Razer BlackShark V2 X Gaming Headset

By no means am I a person who is well versed with understanding different audio capabilities, high and low frequency sounds, and how this headset compares to the vast and competitive line of other gaming headsets. With that, take this review for what you will.

I purchased the Turtle Beach Stealth 600 PS4 Headset and the Razer Blackshark V2 X that’s compatible with the PS4. I wanted to pin them against each other as these seemed like two budget friendly options that many Youtuber’s talk about. My ultimate choice was to keep the Blackshark V2 X because it is by far the most comfortable headset I have ever worn. It is really lightweight, has a very comfortable headband and ear pieces and has no pressure points. I also wear glasses once in awhile and I can say that the headset was beyond comfortable after hours of play while wearing glasses. It felt like thy weren’t even there at all. To say that they are very comfortable is a complete understatement, just try them yourself.
The sound quality to me was great as well and while playing games, it felt like a thoroughly immersive experience. Not to mention the noise cancellation worked as advertised and it did make it difficult to hear anything around me while playing. With the exceptional bass the headset packs and the ability to hear the world around you, I really felt like I was in the game I was playing. For example, while shooting guns in games, the bass and the controller vibration make it feel like I’m really there in game. I was really blown away by that feeling. Very immersive and the sound quality was clear, consistent, and is something that I truly look forward to when I play now. While the build is a little different than what I’m used to, I really do think the pilot headset look is dope. No issues with the mic either.
I mentioned earlier that I chose these against the Turtle Beach Stealth 600 and some may want to know why I did. I found the TB’s to be bulkier and heavier than what I already had and were also not nearly as comfortable. In my humble opinion, it doesn’t matter how great a headset sounds, if the headset is uncomfortable, they’re coming off. They had a lot of pressure points and with my glasses, they did tend to bother my ears (even though I have small sized ears). I also wear earrings and the design of the ear pads on the TB’s irritated my ears and made them hot and a bit sore tbh. They sound great, pack plenty of bass and boy do they get loud, but to me, it wasn’t worth the extra 50 bucks you’d spend if you did choose the TB’s over the Blacksharks. I also tried to do a little test of the directional sound compared to the blacksharks and I didn’t come across any difference in the quality of the directional audio and ability to hear other players nearby or in the direction shots were fired, etc.

Honestly, you won’t be disappointed going with the Blackshark VS X. A quality product at a price you truly can’t beat! See for yourself why so many people like this headset!

Bought this to replace a Plantronics Rig wired headset. After about 6 hours of actual use I can say it isn’t as comfortable as the old headset, but that’s the only major downside. I paid literally half for this as compared to the Plantronics 5 years ago. It blocks outside noise better than the old headset even with new padding did, but it also doesn’t allow nearly as much adjustment in terms of fit. The microphone is better, but there isn’t as much ability to adjust it, and the mute button is in a weird position on the back. Sound quality is pretty decent though, and using a standard 3.5mm plug means I can use it with all of my wired devices still.

O produto é muito bom, aparenta ser muito resistente, o som tem alta qualidade, e é tudo perfeitamente embalado, vc não vai se arrepender do capricho que o produto é feito

Excelente calidad en los materiales, las bocinas tienen buena calidad en sonido, el micrófono es muy versátil y se escucha muy claro, excelente producto que compite con marcas de mayor prestigio y precio alto. Lo recomiendo ampliamente.

I was looking for something comfortable with balanced sound profile for fps games like helldivers and apex legends on ps5. This headset fit all of that and at a great price! I Have tried other headsets that had harsh clamp force. I’ve played hours with this one and it is very comfortable. Provides a nice seal to lock you into your games but doesn’t cause fatigue. The sound is really balanced to me. Not too much bass and audio doesn’t sound muddy like other headsets I’ve tried in this price range. I haven’t tried the app that comes along with the device for surround sound but out of the box the sound is very good. Build quality feels decent and not cheap. Would certainly recommend. Only nitpicks would be the mic and audio chord are not detachable. Would be a nice touch but I don’t really care. It also comes with a 2 yr warranty so I’m sure It’ll be fine over time.
