Purchased in May 2024.
Many software issues and hiccups (well known and documented across the internet) for Razer products. Microphone issues from the software as well, often a plague having to reboot to get it working when launching a program befpre powering on the headset. Worked well enough when they did, however, cheap made plastic that breaks (as shown) doesnt warrant the price. I knew better than to purchase Razer brand products, but after reading many reviews, i figured maybe QA had improved with the products, but i was very wrong.
Adult male; meticulously taken care of; Only used by myself and junked after 9 months. Theres better products with other companies.

I bought these headphones three months ago, and they got snagged on something on my desk, almost instantly breaking one of the ear cups (See Photo). One of the downsides to having a large gap by the ear cups.
Before that, I loved this headset for gaming, working from home, listening to music, and chatting with friends on Discord. It was better in all areas compared to the other brands listed below.
I'm incredibly torn on what to buy as a replacement. On the one hand, I love how these sound and want to buy again, but on the other, the build quality is SO MUCH worse than anything I've used recently, including Logitech, other Razer wired products, and the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro.

Audio is a fundamental part in video games, either to improve our record or if we want to play competitively, also communication with your team is extremely important to achieve a victory. It is clear that there are multiple options on the market, however, a headset that combines comfort, audio quality, a microphone with a clear and loud sound, the least amount of buttons, a battery that lasts a long periods of time and at a reasonable price, is a little difficult to find. The Razer BlackShark V2 Pro (2023) gaming headset meets practically all of these features and then some.
Included in the box are the headset, microphone, wireless USB dongle, USB Type-A adapter, USB Type-A to Type-C charger cable and some documentation.
The connection is very simple and easy, I have connected the headset to my PC with the wireless USB dongle and via bluetooth to my smartphone, in both cases the sound quality is quite good. In terms of performance the headset meet my expectations, or practically the demands that PC gaming and gaming in general currently require.
The audio quality is outstanding, although I must say that in THX Spatial Audio mode there is not a big change, but it does improve the experience a bit. In relation to comfort I have nothing more to say, I have had them on for several hours daily and I have gotten used to them very quickly, to the point that sometimes I forget that I have them on. I have used them to play video games primarily, to listen to music, watch movies, YT content, listen to podcasts while I'm playing, in fact for multiple purposes and the result is satisfactory.
The battery lasts a long time and it really lasts, I have been using these headset for a few days in a row with only a full charge and I have not reached 50% yet, this is a very strong point and that personally is appreciated. And speaking of things that stand out, the microphone is what most receives my attention because normally the microphones of wireless headset and more if they are detachable, don't always deliver a clear and strong sound as one would like, but in this case Razer has made an extra effort and it is noticeable, at all times my teammates hear me correctly and clearly, I have been very satisfied in this area.
Regarding the design I can say that they are not the most aesthetic headset I've had because I consider them a little big, but I like them and mainly because they are comfortable. They come in matte black color, with sufficiently large earcups that cover my ear completely, at the moment it seems that I am using noise canceling headset. On the right earcup there is a knob that serves to modulate the volume, two buttons that are power and to mute or activate the microphone, on the right earcup the button to manage the bluetooth connection and also fulfills other functions such as switching device as well as selecting the equalization depending on the game you are playing, the software (Razer Synapse) has 5 presets for games that are Apex Legends, Call of Duty, CS:GO, Fortnite, Valorant, you can also create different presets to taste.
In summary and based on my experience using gaming headset of different ranges, I can say that these headset offer enough and a little more for its price, there are headset that are around twice the price with practically the same performance, this product meets, and dare I say, exceeds my expectations. I can certainly recommend them highly.

This headset seems really solid and well put together. Mic and sound quality were great.
Huge problem though is small plastic pieces hold everything together. I had 10 months of daily use and small plastic piece popped off while i was wearing it. Now the earpiece is seperated from the headstrap and is completely unusable.
I contacted razer as it is still under manufacturer warranty. They asked a lot of targeted questions basically blaming me for breaking it and misuse. I did not misuse it, i treated it extremely well as its a very expensive headset. My warranty claim was then denied for listed reasons that were completely irrelevant to my issue.
I have been buying razer products for many years and i highly suggest that no one buy this product or any razer product in the future. They use cheap pieces that are made to fail then blame the customer when they do. Very poorly built product and bad customer service.

I bought this and after maybe 6 months a piece broke off while putting the headset on. I contacted Razer thinking this item is under warranty and they would make it right. No they said this isn’t covered under warranty because the damage was not during the intended use of the item and was not a manufacturing issue. UMM a piece that is usually glued welded etc coming apart seems like a manufacturing issue to me and HOW is putting on a headset not in the « intended use »? Needless to say I won’t be buying razer products again. I thought they stood by their products especially given the $200+ price tag but they do not stand by their products or loyal customers.

Seriously disappointed with the build quality of the head phones I’ve had for 6 with maybe very little use and the plastic that hold the ear piece to head band is crumbling apart like cookie crumbs. Very cheaply made for the price definitely do not recommend these! Stay away and look for some better quality build. I had use tape to hold it together witch isn’t very comfortable.

The sides of the headset broke very fragile, it is made of plastic, you try to keep it, but over time it breaks just by putting it on your head. 3 months of use for this.

Plastic cracking after 2 months of normal use.

Cracking after 2 months, Razer declining warranty. My last Razer headset lasted for years with no issues. I finally decided to invest in a higher quality Razer headset, and it’s already cracking at the joints. Razer is attempting to decline its warranty. I’m very frustrated because I’ve recommended Razer to countless friends over the years, and the first time I’m requesting legitimate support, I’m declined.

What I like:
Lightweight and easy to use, nice that it’s wireless so you can walk around. Battery lasts a long time so not worried about having to charge it. Fairly easy to use software to get the sound you want (especially good if you have other Razor products). Nice that you can use Bluetooth to connect to your phone (or portal PC) on the go.
What I don’t like:
Must use as wireless, even though it comes with a long cord that you’d think you could connect to your PC and use as a wired headset. Weird microphone, maybe just my preference, but I like one that can flip up and down to mute and unmute, this one is kind of there and you have a button to press to mute that I don't particularly like. THX needs to be bought as an extra cost.
Overall:
Generally, I’ve enjoyed the headset, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a good sounding wireless headset especially if you have other Razor accessories. There are a couple of weird design choices, but those don’t take away from the good experience I’ve had.

Great headset for gaming and streaming! If you don’t have an external microphone the one it comes with is better than every other gaming headset I’ve used in the past. Its very comfy and has a really long battery life so I only have to charge it like once every 1-2 weeks.

The Razer BlackShark V2 Pro (2023) is a top-tier wireless gaming headset that offers excellent audio quality, a fantastic microphone, and a comfortable design. The extended battery life and Bluetooth connectivity add to its appeal. However, the steeper price tag and occasional software quirks might deter some budget-conscious gamers. If you prioritize superb audio, crystal-clear communication, and long-lasting battery life in a comfortable wireless headset, the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro (2023) is definitely worth considering.

Really liking this headset!! Sound is good, haven't had issues in games telling direction of footsteps...like the feel and how they adjust. Bf and I had the same headset(Turtle Beach Stealths)...they ended up breaking for both of us after 1-2 years...glue could no longer hold it together lol...around the ear area would crack...so we were looking for headsets with metal around the ear pieces(instead of plastic), I got this headset and he got a Logitech headset, I have loved this headset!! Music sounds good as well, decent bass! The white color looks cool and fresh as well, have never had a white headset. Stitching is nice and even on headband.

Purchased these for my PS5, but these headphones are so good that I now use them for work. The mic is great and the 70hr battery life is amazing. The razor synapse works with these as well, which lets you fine tune your headphones. They are light, comfortable and great at noise canceling. These head phones are a must at the price and lower.

This headset is not only comfortable, but it's actually amazing to wear. I use this headset in a call center setting, and this is not only clear, but it's good quality with a nice frequency response curve. This won't compete against the top tier mics like the AT2020 or the PodMic, but for a wireless headset mic, this surely is the price of $200.
I know some will be turned away about the $200 price point, but it's well worth with the amount of features it actually has. 50 mm drivers, THX spatial audio, wireless (of course), a proper volume dial; better than the previous version where it had a cutoff point, 70 hours of battery life, USB-C charging, Bluetooth phone connectivity, Audio profile switcher EQ, and many more.
The microphone isn't really the downside, but at the end of the day, for a hyper clear microphone, it does beat all the other wireless gaming headsets out there. The frequency response is 100Hz - 10 kHz, so it's not really the best...but it will get you by with a very nice quality microphone.
Overall, I give this rating a rating a 9/10. Has a bit of very minor flaws, but I feel like these flaws does not really impact the overall feel and quality this headset provides.
This works for gaming, gameplay recordings, call center work (if your company allows it), and many more.

The sound quality of these headphones are the best ive heard from any headphones I’ve purchased, in fact its a little too good and can get too loud as many other headphones don’t even get loud enough. They have an EQ button for different types of ways to hear your audio which is very helpful as well. I average 2-3 hours of playing a game and they are comfortable the whole time no soreness, sliding or anything. Battery life is also very impressive as well. The mic sound’s outstanding. I listened to a few clips of my voice and it sounds like audio from a studio microphone. I was also told while in game chat that I sound extra clear. Overall its a very good buy and worth the investment.

Pros; excellent battery life, i feel like i never need to charge it. Good quality mic. Headset is lightweight. Connects super fast after turning on (much faster than my Turtlebeach lineup)
Cons; the sliding adjustment on the earcups seem to never maintain the position and youll have to readjust everytime you put on, not a big deal, slightly inconvenient. The only other complaint is the headset is a bit expensive for what i think it is. Feels more like a $80 headset.. not going to lie.
Overal not bad but they should be a bit cheaper atleast. Would be a 5 star if it wasnt for the need to adjust everytime
