Pro headset for the past week or so, and I've been pretty impressed. Are they perfect? No, but they are an excellent value. Build Quality : Is excellent and although I thought about giving these a 4 star rating, the build quality of this headset made me raise it to a 5 star rating and recommendation. The earfuls are made of a very strong plastic. They do not creak or feel cheap. They feel tough while remaining lightweight. The padding is soft but I wish it was a little more comfortable. They behave like memory foam but the pads aren't very thick and after a while my ears become a little fatigued. But I use it as a reminder to take a break, take the headset off and stretch and walk around a bit. The headband feels and smells like leather. It's probably faux leather, but it sure feels nice. There is a volume know on the left ear cup which makes volume adjustment quick and easy. There is also a microphone mute button next to the power button. On the right side there is a button that allows you to goggle between 4 audio presets. "Custom" , "Music " , "Games" , and "Movies". The presets sound great and I haven't felt the need to tweak the custom sound too much. I've enjoyed watching movies with these just as much as I've enjoyed gaming with them. The microphone is very impressive, it is a high quality microphone. My friends all said my voice came through loud and clear in our game chats. I don't know if I would use it exclusively to stream with, but in a pinch.. I think it is perfectly fine for live streaming and game commenting / recording. As far as gaming headsets go, these are amongst the best I've tested and gamed with recently. Explosions are booming, guns thud loudly. Voices sound crisp and music also sounds impressive. They do have that digital sounding "explosive crunch" when playing games with lots of explosions and gunfire in your surroundings. It is probably a software thing though, caused by the video games I play or the consoles I game on. The dongle is an odd shape but it plugs into the front of the PS5 and pairs automatically and seamlessly. The dongle will also work with a PC and the Nintendo switch. My only real complaint with these headphones are that my ears get tired when using these for long sessions. Your mileage may vary though! The cups could use a thicker memory foam pad. Would I recommend this headset? For sure! I know competition is very fierce in the gaming headset space, but I think this headset is an excellent value. They are compatible with PC, PS5 and Nintendo switch. They have 50mm drivers and a Wideband microphone. They sound great and battery life is awesome. If these are on your shortlist, check them out!

Razer BlackShark V2 Pro for PS5 Review _Overview_ Razer consistently sets the standard in the gaming community, and the BlackShark V2 Pro for PS5 upholds this reputation. This headset excels in FPS gaming on the PS5, offering enhanced features over its predecessors, such as an upgraded microphone and dual compatibility with PS5 and PC via a USB-C 2.4GHz dongle. It also supports Nintendo Switch and other Bluetooth devices, broadening its utility. _Unboxing and Setup_ The headset comes in a white and blue box, matching the PS5 accessory aesthetic, and includes a USB cable, microphone, and instructions. Setup is straightforward: Plug in the microphone and USB dongle, and you’re ready to go. The device syncs automatically, but if there's no sound initially, make sure it’s powered on and correctly set up. _Design and Build Quality_ The design is minimalist, like shooting range hearing protection with a knob and specifically tuned for FPS gaming. However, the build features the same plastic components as previous models, which raises durability concerns. Simple controls like the volume knob and mute switch are intuitively placed, but the plastic hinges and mounts could benefit from more robust materials to enhance longevity. _Comfort and Connectivity_ This headset excels in comfort. It’s lightweight, the clamping pressure is ideal, and the mesh-wrapped memory foam ear pads prevent heat buildup during long gaming sessions. Connectivity options include a USB Type C HyperSpeed wireless dongle and Bluetooth 5.2, but it lacks a 3.5mm jack, limiting its compatibility with legacy systems. Due to the console exclusivity, there is no compatibility with the Xbox if you own both systems—tough luck. _Sound Quality and Features_ The BlackShark V2 Pro delivers crystal-clear sound with customizable audio and mic EQ settings accessible directly from the headset. The microphone quality is top-notch, suitable for both gaming and professional use. The extensive EQ customization allows for tailored audio experiences for different gaming and media needs. _Battery Life_ The battery performance is impressive. It offers up to 70 hours of playtime on PC and up to 48 hours of PS5 time. It recharges fully in about 3.5 hours via USB-C, and Bluetooth functionality is available even during charging. _Notable Considerations_ The headset is limited to three device connections in the Quick Connect section of the app. Did I mention that the Razer Audio app is essential for full functionality? It is available only on iOS and Android. It also lacks PC Synapse support and is not Xbox compatible. +Pros+ Exceptional microphone quality. Long battery life and comfortable design. Reliable wireless audio with USB-C and Bluetooth 5.2. It is ideal for conference calls with passive noise canceling. -Cons- No 3.5mm jack No Xbox compatibility Limited software support for Mac and PCs. The design may not appeal to those seeking a fashionable option outside gaming. _Conclusion_ The Razer BlackShark V2 Pro is an excellent choice for PS5 gamers seeking high-quality audio with PlayStation Tempest 3D Audio support in an eSports-style headset. While its robust connectivity and sound quality are significant assets, its entirely plastic build may deter those who are tough on their gear. It is recommended for careful users looking for a top-tier FPS gaming audio experience.

The Razer BlackShark V2 Pro is the ultimate wireless headset designed for console play. This version is for PlayStation and there is another version for Xbox, oh and you can get it in black or white, either way this headset delivers crystal clear audio with advanced noise isolation plus and all day comfort. Let me briefly explain what I like about this amazing headset. About the Razer HyperClear Super Wideband Mic: The detachable 3.5mm mic captures an unbelievable amount of detail of my voice and it ensures clear communication with my team while gaming. The Razer TriForce Titanium 50 mm Drivers provide clear and powerful sound, best of all I can individually tune for highs, mids, and lows. They deliver brighter and clearer audio with richer highs and more powerful bass without being overwhelming. As for the Razer HyperSpeed Wireless Technology: I do enjoy the high performance, low latency competitive play with perfectly synced sound thanks to the 2.4GHz wireless connection, flawless. And talking about the connectivity, they can be connected via using the wireless dongle as well as Bluetooth so I can connect the set to my phone, laptop or other devices. The Pro Tuned FPS Audio Profiles: Endorsed by esports pros, these on headset audio profiles provide maximum positional sound information for the ultimate competitive edge. The noise-Isolating Earcups with Ultra-Soft Memory Foam: The closed earcups are super comfortable and sit well all day long on my head; they create a perfect seal to shut out background distractions. They have plush padding in breathable fabric that ensures comfort during long gaming sessions. Awesome Battery Life: A single full charge provides up to 70 hours of battery life on a single charge, so no down time and plenty of nonstop fun. Overall, they are crystal clear; they have amazing noise isolation, super comfortable for a long period use and best of all awesome battery life, ready to play nonstop.

TL:DR - Easily one of the most comfortable headsets I’ve ever tried. It’s compatible with PC, Bluetooth devices, and obviously PS5. It says it’s compatible with the Switch too, but don’t have one to try, but the PS5 is where I think it shines! I love the voice assistant letting me know some things like which EQ I’m using, and the sound is also really good! Easy recommendation. Spacial separation is really good! ---- Unboxing this device was a standard affair. Comes with your typical Razer stickers which is appreciated! Throw those on a water bottle for fun. But the real shine of this headset is how light weight and comfortable it is. It feels a little too light sometimes like you’re gonna bend the tiny little metal wire that is holding the headset cup in place to your head. I don’t like how flimsy it feels. The adapter is also L shaped so it doesn’t cover the other USB port on your PS5 which I really appreciate. But depending on your PC, it could be a problem. For me it covers either my power button or USB port and throwing it in the back is a non-starter for me! Luckily for me my intent is to use this with my PS5 and that’s where I think it shines. It prioritizes connectivity with the USB port on your PS5, so if you have it paired to your phone it will choose that over your phone which is good. It’d be super inconvenient to have to turn off BT just to play a PS5 game because chances are your phone is with you even when you’re planning on playing a game. The app I thought would annoy me, but NO account needed. Just download, pair the headsets to the app and blammo you’re ready to go! I paired it with my phone and had a phone call with my wife, the power button answers and hangs up phone calls which is nice. Just remember to unmute, she got annoyed with me pretty quickly before I realized I had mute on. Phone calls the mic sounds good, during gameplay my friends thought I sounded great! I love the base, and I seriously can’t get over the comfort! Razer did a phenomenal job with comfort. I took a day off to spend a day gaming and this thing is a battery champion! It seriously lasts SO long. I got through most of the day on a single charge. Playing from morning to early evening! Charging it however left some to be desired. It wasn’t fast. Anyway I had a lot of fun with this headset and didn’t get ear fatigue. Seriously that alone is worth high praise! The awesome sound, good mic, and platform versatility is just icing on the cake! Needless to say, I’m a fan and will get another for the Playstation 6 if it’s a thing.

The Razer BlackShark V2 Pro is an amazing gaming accessory for PS5 and PC users. From the moment I unboxed it, I knew I was in for a treat. The build quality is top-notch, with a sleek and comfortable design that fits perfectly on my head. The headset is made primarily of plastic with wireframe hinges and thick cushioned headbands. The memory foam earcups are super comfortable for extended gaming sessions. They are covered in cloth and mesh fabric that provide a soft non-clamping feel and provide a good seal. The headset uses Razers HyperSpeed 2.4 GHz wireless dongle technology, which provides smooth and clear sound with a lag-free wireless experience, ensuring your audio stays perfectly in sync with the on-screen action. The 50mm drivers combined with the noise isolating memory foam earcups create a truly immersive soundscape. Every footstep, gunshot, and explosion comes through with crystal clarity, giving you a crucial edge over your fellow gamers. The headset can also be used via Bluetooth connection and honestly, the HyperSpeed connection definitely makes a difference. I The detachable HyperClear Super Wideband mic ensures your voice is loud and clear to your teammates. One stand out feature for me was the battery life. The battery life on this headset is a whopping 70-hours, you can game for days on end without worry. I have not gamed even close to that many hour yet but I can tell you that I have used these for about a week now about 2 to 3 hours every day and I have yet to charge them and they are still going. Overall, the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro stands as a premium wireless headset, offering exceptional audio, clear conversations, and unparalleled comfort. It’s an ideal choice for PS5 gamers seeking a competitive edge and an immersive gaming experience. if you are in the market definitely check out this headset.

The Razer Blackshark V2 Pro headset is by far the best value for money spent I have ever owned. The microphone is absolutely crystal clear and picks up on very small voice inflections with ease. However, it also picks up background noise as though it's right up against the microphone so be sure to keep that in mind when recording or playing live. I have caught my childrens voices being recorded 4 rooms away with doors closed between myself and them. The speakers deliver very clear audio with accurate spatial sound and absolutely zero echo. The headphones themselves are incredibly comfortable on the ears and head. I have often suffered headaches or outer earaches due to lack of headphone comfort and these are a refreshing change. As of now, I have used these headphones for a total of about 20 hours (all on the inital charge, straight out of the box) and they are nowhere near needing a charge, nor have they caused any physical discomfort at all. It was so easy to connect them to my PS5 that it doesnt warrant any explanation besides a 2 year old could do it. Overall, I am completely impressed with every aspect of this product and will now end my search for the perfect headphones because I have found them.

These are hands-down, my favorite gaming headphones. Bluetooth and compatible with just about everything.I say just about because Microsoft just keeps getting the short end of the stick when it comes to bluetooth tech, In the Xbox side of things, that is. Now PC? That's a totally different story. These things work seemlessly on my gaming RIG. I can use the dongle or just simply sync them via the aforementioned bluetooth technology. I'm sure I've said "bluetooth" like a 100 times already. They connect to the Nintendo switch with no problems and PS5? Too easy. The 2023 version simply knocked it out of the park with mic's sound quality and these are no different, if not better. With a 70 hour(projected battery life, these things could go throughout your work-day and still be ready for an all-nighter, gaming session. Yes. They can link-up to you phone or tablet. How crazy is that? The only rl problem I have with these is the packaging. Only because I've always been a huge fan of green, and that's Razer's normal color scheme. But this particular box is something standard to a Playstation packaging. Like I said. Minor.They take no time to chargeand you can get a couple of good hours of gaming in on just a quick charge. They are so light, that yyou would think you were wearing a budget pair of headphones, but the build quality is a major go. The 50 mm drivers just baby the era lobes and I wear glasses and there's no problems there. I forget they're evven on sometimes, since I don't have to take them off to go get refreshments mid session. This was easiest 5 out of 5 I've ever given. And thy don't coome often for me. The pricetag is more than adequate for such high-end tech. These things hard to beat. The charging cable couldbe longer, but that's not even a complaint, given how long they last.

Razer BlackShark v2 Pro headphones are solid headphones to use for daily use. These headphones are made for Pro users of gaming giving you an experience that is unlike any other. I haven’t reviewed many headphones this year but so far, the ones that I have been good for gaming and causal use. The ear cups are soft, and the design is comfortable and ergonomic in the hands. Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz is supplied within the Razer BlackShark v2 Pro so you can connect to modern day devices. The design is more “industrial” than most headphones today but that’s a good thing. They survived drops on the ground and concrete thus far. The microphone is adjustable for better positioning. There is 70 hours of battery life with the PlayStation giving 48 hours; These headphones gave the desired target for battery life. Razer BlackShark v2 Pro sounds amazing when playing games giving a wide-raging 3D sound. These are much better than the headphones I’m currently using. Memory foam feels good on the ears, they are noise isolating which suppress the sounds well around the environment. The drivers are fantastic with awesome bass, there is clearly and finally some game headphones that get loud enough over Bluetooth. This v2 from Razer is Pro orientated as the microphone is clear and rich with sound on the other end. Teammates will be able to hear clearly. I love they charge rapidly, and you don’t have to wait for them to charge for hours. Razer BlackShark v2 Pro works on PS5, PC, and Nintendo Switch but I have not tried these headphones on a Switch just yet. For a Pro environment, these headphones are endearing to use. I mean they sound really nice, and I believe the rich sound will draw people in. 5/5 stars. Razer does seem to get better at sound.

I have tried so many gaming headsets. This Razer BlackShark V2 may be my favorite. The headset came packed professionally. Super well protected and everything was laid out perfectly. My first impression of the headset was excellent. The feel of the headset is top notch. You can tell that top of the line parts were used. The design and build are excellent. Comfort. What matters almost the most. Comfort is excellent. I have spent hours and hours wearing these and almost no discomfort. They feel great on my big head and I almost forgot I was wearing them. No real fatigue to note. Now for the sound quality. I put these headphones through many different types of games. Overall I found the sound quality excellent. I was able to distinguish the highs, mids, and lows. The bass response was excellent for most games. Dialogue was clear and concise. I found the headset produced balanced sound throughout. I’m a big bass guy and there was plenty for me. From action games and sports, to first-person shooters, the Razers held up great. They never missed a beat or sound. Not having to deal with wires is huge for many games. I noticed close to zero latency. All voices were perfectly synced and in time. Overall, these are top notch headphones and cover the full spectrum of gaming. I highly recommend them for any gamer for any type of game.

I like a multi-purpose headphone. I like to be able to use the same set for listening to music and viewing my favorite action movies that I use for gaming. Thus I expect a lot from my headphones. The Razor Blackshark V2 Pro wireless console esports headset is perfect for my needs. It is advertised for the PS5 but also works well with the PS4 or basically any tech device with Bluetooth. It is fast and easy to set up using blue tooth. The charging cord is very short but works well. The microphone is set in place. Meaning it is not able to be moved up or down. It has a microphone port to attach it so it is removable. I keep pulling it out by accident. I wish it would attach deeper into the headset. I hate little buttons that requires me to hit over and over to adjust the volume. This headset has a really nice volume knob. It is large enough to find and access quickly and efficiently. No more continuously hitting it to adjust it. I have added a photo of the knob. The headset itself is really nicely padded yet it is not hot when worn. It seems to let the air flow better than most headsets. However it does not feel balanced on my head. It feels top heavy. I wish it were more balanced. The ear cushions actually keep the sound from my device perfectly surrounded. It is so perfect that it is actually like I am in the game, movie or at the concert when listening to music. This headset top of the line and I do really like it with the exceptions listed above. I recommend it for gamers.

I bought this a year ago for my boyfriend as a christmas present and he LOVED it. He loves how the mic is detachable and how good the sound quality id. The headset does not make his head sore after wearing it for a long period of time, and he enjoys being able to clearly talk to his friends and hear them clearly. He also enjoys how it does not pick up on background noises like other mics do. I would recommend as a Christmas present especially if your boyfriend, brother, husband, etc. like to game or have an office job.

I was a bit hesitant to purchase this. I thought the price was a bit high, however, once I brought it home & used it, it convinced & probably pay even more if they asked. The mic is exactly what I’m looking for & it’s super comfortable. Not once have I needed to adjust it & some times forget I am wearing them. The volume is nice & the headphone is great. It’s not voice cancellation, though, you can’t hear through them. I love them & so glad I purchased it.

Excellent headphones. I own a pair, and purchased this additional set for my son. I highly recommend these. Comfortable, great sound and exceptionally long use between charges.

Got this as a gift for my best friend since he didn't have a mic and he loves it. I got to try it myself and the audio sounds great for the price and it's a super easy and comfortable headset to use. I would recommend for its price range against other competitors. I like this headset more than the playstation one.
