Customer Ratings & Reviews

As someone familiar with the Razer Blackshark headphones, I was confused as to what they would do to make the newest pair even better. My pair from last year sounded awesome, the noise cancellation was solid, they fit well, and didn't seem overly heavy on my head. While I felt Razer would be hard pressed to improve on the previous model, it didn't take long with the newest Razer BalckShark V2 Pro to realize how wrong I was. First off, the 2023 Razer BlackShark V2 Pro charges via USB C. That in itself is a large improvement as it now charges via the same cord as nearly everything else. While I still lean on the cord provided by Razer, knowing it uses USB C puts me at ease in case the cord needs to be replaced. Putting the headset on, I immediately notice an improvement in the noise cancellation. While the BlackShark V2 doesn't use active noise cancellation, the design of the headphones does a great job of blocking out outside noise. This is great because while the headset blocks out outside, the lack of active noise cancellation means it does so without impacting battery life. Speaking of battery life, it's something you don't have to worry about with this headset. I've gone through multiple long gaming sessions without having to charge. In those long sessions, with the exception of the noise cancellation, I barely realize the headphones are there as they are extremely comfortable. I don't feel the need to immediately take them off when the gaming session is over. The audio quality on this headset remains top of the line. I have no problem hearing footsteps approaching, recognizing where they're coming from, or knowing which direction shots are going off. I never get any complaints about the mic either. One of the things I really like about this headset, which, is similar to previous models, is the design. I don't need a million lights RGB lights all over my headset. The design is very low-key, which, may not fit everyone, but fits me perfect. The Razer BlackShark V2 Pro is one of, if not the best wireless gaming headset on the market. The 2023 is a no brainer buy that I'd recommend to anyone for it's improvement over what was already great.

I love Razer packaging. I feel like everything looks great and feels great when you open it up. This is a good size headset without feeling like it's super heavy or doesn't fit securely. I do have to wear this on the smallest setting to get it to feel like it sits where I like over my ears but that's not an issue exclusive to this headset. If you have a smaller head this should still fit you well. I like that the mic can be removed as I find myself using this as everyday headphones in addition to gaming. This was easy to connect to my phone, pc and gaming system. I didn't have any issues getting this up and running and love the dial on the ear to handle volume changes quickly. This is extremely comfortable for short term or long term use, I feel like the material and cushion are designed well and for long term wear. This feels pretty light for how heavy I expected it to be at first glance. This feels solidly built and I like the metal hinges that don't seem like they will break with repeated use. This does a pretty decent job of cancelling out a good bit of background noise and the mic also didn't pick up background noise unless it was happening pretty close to the mic.

Audio randomly fluctuates from extremely loud to super quiet, was not worth the purchase. Unfortunately i was not able to return it and wasted 200$ will not be buying a Razer product again

The Razer BlackShark V2 Pro (2023) is a wireless gaming headset that offers excellent audio quality, a comfortable design, and a long battery life. It is a great choice for gamers who want the best possible audio experience. It has a sleek and stylish design. It is made of a combination of plastic and metal, and it is available in two colors: black and white. The headset is very comfortable to wear, even for long periods of time. The ear cups are made of memory foam and are lined with a soft fabric. Very comfortable to wear and easy to charge and use. The headset uses 50mm neodymium drivers that produce clear and balanced sound. Not loud but very clear. The headset also has THX Spatial Audio support, which provides a more immersive audio experience. The microphone is also very good. It is clear and has a good noise cancellation feature. My friends say they can hear me very clearly and I heard great sound on mic check. It can last up to 70 hours on a single charge, I have tested it. The headset also supports fast charging, which can give you up to 5 hours of use in just 15 minutes I have tested. It has a detachable microphone, a USB-C charging port, and a 3.5mm audio jack. The headset including volume controls and a mute button. All in all this is a great headset and worth the price. Highly recommended.

Constantly disconnecting, having issues with them in general.

these headphones are difficult to navigate and the sound comes out like static into your ears it hurts your head after a while. horrible product for horrible price

Quality isn’t loud. Whole headset broke on me while using it.

Great for 6 months, then the plastic side piece broke, making the headset unusable. Inexcusable for the price.

I could not get it to work. I let it charge for 3 hours and still it wouldn’t work

I’ve been using this headset for around 2 weeks and it still has a 58% charge. The sound quality coming from these is great and THX surround just takes it up a notch. Mic is vibrant and sounds rich. Extremely light, extremely comfortable.

this 200$ headset is weaker than a biscuit,it didnt serve 6 months and it fell apart I regret buying this headset so badly

The headphones look very good. However they sound very muffled and they are very boomy sounding and very hard to hear what is around you in game.

Worst audio performance I’ve ever had out of a headset. This headset has the same audio quality as a $30 pair of turtle beaches

6 months later its just broke i dont get why it broke i taken care of it like it it broke from the inside cheap

dont buy, headphone is crackling and popping sounds not even 6 months into purchase. spent $220 + tax.

This product is supposed to pair with PlayStation but it doesn’t.

A bit of background before I kick off this review. I've been using a wireless gaming headset from a competitor for the past 6 years. The microphone was always lacking, and while the audio was reasonably good, the battery life was rather poor. Sometimes I couldn't get through more than half a night of weekend gaming with friends before the headset was dead. Needless to say - I was interested to see what's out there for premium headsets. I've demoed a few of them at Best Buy in the past, but I never found one that I liked in terms of quality, comfort, sound, and mic quality. The BlackShark V2 Pro 2023 is by far the best headset I've used to date. I've been using the 2.4GHz PC connection and utilizing Bluetooth on the headset for the past week. One thing I really like? I can double-tap one of the headset buttons to switch between pairing with my gaming PC and my Pixel 7 Pro. It's so convenient and fast! I can go from chatting with my team in a game of Left 4 Dead, and immediately switch to a phone call on my cell phone. And the audio quality is seriously good. The Razer Synapse program on my PC lets me change the equalizer settings for my headset's audio, and it's been awesome testing it out with some of my favorite competitive shooters. Every game has its own distinct audio range for footsteps, weapon fire, character voice, etc. so being able to choose between canned equalizer settings in Synapse and adjust the audio as needed has been awesome. The mic quality on this headset is unmatched by any headset audio I've heard in the past. The range and quality of sound is top notch. So for anyone who is worried about getting a headset with a bad mic, you'll want to consider the BlackShark V2 Pro 2023. Everyone in my Discord thought I was using a standalone mic, my friends were shocked when I told them the mic audio was coming from a wireless headset. In my house, I can leave my basement and still get a strong 2.4GHz connection with my PC, so that's really nice for grabbing some food or a quick drink. The battery life on the BlackShark is astonishingly impressive too. It took about a week of me working and gaming on my PC for the battery to get low, so I have no complaints about battery. To wrap it up, I highly suggest everyone checks out this headset. I've never been a big fan of Razer products, but this headset completely changes my perspective on who they are as a company. If they continue making products this good, I might end up having a lot of Razer accessories for my PC.

The Razer BlackShark V2 Pro headset is a very well-built headset. It fits very comfortably and wraps around the full ear and fitment is great. The microphone is removable, and it is 2.4hz wireless. The wireless usb receiver is very long when connected to the usb port it sticks out 1.5 inches that is don't like, I have delt with other receiver that at mush smaller and at most are .5 inches. Additionally, the volume control know is very outdated and sticks out like a sore thumb. if we go based on sound quality, they are very good and fit well, but the design is outdated. I would recommend this as a started headset for gaming. The one thing i do like about it and that the microphone does pick up sounds very well and cuts out so much outside noise and transmits your voice very clear. I have used it for meetings also and the battery life is very long. I gave it three stars because of the outdated design, and it could have things done better to be up to par with the technology of today. If the size of the usb receiver is not an issue for you and the outdated design this does make a great headset.

Nice comfy headset great sound by razer. So this is the 2023 model and yes it looks like the 2022 model but there are improvements to that one. So this headset i tried with my nintendo switch on the dock and on the unit itself and they worked great . I also tried them on the Playstation 5 and they work great the sound is very good. Played CoD and fortnite competitively I can hear the footsteps with no issue at all. Same was on the PC but i can use the thx software and that made them even better. The headset is super soft, amazing cushion my head did not hurt . I didnt feel any pressure from any angle . The mic did remove most background noise I asked if they can hear my fan and most did NOT. I was impressed. Now if youre wondering why not give the headset 5 stars and I'll point the things i didn't like. Adjustments on the sides move to easily and then i have to keep adjusting the cups to my ears so the headband is center on my head. The cups rub my ears i wish they were a little bigger I have normal sized ears and it did bother if i were to chew gum. The mic to others who hear me said i sounded like a robot/tin voice i recorded myself and i agree. The mic needs an adjustment to how people sound. Its not the end of the world but I think razer can do better .

Razer has entered the market with a solid headset that any gamer would love to use. The Blackshark V2 Pro is such a lightweight headset that makes it feel as though you aren't wearing a headset at all. When you connect the wireless headset to its dongle its instantaneous. The quality of the sound reproduction captures your low, mid, and high frequencies quite well, where any audiophile would be impressed with its quality. Now you aren't buying this headset to listen to music only. It is clearly designed with THX immersive sound in mind, so think more gaming. When playing FPS games and games that require spatial orientation and awareness the BlackShark V2 lives up to the expectation. After playing a few hours of Call of Duty, Overwatch, and Harry Potter I could tell my awareness of every gaming situation was different from using past headsets. I was picking up on audio cues that I previously would have never detected. Touching upon the microphone, it is what you would expect out of a headset microphone. The audio capture of the microphone does not capture an insane dynamic range of frequencies like a professional microphone would, but that isn't the point of it. Its for communication, not broadcast. In the communication aspect, it far exceeds that expectation.
