Review: These sound and feel fine for the price point - I 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 quality is acceptable. I honestly haven't even considered using these to listen to music or play games, and in meetings I have much lower expectations for the audio quality others bring to the table than I do for myself. But at no point has the audio quality jumped out to me as being bad. I ran a quick 3 track audio test just now and they're very bright sounding, which is to say these seem better tuned to produce higher frequencies than lower ones. They don't spark joy in my inner audiophile, but they're not bad either. This is acceptable audio. A sound that I think most people will find agreeable unless they're especially bass hungry. For those of you who are Dankpods fans I can offer an excellent frame of reference, you can barely hear the bongo player going off in Earth, Wind, & Fire's "September" with these. One notable feature that I've not encountered before (because I have gone out of my way to avoid using headsets) but really appreciated is the sidetone. I don't like closed back headphones and stick to open backs unless I'm listening to music in a public place. And I REALLY hate talking with closed backs headphones because I can't hear myself and I feel like I'm yelling. The sidetone option these offer takes in and plays ambient noise back to me so that I can hear myself and the world around me in real time. It may seem like a silly thing to want but for those of you who feel the same as myself I can promise this is a LOVELY feature to have.
Review: Better than ALL headsets!! - Let me start by saying: I bought this headset thinking I’d just get slightly better sound and maybe stop annoying my friends with my old potato-quality mic. What I didn’t expect was to emerge from my first game with it like I’d been granted the ears of a cybernetic owl. Seriously, this thing has THX Spatial Audio. I can now hear footsteps, whispers, and, like never before. I didn’t even know how much I’d been missing until I threw these on and realized every prior headset I owned was basically two tin cans and a string. Sound quality? Unreal. The 50mm Triforce Titanium drivers handle highs, mids, and lows like a pro DJ mixing beats in your brain. Explosions boom, dialogue is crisp, and footsteps? Oh buddy, you’ll be spinning in your chair because you’ll hear them behind you before they get you. I’ve gone full try-hard mode since getting this. My KD ratio thanks me. Comfort-wise, this is the first headset I’ve worn for 5+ hours without getting swamp ears or a headache. The ear cushions are infused with cooling gel, which sounds like marketing fluff, but let me tell you, it works. My ears stayed cool through an all-night Destiny raid and a very heated Mario Kart showdown with my partner (who now refuses to play with me while I have this on because “you can hear the shells coming”). Mic quality? Chef’s kiss. The HyperClear Cardioid Mic is detachable, but I keep it on because I like sounding like I’m broadcasting from a professional studio. Friends on Discord have commented that I finally sound like a human and not a dial-up modem trying to become sentient. It comes with a USB sound card that unlocks THX features for PC users (Windows 10 only), but even without it, the 3.5mm jack works great across platforms. I’ve tested it on PC, Switch, and even my phone (because why not listen to Apple Music in hi-fi luxury while walking my dog?). Bottom line: This headset made me realize two things: 1. I’ve been missing out on what “good audio” really means. 2. I'll never go back to budget headsets again. If you're a gamer, streamer, or just someone who wants to hear the game world as if you’ve stepped into it—buy this. Your ears, your teammates, and probably your killstreaks will thank you. I also bought one for my girlfriend after using it for the past few years and she also loves it. Amazing gift for pc gamers!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Long Review but hopefully Helpful
*by D***. on May 6, 2022*

Okay! So I did my research on mid budget headphones for gaming. The ones I looked at ranged from $50-150. I looked at gaming brands like Razer, Logitech, HyperX and studio level brands like Sennheiser, Beyerdynamic, and AudioTechnica. As far as sound quality, high/lows, surround sound, and spatial audio the studio brands win every time but for a higher price point and usually minus an integrated mic. If you're big into streaming/music I'd recommend the studio level headsets with a stand alone mic. You can buy a mod mic for most studio brands but I didn't want the extra purchase on top of a more expensive headset. So I continued my research with gaming brands. I own a pair of HyperX Cloud II's and love them for at home gaming but are simplistic in build. I wanted another pair for travel that still met the quality of studio level headphones. Logitech and HyperX have great mid budget headphones but lacked the spatial audio in the cheaper models I wanted for games like Hunt: Showdown which is extremely audio heavy and requires 7.1 surround sound. I turned to Razer as my final option which I honestly avoided due to their popularity and increasing price. I'd definitely call Razer the Apple of the gaming community since you're paying for the name, reliability, and consistency of their products. I have to co-workers that recommended the BlackShark V2 headset. I verified with my own eyes the WIRED headset has a 3.5 mm jack for the new Xbox controllers. I loved the detachable mic for travel, a mutable button on the left ear, and and volume control knob for quick adjustments. The comfortability is amazing and on par with my Cloud II's which I can wear all day. The mic is sturdy and clear. The Spatial Audio is night and day compared to a $20 headset off Amazon. They are easy to adjust and durable for travel needs. ***IMPORTANT NOTE*** There is a difference between the BlackShark V2 and thr BlackShark V2 THX. I got the sound card THX model to which I found out from Razer customer service that the Razer THX Synapse application IS NOT FREE.... This application allows you to tweak your audio levels for your personal needs. It's a one time fee of $20. But if you claim ignorance to Razer customer service like I did because I really didn't know they will give you a one time 50% off code. The regular BlackShark V2 7.1 comes with the free software. The difference between the two?? Apparently, the THX software is their version of "premium audio software"... Anyway! I love this headset and highly recommend it for your travel gaming needs. I bought a used "very good" condition one for $30 and have had zero issues. Hope this review helped someone! ***8/30/22 Update*** Unfortunately, after using this headset for 2 months the spatial audio just isn't where I need it to be. The 7.1 surround sound doesn't do anything for in game audio detection even with Razers Premium audio THX program. Picked up some a Phillips and AudioTechnica headsets.
