My Favorite Gaming headset
Over the probably 15 years of gaming semi-competitively I have come to use a lot of different headsets, from Razer to SteelSeries or HyperX, this is by far my favorite. The comfort of these headphones are otherworldly and I don’t experience ear fatigue after going long periods of time while wearing them. I have heard complaints about the depth of the spatial audio but have never experienced anything of the sort, as I am able to track footsteps in games such as Call of Duty and Rainbow Six Siege perfectly fine. The volume slider is analog and directly controls system volume which is a huge boon for me, but may not be for everyone. The microphone on this headset is currently the best in class (as far as I’ve seen, heard, or experienced in a headset) and is absolutely great. My only suggestion is that you change the microphone mode to broadcast in Razer synapse, as it makes your voice sound much nicer to people you are playing with.TLDR: Great headset, great audio, great microphone, great for gaming, great build, great comfort, great buy.

Fixes pretty much fixed all my problems with the original BlackShark V2 Pro
EDIT: I should note in the section where I mention my headset being on the latest firmware it came out of the box that way when I attempted to update the USB receiver and headset they were already on the latest firmware so perhaps the headset previously had issues and Razer fixed them with firmware and started shipping the headset that way.TL;DRPros:Excellent package experience.USBC.Bluetooth.Custom audio/mic EQs on the headset itself.70 hour battery life.The best sounding mic Iâve ever used on a gaming headset period.Cons:Still have to use Razer Synapse for tuning and firmware updates and canât be done via mobile or Mac.No 3.5mm connection.No Xbox compatibility (though I still blame Microsoft for this).The Razer BlackShark V2 Pro (2023) really should have just been the Razer BlaclShark V3 Pro. This headset improves on the 2020 BlackShark V2 Pro in just about every way (except for one). The headset has the same great sound as the 2020 model which to my taste is okay but needs to be adjusted for a more neutral natural sound as well as being identical in design save for some swapped button placement and a sadly removed port. Also Razerâs package experience is still amazing the headset comes very nicely packed in dense plush foam so that it wonât get damaged in shipping. After that the similarities end the improvements start coming and they just donât stop.The 2023 model finally ditches the antiquated micro-USB port for a USBC connector that alone makes the headset worth it to me personally but Razer kept going the headset now supports Bluetooth for wireless audio outside of Razerâs 2.4Ghz Hyperspeed USB connection. Allowing you to pair the device with things like your phone, TV, Tablet, Streaming boxes and so much more.Razer has also decided to allow you to save EQs and presets to the headset itself which is great for people who want to use this headset on console but would maybe like to use some of the specific esports presets or their own custom EQ.Razer also significantly improved the battery life going from 24 hours on the 2020 model to a whopping 70 hours on the 2023 model.Then thereâs the mic I donât know what wizardry Razer is pulling but between the hardware and the processing on the headset itself it is one of the best sounding mics I have ever heard on a gaming headset beating out some USB mics Iâve tested.Now I have heard some people out of the box have had issues with their headsets not saving settings or EQs and tuning not sounding right or having a static feedback when using the headset on discord but with my headset on the latest firmware I have yet to run into an software issues. I also saw one review here that claimed the headset isnât compatible which Switch and that it (the headset) was false advertising but I can confirm docked the headset works via the 2.4 usb dongle but honestly just pair the headset via Bluetooth and then it works perfectly in docked or handheld mode.This brings me to the faults I have with the headset for better or worse youâre still beholden to Razer Synapse for tuning and adjustments and you still canât do any of this via the mobile app which means a PC is required which is super frustrating if the out of the box sound isnât to your liking or if you need to update the firmware and own a Mac. Razer make a Mac specific app and allow wireless updating and tuning via the mobile app itâs 2023 not everyone wants to be tethered to their PC.Secondly while this doesnât bother me the headset should support simultaneous audio over Bluetooth and 2.4Ghz and while weâre on missing features probably my biggest gripe is the removal of the 3.5mm connection. Look I get it, in 2023 a lot of devices donât have 3.5 anymore and I have moved on but I liked having it as an option and to see it removed is really frustrating especially when some of the competition who had skipped having a 3.5 before on their wireless offerings like Logitech are now offering a 3.5 connection and Razer isnât. This also means unless Razer makes a specific Xbox version this headset is a no go for Xbox users without a Bluetooth adapter and then you still canât use the mic. Though I still think Microsoft should get off their high horse and just allow USB audio like the PC (which Windows is Microsoftâs software), PlayStation and Switch do.With all that being said I loved the 2020 model and the 2023 model is no exception it fixes every gripe I had with the previous version and does it all at a great price point. Itâs not perfect but what is. Either way this is my headset of choice and I will continue to use a BlackShark headset for the foreseeable future.

Almost Perfect but Definately Horrible
I bought these brand new September 2023.First off, a detachable microphone on a wireless headset is super rare nowadays. This headset was among the best Ive ever had. The microphone noise cancellation is superb. I get clear quality audio output with a Lasko Windmachine fan a foot away from the microphone on max, and no interference.Hands down one of the the bests microphone technology for a headset on the market to date.BUTAs seen in the images, the headset has severe structural issues. The plastic seen falling apart (or that has fallen apart) is doing so because it cannot resist the flexing headband, so its crumbling from the tension. Ive have NEVER dropped this headset. That area has never suffered an impact and I am the only one ever around the headset.The headset cost me $200 USD, easily one of the priciest headsets on the market. And they designed it with that weak flaw and didn’t look back. Now I wouldn’t be so dissatisfied if this headset were modular and the parts were easily replaceable. When the first part snapped off while i was sitting still for hours i thought it was a simple fix. I bought Loctite Plastics super glue with Activator, still on the way (haven’t applied it). But then suddenly today, the incident in the second image happened while I was working at my desk. It just started crumbling apart while i was sitting still for hours again.And now the more pricey headsets have integrated microphones to make sure saving on real estate and the parts while having better looks takes priority over usefulness. And finding one including the soft cotton earpads is almost impossible. These earpads are great for all day use in any climate and easily re-sticheable. In hot climate, leather-like earpads will chaffe at the ears with long use. So i really thought I won a good pair when I used these for first six months. Not anymore. Now im looking at the Astro A50 X priced at nearly $400 USD. Here we go again… If those fail im going back to budget headsets. And use them like disposable gloves.

Connection issues
This headset is good. Mic sounds great for my friends and it performs well in games letting me hear footsteps. But!! while watching youtube maybe every 10 videos or so it will randomly stop playing sound when I click a new video and the only way I can get sound back is unplugging the usb and plugging it back in and it forces a reconnect. I haven’t played games long enough to see if it happens mid game or between rounds. I will update with the gaming aspect later. But as a day one experience it fails with solid connection wise. I’ve seen other reviews with connection issues and they said it connects back quick but mine will not reconnect on its own.

Si sigues las instrucciones para actualizar el controlador no vas a tener mayor problema. Hay tres cosas a notar en mi opinión:1) Si no eres audiofilo de fabrica suena muy bien pero si buscas tutoriales para ecualizar la música y el micrófono mejora notablemente en ambos aspectos.2) Es el mejor micrófono que he tenido en un heeadset, estoy sumamente complacido con la calidad, especialmente porque los uo para el trabajo y con mis amigos.3) Si como yo eres cabezón y usas lentes, son bastante cómodos, pero si puedes llegar a sentir una leve incomodidad. No pasa de ajustar el headset para que vuelva a ser bastante cómodo.Te los recomiendo ampliamente peeero ten en cuenta que no tienen un acabado tan premium como los a50, virtuoso, etc.

I’m editing my previous review of 4 stars and dropping it down to 1 (consider it 0 if you’re reading this, but i can’t leave a 0 star review).A quick note before i get to the rest of this headset review – I bought this headset as soon as it was released because i was in the market for a new one and this seemed to check all the boxes – great mic, long batter life, comfortable, wireless. I was initially happy with the headset, and a few months later i bought the brand new Basilisk V3 Pro mouse that they just released also and that mouse was a nightmare – I had to get it RMA’d 4 times before i got one that worked properly. I also picked up their new Razer Atlas mousepad when it dropped because I was going into full Razer mode.But just like some of the other reviews you’re seeing here in regard to build quality of this headset, mine broke in the EXACT same spot. I’m always super careful with my electronics, especially when i’m spending over $300 on a pair of plastic headphones (WHICH I EXPECT TO LAST LONGER THAN 10 MONTHS), and i have never dropped or smacked these into anything. The other day i was just taking it off my head and the force of simply separating the ear cups off of my head sent plastic bits flying.The only positive i can tell you about this headset is the battery life, and that’s IT. It was not comfortable to wear for extended periods, always left my ears hurting because the cups are poorly designed. It also has wireless connectivity issues, it’ll turn off without any notice on me for multiple times in a session, and sometimes the audio is will be working fine 1 second and the next it’s all crackly and distorted, forcing you to turn it off and on again to have it work properly, which is not ideal at all when Iâve had it happen in critical points within a game. Also the buttons on the headset are very poorly thought out in terms of design and their functions.Razer is a company that continues to live off initial reviews of their products, the ones that donât have enough time with them to understand the horrible build quality that they offer. This is absolutely the last Razer product i buy in my life.
