I love this headphones. I’ve used them daily for almost a year in my remote work. Its been great for meetings and calls, it does not completely block external sound but just enough to not get distracted. Also the over-the-ear is perfect for me so its comfortable for when meeting go over the hour and the mic is also works great, it has flexibility so you can fix distance from mouth. For music purposes quality is great too. It should be perfect for gaming as well.

The sound quality on these headphones is just crazy for the price. Microphone quality is excellent too! We use them for gaming and have absolutely no issues. We've been using them daily for months, almost a year I think and there's been non degradation in sound quality or build quality! I'd recommend these if you like over-ear headphones and don't mind not being able to hear stuff around you. These guys do an excellent job of noise deafening.

The Best Affordable Gaming Headphones

Excellent Headphones, worth the 60$ retail price, I was pleasantly surprised they were for sale for 40$. The Mic quality and audio quality are excellent. Unlike other gaming headphones, these completely envelope your ear so that the headphones are not resting on your ears but your head which makes them very comfortable, the 50mm drivers are amazing, I have never heard explosions like I have with these headphones, and by far the most comfortable. 3D and Surround audio are automatically applied to these headphones via Playstation and Xbox native 3D technology. I would have paid 100$ for these headphones

I’ve been using the Razer BlackShark V2 X for a couple of weeks now and I’m really happy with it. The sound quality is clear with good bass, and footsteps in games are super easy to pick up. The mic is solid too—my friends say I sound clean without background noise.
It’s also really lightweight and comfortable, even during long sessions, which is a big plus. Works perfectly on both my PC and console without any setup hassle. For the price, it’s hard to beat.

Solid headset, especially for the price point. I wanted something that traded off some features for simplicity and reliability… and this absolutely crushed it. Still great sound quality, so it’s not a compromise there. The ear cups and headband foam are a little firm but still wearable for hours without issue.
Packaging is top shelf and way overdone for paying $40 for this. Would recommend to anyone, and I’ve bought two more to gift to others.

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.

Very comfortable fit, soft around the ears, long cord. I prefer to use them without the surround sound when gaming, but if I’m watching videos or movies I’ll apply the surround sound. Not very pricey, comes packaged well.

The Razer BlackShark V2 X headset exceeded my expectations. The sound quality is superb, letting you hear in-game details clearly. The microphone is clear and works well in quiet environments. Its lightweight and comfortable design makes it suitable for long gaming sessions. Multi-platform compatibility is a major plus. Highly recommend.

Great, easy to use headphones for PC. The headset is lightweight and seems pretty sturdy. These headphones use a splitter adapter for using on PC, and I assume you just unplug the splitter to plug into controllers for console. Not many controls are on the headphones themselves, only having a volume know and a mute button, but that is good enough for me for the asking price.

I recently pickup the Razer - BlackShark V2 X Wired Gaming Headset and wow, it blew me away to be honest. I play Fortnite and COD a lot. The sound quality is insane… every footstep and explosion feels so immersive. I literally hear everything so close and clear which is great because I can adjust the levels however I want. The plush ear cushions make it super comfy for those long gaming sesh’s. Plus, the mic is crystal clear, my squad/party can hear me perfectly during intense matches. Overall, I’d give it a solid 1000000000000/10. Definitely a game-changer. Btw, if you look pink, get this headset! I’ve always used my sisters older razer gaming headset so that’s why I decided to go with this one

So my old headphones I have had for over 3 years. It was time to change. Also due to the fact that I could only hear out of one and no one could hear me. So I did a lot of looking and kept returning to this one. Pink is girly but it looks so nice. They feel so freaking comfortable on my ears and the mic can be moved away or closer if need be. There's a mute option on the rear for convenience. Not only can everyone hear me but I hear very well and the microphone is wildly loud so you don't need it up all the way which is amazing.

I like these headphones, they sound great, they’re comfortable, and they look good enough. I do wish the built in mic was detachable but you can take the cover off and tuck it under the wire to keep it out of the way. I was able to get them on sale with a gift card and rewards which took my price down to $10 so they are very worth my money. Overall they are good especially for young kids who don’t need anything too serious.

BEST BUDGET HEADSET!!!

I absolutely love this headset easily the best budget option I've used. The sound quality is excellent, and the mic sounds great both in-game and on Discord. It works exactly as I hoped, with no issues whatsoever.
While the build does feel a bit flimsy and cheap, that's expected at this price point. Personally, I care more about performance than build materials, and this headset delivers where it counts.
There's really no need to spend a lot on expensive wireless headsets especially since they often come with worse mic quality. For the price, this is an outstanding choice, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a solid, affordable headset.

Very affordable and works great! I’ve been using these about everyday for more than a week now and the sound has great quality! I’ve had better but for this price I was very glad when i heard the quality of the sound and the headset itself was very fitting and rested comfortably on my head from what my husband says in voice chat the mic sounds good! He can hear me clearly

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.

Awesome headphones, especially for the price! When I was shopping for a headset I was drawn to Turtle Beach’s because that’s what I have used in the past but I have Razer speakers for my computer and I decided to go with the matching headset. Did not disappoint. Quality is the same, if not better, that a solid turtle beach headset for a fraction of the cost!

This is probably the bestest headset I’ve owned so far, it’s not too heavy so it’s pretty comfortable sitting on my head, especially during long gaming sessions. The sound quality is amazing, I even use it sometimes to listen to music or watch shows/movies. The microphone is pretty nice and clear. I can’t think of any downsides to this headset, I’ve really enjoyed it.

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.
