Customer Ratings & Reviews

Amazing sound but can get uncomfortable after a while.

Years later still work great love these things !!!

I have nothing to complain about it except for the mute button that only works in video games and not when Im talking through discord or anywhere else.

Excellent gaming headset really worth the money and I got it on sale to

The price on these arent bad, but im not super impressed with the quality. Mostly, the ear cups are so big the way they sit on my head sometimes irritates my ears. The sound quality is about 5/10 too. I still kept them cause I use them infrequently enough that im not too bothered, but my recommendation would be to spend a little more money and get somthing better

amazing headset for the price. everything worked perfectly.

Never owned a Razer Headset before. This is great headset. I would recommend.

Pretty good headset for this price point, no complaints from my son

I don't recommend it, the connection is not versatile only a few devices can connect

these were great for PC gaming! so comfortable and great mic quality

Haven’t had any issues with it love the mute button

Great headphones with great style. I use them for pc, and all consoles still go great 10/10

It’s a great headphone! increases my gameplay!! great cost benefit!!

Works great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love it soo much and i enjoying it alot <3<3<3<3

I bought my son’s headset instead of twos. I get this controller instead of tools and I am tired of coming to the store for over three hours sitting as no one is never on the same page as to what’s going on. It’s I can’t reach the number on the receipt. No one ever never answers at corporate and in the store they are going through the receipts. Folks are putting in stuff how they wanna put it in my son had a blue controller. It didn’t get exchanged for another blue controller

The original version I bought 10 years ago was the best version but it finally broke on me. I bought this poor “upgrade” thinking it was going to be the same or at least remotely similar or even better. The ear muffs are way too narrow. They press and pinch onto my ears so much! I tried to widen them and it completely came off! There is no simple way to put the muff back on or to hold up without it. I can’t wear my glasses on without causing a migraine from the pressure. THEY DONT MUTE! There’s no switch or button to mute! I have to unplug the stupid headset to have a private conversation and then I’m missing comms in whatever I’m doing. The mic is stationary! Cannot extend or put away! ABSOLUTE TRASH!

I recommend this I bought it for my gf she enjoys it

I was expecting more from this headset, sound is super quiet, i can’t even hear anything, Better get some logitech g935

What’s Good 1. Very Comfortable for Long Sessions • The headset is lightweight (about 240g) and has memory-foam ear cushions, making it well-suited for long gaming sessions. • Many users on Best Buy praise how the headband and earcups don’t dig in, even after hours. 2. Good Sound for Gaming • Razer uses its 50 mm Triforce drivers, which help recreate high, mid, and low frequencies more distinctly. • According to Tom’s Hardware, the 7.1 surround sound (on supported systems) is “noticeable and helpful” for positional awareness in games. • The sound profile is somewhat “dark and bass-heavy,” which works well for explosions or action games. 3. Strong Mic Performance • The boom mic uses Razer’s HyperClear cardioid design, and tests show it records voices clearly even in noisy situations. • Users say their voice comes through “clean without background noise.” 4. Good Value • For a wired headset with decent features like surround sound and a quality mic, the BlackShark V2 X is often considered a great value.  • Many buyers mention it’s “one of the best budget headsets” for gaming. 5. Cross-Platform Compatibility • Uses a 3.5 mm jack, so it’s compatible with PC, consoles (PlayStation, Xbox), Switch, and other devices. • On Windows 10 (64-bit), you can enable virtual 7.1 surround to improve positional audio. What’s Not So Great 1. Inconsistent Sound Delivery • According to lab testing by RTINGS, the bass and treble can vary a lot depending on how the headset sits on your head. • The sound seal is sensitive: if the earcups don’t form a tight seal (especially if you wear glasses or have thick hair), performance drops. 2. No EQ Software • There’s no companion app or software from Razer for fine-tuning EQ, so you’re more or less stuck with the default tuning. • That means you may not be able to customize the sound to your liking if, say, you want “music-friendly” tuning. 3. Build Quality Feel • Some parts feel a bit fragile: RTINGS notes that the metal hinges and cables look like they could be weak spots. • A few user reviews mention the mic mute/unmute switch or volume dial could feel more solid. 4. Poor Noise Isolation • The closed earcup design does help block some sound, but according to RTINGS, it doesn’t do much for low bass noise (like engines or deep rumbles). • So if you’re gaming in a very noisy room or commuting, you may still hear a lot of ambient sound. 5. Mic Is Not Detachable • The boom mic is integrated and cannot be removed. • That could be an annoyance if you don’t always need the mic and want a “cleaner” look or want to reduce weight. 6. Durability Risk • Some users on forums report issues after long-term use. For example: “Every other sound … is over-muffled … footsteps are so low …” • There’s also mention of a buzzing issue in one ear after about a year (in a Reddit thread). Who It’s Best For • Competitive / eSports Gamers: If you’re playing FPS games (like CS:GO, Valorant, Apex), the headset’s positional audio and light weight make it a strong choice. • Budget-Conscious Gamers: People who want a good headset without spending big money will likely find this very attractive. • Cross-Platform Players: Because of its 3.5 mm jack, gamers on multiple platforms benefit. • Casual / Long-Session Gamers: Comfortable enough for long sessions, but not ideal for extremely rugged or long-term durability if you’re very hard on gear. My Verdict The Razer BlackShark V2 X is a very solid budget wired gaming headset. It nails a lot of core things: comfort, mic clarity, and gaming sound. But it’s not flawless — the inconsistent sound delivery and slightly iffy build quality are real trade-offs. If I were buying a headset purely for gaming and didn’t mind spending a little time adjusting its fit (or living with its sound quirks), I’d pick this. But if I needed something with better build durability or more “audiophile-friendly” tuning, I might consider spending more.
