Sorry for having to remove this video yesterday, I accidentally got the embargo date mixed up. But I did remove the background music as many requested 👍
I was just watching your videos last night on the pc variants. I was disappointed they didn't fully work on console. Thank you for keeping up to date on this stuff. I only watch your videos before purchasing a headset. Keep up the good work man, appreciate you
This is going to be a long comment so TL;DR at the end. Great video as always. I bought the V2 Pro 2023s in December and have loved almost everything about them as I did the wired V2s before them. If I had the money I'd probably buy the PS5 ones just to not have to move my dongle from my PC lol. That said, I have some insight on the build quality issue. Now, I have owned two previous Blackshark models, a wired V2 and a V2 X. Neither one ever had a single issue with anything cracking or breaking for years and I'm not rough with my gear. I bought the V2 Pro 2023 edition in December. They were fine too, until in March, I was just looking at them and noticed a hairline crack, right on that bracket on the left side right where the wire on the inside would be mounted. Not only that, but there was also a very slight bulging right next to the crack where the other wire would be. I thought "What is this?! I've only had them like 3 months!" Well, I saw enough broken headsets on reddit and amazon to know I should just RMA the thing now when it's clear that it is a stress crack and not an impact break from mishandling it. After a little back and forth with Razer they agreed the headset was faulty and sent me a new one which I just received yesterday. The box design was slightly different so it is definitely one produced a bit later than my old one. And you know what? The second I put the new one on, I immediately noticed the clamping force seemed a little softer than my first one. This leads me to think that the people that are all getting the same piece on the headset breaking are just receiving units that putting a little too much force on that piece. I noticed also the plastic on that piece feels a little different compared to my V2 and V2 X. Maybe they went with slightly different plastic on the V2 Pro 2023s? Or maybe they just feel different because I've had them awhile lol. Either way, coming from someone who has had 3 different Blacksharks and only my V2 Pros gave me an issue, I'd advise against implying people are just not taking care of their stuff. You can just say you haven't had any issues and leave it at that. We've probably all been there with a product at some time. Everyone else loves it, and you're the unlucky person that got two or three faulty units in a row until you just swear off the company lol. TL;DR: Love the video, you rock, some units of the V2 Pros maybe have too much clamping force causing the breaks. The second you notice any kind of fault in that piece, RMA immediately, Razer should take care of it if it's clear you did not smash it or something.
I see your point, but I didn't call anyone out, I just mentioned the reviews. I can only speak on a review what I have used, and that's many many many pairs of blacksharks with no issues. This is also why I twist and bend the heck out of my headsets in my videos, because I would rather break mine and show you all a weak point rather than you all receiving them and snapping easily.
@@TheTechne And I definitely appreciate you putting your headsets on the line lol. And yeah I get you can only speak to your own experience, and it's good to hear someone say they got a solid product. I just mean, I wouldn't personally add in lines wondering what other people are doing to theirs, when most people are probably putting them through less torture than your twists in the videos lol. Hopefully my replacement will be fine because I really love the headset otherwise.
@@guiltygamerxrd yeah, I have been waiting for one to bust on camera, lol. I actually do that stress test after all my use and testing also. I would say the only headset I was scared would break was my old Arctis pro. But they just got super loose.
Great Video. I had the original V2 BlackSharks and loved them. I currently have the EPOS H6Pros but I was always impressed with the V2 black sharks pros. We have to go and hear these ones for myself.
Yeah mine broke in the same spot you were showing. I got ahold of razer and they replaced mine with a brand new headset. I was just putting mine on my head and it just snapped. Was so weird.
Great Video Techne! Question: Is there Sidetone on the PS5 Version? Can you hear yourself through the headset? After having this feature on my SteelSeries, I can't live without it
Nice to see Razer finally giving the Xbox some love with it's wireless headsets. I was using the PC version on my PS5 and don't see enough of a difference to warrant a purchase.
Are the Mic AND eq preset settings saved to some form of onboard memory tho? I read somewhere on the internet that it's not the case, at least with the regular 2023 edition
I was literally going to order the 2023 version this week and the timing could not be any better for this to release for my ps5!! Very excited Techne!!! 🤩🥳🙌🎧
What's your feedback about it? Are the eq AND mic settings on the phone saved in some onboard memory so it's applied when using it with 2.4Ghz on PS5/PC ?
Whats the difference between the PC version and the console version if you are going to use them on pc? I saw the console versions going for way cheaper for some reason
PC version has 2 more Esport EQ settings available (Valorant and CS:GO) I'm on PS5 and personally wish I had just kept the regular 2023 version instead of getting the console version.
I understand the app is still experimental but from what you can tell will you be able to connect existing Blacksharks to the new app? I just bought my pair late last year ive been using on my PS5 and really enjoying but if theyre not able to connect to the app thats a bit disappointing.
Hi, quick question about the PS5 version: are the eq AND mic settings saved to onboard memory once you disconnect the headset from the phone? I would like the EQ/Mic settings to be active using 2.4Ghz on both PS5, PC, and Macbook, with the settings done prior through my phone. If it can't save the settings of both EQ and Mic onboard, I don't see the point compared to the regular 2023 edition. Or is there another way?
I have the PS5 version and had the regular PC 2023 version. The PS5 version for me will not connect to the app to even make any adjustments. The 2023 may require Synapse but it at least saves and worked on my PS5. Also the PS5 version lacks a couple of game EQ settings that the regular 2023 version has
For me the Arctis Nova Pros wins. I have the X version as I have a Series X. It’s worth the money. Can find on sale. With the Arctis I now have one headset for all my platforms. I use simultaneous Bluetooth so it’s another bonus. Just note to use Sonar and adjust your eqs accordingly as that brings the headset to life and mic.
I’m wondering just like some other people here on how it works with pc? Since it doesn’t come with the usb adapter like the past 2023 version is it only able to use Bluetooth for pc comparability or is there a way to just buy that pc usb adapter?
I have a USB-C input on the back of my pc and it recognizes the headset but the synapse app doesnt, so idk if its because they are barely new or what, but I can use them normally on my pc with the mentioned usb-c input, hope it helps
@@bhaiyayatin8463 I have no idea, I returned them pretty quick, having to use the phone app to EQ them was a pain in the ass, if anything just buy the PC version that supports both console and PC.
So if you get the Xbox version, connect to PS5 in USB mode, does that not allow control from the mobile app when using on the PS5 - seemed to suggest they were features and functions you missed out on??
@@WhiteHartMartThank you for the reply, I’ve been trying to figure out if I should get these or really break the bank on the newer white set of the steel series nova pros. Just looking for an immersive headset with adjustable EQ’s.
I like that they have a console version now, but hesitant to buy without simultaneous audio. Tried on a pair of the regular 23 v2 pro, nice , comfy and loud. But lacked a little bass. Still lightweight and not to tight clamping. Might stick with my TB stealth 700 gen 2 MAX headset , though they do clamp a little tight.
I have the 2023 version and I get a lot of connection issues like cut outs and robot sounding audio. I’ve tried everything to fix it and never got better. How are these as far as connectivity?
If I’m using Audeze Maxwell Xbox edition, is there any advantage of this Razer Xbox version over it other than being lighter? I know the drivers are different and Maxwell has support for Dolby Atmos but to me it may not matter that much if the sound of the Razer is good. Thanks
Hi I use to play on xbone but now I play on ps5 because the games are much better I have the audeze maxwell but I don't use them because there too too heavy for every usage and I play 8 hours a day I'm using the turtle beach stealth pro I would go with the razer 2024 edition because there much much lighter and comfy your going to lose some volume because the audeze maxwell get very loud stay safe and happy gaming
@@jamesstevens968 so far I don’t really have issue for the gaming session hours I have with Maxwell. Usually just around 2-3 hours, not super long. I just rewatch some of the Razer Blackshark v2 pro 2023 PC version reviews and seem the staging and sound imaging not that superb. I mainly play fps game so if that’s not that good, guess less motivation to get it
@@hjshoon5244to be fair all headphones can use Dolby atmos. Thats just their marketing tactic to make it seem it’s special made for it. All they do is give you a code to buy the license for free.
And a much tighter fit. That's my issue with Wiked Cushions. They're overkill in the thickness department and increase clamping force. So many TH-cam reviewers recommend them but never discuss the downsides, such as increased clamping force and added weight.
hi is there something that the playstation version lacks compared to the 2023 version? im thinking of getting the PS version just in case i buy the console in the future
Could you tell me if it is possible to connect the Razer Blackshark v2 Pro to 2 devices at the same time? That is, if you can connect them to a console and a cell phone at the same time or a PC and a cell phone at the same time and listen to the audio simultaneously from both devices?
Not usually one that automatically reaches for the Wicked Cushions pads but the Freeze pads have massively improved these for me. Far less irratating material and have improved the sound (less 'boxy/artificial soinding).
Anyone know why these aren't compatible with synapse yet? Also, the mic monitoring on mine (xbox edition) sounds really tinny. Anyone have similar issues?
The build definitely isn't "perfectly fine" if countless people have brought up the same issue that those brackets break over time. I've had this happen to 2 pairs of these. I LOVE these headsets for many reasons. The sound is good enough for me, the mic is amazing, and they feel very cozy on my head -- but I'll never get another one because of the cheap construction there. The "How people break these" comment... I "broke them" by putting them on my head and taking them off. I'm never rough with any of my gear. Stuff costs money, and I don't happen to have an endless supply of that. So I think it's less of "I broke them" and more, they just fell apart because they're cheap pieces of crap. I love your reviews, but don't discount several people's experiences with something and act like they're invalid because it hasn't happened to you. After my first one broke while I was just sitting there playing a game, I looked up how often this happens to people and it looks to be fairly common.
That still completely misses my point. I'm not saying that this will happen to every single pair of these headsets, but just because you have a pair (or pairs) that hasn't broken in that way, doesn't mean that they're perfectly fine and that others haven't had a pair (or pairs) that have broken there due to no fault of their own. In your experience they're fine, sure, but not overall if this is a fairly often reported issue. They were also my main headset, worn every day for months on end, they weren't cycled out regularly. Several people have reported this issue. I'm well aware that there are countless pairs of these headsets that it will never happen to, but to disregard all the cases that it has happened and putting the blame on the user is a mistake. I am very glad that you did at least bring attention to the issue in the video, so that's great. Also, credit for saying that *in your experience* they're fine. Putting the blame directly on the user is rather insulting, at least in my case (and reportedly several others), as I did nothing wrong with either pair of my 2023s that should have made the right ear cup break off. You mention that you let your 9 year old use them, I'm assuming to illustrate that even a child didn't break them when using them. I guess because kids are known to be rough with things... I get where you're going with that, but that doesn't invalidate my point either when I clearly stated that I wasn't rough with them. Being rough had nothing to do with it. They just broke. For no apparent reason. While just wearing them. In the middle of just sitting at my pc playing a game. I'm also pretty sure that I have a larger head than a 9 year old, as would most adults, so I'd bet that my head placed more stress on the point of failure than a 9 year old's head would place on the joints. So maybe it's just a rather large melon problem that causes this issue after wearing them for countless hours. Whatever the reason, it does happen. It was interesting too, because it wasn't just a quick snap. The first pair's ear cup broke off in 3 stages over the course of months. First the inner plate of the joint snapped off. I didn't think that much of it. I figured "oh well, they still seem fine... not sure why that happened." Then a few months later something from inside the joint broke off. Then finally I was just sitting there and the whole thing snapped and the metal wires dug into my bald head lol the cup just dangled there. As I stated before. I LOVE these headsets. It makes me sad that I'm not willing to buy another pair, and I hope that anyone that gets them has a better experience than I did... anyway this is already way too long, keep up the great work. I'll keep watching.
@seviin2685 Get a grip, man. Any product has a percentage of failures. So because you experienced a fault, which is clearly a minority, that should be a warning to all gamers? Get over yourself. I had a PS5 that overheated and failed. So should I be warning everyone else not to buy one, just in case? Whether you treated the headset rough or not is irrelevant. You obviously feel offended by the suggestion. But to assume your experience is applicable to all these headsets, and doubt the words of Techne because he hasn't had the same experience as you. I don't understand why some people feel compelled to share a bad experience with a product and state it as fact. I had the Audeze Maxwell and experienced a foil crinkle sound by simply putting the headset on & off. The driver was essentially broken. I didn't feel compelled to warn others not to buy the Maxwell, just because I had a bad experience. My point being, IF you didn't mishandle the headset, there's a very good chance you won't experience the same fault with another headset. If it was a design flaw, the problem would be more widespread than a few people posting broken pics on Amazon.
You appear to have not read everything I said. Anything that I would say to rebut any of your points I have already said in the previous posts... just reread (or read). No where in anything that I posted did I warn anyone off of this headset. I brought more awareness to a fault in the design. I never told anyone not to buy them. I actually said that I hope it doesn't happen to anyone else, and aside from the fault in the build quality, I give them an absolutely glowing review. You contradict yourself in your own post by saying, "Whether you treated the headset rough or not is irrelevant" and then go on to say, "My point being, IF you didn't mishandle the headset, there's a very good chance you won't experience the same fault with another headset. If it was a design flaw, the problem would be more widespread than a few people posting broken pics on Amazon." Anyway, you can just read anything I wrote to answer your points, as it'll just be retyping the same things over an over at this point that I already typed the first time.
So I just got the pc version of this headset and was unaware the console version existed and am using it on my ps5. But I have an issue with the mic and there’s a constant feedback in the mic and my party of friends say it sounds like a constant popping sound. Is it because I have the headset connected to a console and not pc?
You have a bad unit. Return it if possible. I have both the Blackshark V2 Pro 2023 and PS5 console version and both microphones work perfectly and come across crystal clear. I actually prefer the 2023 version for the PS5 as it's volume is louder
I play on ps5, mostly FPS games. I’ve been looking at the hs80 max for my next headset. Does anyone have any other suggestions or do you think the hs80 max will be good? Would like to keep the price around $200. Will take any recommendations from anyone willing to point me in the right direction.
Arctis Nova 7 or 7p. Head to GadgetryTech's review and copy his custom EQ settings. Makes a killer headset for shooters. Only bad thing is the microphone isn't near the quality of Corsairs or the Blackshark one
i have tried hs 80 max on ps5 and its not good because you cant use the full function of the headset without the software. The software only works on PC it doesnt save the settings. HS80 max are useless on ps5. I have bought razer blacksharks v2 pro for the ps5 and i will give a feedback how they are.
I have a problem with them. White noise is present both on 2.4 and BT. Its not like its super loud or something, when you play game/listen to something you dont hear it all but its frustrating anyways. I own also sony ps5 wireless headset and theres none white noise. Anyone tried to solve this issue ?
The 2023 versions don't have a 3.5mm headphone jack so it's very awkward to try to get them to work on Xbox, it can't be done simply without 3rd party hardware I think, whereas the 2020 version has a 3.5mm headphone jack so can just be plugged in I think, they should both work on PC via USB, the newer one should also be able to use Bluetooth and the older 3.5mm headphone jack cable
I was wondering if you can hear enviromental noises when having these on? I got the epos h6 pro and i really disliked them because when wearing them i felt completely isolated from the outside world
Hi there. I feel like the headset is not giving 100% of the volume in ps5 nor pc. The sound “quality” is very good and the eq app works well…but the overall volume seems like “caped” at 70%. Anyone with this problem? Is it because the usbC connection? Any known question on this by razer? Im thinking about returning them. This version doesnt sound as loud as the 2020 version 😮 Help!
Bought a set. Out of the box the sound profile is horrible to my ears - more bass is the last thing I want as these are bloated from stock to my ears (appreciate its subjective though). Once I've massively EQ'd them, they are much better sound wise and of course the Mic is great. Eq does stick between Xbox/PC and when I have them connected to the PS5 in USB mode so that's a plus.
With that headband bracket issue popping up rather frequently, they should honestly just release a version with metal ones. Increase the price by like ten to twenty bucks, and all'd be okay.
I just purchased the blackshark v2 pro 2023 for my ps5... Also put on the wicked cushions in. Next day shipping to Ky!! Super comfy. Not as "cool" as what I thought they would be but it's allllllll good.
Try to reset the pads by putting something cold on them for 5-10 minutes, it’s getting hotter and hotter out there in these warehouses and the gels just need a little resetting
@@WickedCushionsThanks guys! I figure it's like anything. At first sitting not direct but in the ac of the house is really cool. I figure our body heat will eventually win over the coolness after an hour or so of game play so it's no big deal. They're great though! Easy install after watching the video popped right off and lining the pins as yall said to do. Excellent product and will recommend to anyone.
@@dohanhautier5584 I was able to take it to work and adjust everything on my pc then take it home and it did save it. So id say it does store it in the headset. There is some very iffy info on that in forums and comments but first hand. It works. Only real difference Is the USB-c dongle and the ability to adjust on your phone from this new one. Idk if the USB-c will make much difference in the quality of connection but so far mine has been great with no white noise these folks are talking about. I also picked mine up on Amazon like new for 113$ shipped. So that savings and the wicked cushions set me up for less than a new one.
@@dohanhautier5584 I posted and it got taken down?? Yes it will save from your pc. Only difference is the USB-c dongle and being able to use your phone for settings. I picked mine up like new for 113$ on am azon.. got the wicked cushions for 30$ so still saved money and works perfect.
So the regular Blackshark V2 Pro 2023 is better because it has an extra cable to extend the dongle range, plus it has a USB-A dongle which is still more available
I bought Black Shark v2 Props 5 today. I bought it to use it alternately on PC and PS5. But when connected to PC, synapses won't recognize it. I tried to download and install the latest version of Firmware 2023, but the dongle won't recognize it. Does device recognition and device setup work only on PS5? Doesn't it work on PC? RAZER didn't have enough guidance.
By far the best overall headset ever designed. Extremely comfortable. Mic is top quality. Sound not the best but good separation of different sounds. Just an all around grade A headset.
5:56 just my opinion, but I’ve seen people complain about build quality with all sorts of headsets and I’ve learned that most people are actually not good at taking care of their tech and treat it like garbage. I still own my V1 Blacksharks and they’ve never broken or squeaked or anything like that.
@@ad6m.there is a app on xbox. I wasnt able to do it on the phone it only showed the playstation version. Im also not sure if synapse works for these as well. I wasnt able to connect mine and it wouldnt pop up so maybe not.
@clawson32104 don't know how you managed that because Razor support emailed me saying, unfortunately, you can only save the pc model custome settings to pc. I'll get the ps5 version now, though.
@@danybayor Did you get the PS5 version? What's your feedback about it? Are the eq AND mic settings on the phone saved in some onboard memory so it's applied when using it with 2.4Ghz on PS5/PC ?
@arkeez1181 Yes, I got the ps5 version. Work exactly like the pc one, but you can't customise through the app and save the settings. It's just what I was looking for. I believe there are more layers and depth to the customisation on pc, but the ps5 version can still perform a fair bit of customisation for games of your choice. You just do all the customisation in the app and ittl save to your headset when paired. Sidetone was my biggest issue as I couldn't save setting from the pc version to play on my ps5. Now, I can turn sidetone on and use a variety of default sounds, like broadcast, meeting room, or even personal customisation.
@@danybayor Hey, thanks a lot for your feedback. I'm sorry but something was not very clear: when you said "but you can't customise through the app and save the settings", you were talking about the regular 2023 PC version, right? If yes, that means that with the PS5 version, you can: 1. Pair your headset to your phone with bluetooth 2. Customize all the settings (including eq and MIC), those get saved to the onboard memory 3. Disconnect the headset from the phone 4. Connect the headset to PS5 / PC / Macbook through wireless 5. Enjoy the headset with the saved Mic/eq settings (selected on the phone) active Is that right?
@@TheTechne Weird, I also have not heard any reviewer point it out buy personally the ones I tried out always had it. A lot of people online shared the same experience as me and unfortunately I had to return them. I just couldn't bare it, otherwise they were absolutely great. Ty for your answer
This headset seems to tick every box but the biggest thing that turns me away from it is no simultaneous blutooth. Its a shame really, I guess i'll probably just stick with Steelseries for now. But the lack of that feature loses them a customer really
@@arkeez1181 The steelseries Nova 7's seem really good Edit: I have the Steelseries Arctis 9 and they're good but the battery life is meh and charge using micro USB whereas the Nova's use USB C
The fact that you can't connect to Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz simultaneously is really the one thing that has been keeping me from buying the Blacksharks...was really hoping they would get that working by now
Bought the PS5 version to give a shot and honestly kinda disappointed. I mean they are comfortable and the microphone sounds great but they aren't without issues. First the overall volume is pretty low in my opinion. For reference I also have a pair of Steelseries Arctis Nova 7X and the Logitech Astro A50X and both are noticably louder. The Astro are loudest of the three. The Nova which also connects via a dongle is a bit louder but enough that it's noticable. I'm guessing Razer either has a volume limiter on by default or kept the volume low to prevent people from damaging their ears. If there is a volume limiter that you need to access via the app then that's another issue for me. I downloaded the app but my headset won't connect to it or it cannot be found when using the app. The Bluetooth works and connected to my Android without any issues.
Hi Techne... Appreciate ALL Your Reviews etc, so please Keep up the GTEAT Work !! BUT...I Have a Serious Question for you to "PLEASE HELP"... I Bought the "Xbox Version" of this New Razer Blackshark V2 Pro Console Headset & 'HOW" do you Make your OWN "EQ SETTINGS" & "Where" ?? Because the Xbox Razer Audio Setup App does Absolutely"NOTHING" !!! Can You "PLEASE" Do a "TUTORIAL" on HOW us Xbox Gamers who just Purchased the Xbox Version of this Headset can Create our Own EQ Game Settings, the Mic etc as the Razer Audio Setup App has "Nothing" !! To me, it's just so you can Sync the Headset to your Xbox Console but That's it !! PLEASE PLEASE HELP !!??? Thank You 😟🥺🥺
I am never buying another Razer headphone. The signal is really bad on my Blackshark V2 pro. I can't sit on my sofa and game from my PC when it is sitting 6ft away without getting these dam beeps, but my Sennhiser Momentum 4 allows me to walk around the entire first floor of my house with no drops on BT and dongle. SMH

I was just watching your videos last night on the pc variants. I was disappointed they didn't fully work on console. Thank you for keeping up to date on this stuff. I only watch your videos before purchasing a headset. Keep up the good work man, appreciate you
I’m going to watch this whole thing again just because you listened to the feedback without getting all bent out of shape. Well done. Thanks.
I appreciate that
This is going to be a long comment so TL;DR at the end.
Great video as always. I bought the V2 Pro 2023s in December and have loved almost everything about them as I did the wired V2s before them. If I had the money I'd probably buy the PS5 ones just to not have to move my dongle from my PC lol.
That said, I have some insight on the build quality issue. Now, I have owned two previous Blackshark models, a wired V2 and a V2 X. Neither one ever had a single issue with anything cracking or breaking for years and I'm not rough with my gear. I bought the V2 Pro 2023 edition in December. They were fine too, until in March, I was just looking at them and noticed a hairline crack, right on that bracket on the left side right where the wire on the inside would be mounted. Not only that, but there was also a very slight bulging right next to the crack where the other wire would be. I thought "What is this?! I've only had them like 3 months!"
Well, I saw enough broken headsets on reddit and amazon to know I should just RMA the thing now when it's clear that it is a stress crack and not an impact break from mishandling it. After a little back and forth with Razer they agreed the headset was faulty and sent me a new one which I just received yesterday. The box design was slightly different so it is definitely one produced a bit later than my old one. And you know what? The second I put the new one on, I immediately noticed the clamping force seemed a little softer than my first one. This leads me to think that the people that are all getting the same piece on the headset breaking are just receiving units that putting a little too much force on that piece. I noticed also the plastic on that piece feels a little different compared to my V2 and V2 X. Maybe they went with slightly different plastic on the V2 Pro 2023s? Or maybe they just feel different because I've had them awhile lol.
Either way, coming from someone who has had 3 different Blacksharks and only my V2 Pros gave me an issue, I'd advise against implying people are just not taking care of their stuff. You can just say you haven't had any issues and leave it at that. We've probably all been there with a product at some time. Everyone else loves it, and you're the unlucky person that got two or three faulty units in a row until you just swear off the company lol.
TL;DR: Love the video, you rock, some units of the V2 Pros maybe have too much clamping force causing the breaks. The second you notice any kind of fault in that piece, RMA immediately, Razer should take care of it if it's clear you did not smash it or something.
I see your point, but I didn't call anyone out, I just mentioned the reviews. I can only speak on a review what I have used, and that's many many many pairs of blacksharks with no issues.

I just mean, I wouldn't personally add in lines wondering what other people are doing to theirs, when most people are probably putting them through less torture than your twists in the videos lol. Hopefully my replacement will be fine because I really love the headset otherwise.
@@guiltygamerxrd yeah, I have been waiting for one to bust on camera, lol. I actually do that stress test after all my use and testing also.
I would say the only headset I was scared would break was my old Arctis pro. But they just got super loose.
So youve been able to turn THX off on your pc and it transferred to your PS5?
OMG FINALLY! Been waiting for these to be available on Xbox 🤣😩
Great Video. I had the original V2 BlackSharks and loved them. I currently have the EPOS H6Pros but I was always impressed with the V2 black sharks pros. We have to go and hear these ones for myself.
Blacksharks have always been underrated. There are better headphones but that comfort/sound combination is solid.
Yeah mine broke in the same spot you were showing. I got ahold of razer and they replaced mine with a brand new headset. I was just putting mine on my head and it just snapped. Was so weird.
I had the same problem few days ago. Mine broke on the same spot, when i put my Headset on my head.
have you tried the beyerdynamic MMX 300 headset or the beyerdynamic MMX 200 Wireless Gaming Headset just curious of your thoughts on them
I don't understand why you didn't record your voice through your PC while tweaking the settings in the app. Do the settings only apply to the phone??
Great Video Techne! Question: Is there Sidetone on the PS5 Version? Can you hear yourself through the headset? After having this feature on my SteelSeries, I can't live without it
Yes there is. I talk a decent amount about it in the features and functions section
Even better watching the second time! Enjoy your stuff Techne
Thank u so much
I love your reviews so much. Always end up deciding after a video of yours!
you are needed and appreciated.. the best
just got these but might return them, only reason is they are way too quiet, changed multiple settings on the razer app, doesn’t help at all
Nice to see Razer finally giving the Xbox some love with it's wireless headsets. I was using the PC version on my PS5 and don't see enough of a difference to warrant a purchase.
Are the Mic AND eq preset settings saved to some form of onboard memory tho? I read somewhere on the internet that it's not the case, at least with the regular 2023 edition
@@arkeez1181 you use the Razer Audio app for the console version and EQ settings do save. Same as micro adjustments
@@arkeez1181 ..I used synapse and any changes I made saved and carried over to my PS5.
Thanks man love your videos
Does synapse recognize this if you use it on pc?
What app is it, will it work with the 2023 version?
I was literally going to order the 2023 version this week and the timing could not be any better for this to release for my ps5!! Very excited Techne!!! 🤩🥳🙌🎧
What's your feedback about it? Are the eq AND mic settings on the phone saved in some onboard memory so it's applied when using it with 2.4Ghz on PS5/PC ?
Can i use the playstation version on pc as well? I have a usbc port? Or via bluetooth? I use pc sometimes
Same concern, I'm a primarily PC player but have the PS5. Is there any difference when connecting to PC between the versions?
Whats the difference between the PC version and the console version if you are going to use them on pc? I saw the console versions going for way cheaper for some reason
PC version has 2 more Esport EQ settings available (Valorant and CS:GO) I'm on PS5 and personally wish I had just kept the regular 2023 version instead of getting the console version.
@clawson32104 may I know your reason?
Can you do a top 5 simultaneously connected headset
Hi! Is there any function to listen to yourself while you are talking? On SteelSeries 7p+ they have this, and it is so good for me
Sidetone can be turned on in the app. It's off by default
I understand the app is still experimental but from what you can tell will you be able to connect existing Blacksharks to the new app? I just bought my pair late last year ive been using on my PS5 and really enjoying but if theyre not able to connect to the app thats a bit disappointing.
Do you have to buy the ps5 version, or does the pc version work on ps5
Hey Techne what would be your recommendation for someone who only plays solo RPG and story driven games?
Hi, quick question about the PS5 version: are the eq AND mic settings saved to onboard memory once you disconnect the headset from the phone?
I would like the EQ/Mic settings to be active using 2.4Ghz on both PS5, PC, and Macbook, with the settings done prior through my phone.
If it can't save the settings of both EQ and Mic onboard, I don't see the point compared to the regular 2023 edition. Or is there another way?
I have the PS5 version and had the regular PC 2023 version. The PS5 version for me will not connect to the app to even make any adjustments. The 2023 may require Synapse but it at least saves and worked on my PS5. Also the PS5 version lacks a couple of game EQ settings that the regular 2023 version has
@@clawson32104should I get the 2023 or ps5 ones for the ps5
Which one is better the Razer v2 pro console edition or SteelSeries arctic nova pro wired. I play on both PC and Xbox
I’m curious about this too.
For me the Arctis Nova Pros wins. I have the X version as I have a Series X. It’s worth the money. Can find on sale. With the Arctis I now have one headset for all my platforms. I use simultaneous Bluetooth so it’s another bonus. Just note to use Sonar and adjust your eqs accordingly as that brings the headset to life and mic.
does the xbox version eq save when you use it on pc
How the hell do i connect it to the app, its not even workinh bruh
I'm having the same Freakin issue ???
Same..But with the 2023's.
HELP!
Does this type-C dongle and normal V2 Pro work with Macbooks…?
I’m wondering just like some other people here on how it works with pc? Since it doesn’t come with the usb adapter like the past 2023 version is it only able to use Bluetooth for pc comparability or is there a way to just buy that pc usb adapter?
I have a USB-C input on the back of my pc and it recognizes the headset but the synapse app doesnt, so idk if its because they are barely new or what, but I can use them normally on my pc with the mentioned usb-c input, hope it helps
Can it be used on phone with type c wireless? And does the app work now?
@@bhaiyayatin8463 I have no idea, I returned them pretty quick, having to use the phone app to EQ them was a pain in the ass, if anything just buy the PC version that supports both console and PC.
Will xbox version
EQ will transfer to ps5 via USB mode ?
I dont have the xbox version, but that a good question for sure!!
did u find out?
So if you get the Xbox version, connect to PS5 in USB mode, does that not allow control from the mobile app when using on the PS5 - seemed to suggest they were features and functions you missed out on??
Got a set now - no mobile control on Xbox version confirmed.
@@WhiteHartMart How does the headset plug in? There isn’t a USB-C port on the back. Do you use a USB-C to USB-A adapter??
@@finnbray5137 yes. There’s a USB A to USB C adaptor in the box.
@@WhiteHartMartThank you for the reply, I’ve been trying to figure out if I should get these or really break the bank on the newer white set of the steel series nova pros. Just looking for an immersive headset with adjustable EQ’s.
Is it only the console versions that work with the app for changing eq settings?
I like that they have a console version now, but hesitant to buy without simultaneous audio. Tried on a pair of the regular 23 v2 pro, nice , comfy and loud. But lacked a little bass. Still lightweight and not to tight clamping. Might stick with my TB stealth 700 gen 2 MAX headset , though they do clamp a little tight.
I have the 2023 version and I get a lot of connection issues like cut outs and robot sounding audio. I’ve tried everything to fix it and never got better. How are these as far as connectivity?
If I’m using Audeze Maxwell Xbox edition, is there any advantage of this Razer Xbox version over it other than being lighter? I know the drivers are different and Maxwell has support for Dolby Atmos but to me it may not matter that much if the sound of the Razer is good. Thanks
Hi I use to play on xbone but now I play on ps5 because the games are much better I have the audeze maxwell but I don't use them because there too too heavy for every usage and I play 8 hours a day I'm using the turtle beach stealth pro I would go with the razer 2024 edition because there much much lighter and comfy your going to lose some volume because the audeze maxwell get very loud stay safe and happy gaming
@@jamesstevens968 so far I don’t really have issue for the gaming session hours I have with Maxwell. Usually just around 2-3 hours, not super long. I just rewatch some of the Razer Blackshark v2 pro 2023 PC version reviews and seem the staging and sound imaging not that superb. I mainly play fps game so if that’s not that good, guess less motivation to get it
@jamesstevens968 He was asking about a headset, yet you have to console war. You ponies are weird. Grow up!
@@hjshoon5244to be fair all headphones can use Dolby atmos. Thats just their marketing tactic to make it seem it’s special made for it. All they do is give you a code to buy the license for free.
the wicked cushions suck for the headset honestly makes the ears warmer.
And a much tighter fit. That's my issue with Wiked Cushions. They're overkill in the thickness department and increase clamping force. So many TH-cam reviewers recommend them but never discuss the downsides, such as increased clamping force and added weight.
I usually dont like wicked cushions. But its a must have for this headset imo. They are so comfortable once you get the WC ear pads
Hello Techne! Do you still recommend the BlackShark V2 X?
Only for footsteps it lacks bass. Better get the standard Blackshark V2.
Could you recommend a headset which is lightweight and has simultaneous connection? And not Steelseries😢
hi is there something that the playstation version lacks compared to the 2023 version? im thinking of getting the PS version just in case i buy the console in the future
Any good eq settings for these for fps?
Turtle beach has new stealth 600 gen 3 headsets
If your wondering how these sound skip 13min
It’s actually 14min, + there are timestamps
Pleeeeease can you answer me what is better this headset or the pulse elite on the ps5❤ and i will play on fps games
Could you tell me if it is possible to connect the Razer Blackshark v2 Pro to 2 devices at the same time? That is, if you can connect them to a console and a cell phone at the same time or a PC and a cell phone at the same time and listen to the audio simultaneously from both devices?
No you can’t connect to two devices simultaneously
Not usually one that automatically reaches for the Wicked Cushions pads but the Freeze pads have massively improved these for me. Far less irratating material and have improved the sound (less 'boxy/artificial soinding).
so if i have the pc verizon can i use them wirelessly on my series x or no???
So if I own and Xbox and Ps5, I should get the Xbox version since it works on both?
Are there any headsets that have simultaneous 2.4 and Bluetooth?
Do these connections to both xbox pc ps5 and phone as i have all and i need headphones that connects to all not just one or two
Do you know how to make my smartphone detect my headset mic and not my phone mic? When i use my headset on my phone.
Anyone know why these aren't compatible with synapse yet? Also, the mic monitoring on mine (xbox edition) sounds really tinny. Anyone have similar issues?
The build definitely isn't "perfectly fine" if countless people have brought up the same issue that those brackets break over time. I've had this happen to 2 pairs of these. I LOVE these headsets for many reasons. The sound is good enough for me, the mic is amazing, and they feel very cozy on my head -- but I'll never get another one because of the cheap construction there.
The "How people break these" comment... I "broke them" by putting them on my head and taking them off. I'm never rough with any of my gear. Stuff costs money, and I don't happen to have an endless supply of that. So I think it's less of "I broke them" and more, they just fell apart because they're cheap pieces of crap.
I love your reviews, but don't discount several people's experiences with something and act like they're invalid because it hasn't happened to you. After my first one broke while I was just sitting there playing a game, I looked up how often this happens to people and it looks to be fairly common.
I have owned multiple pairs, even let my 9yr old son use them, with no issues.
That still completely misses my point. I'm not saying that this will happen to every single pair of these headsets, but just because you have a pair (or pairs) that hasn't broken in that way, doesn't mean that they're perfectly fine and that others haven't had a pair (or pairs) that have broken there due to no fault of their own. In your experience they're fine, sure, but not overall if this is a fairly often reported issue. They were also my main headset, worn every day for months on end, they weren't cycled out regularly.
Several people have reported this issue. I'm well aware that there are countless pairs of these headsets that it will never happen to, but to disregard all the cases that it has happened and putting the blame on the user is a mistake.
I am very glad that you did at least bring attention to the issue in the video, so that's great. Also, credit for saying that *in your experience* they're fine. Putting the blame directly on the user is rather insulting, at least in my case (and reportedly several others), as I did nothing wrong with either pair of my 2023s that should have made the right ear cup break off.
You mention that you let your 9 year old use them, I'm assuming to illustrate that even a child didn't break them when using them. I guess because kids are known to be rough with things... I get where you're going with that, but that doesn't invalidate my point either when I clearly stated that I wasn't rough with them. Being rough had nothing to do with it. They just broke. For no apparent reason. While just wearing them. In the middle of just sitting at my pc playing a game. I'm also pretty sure that I have a larger head than a 9 year old, as would most adults, so I'd bet that my head placed more stress on the point of failure than a 9 year old's head would place on the joints. So maybe it's just a rather large melon problem that causes this issue after wearing them for countless hours. Whatever the reason, it does happen.
It was interesting too, because it wasn't just a quick snap. The first pair's ear cup broke off in 3 stages over the course of months. First the inner plate of the joint snapped off. I didn't think that much of it. I figured "oh well, they still seem fine... not sure why that happened." Then a few months later something from inside the joint broke off. Then finally I was just sitting there and the whole thing snapped and the metal wires dug into my bald head lol the cup just dangled there.
As I stated before. I LOVE these headsets. It makes me sad that I'm not willing to buy another pair, and I hope that anyone that gets them has a better experience than I did... anyway this is already way too long, keep up the great work. I'll keep watching.
@@seviin2685I get your point 100%. Just stating my personal experience. 👍
@seviin2685 Get a grip, man. Any product has a percentage of failures. So because you experienced a fault, which is clearly a minority, that should be a warning to all gamers? Get over yourself.
I had a PS5 that overheated and failed. So should I be warning everyone else not to buy one, just in case?
Whether you treated the headset rough or not is irrelevant. You obviously feel offended by the suggestion. But to assume your experience is applicable to all these headsets, and doubt the words of Techne because he hasn't had the same experience as you. I don't understand why some people feel compelled to share a bad experience with a product and state it as fact.
I had the Audeze Maxwell and experienced a foil crinkle sound by simply putting the headset on & off. The driver was essentially broken. I didn't feel compelled to warn others not to buy the Maxwell, just because I had a bad experience. My point being, IF you didn't mishandle the headset, there's a very good chance you won't experience the same fault with another headset. If it was a design flaw, the problem would be more widespread than a few people posting broken pics on Amazon.
You appear to have not read everything I said. Anything that I would say to rebut any of your points I have already said in the previous posts... just reread (or read). No where in anything that I posted did I warn anyone off of this headset. I brought more awareness to a fault in the design. I never told anyone not to buy them. I actually said that I hope it doesn't happen to anyone else, and aside from the fault in the build quality, I give them an absolutely glowing review.
You contradict yourself in your own post by saying, "Whether you treated the headset rough or not is irrelevant" and then go on to say, "My point being, IF you didn't mishandle the headset, there's a very good chance you won't experience the same fault with another headset. If it was a design flaw, the problem would be more widespread than a few people posting broken pics on Amazon."
Anyway, you can just read anything I wrote to answer your points, as it'll just be retyping the same things over an over at this point that I already typed the first time.
So I just got the pc version of this headset and was unaware the console version existed and am using it on my ps5. But I have an issue with the mic and there’s a constant feedback in the mic and my party of friends say it sounds like a constant popping sound. Is it because I have the headset connected to a console and not pc?
You have a bad unit. Return it if possible. I have both the Blackshark V2 Pro 2023 and PS5 console version and both microphones work perfectly and come across crystal clear. I actually prefer the 2023 version for the PS5 as it's volume is louder
I play on ps5, mostly FPS games. I’ve been looking at the hs80 max for my next headset. Does anyone have any other suggestions or do you think the hs80 max will be good? Would like to keep the price around $200. Will take any recommendations from anyone willing to point me in the right direction.
Arctis Nova 7 or 7p. Head to GadgetryTech's review and copy his custom EQ settings. Makes a killer headset for shooters. Only bad thing is the microphone isn't near the quality of Corsairs or the Blackshark one
i have tried hs 80 max on ps5 and its not good because you cant use the full function of the headset without the software. The software only works on PC it doesnt save the settings. HS80 max are useless on ps5. I have bought razer blacksharks v2 pro for the ps5 and i will give a feedback how they are.
I have a problem with them. White noise is present both on 2.4 and BT. Its not like its super loud or something, when you play game/listen to something you dont hear it all but its frustrating anyways. I own also sony ps5 wireless headset and theres none white noise. Anyone tried to solve this issue ?
Would this be an upgrade from my hyper x cloud 3s on Xbox? And can they still be used on pc?
The 2023 versions don't have a 3.5mm headphone jack so it's very awkward to try to get them to work on Xbox, it can't be done simply without 3rd party hardware I think, whereas the 2020 version has a 3.5mm headphone jack so can just be plugged in I think, they should both work on PC via USB, the newer one should also be able to use Bluetooth and the older 3.5mm headphone jack cable
Good stuff
so usbc , and the app? its like 50usd more in my country than the 2023, i dont think its worth the extra price :(
When do these come out
Can you use these without the dongle on ps5?
I was wondering if you can hear enviromental noises when having these on? I got the epos h6 pro and i really disliked them because when wearing them i felt completely isolated from the outside world
Only if u have the mic monitoring on. Without they block a fair amount, but u might hear a pinch, but not much
Does the mic catch alot of background noise. When i game i have a fan running most of the time.
no, this model have one of the better mics out there
does the xbox version work with playstation?
Hi there. I feel like the headset is not giving 100% of the volume in ps5 nor pc. The sound “quality” is very good and the eq app works well…but the overall volume seems like “caped” at 70%.
Anyone with this problem?
Is it because the usbC connection?
Any known question on this by razer?
Im thinking about returning them.
This version doesnt sound as loud as the 2020 version 😮
Help!
Bought a set. Out of the box the sound profile is horrible to my ears - more bass is the last thing I want as these are bloated from stock to my ears (appreciate its subjective though). Once I've massively EQ'd them, they are much better sound wise and of course the Mic is great. Eq does stick between Xbox/PC and when I have them connected to the PS5 in USB mode so that's a plus.
Can you use the Xbox version via usb on pc?
No it seems not. @@BorisEnjoyer

With that headband bracket issue popping up rather frequently, they should honestly just release a version with metal ones. Increase the price by like ten to twenty bucks, and all'd be okay.
I just purchased the blackshark v2 pro 2023 for my ps5... Also put on the wicked cushions in. Next day shipping to Ky!! Super comfy. Not as "cool" as what I thought they would be but it's allllllll good.
Try to reset the pads by putting something cold on them for 5-10 minutes, it’s getting hotter and hotter out there in these warehouses and the gels just need a little resetting
@@WickedCushionsThanks guys! I figure it's like anything. At first sitting not direct but in the ac of the house is really cool. I figure our body heat will eventually win over the coolness after an hour or so of game play so it's no big deal. They're great though! Easy install after watching the video popped right off and lining the pins as yall said to do. Excellent product and will recommend to anyone.
Are you able to transfer your pre-sets from your PC to the headset ? Is it automatically saved ? Or is there a need to buy this PS5 version ?
@@dohanhautier5584 I was able to take it to work and adjust everything on my pc then take it home and it did save it. So id say it does store it in the headset. There is some very iffy info on that in forums and comments but first hand. It works. Only real difference Is the USB-c dongle and the ability to adjust on your phone from this new one. Idk if the USB-c will make much difference in the quality of connection but so far mine has been great with no white noise these folks are talking about. I also picked mine up on Amazon like new for 113$ shipped. So that savings and the wicked cushions set me up for less than a new one.
@@dohanhautier5584 I posted and it got taken down?? Yes it will save from your pc. Only difference is the USB-c dongle and being able to use your phone for settings. I picked mine up like new for 113$ on am azon.. got the wicked cushions for 30$ so still saved money and works perfect.
Can I use the PS version on Xbox. Or the Xbox version on PS?
So the regular Blackshark V2 Pro 2023 is better because it has an extra cable to extend the dongle range, plus it has a USB-A dongle which is still more available
Well, we can’t get the 2023 edition for Xbox players because it’s not compatible this is why it’s so good that this is come out for Xbox players
I bought Black Shark v2 Props 5 today. I bought it to use it alternately on PC and PS5. But when connected to PC, synapses won't recognize it. I tried to download and install the latest version of Firmware 2023, but the dongle won't recognize it. Does device recognition and device setup work only on PS5? Doesn't it work on PC? RAZER didn't have enough guidance.
Can it be used on phone with type c wireless?
you should have bought the 2023 version if you also play on pc. This version is more for just console players.
By far the best overall headset ever designed. Extremely comfortable. Mic is top quality. Sound not the best but good separation of different sounds. Just an all around grade A headset.
Do you feel also like the max sound is some how “limited”? Like it should go up a little bit more?
Ik these are the console versions but are they still compatible with pc?
Yess they are
Does this console version work with pc too?
Yes
Does the Xbox version work on pc???
Yo got mine today and it wont connect to Xbox Series X WTF , i got the blackshark V2 Pro as well
I was jazzed to see Razer's email about this today.
5:56 just my opinion, but I’ve seen people complain about build quality with all sorts of headsets and I’ve learned that most people are actually not good at taking care of their tech and treat it like garbage. I still own my V1 Blacksharks and they’ve never broken or squeaked or anything like that.

What's your feedback about it? Are the eq AND mic settings on the phone saved in some onboard memory so it's applied when using it with 2.4Ghz on PS5/PC ?
@arkeez1181 Yes, I got the ps5 version. Work exactly like the pc one, but you can't customise through the app and save the settings. It's just what I was looking for. I believe there are more layers and depth to the customisation on pc, but the ps5 version can still perform a fair bit of customisation for games of your choice. You just do all the customisation in the app and ittl save to your headset when paired. Sidetone was my biggest issue as I couldn't save setting from the pc version to play on my ps5. Now, I can turn sidetone on and use a variety of default sounds, like broadcast, meeting room, or even personal customisation.
@@danybayor Hey, thanks a lot for your feedback.
I'm sorry but something was not very clear: when you said "but you can't customise through the app and save the settings", you were talking about the regular 2023 PC version, right?
If yes, that means that with the PS5 version, you can:
1. Pair your headset to your phone with bluetooth
2. Customize all the settings (including eq and MIC), those get saved to the onboard memory
3. Disconnect the headset from the phone
4. Connect the headset to PS5 / PC / Macbook through wireless
5. Enjoy the headset with the saved Mic/eq settings (selected on the phone) active

early gang where ya at?
no rapid trigger- dated
Bought the PS5 version to give a shot and honestly kinda disappointed. I mean they are comfortable and the microphone sounds great but they aren't without issues. First the overall volume is pretty low in my opinion. For reference I also have a pair of Steelseries Arctis Nova 7X and the Logitech Astro A50X and both are noticably louder. The Astro are loudest of the three. The Nova which also connects via a dongle is a bit louder but enough that it's noticable. I'm guessing Razer either has a volume limiter on by default or kept the volume low to prevent people from damaging their ears. If there is a volume limiter that you need to access via the app then that's another issue for me. I downloaded the app but my headset won't connect to it or it cannot be found when using the app. The Bluetooth works and connected to my Android without any issues.
