Razer BlackShark V2 Pro Wireless Gaming Headset: THX 7.1 Spatial Surround Sound - 50mm Drivers - Detachable Mic - for PC, PS5, PS4, Switch, White

What more can you ask for? I use this headset quite a bit and its always comfortable. I not only game but I work from home, as a supervisor I have 4-5 meetings every single day so I use this headset for at least 7-8 hours each day. It has enough battery life to stay wireless the entire day and to ensure I can game at night I simply charge it while I'm at lunch. I've never actually gotten a "low battery" notice. Now, that's all great but how they sound is probably even more important. I LOVE how these sound. They have good bass without being ridiculous and boomy like some gaming headphones. They have fantastic directional sound for games and I enjoy the overall sound quality/profile. Another great feature for me is the mic. This is a GREAT mic. As I stated earlier I run quite a few meetings and my teams immediately noticed how much better I sounded once I started using this headset. It does well blocking out background noise yet ensuring I sound crisp. Overall, for under $150 I just don't see there being a better wireless headset option. To get something better you're going to be spending well over $200 and more than likely into the $300 range. My ONE complaint is the mute button. It is quite sensitive and its right next to the power button which you need to hold for a few seconds to turn on. This causes me to accidently mute myself when attempting to turn on the headset. its a minor annoyance but still... I'd have moved the mute button to the other cup or at least away from the power button. Overall, for me, this headset has been great. I wear it nearly all day every day and it still looks brand new. If you're looking for an affordable gaming headset that sounds great and has battery life to run all day I absolutely recommend the Blackshark V2.

My son requested these for gaming with his buddies and he loves it! He probably loves them even more because when he's wearing them, he can't hear me yelling at him to clean his room...LOL! I will say that I wanted to try them out so I could give a real and honest review and they are so nice. They are comfortable to wear, have EXCELLENT sound quality and they really do block out all other noise. The microphone is great quality and the person on the other end has zero issues hearing you. Whether you are looking at these to use for fun or work, you can't go wrong with these. I know they are a little higher than some others out there but, you definelty get what you pay for with these. He's had them a little over a year now and they are just like the day we bought them!

Overall for gaming I give it 5 stars, nothing at all to complain about and the sound quality is excellent as well as is the spatial sound. For general use, perfect. Very comfortable, even more so than my other headset which was twice the cost (Corsair Virtuoso RGB XT). For musical listening, if you are an 'audiophile' or just someone who puts a lot of value on musical sound quality, this headset will require some fine tuning to sound great. Fortunately, the Razer application this headset uses has a built in adjustable EQ that is capable of handling this task based on your preferences and input. After going through and adjusting the EQ while listening to some reference tracks I am familiar with, the headset performs quite admirably for musical content as well.

The two major drawbacks of this headset were the range and sound quality. Now, quality is subjective, so I can't really fault it for not standing up to studio headsets like HD600 and ATH70x. But from a gaming headset perspective, I would have expected some better quality. Mostly the range was the killing blow. I couldn't walk across my room without it blipping and disconnecting, even within line of sight of the connector. And the same USB port was fine with my EPOS 370 or Corsair Virtuoso plugged in, and anything BT just put the range to shame.For the range reason alone, I am returning the product. I work from home and need to be able to walk around while on the phone or go to the kitchen or do my laundry all while listening in on a conference call.If range isn't that important to you and if you aren't an audiophile, then these may be very worth it. Here are some of the things that I really wish my ultimate choice headphone had:+ Volume knob is super easy to feel operate. I'm never catching my hair in it while I try and operate it.+ The build really feels high quality. The textured nature of the plastic has a premium touch and it just feels like a quality set. The way it is shaped and adjusts is unique. I could also take it on and off very easily with my long hair not catching at all (partly due to the use of cloth instead of leatherette). Notably, I could adjust them without grabbing my hair. These are the only headphones I've worn that made me feel very confident that I wasn't going to pull my hair while doing so. That was actually super comforting.+ The power button functions as a pause/play/answer/hangup button! That was actually amazing and I found myself using it quite a bit. I really REALLY wish this was a feature on any of my other headsets.+ The mic was removable and easy to add back. I have the Corsair Virtuoso, and the removable mic is difficult to get on and off. I do go through long periods of gaming where I'm not going to be talking to anyone, so having the option to just remove the mic is a good one. But I don't find myself removing that one due to having to take the headphone off just to get the mic on. The BlackSharks, however, could more easily get the Mic back in without much issue.These are not the most comfortable headphones I've owned (that actually goes to the Soundcore Q35 and second to my ATH70x, which is wired). But I easily found myself going all day with them while at work without an issue. They didn't feel like they needed a breaking in period.Minor gripe that may be big for others: micro USB. Like I had gotten rid of everything else that was micro USB. All my other devices are USB-C, which makes it super easy to charge things from a set of the same cables. So why? I could have overlooked this for the fact that the battery was seemingly good from the beginning.Minor plus: the microphone right out of the box was actually good at reducing background noise, though it didn't sound that great to begin with. NVIDIA Broadcast app is like cheat-mode for removing background noise, and I run that all the time. So, this was a small thing to consider, but just out of the box, it could keep down the sound of my mechanical keyboard to a minimum, which was not something any other headset had seemed to be do. Props to that.Ultimately the sound quality was so pale compared to the EPOS 370's which were (for me at the time) $40 cheaper. That and the range was enough for me to return these, even with a super convenient shape for me and the pause/play button I found myself using a TON. I use that all the time on my Soundcore Q35's. But still, it's a return for me. Again, if range isn't a problem (you'll just be sitting at your desk or on the sofa across from the TV) and you're not spoiled by audiophile-ish cans, then these should be just fine if not on the pricy side for something with micro-USB still.
