Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love the headset, it is comfortable for multiple hours of gaming. The EQ presets are pretty good I think you can adjust them through the razer app, I haven’t done that yet, theres no need to for me. The battery life is great I’ve barely charged the headphones twice within the couple months I’ve had them. Lastly the mic is great, I have a boom mic so I use that more but theres almost no need for it because the Blacksharks mic is phenomenal.

Every since receiving the headset as a gift it has been great! It's been comfortable to wear for hours at a time and has awesome audio. (You can hear everything even with music blasting) Maybe I was a little dumb but I had trouble of getting it to first connect but once I did I had no troubles. Anyways, if you need or want a headset this is definitely a choice to keep in mind :)

Noise cancellation is amazing; someone can be next to me talking and my friends cannot hear them. The mic is very strong and clear and the headphones have the easiest adjustable volume and muting options. They sit comfortably on my head and ears. 10/10 best gaming headphones.

Good audio, amazing mic quality (kids online mistake me for a youtuber because the mic sounds so good.) It can connect to bluetooth and pair to multiple devices at a time which is very convenient.

Great range, can easily reach 25ft through some walls and a floor. Sound is perfectly fine. Volume dial is a nice touch. The best festure by far is the crystal clear microphone. It is leagues better than anything else wireless, even the most top of the line.

Extremely comfortable and durable easy to use and charge im actually coming back to review this because im buying a second one for my wife lol thank you very much

Razer has been producing high quality gaming accessories for years and I have had good experiences with them, from gaming mice to headsets. This wireless headset is designed for XBOX but can also be used to connect to other devices with the included USB dongle. Pros: - I loved how easy set-up was. Everything connected and worked automatically. The dongle has a switch to toggle (XBOX or USB). I just had to make sure it was set to XBOX, plug it in using a USB adapter, turn on the headset, and my XBOX notified me that the headset was assigned to my account within seconds. - The volume control knob was a great design choice. Prior headsets I have used had multiple buttons to increase or decrease volume. The knob made it much easier to quickly get the volume settings exactly how I wanted them. - With gaming headsets, comfort might be the most important factor considering how many gamers like to embark on long gaming sessions. I was very pleased with the design of the Blackshark V2 Pro, as I was able to wear it for several hours without any discomfort. It's not heavy and the headband and ear cups felt great. - Battery life is incredible. After almost a week of use, I never had to recharge it once. It's rated to last 48 hours on XBOX and 70 hours on PC. Cons: - Connecting the mic to the mic port felt like had to apply more force than I wanted to. I'd prefer that be designed a little better as I was worried I might break it while inserting it. This is a terrific headset for gamers. I used it mostly for gaming, but also used it to watch some movies and stream some shows. The audio quality was incredible and gives you a whole new dynamic as you can hear every little thing, making games, movies, and TV shows far more immersive. I highly recommend this latest Razer model.

I was in need of a quality headset with a mic for my newest addiction of Iracing, I have used this headset quite a bit and it has always been extremely comfortable which is usually not the case given my larger head size. I not only game for several hours but I work from home most days with an average of 2-3 meetings every single day so I typically find myself using this headset for at least 7-8 hours each day. It has enough battery life to last the entire day and usually several days. I've never actually gotten a "low battery" notice so I am not sure exactly how long they will last on a full charge. All of that is great but how they sound is probably the most important. I absolutelyhave been impressed with how these sound. They have good bass without being ridiculous and boomy like some gaming headphones and have fantastic directional sound for games and I have enjoyed the overall sound profile. Another great feature for me is the mic which I have recieved compliments on how clear it is. As I stated earlier I run quite a few meetings and my teams immediately noticed how much better I sounded once I started using this headset. It does well blocking out background noise while still ensuring I sound crisp & clear. For the price point I just don't see there being a better wireless headset option. To get something better you're going to be spending well over $200 and more than likely into the $350+ price point. My only complaint is the mute button, It's quite sensitive and it sits right next to the power button which you need to hold for a few seconds to turn on. This causes me to accidently mute myself when attempting to turn on the headset. Its a minor annoyance but I would have moved the mute button to the other ear or at least away from the power button. Overall this headset has been great, If you're looking for an affordable gaming headset that sounds great and has the battery life to run all day & longer then I absolutely recommend the Blackshark V2.

This Razer BlackShark V2 Pro wireless gaming headset are amazing for my everyday gaming needs. I was very impressed at how lightweight these are, coming in at about 320 grams. Bluetooth set up with my gaming laptop was pretty fast. Equally impressive is the comfortability of these V2 Pro's. The ear cups are soft and gentle over my ears, and they are memory foam so you can imagine at how comfortable these are. Also, the top band rest well of my head. When gaming, this headset really shines. The microphone comes out really clear. My team is able to hear me well and accurately due to the HyperClear Super Wideband mic. The wind cap is nice and large and the mic itself is easily adjustable. It can be removed if I don't need it. Sound quality is great, you get a really nice surround sound experience. The HyperSpeed Wireless tech on this ensures low latency, especially with the 2.4GHz wireless connections. No lag at all which is great and less frustrating for when I game on TF2. I have been at 12 hours and no low battery indicated at all. They charge via usb-c to the computer so when you are not playing, just plug it in. Overall, great wireless gaming headset that has truly enhanced my ability to hear and be heard while playing.

Headset, called the BlackShark V2 Pro for Xbox, is a in my opinion a medium tier or maybe a low-high end product. I’ve been gaming for 35 years and even though gaming headsets have not been around for that long, they have been around for a few years now and there’s a ton of gaming headsets by a dozen different companies out there, and sometimes these products are hit or miss. In Razer’s case, they have a Winner! Completely Wireless, competitively priced. These gaming headsets offer some good features, read my last paragraph to find out one of them. First of, these headsets come with four preset, audio settings, custom, game, movie and music. Each one tune for the appropriate instance you need them for. Comfort : 10/10 these things are super comfortable, soft foam cushioned covered with some kind of nylon cloth. Loudness : 8/10 for price point, I think it’s good enough, I usually like my headsets to get really loud so that I can hear everything, but that usually comes with more expensive headsets. Clearness of audio : 9/10 very clear and sharp audio, absolutely no problems here, everything sounds as it should, you should not have a problem hearing enemy footsteps if you are playing shooters, or the roar of the engines if you are playing racing games. But most importantly, no distortion. Battery: Razer claims you can get up to 70 hours on a single full charge…. That’s the most I’ve ever heard of. Since I haven’t played for 70 hours yet, only time will tell if this is close to the real number or not. Mic: not too long, not too short, it’s just right, it bends to the shape you make it, and my friends all said that I sound clear. No complaints here. Important: make sure you glance over the instructions, you might learn a hing or two. When I first got these headsets, I was initially a little disappointed that the you could only adjust the game audio volume. If you wanted to adjust the game chat audio level, you would have to go into your Xbox menu to do so (like other cheaper headsets have you do). Well, that is not the case. Razer doesn’t make it 100% clear (but they should promote this more clearly) that you can also adjust game chat levels using the same volume dial. The default setting when you turn on your headset or after a few seconds pass is the game volume, to adjust the game chat volume, all you have to do is press the power button two times, a voice will let you know that you are now adjusting the voice chat volume, and you just turn the dial one way or the other to adjust. Once I found out this feature, I was 100% happy with my new BlackShark gaming headset.

I've had the privilege of being a BestBuy Tech Insider for the past year and a half and seen my fair share of tech gadgets (specifically, headphones). The Razer BlackShark V2 Pro Wireless Gaming Headset stands out for its reliability and natural spatiality performance. Here’s a breakdown of my experience with it: Comfort: I wore these headphones for a two-hour gaming session without feeling any discomfort. The headband is designed to be roomy so they don’t squeeze your head. Also, the cushion material is breathable and lightweight which is great at preventing sweat and fatigue. They’re perfect for long sessions, whether you’re gaming or watching movies. Audio Quality: The sound quality is quiet impressive. It has bass but remains clear, without the muddiness or tininess that some headsets have. I tested them with Red Dead Redemption 2 and Gears 5. In Game mode, footsteps and environmental details were much more prominent, which added to the immersion. Movie mode, on the other hand, was incredible with Red Dead Redemption 2. The audio mix in that game is excellent, but with these headphones, it was a whole new level. I could hear birds, mud splashing, and bandoliers clinking with stunning clarity. I used the "Detailed" Dolby Atmos preset, which worked perfectly. However, I did try to see how DTS:X for Headphones would fare, but unfortunately, it didn’t show up on the app’s headphones preset list. Another standout feature is the seamless panning. Typically, if action transpires to the right of a playable character, the audio jumps to the left ears when turning to find your target. Many headphones that purport to be 7.1 surround sounds still present a stereo soundstage. When you move your camera 360 degrees in-game with the Razer Black Shark, the sound transitions smoothly from left to right. This is rare in most headphones and really impressed me Connectivity: Setting up Bluetooth was straightforward. I’ve been using the dongle to switch between PC and Xbox, and it works seamlessly. The various esports modes are handy, offering optimized settings for games like Fortnite, Apex Legends, and Call of Duty (settings labeled as such). The microphone, although a bit large, is effective. I appreciated the lack of audio feedback, which can be distracting during live chats on Xbox. My only minor issue is with the dongle. I would have preferred a USB connection since the Xbox Series X doesn’t have a USB-C input. However, it works great with my gaming laptop. Battery Life: I've had them for a little over a week, and they have been holding up great without a single charge. To be fair, I have only had a total of 4 hours usage between gaming and movies. I do have more testing to do, so I will refrain from giving a comprehensive review on battery longevity. However as it stands, it's pretty satisfying. Overall, the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro is a reliable and premium choice for gamers who need high-quality audio, excellent atmosphere and comfort for extended use. Highly recommend these!! 4.75/5

This is the first Razer product I’ve ever owned and I have to say that I’m really happy with it. Razer has impressed me with the BlackShark V2 Pro Wireless Gaming Headset, and after using these for a week, I can confidently say they are going to be a “game-changer” for my gaming sessions. Allowing me to play longer, hear the game and anyone with whom I’m playing, better, and not feel discomfort after a few hours of gaming. These headphones have quickly become my favorite, not only for their sound quality but also for their comfort, features and design. Designed with long gaming sessions in mind, I’ve found the BlackShark V2 Pro to provide exceptional comfort for the few-hours-long gaming sessions I've had. I’m an adult male, with a large cranium, so there have been headphones that I’ve worn in the past that felt tight, especially after hours of using them, but not these. The memory foam ear cushions wrapped in a gentle clothlike material, with the well-padded headband allow me to wear them for hours without any discomfort. The headset is deceptively lightweight, IMO, which helps to maximize the amount of time you can comfortably wear them while gaming. The headphones do not rest very well around your neck, when not in use. They bump up against your jaw and you can’t wear them like that for more than a few minutes. That’s okay for me, because I can just set them down at home. But if I were on the plane, gaming with them, I would have limited space and would need to wear them around my neck. If the ear pieces rotated inward, that might make them even more comfortable than they already are. The sound quality of the BlackShark V2 Pro is high end, giving you what you paid for. With a rich, balanced sound, the bass is deep and punching when it needs to be, the mids are clear with crisp highs. Their are an array of customizable EQ profiles allowing for a tailored listening experience based on the content and what you select. The sharp and clear sound really helps to bring the story alive when listening to the NPC's tell their tales and hand out their quests. One of the standout features is the really long battery life. Razer says it should get up to 70 hours on a single charge, and while I haven't tested the full duration, the headset has lasted me several days without needing a recharge, and I’ve done at least 12 or so hours of gaming and some more time checking out and listening to other content using it on my phone, and other mobile devices. The battery life of this headphone makes it ideal for any gamer who plays hours-long tournaments, strategy games or any other endurance gaming sessions. They're also great for anyone who doesn't want to have to charge their headphones every other time they use them. The detachable and adjustable microphone feature made me smile. Thank you so much for making it detachable! And for making it the perfect size, and something that can be moved around to any position. To test it, I asked my husband to wear the headset in a different room while I sat downstairs. We played Fortnite together so I could get a sense of how it sounds to other players. The razer microphone sounds clear and vibrant with well-articulated voices, making communication with teammates seamless. One of the features is the Hyper Speed wireless technology that helps to ensure a low latency connection and virtually lag-free audio, which is essential for competitive gaming. The USB-C dongle makes it easy to connect to the Xbox and other USB devices like your smartphone. I connected it to my Android phone and it’s as simple as plugging the dongle in and turning the volume up.. It almost gives you a nostalgic feel of plugging in the old corded headphones. Additionally, the headset offers dual wireless connectivity options with 2.4 GHz RF and Bluetooth, adding to its versatility. The layout of the controls on the headset are well thought out and easy to use. The multi-purpose rotary control knob allows for easy adjustments for volume and game/chat balance. The additional controls for microphone muting, power, and EQ presets are conveniently placed and easy to use. I really like the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro Wireless Gaming Headset for Xbox! It’s a top-tier headset that excels in comfort, sound quality, and battery life. Now that I’m familiar with Razer products, and the quality they provide, I’ll be on the lookout for their brand going forward. I highly recommended these to any gamer.

Deep in the cavernous confines of the earcups of these headphones, lie the tortured cries of the vanquished foes from your latest game. Through the pop-filtered, connectorized, microphone, come the grunts and victory-seeking shotcalls to your comrades-in-arms as well as the scorns directed to the enemies of your efforts. So, maybe it’s not all drama all the time. But it could be, as sound can really influence your communications and degree of immersion and involvement in whatever you are doing while wearing these fine cans. There used to be a bit on SNL and Wayne’s World a long time ago that used the quote, “We’re not worthy, we’re not worthy” and certainly these gaming headphones elicit those feelings from an amateur gamer such as myself. But who among us can’t appreciate a headphone’s 70 hours of battery life, or the large, all-day comfortable fit that make it an obvious choice of esport pros? What’s in the box? Well, wrapped inside the pretty tissue paper ensconcing the shiny, dark exterior of the slick box, lay the foam cutouts that clutch the comfortably-resting headphones. The supporting roles include the microphone, with its position-sensitive connector, the USB-C dongle that allows use of the headphones with Razer’s HyperSpeed wireless connection with an Xbox or a device with a USB connection (via a selector switch), the charging cable with USB-C to USB-A connectors and finally, an adapter cable with a female USB-C connector to a USB-A connector. The controls are interesting, as there are a few twists and turns involved, such as the multi-purposed rotary control knob that most obviously controls the headset volume, but also controls the game/chat balance. There are also controls for microphone muting, power and selecting the equalization presets. There are selectable eq profiles for “Game”, “Movie”, “Music”, and “Custom”. Within the “Game” settings are some game-specific profiles for Apex Legends, Call of Duty and Fortnite. The “Movie” setting’s sound is characterized by some very low bass, “Music” has a pretty neutral balance (minus some low bass), “Game” is a bit restricted sounding on both the highs and lows, and “Custom” is by its nature, variable. You can employ the Razer Audio Setup app to control these settings. HyperSpeed wireless is a feature-moniker of this headphone that describes the increased speed that the USB dongle-connected device allows compared to the slower Bluetooth connection, making it all the more possible to play or work via the fastest speed with these headphones. Pros and cons Just a few items were less than ideal. One is that the physical size of the cups combined with the externalized cup locating positioning rods are a bit uncomfortable against the upper chest/sternum and neck if positioned on the neck for taking a break to talk to a meal provider about dinner or trying to dissuade the fireman from separating you from your game for an “emergency”. I wish there was some sort of padding on the rods or a beveled surface on the ends. Also, I never realized that font sizes came in negative numbers as used in several locations on the instructional flyer. I think even babies with their young eyes would have trouble reading some of those tiny, 1/32” tall characters. The sound for me was very good with only the higher frequencies a bit lacking when compared to high-end, high-fidelity headphones. The silver lining to that minor cloud is that the fatigue factor will be much lower for all-day use as a result. Also, the microphone sound was reported as being clear and well-articulated. I think that the maker is perhaps not taking full advantage of the versatility of these headphones by advocating (limiting?) their use for only gaming. I understand that that is the primary designed purpose, but as you start using these, you will find yourself widening your utilization in ways you hadn’t anticipated. Tellingly, I had a hard time reviewing these headphones due to family members constantly wanting to use them!

The Blackshark V2 Pro headset by Razer takes gaming to new, wonderful heights. It’s comfortable to wear, sounds excellent and offers plenty of customizability. I’ve been using this headset with my Xbox Series X for a couple of days, and I have to admit, it’s the best headset I’ve ever owned. It’s easy to get started with the headset, as all you have to do is plug it into the Xbox with the wireless dongle with the USB-C to USB-A cable. If you want to get the most out of this headset, you can download the Razer Audio Setup app. This allows you to change the EQ (different presets + custom), microphone EQ, mic input monitoring and other headset settings such as creating a profile and how soon you want the headset to turn itself off after inactivity. You can change the EQ presets on the headset, but all the mic related options seem to be exclusive to the app. The standard EQ profiles sound great. The profiles are game, movie, music and custom. The custom profile has to be adjusted in the app, but allows full flexibility. All the profiles offer a rich frequency range, so it really comes down to preference. The “game” option will serve you well for most games, but you might prefer the other ones, if you’re watching Netflix or listening to Spotify. This headset can also be used with your phone, either via Bluetooth or 3.5 mm cable. You can even answer calls with the headset power button. In addition to the standard EQ profiles, there’s the Esports EQ profiles. They’re specifically made for Apex Legends, Fortnite and Call of Duty. Call of Duty was noticeably quieter (more dynamic range, perhaps?) with scooped mids, while Fortnite seemed louder with more mid range. Apex Legends seemed to offer the more balanced option overall. There’s another custom option here (so a total of two). You can adjust any preset, but changing the frequencies can be glitchy. The mic EQ profiles is a wonderful addition, but the differences are subtle. I love being able to adjust my mic monitoring, since this headset does isolate a lot of background noise, including my own voice. My friend said the mic sounded very good through an Xbox party, that it was almost like listening to a podcast. My only comment is that I could definitely hear my own breathing, when keeping the mic as directed (1.5 - 3 cm away from my mouth). The mic is detachable, in case you just wanna relax with a movie on the train or get tired of blaming your teammates in Warzone! After wearing the headset for hours, it still felt very comfortable, so this is clearly designed for long gaming sessions. It also “automatically” adjusts to your head, unlike most headsets that are annoying to adjust. The volume control is “reversed”, so you turn it up by turning the knob counter-clockwise. It syncs with the headset volume in the Xbox audio settings, but the mic monitoring is greyed out there, so you’ll have to use the app for that. The headset is also compatible with PC. If you’re planning on using it wirelessly, flick the slider to USB on the wireless dongle. No 3.5 mm cable is included, but if you have one lying around, you can use this headset with pretty much any device. A 20” USB-C to USB-A cable is included for charging. There’s also some Razer stickers included and a helpful manual. The battery life is roughly 70 hours on PC, 48 hours on Xbox. The Blackshark V2 Pro Headset is an excellent headset for those who’re looking to take their gaming to the next level. Great sound and comfort, mixed with unparalleled customizability and compatibility. Like gamers like to say… let’s go!

The BlackShark V2 Pro Wireless Gaming Headset for Xbox by Razer has once again pushed the boundaries of what gamers can expect from high-quality audio peripherals. This headset is a game-changer, especially in terms of its EQ settings which are impressively immersive. The 'Movie' setting is my favorite, enveloping you in cinematic soundscapes, while the 'Call of Duty' setting optimizes audio cues crucial for gaming, and surprisingly, it even enhances the music in games like Rocket League. One of the headset’s standout features is its weight balance. It’s light enough for long gaming sessions extending into the night, yet has a heft that reassures you of its quality. The sound quality is phenomenal, whether you're deep into a gaming session or enjoying your favorite films, these headphones deliver outstanding audio performance. However, one area that could use improvement is the mobile app compatibility, or any app capability. Currently, the mobile app supports only the PS5 version, leaving Xbox users without an app for settings adjustments. An update to include Xbox compatibility would make this excellent product even more versatile, mobile or PC. In the app they have every headset they make it seems, so I have no doubt they will add this headset to the lineup eventually. Comfort is paramount with this headset. The ear cups are soft and cozy, and the headband design allows for hours of comfortable use without any strain or discomfort. The low latency performance, thanks to its 2.4 GHz connection, is impeccable. In fast-paced games like Call of Duty, where every millisecond counts, this headset ensures that latency never hampers your play. Battery life is another significant advantage. I haven't needed to charge the headset since unboxing, and after about 15 hours of use, it's still going strong. This endurance is perfect for gamers who dislike frequent recharging interruptions. What comes in the box? The headset, the 2.4 GHz dongle, 2 cables – one USB-A to USB-C (male), one USB-A to USB-C (female), documentation, Mic boom. The female USB-C is to plug in the 2.4 GHz dongle to make it closer to the gamer to lower latency (its so good! It works!) In conclusion, the BlackShark V2 Pro Wireless Gaming Headset for Xbox is an outstanding product that stands tall among competitors. While the lack of mobile app support for Xbox is a minor snag, the overall performance from sound quality to comfort and battery life is exceptional. Razer continues to impress with its innovative and quality gaming products, making this headset a must-have for serious gamers.

I don’t normally write reviews but I definitely had to after using this headset. Overall I love using it. It’s great. I it’s easy to use and great for adapting if you want to use for PC or Xbox. I bought this headset to use for my PC. It’s easy to set up. Just plug and play. For those who have more advanced PC settings may have to adjust their sound like I did but I also go back and forth between multiple desktops and headsets. Below here is my breakdown. Comfort: sits great on my head. Ear miffs are extremely comfortable. Have worn them for hours on end and did not have any issues or discomfort. Very easy to turn the volume up and down with the dial knob on the side of the headset. Very easy and quick to use when in the middle of a game and need to turn up the volume or turn it down quickly. Sound: great sound quality. Every game I play comes out crisp and clear. Discord conversations sound just as clear. My friends also say I come in very clear on their end. No Bugs or cutting out. Color: I’ve never been a fan a white but this headset is definitely changing my perspective. It’s extremely sleek. Looks great and stands out in my desk. Price: little pricey for my opinion but certainly worth every penny. I only purchase items like this when they are worth the money and know they last a long time. Overall: I definitely plan to buy this headset again if/when these go out. I also plan to buy my spouse some as well once her set up is done.

Bought these on sale and couldn't be happier with the performance. They are incredibly lightweight, sound amazing, and the battery lasts for days. The mic is clear enough for professional use, and they work perfectly across all my platforms. If you're looking for a high-quality wireless headset that doesn't compromise, this is the one to get.

[Employee of bestbuy] Best headset I’ve ever had. The mic is amazing I don’t have any issues with people hearing me and it doesn’t pick up random noises in the background. They are super lightweight which is huge for me, sometimes I forget I’m wearing them. Buy them you won’t regret it.

Really good headphones. When i am playing i can hear people coming from behind. It allows me to react quickly and stay alive in the game. You dont need to increase volume that much and it is noise cancelling. The battery life is really good as well. I usually play 2-3 hrs a day

This headset blew my concept of the perfect gaming headset out of the water! Every sound is like a punch to the eardrum in a good way!!! in the Bluetooth connectivity I have not ran into any issues connection wise. If you want a good headset for your Xbox series, X this headset is the way to go!!!!
