The media could not be loaded. Sorry for long review but it’s detailed and honest and will absolutely help with your decision.This headset is designed for GAMING and they do just that and more, I GURANTEE you will be beyond happy with this product. ((Id like to say I’ve owned and used these almost everyday for 5 and half months)) If you’ve never owned a Razer product I promise they won’t disappoint you, you should see what your missing out on. Plus 2 year warranty and awesome customer support. I LOVE this headset and I’ve owned turtle beaches, Astro a-10’s, and I’ve tried arctic steelseries 5. Blackshark V2x is simply a better product and you should buy them.1.) SOUND QUALITY: The 50mm triforce drivers should make this headset more and $50-60. With frequency range of 12hz – 28hz you get the most dynamic sound range which is crisp, clean, and defined, plus the triforce technology that no other headset has..Most headsets in the price range are usually 40mm drivers and 20hz-20hz with neodymium magnets which is basic and nothing new. The bass hits HARD and crisp with mids and treble being very clear and loud. not a muddy/staticky sound of all three combined. They’ve got a super wide range of volume,you can just keep turning and turning the volume nob until they are so loud but still crystal clear audio. 2.)COMFORT AND BUILD QUALITY: They are very lightweight and super easy to wear for longgg periods of time. The overall quality and feel of the headset is sturdy thick plastic, not cheap creeking plastic, with metal or aluminum adjustment sliders. The ear cushions and very soft leathery material and stays nice and firm, with the material quality being superb, so after months of use you won’t have flat, hard earpads. The actual size of the ear cups and awesome not to small to here the crush the tops of your ears they go completely around them for nice comfortable seal on the sides of your head with plenty of room for your ears. This the kind of headset that you will forget you have on. They got the perfect clamping force to stay put and not feel like it’s crushing you, the memory foam keeps them comfortable and in place. The headband is nice and cushioned with leathery material. When it comes to adjusting it on your head it has a dirtent type of adjustment functionality. You can get precise adjustment perfect for you head. It’s not one singular piece to move it slides and 2 diffrent parts on left and right side to get the PERFECT position you like, with ear cups being able to swivel to help even more to seal around your ears and countour of your head. 3.) NOISE CANCELLATION: Razer did a very good job with noise cancellation because of the memory foam ear cups that get a good seal on side of your head as I said above. My mom hates it because she can’t yell at me from living room when I have them on. They make for awesome immersive experience, only being able to hear the sweet sounds of gaming,with no background outside noise. The memory foam ear pads really help keep outside noise out. I’m assuming if they were some fabric material sound would seep through. 4.)MICROPHONE QUALITY: I’ve gotten multiple compliments about the clarity of the mic, always asking what mic I have and their surprised by the answer. It’s pretty damn impressive for this headset in this price range, the mic is just as good as some “streamer mics”. I Never have problems with echoes or like static background noise. It’s literally dead quiet until you speak and it only picks up your voice. We all know if you have a ceiling fan on it can be heard when you talk. This mic doesn’t pick up that sound literally just your voice and you don’t need to have the mic super close to your mouth, can have it decently away and you’ll still sound loud and clear on the other end. Like I said it’s pretty damn impressive for the price of this headset. 5.) CONS I DONT LIKE: •Microphone doesn’t flip up(blackshark V2 has removable mic).•The cord is a rubbery material and no matter what it never seems to straighten out completely, braided cord would be better.•The headset cable is not removable, so if you break it the headset is toast.

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!

I’ve been using this headset for 20 days, and really like it.The cord length is different than what I thought it would be. The cord directly attaches to the headset (with a well designed strain relief) and is 4′ 4″ (or 52″) long, and ends with a TRRS connector. There is an extension cord that allows you to plug in the headset TRRS connector, and ends in two TRS connectors that should be plugged into a desktop computers’ microphone jack and speaker jack. The cord seems to be a very durable cord.I use a laptop which has a TRRS jack, so I cannot use the extension cord, to I was a bit disappointed that the card wasn’t as long as I hoped. However, it is long enough to work fine, so I didn’t take any stars off for this.I use this headset a lot for remote work, and almost never for computer games. The sound quality is really good. The headset and padding’s passive noise reduction is good, and is better than most headphones and headsets that I have used in the past.This headset is extremely comfortable to wear. The adjustments were easy to make. Most other headphones/headsets put a lot more pressure on my ears. This headset applies just enough pressure for the padding to seal off all around my ears, so that the noise reduction can happen. The top padding is very good, and I hardly notice the headphones pushing down on the top of my head.I’ve asked other people in meetings how I sound, and they have all said that my microphone is working well and I sound good.I have been wearing BTE (Behind The Ear) hearing aids for a long time, and most headsets cause them to whistle or scream. This is the first OTE (Over The Ear) headset I’ve ever owned where my hearing aids don’t whistle or scream, which is so nice!!!Overall, this headset is a great headset, and is designed and manufactured very well. I would recommend this to family and friends if they want to spend a little more for a quality headset.

For years my wife has had had her oversized mic when we game together. The mic was finally giving out and the quality of the sound was poor so I suggested shed use the same headset I was using. She now loves it. Good mic quality, sound and noise cancellation. Overall a great mic for a good price.

For what it costs, I had relatively low expectations of this headset. I came from a Corsair Virtuoso SE wireless headset that had a great mic and very good sound, but the connection with my PS4 was never very solid and I would notice relatively frequent dropouts in audio. Friends with PS4s swore by using the 3.5mm jack on the controller and I decided to use this to test.Build QualityWhen you pick up the headset the first thing you notice is just how light it is. It feels somewhat solid, but also it’s clear that this is not a headset that prioritized premium materials. It’s also extremely comfortable because of how light it is. Although I’ve never had issues with heavier headsets and neck pain, if that is a consideration the light materials should be great for long term sessions.The pads are faux leather on the interior ring and exterior ring. The part that rests against your head feels like something a little more breathable. I don’t think I will have any issues wearing these for long sessions. The clamping force is a good moderate level where they won’t fall off accidentally, but I don’t feel like I am in a death grip.Mic QualityI made some calls using the mic and, I believe this to be a great compliment to the quality of the mic, no one thought I was on a headset. “It’s like you were actually talking through your phone.” Although they have a gamer vibe, I could definitely see using these on conference calls (as long as the video was off.) Basically, the mic is great.Audio QualityHere’s where I was expecting things to fall apart, but they really didn’t. I decided to make a completely unfair comparison between these and my pair of Sennheiser HD600s run off of an AudioQuest DragonFly Black DAC/AMP. There was clearly no contest between the two headphones in terms of vocals or detail retrieval, but the Razer wasn’t a bad headphone by any means. It had a clear and present bass, without being muddy. I do feel like the Corsair Virtuoso had a more full sound, but the spotty connection ruined it.Gaming tends to be, I think, more forgiving than listening to music … so I ran through a couple of games as a test. I tried a game that I feel focuses on background music (Unravel), which sounded great. I also tried something with more exploding (Borderlands 3) and the headset felt equally competent.Flaws (But Not Deal Breakers)The volume knob goes the opposite of the way my mind treats every other volume knob in my life. Clockwise turns the sound down?! WHY?!I would have loved an LED to remind me that I’m muted. My first attempted call failed because the mute was engaged.

I don’t play as many games online as I used to and I listen to a lot more music. For me, it makes sense to have a great pair of headphones for music and solo play as well as a cheap headset for online play with friends and conference calls. This works for me.

These headphones are a game-changer for calls – the microphone clarity is top-notch, ensuring clear communication. They transition between calls and music, offering a balanced audio profile. The lightweight design and comfortable fit make them ideal for extended use.Connecting via USB or Bluetooth is hassle-free, and the impressive noise isolation tackles background distractions effortlessly. Overall, a versatile and reliable choice for both work and leisure.

The biggest plus is the fit. I wear them for hours at a time so they need to be very soft at the ears and top of the head and the ear cups need to be large enough to not squish my ears. Interior of the ear cups are 4cm x 7cm so my ears fit within them easily. The added benefit is the ear cups form a solid audio seal around my ears significantly muting external noise. Sound quality is fantastic with lots of bass for inexpensive headphones. Mute & volume controls on headset are easy to access. Best I’ve used at this price range.

Seriously, it’s the best headset I’ve ever owned. Great mic noise canceling and very very comfortable. I highly recommend it. I work from home and on my computer 12-13 hours a day if not more, and the other headsets I’ve owned (on the less expensive side) have served their purpose, but either the mics would break, or the ear cups have cheap foam and would wear out quick or not sit right. These are really, really comfortable, and will probably buy another pair for my Xbox controller and one for my kids. worth every penny

Just arrived! I’ve also purchased a 3.5mm plug to a RJ9 phone jack. These headphones paired with the jack will be used with a Citrix work phone. I’m crossing my fingers this will work. The typical headsets hurt the top of my head and my ears after long daily use. You can see why I’d choose these.I can say that unboxing them and putting them on was wonderful, super soft, and light weight. The cord is nice and long and came with an equally long extension. Very nice. I’m impressed so far.I’ll update later.
