The Razer Blackshark v2x retails for around $80CAD and $60USD, I got mine on sale for $60CAD/$50USD.
Overall I have a couple things to say about this headset, I don’t have a lot to compare it to, but after using it for a couple days I’ve noticed a major problem with this headset that I want to talk about. So that will be the focus of the video.
Thanks for watching,

So to anyone who recently bought this headset and is wondering what is wrong, try using a different splitter cable if you happen to have one and that might fix your problem. Or as i was suggested in the comments, maybe hook up a cheap external sound card.
Update: sound on the right earcup of my friend's headset is not working anymore. He will contact razer for replacement.
Negative experience overall.
Edit 2: i have also contacted support and they again asked me to try on a different device. You know how in the video i connected it to my laptop and it sounded good? Well this time, i tried to connect the splitter and just plugged in the mic part, and then it sounded bad again...
Edit 3: razer said the splitter is defective and that they dont have replacements, they just said get a splitter from somewhere else....
RAZER'S TRASH
bro i have blackshark v2 the one with sound card and my right earcup stopped working after a week i bought it. but then i watched some YT videos found out its windows problem go to speaker icon on right side below, right click select sound option, go to playback and select your headset. open it's properties go to levels check balance you'll find right earcup sound is at 0% happens with me often but this is the fix.
@@frankenstein5897 Are you sure??
@@theprotectorplay7399 yes
Do you have to use the splitter cable on the pc to use the mic? It sounds better without splitter cable but could you connect it without it and still use the mic or is it rquired?
I fixed mine with this:
-device manager
-Sound, video and game controllers
-realtek audio (right click-update driver)
-browse my computer for drivers
-let me pick from a list of available driver on my computer
-high definition audio device
Worked for me, good luck to you!
Yooo! Thank you so much for this info. I did all what you said and it works! Have a great day/night.
Thanks G
This was indeed the issue, thank you!
Just got a pair for Christmas and this worked perfectly, thanks!
thanks a lot
Hola, hace menos de un mes compre los razer black shark v2 x para jugar luego quise activar el 7.1 sorround sound pero me dice de que necesito un codigo de activaciòn que venia en la caja que ya bote
Enviaste
hay alguna soluciòn o ya no puedo tener el 7.1?
Thanks for this video, it's been really helpful and should be essential viewing for anyone considering buying what is a rather decent budget headset. What helped me is plugging the splitter into the back of the motherboard, as the front caused a crackling sound and didn't pick up my voice, and a Sabrent USB sound card didn't register my voice at all. Having plugged it into the back of my PC has made it nothing short of a dream. I hope this helps anyone else having trouble, though I'd prefer these problems didn't exist in the first place. ^^
helped me thank you legend
Do you have 2 jacks in front and back of your pc?
@@aukusti22 I do! But, and it's probably because of my how my PC was put together, I had difficulty getting one of the jacks into the front sockets. So the headphones could go in no problem, but the microphone would only go in half-way. Hence the back. But it might work on the front. No harm in trying the front if that works for you! ^^
@@withywarlock4298 i only have one port in the front and two in the back but my mic sounds bad from every port, i might try an external sound card
an you tell me how it sounds when you watch movies/ listen to songs, i know it's great for gaming, but im confused here,, plz help man
Finally the video about this headset I've been looking for.
is the mic supposed to have a fuzzing noise in the background? my mic sounds good but it has a quiet fuzzing noise in the background
thanks for the video! also loving the firewatch wallpaper
Well i do have an extra splitter cable from my former hyperx headset is it gonna work fine if mine has the same problem as yours?
I’m trying to decide between hyper cloud 2 and the v2/v2x on what’s best for directional movement on fps for ps4. I’m not sure if these are even the best so if they are which would you go with or do you have any other recommendations for what I’d like to get?
Im thinking of buying these and gonna use them mostly without the splitter will it be a good choice ? Or should look up for any different one
I tried your suggestion and switched out the razer splitter with the splitter from my old tecware headset and the muffle sound was gone. It wasn't the best but at least it doesnt sound as bad. May I ask the brand of your friend's splitter?
I knew I wasn't going crazy with the mic sounding VASTLY different from those two. From them it sounds perfectly fine, but with other people it sounds decent or just bad. I'm really glad to know that I'm going insane hearing vastly different mic qualities
I am also experiencing the same problem right now, the mic quality is really distorted and muffled. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Im using windows 10 but why the mic is not working. Should i get a splitter? Or is there any other ways to overcome this issue. Really appreciate any suggestions😥
wow that guy who dropped 40 kills with phoenix is pretty cool
@Dipidoodle i have the same problem like yours. I just bought my headset recently. Does your mic work when bought usb sound card ?
does the surrond sound work on xbox series s because i play alot of pubg wich requires to hear where the person is
do oyu have a adapter or splitter i could buy so i can connect both the mic and headphone my pc only has 1 headphone cable
How can I get the serial number on the headphones? I dont see them on the headphone and dont know how to open them up (lost the box it came in)
i have the same headset as in this video and i plugged them in with the splitter cable, i thought everything was fine until i went to a discord call with my friends and they said i sounded like i was underwater :(
pls help what do i need to do
Wait I need to have the window open on my laptop when I play on my ps4 so the surround sound is activated?
Hi!
I have the same headphone. Mic is working but only on sounds on my pc, not my voice talking to the mic. Hope you can help me how to fix this. Thank you
Just bought it and somehow the bouton to mute my mic isn’t working. Any idea on how to fix that ?
So I got this to use for my PS4 but the audio sounds REALLY muffled like I cannot hear footsteps and small sounds and idk how to fix it
Thankyou for the vid, that part about the guy putting the cable in the other end of the PC was spot on for me, my mic was horrible until i stumbled onto this vid and gave it a try.
idk why but my pc def got a prob with the 3.5mm mic idk why but i cant get any mic to work like all i can hear is bzzzzzzzzzzz and there is a bit too much electricty on the 3.5mm cable that i can feel can it be the cause of the bzzz sound? also yea even the mobo 3.5mm mic does tge same shi
i have a problem with these headphones, if i remove the splitter that comes with, and try to connect them on the front panel of my case, the mic can barely be heard if anything at all, just doesnt work, but if i use the splitter and connect it through the back from the motherboard, it works perfect, any solution for this?
cant you just use the splitter cable then?
First did you try to use another splitter cable? I had a very similar issue and odd issue I ran into. I think if you put your computer volume to around 50% then headset volume around 80%. Back to computer mic volume to 100%. Try it out.
If i only have the console no pc nor nothing just the controller is it worth it? for the mic and sound?
my microphone doesn't work, where i going to put? green to green? pink to pink?
Hey guys pls tell me is it possible to use 7.1 surround sound on these headphones on PS5? And if yes then how
I puchased a Blackshark V2x (included a usb sound card) .. same issue. Voice sounded identically crappy. I just tried plugging directly into the headphone jack on the side of my laptop (MSI GE76 Raider) and viola - great sound.
So the included usb sound card is the culprit somehow, but I can't be bothered to troubleshoot. My laptop is state of the art in 2022, I have a brand new headset, the drivers are up to date. I dunno Razer maybe try not making a USB sound card smaller than a stick of gum??
What is the point of the USB sound card anyhow?
10/10 would recommend watching this video before purchasing
Bro buy this one and save 100 buck the sound it's amazing man.
did you buy yet? can you tell me how it sounds when you watch movies/ listen to songs, i know it's great for gaming, but im confused here,, plz help man
should i get a usb or splliter cable for those heaphones
idk why but mine came with a qr code which only sends me to the website to download the app but no activation code was included.. Now, how the hech do I get the 7.1 sound on my windows 11.....
Hello, can you use any USB sound card for this headset ?
Does it work for an iPad cause my iPad doesn’t have 2 headphone jack
Why is this headset so quite on ps4? Is there something I need to fix?
What do I do if I don’t have two ports for the headset
my razer blackshark v2 x only has a buzzing noise whenever i try to use my microphone
i don't know why it happens can anyone help me out?
Idk if anyone will be able to solve this but my headset keeps beeping like it’s losing signal. But i’m right fking next to my playstation. I’ve had this headset for a year and this randomly started happening. If anyone could help it would mean a lot
okay so i have the problem with the game sound so i got in the game (FiveM) and i cant hear anything only few sounds but not all i cant find the video to how o fix it so idk
Can you teach us on how to clean the earpads for this headset? Ty in advance
I purchased the "courage JD" version, and it doesn't even come with the splitter cable, which i suspect is why my mic isn't working at ALL.
I've tried everything in this video, and nothing works. I decided to purchase a separate splitter cable to see if that works. I tried connecting through the USB sound card, and still nothing. I'm extremely disappointed with the mic issues, and hope i can get it to work when i get the splitter.
My old Logitech G430s worked perfectly fine, but i thought these would be more comfortable.
When I first bought the headset, it was working perfectly but after I plugged on my PC the mic stopped working. I can't talk in game and i tried everything but end up with no result. Restarted my PC a few times but still nothing. One day later, I tried again and somehow I can use the mic on my PC but it's very low. It's about 4% out of 100% volume.... I'm about done with the headset and maybe buy a different one and see if it just my PC or the headset
This happened to me but I don’t even use the spitter I play on Xbox how do I fix it
My headset works perfectly fine exept that my mic doesnt work. my pc dedects the mic but its not working.
pls i need help
I just bought it today and i have the same problem with that background noice on my pc please someone help me
You are a life saver!!! The splitter cable is so bad, I almost returned the whole headset.
I had a USB audio splitter from another Razer headset ...RIP ...and that fixed it!!! Thank you 👍
how to make it a lot louder
i can speak normally while kissing the mic but there will be almost no sound even with +10dB
yo i cant even get my to connect to my pc any help?
I have the same issue, the sound is amazing but the microphone is so bad and i tried to take off the splitter and just plug it directly to the pc but it says that the microphone is not plugged. Any solution? Should i buy a soundcard or a new splitter?
im having the same problem
i need some helps guys im thinking of buying v2x should i go with the usb one or the 3.5mm one , by the way i play only on pc....
Okay let’s just say I accidentally scratched of a couple numbers and letters of the code what do I do
The 7.1surround sound works on Smartphone ?
i play on the ps4 can i adjust the mic settings on my laptop and then play on my ps 4 with that settings can somebody help me ?
how to connect on a laptop using xbox controller to play game..mic doesnt work
Hi, do you think that the fact that the mic isn’t removable and that I wouldn’t even use it cause I have a seperate one makes it a deal breaker for this headset if I’m looking to buy it?
I laughed at this part in the vid, he said he watched reviewed and yet still bought them even with non removable mic.
I have a problem that i can find NO HELP ON. so. I dont have a spliter cable with mine, and its just the headphone port but I call with my friends alot, and if i try to use them at the same time it does not work, either I plug it in the mircophone, the mic doesnt work, I plug it in the mic, I cant hear anything, please help i really dont know how to solve it, even if it is easy.
I am having exactly the same problem and it works fine on my phone. I tried with a different split cable and it didn't change anything. Should i buy a sound card or return the product? If anybody tried soundcard fix does it work now?
Anyone know how to remove the static noises in mic of this headset?
I have the same problem but with my ps5. My friends kept telling me that they could hear echo and that its like im talking out of a tin can, idk what to do if so if any one can help or had the same problem
P.s its not the splitters problem cause im not even using it😅
Thanks so much was worrying about this but I didn't know the cable was a combo headphone and mic jack and thankfully I do have that Thanks so much!
Will this headphone work with only one jack?
what is a good price for a good splitter cable?
What mic are you using normally?
thank you for the honest review. i've watched many razer reviews and it sucks how so many people hide the flaws that some razer headsets have because they get paid to promote them.
Today in day to buy a headsets, is some so difficult because there are a lot of brands. and have watched some youtubers aren't sincerous with the analyze of the products
@@christiansenaguilaruribe very true
this actually doesnt have many flaws
I have it and I have zero complaints.
They sound amazing but only after you tweak the sound with an EQ, otherwise they sound super muddy and the bass is way over the top in my opinion.
@@guymfalkon1236 Thanks for the honesty lol I'm glad to hear that. I ended up going with the HyperX Cloud Alpha and they turned out fantastic too. Wanted to try something other than Razer cause they were the only brand I used.
what splitter does your friend use?
i just bought it. in valorant i get very less sound, pls help
I had the Kraken X (sadly the headband snapped) and some of the spiltter cable issues you spoke of affect that headset too. If it wasn't correctly inserted the audio would only play in one ear and the mic wouldn't work. This shows that Razer's splitter cables are unreliable. That being the case I would like to know what makes a splitter cable good? Any insight is more than welcome.
I have no idea
lmao had the kraken x and it snapped too
@@skarrrlet5593 Same here
I bought the same headphones last week and I experienced the same problem. I got the store that I bought it from to replace it with a new pair cuz I thought the 1st one was faulty. I'm currently using the new unit but the same problem still persists. Any solution yet?
can you tell me how it sounds when you watch movies/ listen to songs, i know it's great for gaming, but im confused here,, plz help man
Is this one recognize on razer synapse?
Wait does the ps5 controller have a combo jack
Is it possible to get surround sound on the xbox with razer synapse and what not ?
I dont think so, the software is pc only
I heard u have to push hard to spiltter (real hard?). May this help pls reply. Im considering to buy this 40USD (Prime day deals)
It is in as far as it could go. Btw you can buy it if you want, just return if it doesnt work
It’s crazy how I haven’t had a problem with this headset. I’m completely satisfied.
I cant even understand what the problem is for him.. I got no problem with mines and i dont use that software i use dolby on my console and they sound extremely good.
@@theprotectorplay7399 dolby on console??
Hey does the mic shift it's position on its own after long usage or its firm ??
@@iSHanR Yeah the mic will move around after a year maybe just depends on how you treat the Headsets mines are like new.... but you have a new option from Microsoft now for $60 3.5 jack. check it out.
@@theprotectorplay7399 ok bro thx .
Hi Recomend me a good headset with usb connector
I am wearing the same one while watching, and my mic wont work on my pc
Hi, I just purchased these headphones but I can not see any options or software to control its equalizer. its bass is not comfortable. i want to reduce it. Need your Help Thanks!
No there is no software besides the 7.1. the software only comes with the standard v2s non x. Or pro
@@Dipidoodle is there any way i can adjust its bass ?
So, do you still recommend it?
Can you tell me how it sounds when you watch movies/ listen to songs, i know it's great for gaming, but im confused here,, plz help man,, bte love your vids!
hey i wanna know if my v2x are real or fake
have you tried doing a recording on your phone using the mic? That would tell us if it you either got a faulty product sounds great when recorded on the phone or if it was one of two issues(the spliter cable or faulty pc.) what mic do you use to record audio for videos?
Lol i dont think you watched the full video... I do record on my phone..
@@Dipidoodle i meant plug the headphones in your phone and record using the headphones mic on your phone. unless thats exactly what you did. i did watch the whole video. but its 4am so i might of missed that.
@@CrypticBore thats what i did lol
@@CrypticBore also go to sleep
@@Dipidoodle oh no i need sleep xD.
Is there anyway to charge these? Or am I being an idiot?
the sound from the headset leaks into the mic when the sound is a bit loud. does anyone have this sound leak issue?
yes did you find a fix?
I'm using mine plugged into my pc using the single 3.5mm without the splitter and his has the static noise.....
i am not having any issue with the splitter idk why its like that for you
hello sander owner here i have a problem with my mic it doesnt work its connected but there is nothing like sound.
hi.
i brought razor sharq v2 from amazon.
due to some reasons i had to format my laptop so had to reinstall razor synapse and the problem started. earphones work fine but there is not THX. i signed and also registered my product. it asks me activation code which i never received via email or on the box.
any idea or solution you are aware of?
Thanks.
I wirelessly use these on my PS5. I sit 2m away from the console and I can only get a solid connection if the USB stick is plugged into the front of my PS5. It worked well in the back for a few days, but now it's only working well when plugged into the front. Are my headphones faulty? I've only had them for about 2 months.
These headphones arent wireless, what headphones are you talking about?
@@Dipidoodle ok.....the wireless version of these.
@@michalsavatar7 im not sure, maybe contact support on their website
@@talanmessina9079 you think I don't know that? That's besides the point. They are supposed to work wirelessly.
I have had nothing but issues with this same headset I updated the drivers on it recently and found out that in the 7.1 surround sound setup it switched my mhz in my settings to 192000Hz and 24 bits when the highest rating for this one is 16 bit 4800 Hz and its caused a ton of issues
I’ve only used this headset without the splitter and my microphone isn’t bad but there’s tons of noise (air) in the background which i don’t like. Anyone else have this issue?
anyone here with the problem of blackshark v2 x cant capture my voice /mic not working
Would an external sound card fix the mic problem?
After reading others' stories, yes it should.
Bro same problem mic us too quite and when i plugged in on my lap it was perfect so how can i solve it?
Try a different splitter or get a sound card
Am using soundcard becoz my motherboards sound card is not working ig
@@Udaysarath did it work with the sound card? if you still didnt get one, please let me know when u do get one. Ty
How do I charge my headset
Amigo , cual recomiendas los blackshark v2x o los kraken ?
The "Razer Kraken Tournament Edition THX 7.1 Surround Sound Gaming Headset" is on sale right now, that looks good.
hmm wierd I have the same razer splitter cable and mine works after a year and is really tight so it might just be a bad batch.
device manager
-Sound, video and game controllers
-realtek audio (right click-update driver)

when i did this, my headset completely stopped audio output, but the microphone still worked. why?
I threw away the box with the code can I just not use my headphones?
