The industry needs more videos like this. Nicely done. Honestly I'm happy even at the 3 month mark or if a member of the team takes it home instead of you personally racking up the hours and then returns it for you to do another mini-review to see how it held up.
Ty for this coverage, I think it's very important to know these products last because not everyone thinks a 40-100$ is "budget", so if they do pull the trigger it's a shame if it breaks in less than s year.
Yeah, for me I bought the Hyper x cloud alpha headset a few years ago which is a bit more expensive than the razer. Though I do see them on sale pretty often. But it is one of the best purchases I've ever made. It is without a doubt worth the extra $25-30. Its in a whole other stratosphere of pretty much every category compared to the razer headset. Actually razer headsets in general. At least in that price range of under 100.
Review check-ins like this are what have made RTINGS the best in the industry when it comes to television reviews. Really happy to see this becoming standard for other reviewers.
Honestly, my Blackshark V2 is honestly in perfect shape after 8 months now. But there is one problem with all the Blackshark line-up, when the volume knob is at 50%...the left earcup is a bit quiet while the right earcup is louder...but when the volume knob is at 80-90%...both earcup sound equal. It's a bit annoying...
Long-term usage is one of those things that are easily overlooked by reviewers often and is really important for new customers to consider. Thank you for making this video because this will help me consider which headset to buy in the near future. I'd also love long-term reviews of other headsets like Corsair's HS35 & 50 (if possible).
Got my V2 X today - they're wonderful! And I'm happy to say that the splitter connection is SUPER tight, so either I lucked out or they've improved it in subsequent runs! Thanks for the coverage, guys, it's really appreciated.
@@LawAbidingSociopath69 I had an issue with sound being louder in the left ear than the right, but after troubleshooting and ordering an exchange (and going through a different brand of headphones) and still having the problem, I figured out it was a problem with my PC. Once that was sorted out, my newest pair had no problems with my PC (afaik) - so where the actual headset's concerned, I'm still satisfied, lol. Definitely worth 40 bucks, which it goes for on Amazon US.
@@NoahRichard If this is still an issue, you can fix it by right-clicking the speaker's button next to the wifi symbol and the time symbol, press on "sounds" then playback, find the headphones ( they should have a green tick next to them) double click on them, then press "Levels", then where it says "Speakers" on the right side click on the "Balance" then you can tweak how much sound comes through each ear. Hope this helps. Edit: I just finished what you said and now I feel dumb.
My only complaint is that they don't feel as loud as I'd want them to be. Maybe it's that my onboard audio isn't great on my motherboard. I'm building a new PC rn with a much better mb so that might help but idk
Excellent information, there need to be more mid/long term reviews like this. Greatly appreciated. Seeing how a headphone performs as it ages is extremely important. Please do more mid/long term reviews like this, it impacts us in our purchase decision process.
If anyone's wondering how long these can last, I've been using mine for almost 3 years now and have had no issue on a technical level nor have they lost any sound/mic quality over the years. These are absolutely great as long as you take care of them.
This is why I love this channel, these are real, honest and substantiated reviews. Over the years had a bunch of different products that then have long term issues, these video reviews is exactly what people are looking for but is often overlooked by most other channels. Thanks guys!
yeah me too. no problems with the splitter, i sometimes plug it halfway out just blow my friends' ears out because of the sound it sends to the microphone
More long term coverage would be a great addition to your channel. We come here for reviews, but reviews only tell so much without longevity follow-ups. Keep it coming!
1 year of use, headphone has still not flaked, boomarm is okay but mic quality was not the clear since day one (probably PC audio codec problem). Would definitely recommend this headphone
I use the V2, held up well. Yes, removable mic does help. I bought it probably a month after release so the extensions are also holding up or rather unnoticeable if they aren't.
In comparison, I STILL have and use my HyperX cloud for 6 years on a daily basis, microphone arm stays in place, comfy as it was on day one, clamping force and ear cup adjustment stays firmly locked in place, and sound quality has stayed the same. That is something I appreciate a lot, 6 years and still going strong.. you can't beat quality
Well in my experience, I bought a razer kraken pro back in early 2015, and I still use it till this day. I mean the mic doesn't work and the connectors aren't perfect, but hey, for 6 years of daily usage that's okay. But I'm afraid it won't last that long anymore
My Razer Deathadder 2013 bought in 2013 is still working perfectly. I've used it every single day since then and it's working just fine. Also, still looks brand new.
Bought razer thresher 7.1 for PS4, still working for 3 years, no lags, no charging problems, earpads aren't ripped. Currently using it on PC, don't know what are talking about, it's comfortable and doesn't make my ears hurt.
yea razer definitely doesn't have a great long term reputation, the only product I've bought from them was their razer phone 2 and basically everything broke after a year and a lot of people had the same issues too
Thanks a lot for the long term review. I bought the V2 X two months ago, and I really like them and had no issues so far... Although the four-pole jack it's pretty much fixed on my desktop, and I don't move the mic often neither. The volume knob I'd say I move it just a couple times a day, still feels brand new. I'm gladly satisfied with the headset, and like you, I think it's a great product for the price.
I've used the V2 X for almost 2 years straight now, and it has never ever let me down. Absolute unit of a headset especially for the price, I can't recommend it enough
I got the more expensive V2 right around the time your review came out and they are holding up wonderfully. Definitely the best headset purchase I've ever made, and for a good price too
yes and no. Razer is very notorious for inconsistent quality control. My razer deathadder 2013 lasted for only almost 2 years before double clicking started appearing while some other people's lasted for more than 4 years, some lasted for not even a year. It's just really inconsistent.
Something worth mentioning is that the microphone has two sides and there's holes on both sides so it's not easy to know which one you're supposed to talk into but there's a microphone symbol on one of the sides so if people don't hear you or it's not picking up your voice then take off the filter and make sure it's the right way 👍
I bought these ones less than a month ago. The main things I noticed so far were: -7.1 surround sound is hit or miss. In some games it sounds good, whereas others you just get this horrible bass boost of different sounds, and turning it off makes the sound tinny at low volume. I would love to have an EQ to fix this, so if anyone knows please let me know. -Wearing them on my neck for a prolonged time feels odd.... There are a few contact points on the back of my head and the sides of my neck which make it a bit uncomfortable. -The microphone is, as you mentioned, begging to get loose. Had Razer designed a retractable or removable mic this probably would've been much better. To its defense though, the mic levels are quite good, if not a bit saturated with my voice, compared to the ones I had before (GXT 363). -I haven't had issues with the splitter, though I'm hoping Razer sells replacement cables.
Honestly I have one and it's still great. bought it back in August and hasn't been giving any issues. I guess the only big thing is that the volume dial is a little weird and beyond a point turns into mono audio.
@@adnanjairajpuri Still works fine, mic sound good, nothing is broken. The volume dial still has a bad channel imbalance but its been like that since factory.
@@bottomtext5872 What about now is it still holding up well? I just recently bought mine and I'm honestly really satisfied with it, though I'm really worried about the leather material on the headband peeling lol.
I am still using a Steel Series Siberia V2. I am so convinced by this headset that even when my old one became dying I bought another Siberia V2. What really bothers me is that there barely is any spare parts to buy and I am a bit sad that there is no Siberia row being produced anymore.
Definitely need more videos like this. Lots of products work well for like 3 months then issues start popping up. That said, I actually did buy the V2 after watching and reading several reviews. My only real issue 4 months later is that my monitors will not sleep with the USB soundcard plugged in so I have to just turn them off myself. I haven't found a way to fix this, though randomly for about 2 weeks it did let the monitors sleep. Other than that they're working well for and what I paid I'm still content with them. My last headset was the Logitech G430 and the Blackshark V2 has been leagues better so far for not much more cost.
I got mine 2 years ago for AU$48. I have experienced some of the frustrations highlighted in this video, the adjustment sliding on its own over time, the extention being pulled out easily if I'm quickly reaching for something with my headphones on and today I've started noticing a popping noise coming from the headphones, I'm hoping it's something I can fix and I wont have to replace these headphones yet. The fake leather has held up surprisingly well, whereas my much more expensive Audio Technica headphones had leather peeling issues.
I've had them for one and a half years as my only audio device, and they are as good as in they one. Never had a single problem, audio wheel still solid, microphone arm still stiff, and stays in position, and the audio quality is still good.
If it can help anyone, I had these headphones for about a year and at the end the adjustments was loose making it impossible to adjust it to my head comfortability hurting my ears quite a lot, especially during long hours sessions, sound was fine and nobody complained about my mic either, it was simply super inconfortable for me at least. I'd recomment the hyper x cloud x instead. By far the most comfortable pair of gaming headset i own. To me, they sound better, also didnt have any complaints about the mic.
Thank you for the follow up, two of my children got a set of these for xmas. They're 10 so they tend to abuse things a little more than a teen or adult would, however the only issue present would be the mic not holding memory. I think for $59 razer knocked it out of the park on this headset, and people might be complaining a little too much for the price point. Now these issues on the v2pro i would say is unacceptable.
I use these with my Xbox and while the default volume was a bit muted, you can go into settings to up the headphone level. This resolved all issues as it now goes to uncomfortable listening levels! If you’re using with a console have no fears!
IV had this set since Christmas. Still the best upgrade from my Corsair Raptors from 5 plus years. Splitter no issues with that snaps in, no fall out. No issues with ear cups or fake leather spinning round... Mic is good and poppy. Using with OBS audio rate at 360 , sounds awesome with playback. So for 60£ or 59$. Yes highly recommend headset as a budget by. 👍👍👍👍👍
I think this is the only headset on the market that gives good value in that price range, i couldn't believe it my self when i tried them. I was expecting them to be like everything else in that price range i have tested, but Razer actually surprised me with this one. I highly recommend these if you are looking for 60$ headset, you won't find anything better for that price. Quality is good and the sound quality is actually on point.
Idk if this one is covered by Razer’s warranty, but from my experience if this breaks within the Warranty Razer is really good with replacing it. I’ve had to replace my Kraken 2 times because My stupid ass broke it twice, and both times they’ve delivered, and the 2nd time I replaced them they actually upgraded my Kraken essential to a Kraken Pro V2.
While some places will measure the decibels, the clamping force in foot/pounds, the radius of the ear cup and then completely disassemble the product to comment on the quality of the resistors used, I rather like and appreciate the no mess, no fuss, practical approach of HC. Well done, once again.
Really appreciate this. I bought this headset after hearing you compare it's microphone in the PC38X video and I was honestly shocked at the quality. My copy has a firm connection at the splitter and the earcup pads don't show any give but we'll see how it holds up. The sliding adjustment is also firm out of the box. For $44 I'm very content as I would have expected to need to pay somewhere around double for effectively the same quality. Thanks again for this video and for including all of the comparisons in your other headphone videos as well as the roundups!
I've been using a trust gxt340 headset for 5 years and recently got a Blackshark V2 X, the trust one sounds better but comfort, materials and the overall experience is way better with Razer (gxt340 costs $30)
Nice, would like a long term on PC38x, I sometimes am getting cracking sound when changing volume on the knob. Also sometimes, there is no sound from 1 ear cup, i have fully disconnect and reconnect to get the sounds back to normal
Really it depends on the product with every company. My only experience from Razer is the Wolverine Ultimate controller but the longevity of the controller in my experience is much shorter than a standard Xbox controller.
Hey Dmitry, I own the Blackshark v2. I've had it since September/October and originally was going to get the v2x after seeing your video on it, but best buy was out of them at the time so I ended up with the v2. Anyhoots I too am surprised at how long the material is holding up compared to the original Blackshark I owned from like 2 years ago? The mic for me has yet to lose its positional memory but then again there are times when I disconnect the mic when I'm not using it. The sound on mine is pretty strong going still and have yet to notice any sound or bass loss. All in all I've enjoyed it and for me the mic is way better than the original blackshark, only thing i noticed since owning these was the built in mute button as I was that a lot in discord or when playing on the ps4, speaking of the volume on console seems pretty well and I rarely have to use the nob on the headset unless it's needed. But yeah just wanted to share my experience with the Blackshark v2 and that the long term type reviews are always nice to see, and will sometimes be a factor when buying something, especially computer related
It is a very good headseat budjet wise... but if you are looking for headsets that has sound quality : its GOOD... but once you experienced better sound from higher end headsets, it is VERY hard to accept this one... This one wont cut i t at all. I feel this review is totally fair : for the budget price for what you actually get those are cheap and sound good... Then if you want sound quality... you definitly have to spend on better quality headsets.
The ear cup adjustment is the exact reason why I returned my V2 Pro's. From day one the left ear cup would simply not stay in place. I got a replacement unit and the same thing happened with it, left ear cup was not in place. It's a good thing to let people know how products actually hold up.. these were really good in terms of sound quality, but everything else... Thanks for this video
i had this product for 3 month. the major issue for me is the adjustment for left and right earcup is always not symmetrical. but overall, the comfort the sound, it is all good 💪🏻
@@jed8684 yes, been using it and i would say go for it, its really good for general purposes and its like really really really great for gaming. Only thing is that I have problems with my windows 11 insider build, so couldn't test mic but I've heard that its really good too. overall I would recommend it...
I am really confused on which ones to get between this option and the Steelseries Arctis 3 Console edition. There are so much mixed reviews, I don't know which has a better Sound stage overall and better mic. I know one thing for sure that Steelseries will be hella comfortable.
@@momin542 im using blackshark v2 x and its so good, I really like it cuz the mic quality is INSANE I can do ASMR mukbangs with this and it is pretty comfortable
Love mine. I haven't noticed any issues that you've mentioned. Mic is probably the best one I've ever had for a headset and very much so worth the money.
So the feedback loop is still an issue, but the cable is an easy fix! I just used a different splitter and it’s sits really snug! Another issue I find is that the microphone and headphone plugs aren’t clearly enough labeled. The color coding is there but I would like a headphone and a microphone print/indent somewhere on the jack.
hey man is this headset bad for watching movies and listening to song? i want to buy this one but really confused with that...i know it's great for gaming but is it good for movies/songs too? plz help here
I think I'm going to give the V2 X a shot, since they're currently $40 on Amazon. My current Turtle Beach Ear Force X11 is many years old, and needs replacing. I have always preferred game audio through speakers, not a headset, so my main use for this is going to be the mic, to talk to my friends on Discord or the Xbox app on my PC or phone. In fact, I tend to just rest my headset around my neck and speak through the mic without even plugging in the incoming audio cable. As long as the mic quality stays solid for a long time, this will be very worthwhile for me. I'll probably try to play some games with the headset, like War Thunder or something, just to see if the audio difference really helps or hinders me. After watching your original review and this, I think it'll be my best choice. If it turns out it doesn't work so well in six months to a year from now, it was only $40. Thanks so much for the review and information!
m8 u cant play competitive shooter wo headset...not possible....ok, possible but with good amount of frustration....so if you play CS, PUBG and simil. put the damn headset ;)
Had the PC-37X for about 3 years, and have literally 0 issues, as great as day 1. 10/10 would recommend. Not sure about the 38X, but I'd hope they didn't make it worse
I bought the blackshark wireless and they sound much better than my wireless steelseries, also a lot lighter. Was concerned by how fragile the extension arms are, but they seem fine to me as I set the height for my head once and then never move them, I don't see how it would ever be an issue unless other people share the headset or you accidentally sit on them!
@@ruslankazimov622 Still use them maybe 4 hours per day, still charges good, battery lasts about 3 days and they still feel solid ( no broken pieces) still sound amazing.
i have been using the hyper x cloud 2 since 2018 and it still sounds great and the mic boom is still stiff due to it being removable. but the downside is that the pleather earcups is now flaking and unusable but the velour pads still works great. I am currently looking after market earcups that are similar to the V2, fabric on the contact side while pleather on the rest
@@Berkay-oh2xh I used the cloud 2 for maybe 4 years amazing headset and I really like it but after this time I faced an issue with my mic it keep making sounds and annoying my friends. So I think if you can afford the cloud 2 go for it and don't worry about the mic issue because I couldn't find anyone comblind about it. Sorry about my language English isn't my mother tongue.
Wow, I was just checking your other video about this headphone, and right after finish it, here it is, one hour after posting the video, the ONLY THING THAT I WAS GETTING ANXIOUS ABOUT BUYING IT, the long term coverages!!! THANKS!! +1 Sub!!
that is issue with your hardware that cause the bleeding effect which problem, try use front or back or setting under sound at bottom right taskbar and choose allow device to handle the sound
Same thing happened to me but with a different headset on Xbox I would have my mic muted but they could hear the background game noise . I’m guessing it’s the controller that causes that if not then if someone has the knowledge on how to fix it I would appreciate it very much
I grabbed the V2 and have been pleased with their performance. As a glasses wearer they are as comfortable or more than my Astro A40’s. Astro’s have slightly better soundstage, but just a little better. For the $79 I spent I have been happy.
I've been using a Razer Tiamat headset from around ~2011 every day and so far so good. No issues, still sound great, so hissing or popping to speak of. I used an original Blackwidow mechanical keyboard from around the same time period for about 8 years before finally replacing it because of some issues that began to crop up. I've also had a couple of Razer mice that I used for two or three years at various points over the last decade or so. I've yet to run in to the consistent reliability problems that people popularly attribute to Razer products.
Wow... the downsides and faults of the headphone really shows. I was about to buy it too, thanks for this long term review video. Maybe they should make an improved version of the V2 X. Maybe better implemented hinges, better dongle and ear cushion.
Razer Tiamat 7.1 Version 1, still the best sound for me. (Only bad thing is that it's a true 7.1 Headset so you need a 7.1 Audio Card that most laptops still don't have) Also i still don't get why they use leatherette material in Headsets or Chairs. After some years it becomes awful, tearing to pieces. (It's like they want you to buy a new product after 2-3 years) (You can fix this as i did, if you just rub the ear-cushions until all the leatherette is gone and then sew some fabric on it)
i tried it on a 7.1 motherboard it was ok but nothing amazing...my guess is i need a dedicated 7.1 sound card and i did try that but i couldent get the old 7.1 cards working on my computer
@@sephirothlv100my motherboard is Asus Sabertooth P67 ~10years old. Maybe you didn't have Audio Controller Drivers installed? Mine uses Realtek Audio Controller and you need to select 7.1 Channel (Inside Realtek Controller), also enable Bass. (Cause when i tried them on a friend before i bought them he had Bass not enabled... Also when using Realtek Audio Controller, when you select 7.1 Channel don't forget to set the distance for every speaker to 0 m (cause its a Headset (not a 7.1 Home Theater Speaker System) and its distance from my ear is like 0.0m) For me it's still by far the best Headset... Also i had tried to use 2 Tiamat 7.1 Version 1 Headsets on 1 Computer, mine and my friends, on my friends old computer with an MSI Motherboard (Also had a Realtek Audio Controller). I just used 5x3,5mm Audio Spliter Cables (For Mic, Center-Bass, Front Left-Right, Side Left-Right, Back Left-Right) and it worket like a charm. Even both mic's worked perfectly on Motherboard's Sound Card. (If you need anything let me know :) )
After you posted the first video review of both headsets , 2 days later i purchased the Razer Black Shark V2 and i fckn love it So i guess...well done promoting the product 😄
@@vorcegoku3255 bro still wearing it right now and still the same opinion..you can chose between "normal usb sound from the headset or THX from the soundcard that brings, wich make the sound awsome", you know before they said the Razor headset's where very crapy, but now they managed to do it right with this 2
@@vorcegoku3255 was actually thinking about buyng the V2 X (the cheapest version) for my wife, besides the sound, the coushoning on this headsets is awsome, very very confy to wear
I like razer products, but a friend of mine and myself have bought a hyperx cloud 2, and its still amazing after 4+ years. I can even use it a little for music production. long sleeved cables, nice build quality, no software nonesense, amazing mic, etc.
I’ve had these since like a month after release and in my opinion they are very good, to this day I’ve not noticed any fault with them other than the fact that the ear cup material isn’t for me especially in the heatwave the UK is experiencing as it isn’t too breatheable, the mic is alright and the audio quality is really good, I’ve used this on an Xbox one, Xbox series X and a PS5 and I’ve had no issues at all, the bass is nice and boomy just like how I like it and because of this I’m considering getting the razer blackshark V2 pro wireless as an upgrade
They are really great. Ive had them for over two years now, playing every day for 3 or 4 hour straight, and still they feel like brand new. No issues what so ever. Sound is super good for gaming and music. I play warzone alot, and man can i hear the footsteps of the opponents, and tell exactly where they are. Its a grat headset, and for the price, no comparison !
I'm still using my Razer Kraken 7.1 v2 from 2016. Completely fine. Tiny bit of wear on the ear cups and the cable sound is slightly annoying when rubbing against clothing but sound and mic quality is superb
Hi, i recently bought the v2 X and used them for a few hours. The problems that you are mentioning seem to be non-existent on my pair. The cable is not loose in any way. One problem i found is that my microphone produced a lot of static noise. I resolved that by installing RTX Voice. Thanks for the update!
I just got these today. I should have been warned about the bass overload. Im slightly intoxicated while writing this comment. But these headphones are completely made for my needs so far

1 year of use, headphone has still not flaked, boomarm is okay but mic quality was not the clear since day one (probably PC audio codec problem). Would definitely recommend this headphone
I use the V2, held up well. Yes, removable mic does help. I bought it probably a month after release so the extensions are also holding up or rather unnoticeable if they aren't.
I look pretty stupid bringing a giant headset(In relation to my head) around in public. Good thing I got Galaxy Buds Lives now.
Is it worth the purchase?
In comparison, I STILL have and use my HyperX cloud for 6 years on a daily basis, microphone arm stays in place, comfy as it was on day one, clamping force and ear cup adjustment stays firmly locked in place, and sound quality has stayed the same.
That is something I appreciate a lot, 6 years and still going strong.. you can't beat quality
I’ve never been this early! This is the kind of video we need! Razer haven’t got a great long term reputation
Well in my experience, I bought a razer kraken pro back in early 2015, and I still use it till this day. I mean the mic doesn't work and the connectors aren't perfect, but hey, for 6 years of daily usage that's okay. But I'm afraid it won't last that long anymore
My Razer Deathadder 2013 bought in 2013 is still working perfectly. I've used it every single day since then and it's working just fine. Also, still looks brand new.
Bought razer thresher 7.1 for PS4, still working for 3 years, no lags, no charging problems, earpads aren't ripped. Currently using it on PC, don't know what are talking about, it's comfortable and doesn't make my ears hurt.
yea razer definitely doesn't have a great long term reputation, the only product I've bought from them was their razer phone 2 and basically everything broke after a year and a lot of people had the same issues too
@@Creeper_-gl1lr lol fym, you only bought 1 product from them and act like you know a lot 💀💀
Rocking my Blackshark V2, since day 1. Feels Brand new.
I may be lucky, but I hope nothing bad happens in the future.
how is it now. updates?
@@lilsxmi7332 Still the same! Still using them!
How about now? How do they hold up?
Still good gonna buy if it is? @@TheYToLDSCHooL
This is awesome. We need more of those long term coverages! Keeping my awesome HyperX Cloud Alpha S
for now
Thanks a lot for the long term review. I bought the V2 X two months ago, and I really like them and had no issues so far... Although the four-pole jack it's pretty much fixed on my desktop, and I don't move the mic often neither. The volume knob I'd say I move it just a couple times a day, still feels brand new.
I'm gladly satisfied with the headset, and like you, I think it's a great product for the price.
I've used the V2 X for almost 2 years straight now, and it has never ever let me down. Absolute unit of a headset especially for the price, I can't recommend it enough
yo how can i know if mine are original or fake?
I got the more expensive V2 right around the time your review came out and they are holding up wonderfully. Definitely the best headset purchase I've ever made, and for a good price too
People usually treat there products bad and that causes problems. Ive dropped my v2 blackshark many times and still perfect condition
yes and no. Razer is very notorious for inconsistent quality control. My razer deathadder 2013 lasted for only almost 2 years before double clicking started appearing while some other people's lasted for more than 4 years, some lasted for not even a year. It's just really inconsistent.
Something worth mentioning is that the microphone has two sides and there's holes on both sides so it's not easy to know which one you're supposed to talk into but
there's a microphone symbol on one of the sides so if people don't hear you or it's not picking up your voice then take off the filter and make sure it's the right way 👍
Good point. Thank you for clearing it for us ❤
I bought these ones less than a month ago.
The main things I noticed so far were:
-7.1 surround sound is hit or miss. In some games it sounds good, whereas others you just get this horrible bass boost of different sounds, and turning it off makes the sound tinny at low volume. I would love to have an EQ to fix this, so if anyone knows please let me know.
-Wearing them on my neck for a prolonged time feels odd.... There are a few contact points on the back of my head and the sides of my neck which make it a bit uncomfortable.
-The microphone is, as you mentioned, begging to get loose. Had Razer designed a retractable or removable mic this probably would've been much better. To its defense though, the mic levels are quite good, if not a bit saturated with my voice, compared to the ones I had before (GXT 363).
-I haven't had issues with the splitter, though I'm hoping Razer sells replacement cables.
What is an EQ? What do they do?
@@dinothemcboy9219 equalizer settings, basically tuning the sound so it's right for you.
Honestly I have one and it's still great. bought it back in August and hasn't been giving any issues. I guess the only big thing is that the volume dial is a little weird and beyond a point turns into mono audio.
Update?
@@adnanjairajpuri Still works fine, mic sound good, nothing is broken. The volume dial still has a bad channel imbalance but its been like that since factory.
@@bottomtext5872 thank you
@@bottomtext5872 What about now is it still holding up well? I just recently bought mine and I'm honestly really satisfied with it, though I'm really worried about the leather material on the headband peeling lol.
I am still using a Steel Series Siberia V2.
I am so convinced by this headset that even when my old one became dying I bought another Siberia V2.
What really bothers me is that there barely is any spare parts to buy and I am a bit sad that there is no
Siberia row being produced anymore.
Definitely need more videos like this. Lots of products work well for like 3 months then issues start popping up. That said, I actually did buy the V2 after watching and reading several reviews. My only real issue 4 months later is that my monitors will not sleep with the USB soundcard plugged in so I have to just turn them off myself. I haven't found a way to fix this, though randomly for about 2 weeks it did let the monitors sleep. Other than that they're working well for and what I paid I'm still content with them. My last headset was the Logitech G430 and the Blackshark V2 has been leagues better so far for not much more cost.
We will try to do more of these!
I got mine 2 years ago for AU$48. I have experienced some of the frustrations highlighted in this video, the adjustment sliding on its own over time, the extention being pulled out easily if I'm quickly reaching for something with my headphones on and today I've started noticing a popping noise coming from the headphones, I'm hoping it's something I can fix and I wont have to replace these headphones yet. The fake leather has held up surprisingly well, whereas my much more expensive Audio Technica headphones had leather peeling issues.
i have had these headphones for over 3years and they are still in good condition and working perfectly
you just made my heart relief. is there any problem with the difference in quality of sound overtime?
@@Rockyrock511same😅 I buy this today
I've had them for one and a half years as my only audio device, and they are as good as in they one. Never had a single problem, audio wheel still solid, microphone arm still stiff, and stays in position, and the audio quality is still good.
I mean, what about now? It's been over 2 Yrs since the vid dropped XD. How'd they last till the end?
If it can help anyone, I had these headphones for about a year and at the end the adjustments was loose making it impossible to adjust it to my head comfortability hurting my ears quite a lot, especially during long hours sessions, sound was fine and nobody complained about my mic either, it was simply super inconfortable for me at least.
I'd recomment the hyper x cloud x instead. By far the most comfortable pair of gaming headset i own. To me, they sound better, also didnt have any complaints about the mic.
Thank you for the follow up, two of my children got a set of these for xmas. They're 10 so they tend to abuse things a little more than a teen or adult would, however the only issue present would be the mic not holding memory. I think for $59 razer knocked it out of the park on this headset, and people might be complaining a little too much for the price point. Now these issues on the v2pro i would say is unacceptable.
I use these with my Xbox and while the default volume was a bit muted, you can go into settings to up the headphone level. This resolved all issues as it now goes to uncomfortable listening levels! If you’re using with a console have no fears!
I always love your videos. Honest, thorough, and well organized. I always feel like I can trust your recommendations and opinion
IV had this set since Christmas. Still the best upgrade from my Corsair Raptors from 5 plus years.
Splitter no issues with that snaps in, no fall out.
No issues with ear cups or fake leather spinning round...
Mic is good and poppy. Using with OBS audio rate at 360 , sounds awesome with playback.
So for 60£ or 59$. Yes highly recommend headset as a budget by.
👍👍👍👍👍
Nice 👍 good to hear! I’m still going to use my pair... love it for $59!
-D.
I think this is the only headset on the market that gives good value in that price range, i couldn't believe it my self when i tried them. I was expecting them to be like everything else in that price range i have tested, but Razer actually surprised me with this one.
I highly recommend these if you are looking for 60$ headset, you won't find anything better for that price.
Quality is good and the sound quality is actually on point.
@Bona You dont use those for gaming. The Blackshark v2 X are superb. Great sound, great mic, super comfy, light, well made. Badass sound.
I think "im too poor to buy cheap tools' applies here. Its $60 now, and its gonna be $60 more when it breaks.
Ya
Idk if this one is covered by Razer’s warranty, but from my experience if this breaks within the Warranty Razer is really good with replacing it. I’ve had to replace my Kraken 2 times because My stupid ass broke it twice, and both times they’ve delivered, and the 2nd time I replaced them they actually upgraded my Kraken essential to a Kraken Pro V2.
@@enlargedquack wtf lucky
@@enlargedquack my kraken X broke after 5 months and I had to email and argue with them for a whole month for a replacement
Ever heard about "warranty"? ;)
I'm interested in the epos headset lineup they look really cool but I haven't seen a lot of coverage on them
They're the same as when they were sennheiser gsp products... So these guys reviewed them already.
While some places will measure the decibels, the clamping force in foot/pounds, the radius of the ear cup and then completely disassemble the product to comment on the quality of the resistors used, I rather like and appreciate the no mess, no fuss, practical approach of HC. Well done, once again.
Happy to hear :) and yeah I’m not into full technical content when it comes to audio.
-D.
Really appreciate this. I bought this headset after hearing you compare it's microphone in the PC38X video and I was honestly shocked at the quality. My copy has a firm connection at the splitter and the earcup pads don't show any give but we'll see how it holds up. The sliding adjustment is also firm out of the box. For $44 I'm very content as I would have expected to need to pay somewhere around double for effectively the same quality. Thanks again for this video and for including all of the comparisons in your other headphone videos as well as the roundups!
How is it going
I like that this is a re-review of the product so I know how long it lasts in term of degredation
I've been using a trust gxt340 headset for 5 years and recently got a Blackshark V2 X, the trust one sounds better but comfort, materials and the overall experience is way better with Razer (gxt340 costs $30)
I bought mine about two months ago and I love it!
Thanks for making a 6 months review!
Nice, would like a long term on PC38x, I sometimes am getting cracking sound when changing volume on the knob. Also sometimes, there is no sound from 1 ear cup, i have fully disconnect and reconnect to get the sounds back to normal
Great review again, You rock. I was thinking of getting the one with the removable mic. Because I hardly ever use it. :)
Wow, a Razer product with crappy QC, I’ve never heard of this.
Razer is not that bad. I mean it's overpriced but a lot of their products are really good.
@@dirge44 Exactly, plus if you take care of your products, they can last for a long time! (Typing this on a Razer Black Widow Elite.)
@@jadentianero9666 yeah I have razer kraken and razer mamba but an msi gs65
Really it depends on the product with every company.
My only experience from Razer is the Wolverine Ultimate controller but the longevity of the controller in my experience is much shorter than a standard Xbox controller.
@@penumbrum3135 not surprising that's not one of their strong suits. It's hit or miss and when it hits it's awesome but when it misses it sucks
really nice to see the long term use, i think these are the ones that really give so much perspective
Hey Dmitry, I own the Blackshark v2. I've had it since September/October and originally was going to get the v2x after seeing your video on it, but best buy was out of them at the time so I ended up with the v2. Anyhoots I too am surprised at how long the material is holding up compared to the original Blackshark I owned from like 2 years ago? The mic for me has yet to lose its positional memory but then again there are times when I disconnect the mic when I'm not using it. The sound on mine is pretty strong going still and have yet to notice any sound or bass loss. All in all I've enjoyed it and for me the mic is way better than the original blackshark, only thing i noticed since owning these was the built in mute button as I was that a lot in discord or when playing on the ps4, speaking of the volume on console seems pretty well and I rarely have to use the nob on the headset unless it's needed.
But yeah just wanted to share my experience with the Blackshark v2 and that the long term type reviews are always nice to see, and will sometimes be a factor when buying something, especially computer related
It is a very good headseat budjet wise... but if you are looking for headsets that has sound quality : its GOOD... but once you experienced better sound from higher end headsets, it is VERY hard to accept this one... This one wont cut i t at all. I feel this review is totally fair : for the budget price for what you actually get those are cheap and sound good... Then if you want sound quality... you definitly have to spend on better quality headsets.
The ear cup adjustment is the exact reason why I returned my V2 Pro's.
From day one the left ear cup would simply not stay in place.
I got a replacement unit and the same thing happened with it, left ear cup was not in place.
It's a good thing to let people know how products actually hold up.. these were really good in terms of sound quality, but everything else...
Thanks for this video
I still have my Krakens from like 2015 and still working without problem
i had this product for 3 month. the major issue for me is the adjustment for left and right earcup is always not symmetrical. but overall, the comfort the sound, it is all good 💪🏻
Same here. is there any solution for this? or just deal with it
This is a really good review, and just ordered this and I think that I'm gonna love this!

love the long term coverage, more more more!
As an owner of the blackshark v2 pro wireless, I am so happy I went with this over options from steelseries or Logitech, 10/10 definitely recommend.
how are hey holding up after a year?
I am really confused on which ones to get between this option and the Steelseries Arctis 3 Console edition. There are so much mixed reviews, I don't know which has a better Sound stage overall and better mic. I know one thing for sure that Steelseries will be hella comfortable.
my friend brought arctics 3 and he said he's satisfied with it although I ordered razor v2 😅😅
@@raadavijithalimurtaza951 let me know how are they if you get to compare it with your friend.
@@momin542 im using blackshark v2 x and its so good, I really like it cuz the mic quality is INSANE I can do ASMR mukbangs with this and it is pretty comfortable
@@aranyuh4605update?
long term coverage is the best thing that didnt exist before u. Personally bought them after seeing ur original review as well as another guys
Love mine. I haven't noticed any issues that you've mentioned. Mic is probably the best one I've ever had for a headset and very much so worth the money.
Well nice, the mic for me is extremely quiet (if I yell you still can't hear me) I play on console but it should be pretty much the same as PC
So the feedback loop is still an issue, but the cable is an easy fix! I just used a different splitter and it’s sits really snug! Another issue I find is that the microphone and headphone plugs aren’t clearly enough labeled. The color coding is there but I would like a headphone and a microphone print/indent somewhere on the jack.
Listening to this on my Blackshark V2 X without any issue thus far...I guess I'm lucky?
hey is it true that the microphone on V2 X is better than V2?
@@illegalalien3937 Everyone I speak with hears me clearly without any issues
hey man is this headset bad for watching movies and listening to song? i want to buy this one but really confused with that...i know it's great for gaming but is it good for movies/songs too? plz help here
@@swapnilsaha7629 you should be fine with your use case for this headset
Any update does it still holds up today?
I think I'm going to give the V2 X a shot, since they're currently $40 on Amazon. My current Turtle Beach Ear Force X11 is many years old, and needs replacing.
I have always preferred game audio through speakers, not a headset, so my main use for this is going to be the mic, to talk to my friends on Discord or the Xbox app on my PC or phone. In fact, I tend to just rest my headset around my neck and speak through the mic without even plugging in the incoming audio cable. As long as the mic quality stays solid for a long time, this will be very worthwhile for me. I'll probably try to play some games with the headset, like War Thunder or something, just to see if the audio difference really helps or hinders me.
After watching your original review and this, I think it'll be my best choice. If it turns out it doesn't work so well in six months to a year from now, it was only $40. Thanks so much for the review and information!
m8 u cant play competitive shooter wo headset...not possible....ok, possible but with good amount of frustration....so if you play CS, PUBG and simil. put the damn headset ;)
@@Wizz3m4n I don't play competitive shooters. I'd sooner slit my wrists with a rusty spoon than play those cesspools of sweaty, toxic tryhards.
had mine for about 3-4 months now and i have no issues what so ever. been a great pair!
just wish i could remove the mic when im not using it.
Had the PC-37X for about 3 years, and have literally 0 issues, as great as day 1. 10/10 would recommend. Not sure about the 38X, but I'd hope they didn't make it worse
The 37x is too open. Not loud enough. But I come from a turtle beach closed high base wireless background.
I bought the blackshark wireless and they sound much better than my wireless steelseries, also a lot lighter. Was concerned by how fragile the extension arms are, but they seem fine to me as I set the height for my head once and then never move them, I don't see how it would ever be an issue unless other people share the headset or you accidentally sit on them!
Do you still have them? What's your experience with them?
@@ruslankazimov622 Still use them maybe 4 hours per day, still charges good, battery lasts about 3 days and they still feel solid ( no broken pieces) still sound amazing.
Earned yourself a sub man! I ordered this one yesterday, so let´s see if I get any issues!
i have been using the hyper x cloud 2 since 2018 and it still sounds great and the mic boom is still stiff due to it being removable. but the downside is that the pleather earcups is now flaking and unusable but the velour pads still works great. I am currently looking after market earcups that are similar to the V2, fabric on the contact side while pleather on the rest
pls send link of the after market earcups if you found any
which is better cloud 2 or v2x ?
@@Berkay-oh2xh I used the cloud 2 for maybe 4 years amazing headset and I really like it but after this time I faced an issue with my mic it keep making sounds and annoying my friends.

Wow, I was just checking your other video about this headphone, and right after finish it, here it is, one hour after posting the video, the ONLY THING THAT I WAS GETTING ANXIOUS ABOUT BUYING IT, the long term coverages!!! THANKS!!
+1 Sub!!
my biggest issue is that EVERYONE can hear what I'm listening to through the mic for some reason if I'm watching something in the background.
that is issue with your hardware that cause the bleeding effect which problem, try use front or back or setting under sound at bottom right taskbar and choose allow device to handle the sound
Same thing happened to me but with a different headset on Xbox I would have my mic muted but they could hear the background game noise . I’m guessing it’s the controller that causes that if not then if someone has the knowledge on how to fix it I would appreciate it very much
Need more like this. Most reviews are only during first received. Buying decision involves performance mantained after 6 months too.
You can fix the splitter cord with electrical tape, you can also tape a pipe cleaner to the mic to make it stay up
Well I just ordered them so hopefully they fixed some of the issues you brought up.
Please make a series " After x Months, THIS happened..."
I grabbed the V2 and have been pleased with their performance.
As a glasses wearer they are as comfortable or more than my Astro A40’s.
Astro’s have slightly better soundstage, but just a little better.
For the $79 I spent I have been happy.
It's literally impossible for the a40 to have a "little" more. They are open back, the v2x are closed back.
This is a good style of video to do perfect
Thanks!
I've been using a Razer Tiamat headset from around ~2011 every day and so far so good. No issues, still sound great, so hissing or popping to speak of. I used an original Blackwidow mechanical keyboard from around the same time period for about 8 years before finally replacing it because of some issues that began to crop up. I've also had a couple of Razer mice that I used for two or three years at various points over the last decade or so. I've yet to run in to the consistent reliability problems that people popularly attribute to Razer products.
Cannot say the same. Had issues with their products in the past
Wow... the downsides and faults of the headphone really shows. I was about to buy it too, thanks for this long term review video.
Maybe they should make an improved version of the V2 X. Maybe better implemented hinges, better dongle and ear cushion.
Razer Tiamat 7.1 Version 1, still the best sound for me.
(Only bad thing is that it's a true 7.1 Headset so you need a 7.1 Audio Card that most laptops still don't have)
Also i still don't get why they use leatherette material in Headsets or Chairs. After some years it becomes awful, tearing to pieces. (It's like they want you to buy a new product after 2-3 years)
(You can fix this as i did, if you just rub the ear-cushions until all the leatherette is gone and then sew some fabric on it)
i tried it on a 7.1 motherboard it was ok but nothing amazing...my guess is i need a dedicated 7.1 sound card and i did try that but i couldent get the old 7.1 cards working on my computer
@@sephirothlv100my motherboard is Asus Sabertooth P67 ~10years old. Maybe you didn't have Audio Controller Drivers installed? Mine uses Realtek Audio Controller and you need to select 7.1 Channel (Inside Realtek Controller), also enable Bass. (Cause when i tried them on a friend before i bought them he had Bass not enabled... Also when using Realtek Audio Controller, when you select 7.1 Channel don't forget to set the distance for every speaker to 0 m (cause its a Headset (not a 7.1 Home Theater Speaker System) and its distance from my ear is like 0.0m)
For me it's still by far the best Headset...
Also i had tried to use 2 Tiamat 7.1 Version 1 Headsets on 1 Computer, mine and my friends, on my friends old computer with an MSI Motherboard (Also had a Realtek Audio Controller). I just used 5x3,5mm Audio Spliter Cables (For Mic, Center-Bass, Front Left-Right, Side Left-Right, Back Left-Right) and it worket like a charm. Even both mic's worked perfectly on Motherboard's Sound Card.

I’ve had these since like a month after release and in my opinion they are very good, to this day I’ve not noticed any fault with them other than the fact that the ear cup material isn’t for me especially in the heatwave the UK is experiencing as it isn’t too breatheable, the mic is alright and the audio quality is really good, I’ve used this on an Xbox one, Xbox series X and a PS5 and I’ve had no issues at all, the bass is nice and boomy just like how I like it and because of this I’m considering getting the razer blackshark V2 pro wireless as an upgrade
They are really great. Ive had them for over two years now, playing every day for 3 or 4 hour straight, and still they feel like brand new. No issues what so ever.
