    The thing that I like about the headset is that it’s very comfy and very useful for gaming. Once I logged into Fortnite, the sound quality is off the charts. This is one of the best headsets I’ve ever owned. I would recommend buying this headset.

    Awesome headset, it’s super comfortable, amazing sound quality and has a great mic; also the build quality is top notch. Personally use it on PS4 pro, but does work in any platform. Would totally recommend it to anyone looking for a budget headset!!

    got these for working remotely, the goal was to give myself a more portable option that an XLR condenser mic with a separate USB audio interface and a scissor arm. Something I could tote around with a laptop. The Razer Blackshark V2 delivers. The audio quality on the mic is acceptable with the caveat that I spent hours in the Razer Synapse program tweaking the settings and trying to find some combination of options that I could live with. Now, I think I still sound VERY tinny compared to my more professional dekstop audio setup, but for the price, mobility, and comfort I have found these are capable of producing acceptable microphone audio quality. The biggest problem I ran into is that the mic on the Blackshark V2 doesn't pick up lower tones as clearly as higher ones, and apparently my voice is on the low side. At least I had the option to tweak the settings because before getting the Blackshark V2 I had tried the Razer Kraken V3, and there is no fixing the audio that headset produces. Those were my second Razer product ever and my first Razer headset, I was shocked they put their name on something that shoddy. If Razer hadn't been having a sale that made their products an attractive price at the time I'd never have given their headsets the time of day ever again. The comfort on these is fairly good, nothing extraordinary to me but I usually take meetings and listen to music through audiophile quality headphones and I often put custom earpads on them, so my standards are very high. These certainly exceed what I would normally expect from comfort in a set of headphones at this pricepoint, but I find them to be less comfortable than your average Sennheiser headphones. The cups are a bit more shallow with the default cups and rest closer to my ear than I would like. Replacement pads are at the top of my shopping list for these, though I do like the breathable jersey material on the outside of them.

    The audio of the headphones are very amazing, and the headphones cushions are comfortable around the ears and on the head, which helps with playing video games comfortably.

    I got these because I needed a replacement headset for my PS5, and I believe these were on sale and on my recommended list. I know Razer is a pretty respectable company but now I see why! Super comfortable, sound is great, and good build quality so I'm expecting them to last a while. Not Bluetooth though, if that's something that matters to you

    I have a lot of razer products and this is not one of my favorites. It’s a good headset however it is tight on my head. I don’t have a big head and find after prolonged use I rather just use the speakers. The sound is good but it needs more bass. Also after playing for about an hour I noticed my ear will get sweaty since they are so tight and the material is not breathable. It does have a short cable for headphones only but it does also come with a extender that has the microphone input on there. I think it’s about 8-10ft so it’s not bad. It’s bright green too so you won’t get it mixed up with other cables. The quality is great though so I can’t knock it for that. The microphone is good too and it has a small button for muting and a small dial to change the volume when you’re in game which is nice. It’s a good price for a budget headset however it’s hard to recommend it because it’s not breathable and will get hot. Maybe that won’t be an issue to you but to me it is.

    I bought these because I needed a new headset for gaming. These are a great value for what you pay. While it it's a wired headset. You do not have to worry about batteries. It comes with an adapter for computer with a sperate mic and audio jack. In addition to that it also comes with a dust bag to protect you headset when traveling with it. They are light which makes it very comfortable, they are light enough that I can wear them for more then 2-3hrs and probably even more.

    My 13 year old son loves these headphones…. This is his review on them. “I really like the headphones my mom surprised me with. I can hear so clearly and also speak and the other gamers can hear me clearly also. I like the cushion around the ear part and also like the fact that I can still hear my mom if she calls my name. I really like these and I would buy the same headphones if something were to happen to these” Thanks Best Buy for selling great merchandise for customers like us to like.

    The BlackShark V2 X is certainly a step up from my previous headset (Logitech G230). The build quality is solid and doesn’t creak when moving or adjusting like the G230 did, the sound and mic quality is solid for its price range, and its aesthetic is pretty sweet (especially if you decide you want to role play as a helicopter pilot). I’ve used it for both PC and Xbox gaming and haven’t had any issues, although I do wish the boom mic was foldable like many others in the segment. I do very much like the easily accessible volume knob and mute switch on the left side. Overall, I recommend this for anyone looking for a solid gaming headset without breaking the bank!

    Coming from the perspective of a semi-competitive gamer, this is a very VERY solid headset for the price. Audio and mic quality is good, and comfort is literally top tier. The only downside is that there is some audio bleedthrough where people around you could potentially hear some of your game audio, and the mic isn’t detachable. other than that I’d rate these a solid 8.5/10
