My company had us all working from home since Covid and found it cheaper to just keep us all home, so I've worn this headset day in and day out for 12-14 hours a day. Extremely good quality, the only thing that's degraded over time is the ear pads since they don't breathe much so I end up sweating a bit in them. I've since replaced them with some velour ear pads from Transtek and it's like putting pillows over my ears. Sometimes I forget I'm even wearing them. Everything else is as good as the day I pulled them out of the box.
@@twohorsesinamancostume7606 i'm planning to buy razer headset also for wfh purpose. But still considering between barracuda x 2022 and this v2 pro. Any suggestion?
@@Iedzharm if you need battery life get the barracuda x 2022, with 50H but it has a bit less adjustability and comfort is pretty bad compared to the blackshark v2 pro, it isnt bad but it cant stand a chance to the pro
The fact that you explained clamping force is amazing. I prefer light clamp, that's why i typically use stereo headphones instead. But this might be my first wireless gaming headset.
I really like this headset. Its my favorite one so far. I love the way we can using it wirelesly on pc and android or ios devices. The spatial sound mode is outstanding ! Great review my friend.
With a dongle from micro usb or usb c or whatever the port type to usb type A female and plug the blackdhark usb dongle to it. But for the test i made so far it only works for listening , the mcrophone do not work.
Those metal wires on earcups are also used on almost all military ear pro headsets. I got a set of 300bucks active earpro and they have those same rails, and those are made to run around and shoot, so I don’t think that’s a problem for gaming!
Lack of clamping force is the most important feature for me. When I bought my A50 7~8 years ago, it was the only wireless headset with reduced clamping force. A50 is starting fail and I am in the market for new set. Now I have options. I don’t have to drop $300 for a good comfortable headset. Edit; I got a set of these now and they do create a bit of a hot spot on the outer edges of my ear. It does clamp a bit harder than my Astro. I’m thinking they need a bit of wearing in before they become as comfortable as my gen1 (maybe gen2?) A50. Hope this helps someone.
@@BulletTrucking99 I like them a lot better. Either it stretched out or my ears have gotten used to it. Burning sensation at the edges of my ear are gone. One minor complaint: wireless dongle needs clear line of sight to head set. If you plug the wireless dongle on the back of the computer you might get beeping as it can’t maintain clean connection.
if you were to pick one over the other what are you taking??? I went to best buy planning on buying a40s or a50s, price is just soo high, found these v2 nearly half the price and Im about to give them a try… Very hyped for the wireless, seems like good for quality for the pirce. Are astro a50 worth the money?
I have the wired one and it's been a year. I use it almost everyday and still looks like new lol. Everything's working fine too. Really great purchase. Thanks to this video, I'm more convinced to buy the wireless version hihi
Bought these a few days ago. Really good. Glad I can keep THX driver running even for music. Other sets I've had I've had to disable anything like that for normal music.
This was an awesome review! Crazy good quality. What's going on...you deserve WAY more subs 🤔 Keep it up bro. You made my purchase decision easier today. Thank you! 😊
Had mine for less then half a year. the mic can at random times be super low for no good reason. Restarting the headset or applications don't seem to do anything, the mic also have to be stupid close to your mouth for it to be optimal. The volume controller on the left side can cutt sound from the right side completely if you bump in to it with you shoulder or the side of your chair and you will have to fidget the controller back and forth until it normalize.
bought this headset the other day to replace my blown nari ultimates ive had for 2 years now. I returned the headset due to extreme crackling and terrible sound quality when using the bass boost function in razer synapse. Currently using my nari ultiamtes with blown speakers, sounds much better than the blackshark v2 pro.
So I've had two pairs of these for my ps4 and from the get go I've had issues. My friends tell me I often sound like a robot because of mic issues the bluetooth never worked. It took a year for it to get bad enough to the point where they couldn't understand me at all that I returned it and tried a 2nd one same brand and model but right out of the box it was so much worse. I ended up returning and swapped with a pair of Astros.
Another great video. I watched the earlier video comparing this headset to another and now seeing this I am glad I purchased the Razer V2. Keep up the great videos showing products as they age,,,most do not do that.
Are we talking about the same razor black shark v2 pro? Because I could only play a game with it. Sounded very cheap and unpleasant overall. I had to check on it to confirm because there are a few reviewers raving on its sounds…it sounds not up to par IMHO
@@Thomas41532 I’m gonna be honest, I hate it, synapse is a pain, the mic is horrendous and there is a low hsss sound on low volumes. I would recommend to stay away from gaming headsets and getting a standalone mic and headset if you can.
@@type_mob I actually ended up getting the Arctic Nova 7 its an absolute pain in the ass to set up with their software but they sound pretty good once everything’s working and the mic is meh but thats to be expected.
I have Razer Blackshark V2 Pros. After 11 months, mine made a weird loud noise one day. I turned them off and on again and it was fine. Now a couple of days later, I have to do a ritual to make them charge, and when they do, they turn off. Note: I've been using a magnetic cable to charge them, and the cable that comes with it won't even work with it, but the magnetic one does if I disconnect and reconect it in a weird way. Now I've found that the surround audio channel doesn't work anymore.
@@bentz4231 honestly they’ve been great, the sound and everything is so good and my only complaint which is something I already got used to is that it felt annoying wearing glasses with it but it’s nothing to worry about after a few days or weeks
Does the THX surround sound work on Xbox series X? if so, do I have to activate it on my computer before using it with the xbox? If I am correct I recall you said you where an Xbox user?:)
I have fairly large head. I don’t think I’ll have a problem with the wires sliding lol. I’ve been using a Corsair HS60 for the past year and man....my head broke those bad. Had to glue shit together. Thinking about buying this currently. You certainly sealed the deal
Great video review. Is the THX settings auto enabled or does it need to be enabled manually? Is there an indicator once the headset is fully charge or low on battery?
You can enable/disable the THX setting through the Razer Synapse and yes there're indicators for when your headset is fully charged, charging, low battery, and critically low battery. I hope this helps!
I really love them but my headset had a noise when i turned the volume to the max. I thought it was a problem with my headset and sent it back but after i saw many people that posting that issue. does your headset have that noise when you put the volume to the max or no ?
Bought the Nari and was somewhat ok with them for like 3 weeks. Then i didnt like em. Returned them for these and wow, what a difference. Way more comfortable and sound better. The haptic was too much a gimmick and not really needed imo. Now im seeing that the Cprsair Virtuoso RGB Wireless XT is also superb. Not sure if to return them for those or just keep these. I might even get them and try them both at the same time/ Unless u do a video vs these 2. Anyone tried both?
@@CalebThornton OK, i returned the V2 pro to try out the Virtuoso XT. Holy shit. At first i was like meh. But once i messed with the dolby atmos settings and unchecked defaults it was a huge difference. Out of the box they are missing low end imo. They are so premium looking and feel too. In comfort id say their a 9 if the V2 Pro's are a 10. Sound is really superb and def was glad i exchanged them for these. You will see what i mean if you ever get them for review.
is it good for 100 bucks? i really dont like that i cant remove the ear cushions its like i have to replace the headsets when they are dirty because of daily use and sweat
Was wondering if you somehow had fixed, or didn’t experience the crackling with the headset. I’ve had mine for about a day and after all the updating and tweaking i’m still getting a crackling noise cutting out a bit of audio every 30 seconds or so. Any fix you know of or you just didn’t get this issue?
I love short reviews like this. May I know your opinion if it's worth the upgrade from my Logitech G Pro headset (not the X) to this? I am not using headphone mic. Looking for better sounding one. If yes, I am able to get this for free because I have enough Razer Silvers to exchange for items. If not, maybe I just get the Hyperspeed Mini keyboard.
Hey there loving your videos, I really need help in deciding which headset to get, i'm torn between the arctis 9 and razer blackshark v2 pro, in terms of audio quality which one would you say is best? I want something that has immersive audio along with a nice amount of bass, I'm not too savvy when it comes to technical details with audio but i've heard the audio with the arctis 9 is hit and miss but the audio control panel where you can change it's presets does that help at all or should I look at getting the blackshark v2 pro?
Arctis Pro is much better because of the equalizer is more professional. Razer tends for 120$ make bad quality headphones. They only want to produce cheap surround stuff that works but not the best.
Does this headset flake like other leather headsets? Like does the ear cushion and headband deteriorate? Hoping that does this one does not deteriorate like my Redragon H510.
I am between this headset and razer kranken.I think razer kranken will last longer because the build seems better but i am not sure.What do you recomend?
Did it peel or flake? Currently looking for the endgame headset I'm considering this Blackshark V2 Pro or Barracuda Pro. Would appreciate your input and insight.
Yeap if it wasnt for that I would have already bought them but now I dont know . It feels like after some time ( a year or so ) they will just be really loose with 0 resistance
Been using it for more than 6 months, the inner pad kinda break apart. Replaced the ear cushion from Misodiko - Cooling gel version. Still loving it but thought of paring it with a DAC/AMP combo. Not sure if Blackshark v2 pro will benefit from it or probably need to get a better headset.
moment u said it slides off and slides down made me say no to these. thank you for the review was helpful. i have the kraken v2. its my second pair. first pair the earcups were getting torn apart at the attaching area leather. so its tear and wear and default mistake i find so myself . i didnt even needed to use any force and it would just tear. my second pair is a newer version with oval earcuos and thse are doing it perfectly but again the leather is tearing apart but at normal places because of the consumer. so im currently looking for likewise headset just want one with volume changer on it and not just a usb cable
Nice video really needed the feedback! You got a sub :D But I have a question I love the fact that it's wireless, but can't decide between the razer blackshard V2, the razer blackshard V2 pro and the Razer kraken X. I want for my cellphone, PC, PS4 and PS5, Wich you think is better?
Thanks! It's not the same sadly not nearly the same volume output but they work ok for it. I just wish Xbox would work with PC headsets wireless like the PS4 does.
PLEASE RESPOND. Alright, i have Been, and am, having battery life issues. It beeps like crazy like beep boop, beep boop. It repeats many times quite often, even though I charge it 20 hours a day. HELP
Man I’m early. Glad to see my headphones will be holding up! I have a question about the surround sound capabilities though. Does it come with a voucher for the THX surround like it does for their other headphones 7.1 surround sound? Couldn’t find an answer to this anywhere.
Thanks for watching! I wish I could answer this question better for you but I really don't remember. I think it may have been a voucher in the box but then again I'm doubting myself since it was 6 months ago.
@@enlargedquack When I received my it didn't come with the voucher, I thought maybe I missed it and went searching for it. But after setting the headsets up it is automatically included in the Synapse software options. That also means Synapse has to always be open for the surround sound to work.
Hey you might not remember me but I commented on your Alienware Aroura r11 vid and you told me to update you when I get one and I ordered it :), it comes in in ten days I’ll update you more
This a great video!! I have the same headsets and was wondering if you also have two sound devices installed under windows as output devices (razer blackshark v2 pro and also THX spatial sound). Which of these two do you use? The synapse app tells me to set THX as default all the time
@@CalebThornton Hi Caleb, me again. Whenever I choose "THX Spatial Sound" I get a MUCH lower volume output from the headphones in comparison to choosing Razer Blackshark v2 pro. Do you happen to have this issue? I recently updated the firmware of the headsets to the latest version
@@anibalhuneeus I have not noticed that issue personally. It may just be the fact that it is using surround sound Vs. not having it so its more direct audio rather than trying to separate it to create the surround sound.
Hi, great video. do you know if I can use this Blackshark V2 Pro with the usb sound card fo the V2? I mean I you want to use this wirelessly version wired to the pc and use THX sound. Was wondering if the usb sound card will work with this.
Hey Caleb have you ever done chair reviews? its a little late for me i just literrly ordered the ergo chair 2.. but would have loved an in depth review.. most chair reviews on YT seem like paid off shills
I needed to get a new headset b/c my previous set died on me, I just got these and damn they sound good, super comfy and the mic is ok, it's not the best but there's very few mics out there that will sound super good unless you're going to dish out quite a bit and know how to use software to edit it.
I was about to buy this headset few days back, but i decided against for the reason that i need to install that razer synaps app that i started to hate few years back becouse of the resources that it was eating on my laptop. And since i already have the app from hyperx ngenuity, i went for a hyperx cloud 2 wireless instead. They were at about the same price. Still not sure which one would have been better, i certainly like the look of the blackshark v2 pro a little bit more, but i saw on some reviews that it is prety frigile.
Would you say it would be worth switching to the blackshark v2 pro from Arctis 9x? Mostly concerned about comfort and sound. I use a stand alone mic so idc about that portion.
My arctic 7x Hyper x I think it’s called and after heavy use it now has broken on one side and I’m now looking for a new headset should I get this headset or the razor black shark v2 non pro
In order for it to work with console it has to be connected with the 3.5 mm cable? I tried them on my ps5, they sound great but teammates cannot hear me.
Whatever you do don't fall asleep with these on lol, they're confortable and you will forget abut it. I noticed my sound cuts in and out now probably from dropping it. He's right thoufgh if you take care of them they're pretty good headsets.
The headset is amazing. The only complain i have is that it gets too hot on my ears. I will definetely need to replace those ear pads with more breathable material.

thank you for this review bro, good quality and helped me decide to buy this.
Thank you! I hope it works well for you :)
moment u said it slides off and slides down made me say no to these. thank you for the review was helpful. i have the kraken v2. its my second pair. first pair the earcups were getting torn apart at the attaching area leather. so its tear and wear and default mistake i find so myself . i didnt even needed to use any force and it would just tear. my second pair is a newer version with oval earcuos and thse are doing it perfectly but again the leather is tearing apart but at normal places because of the consumer. so im currently looking for likewise headset just want one with volume changer on it and not just a usb cable
Does this work with PS5? Wireless or cable? Also 3D Tempest audio supported?
Why nobody answer this question? many people confused about the surround sound with ps5
I need a headset that'll work on PS5 & Xbox series S. These actually will work for both but after this review, I'm still searching for a good set
I got the v2 Pro's for my series X and ps5 and works great for both! Dolby atmos on the xbox sounds great
Nice video really needed the feedback! You got a sub :D
But I have a question I love the fact that it's wireless, but can't decide between the razer blackshard V2, the razer blackshard V2 pro and the Razer kraken X. I want for my cellphone, PC, PS4 and PS5, Wich you think is better?
Great review! When you plug these into your Xbox controller do they sound the same as they do wirelessly on PC?
Thanks! It's not the same sadly not nearly the same volume output but they work ok for it. I just wish Xbox would work with PC headsets wireless like the PS4 does.
PLEASE RESPOND. Alright, i have Been, and am, having battery life issues. It beeps like crazy like beep boop, beep boop. It repeats many times quite often, even though I charge it 20 hours a day. HELP
@@lilb_liquid8332 throw them away
Nice review, thanks!
Would these headsets be good for youtube videos while recording/streaming? Thanks
i read some comments that they actually lose connectivity quit often, is this still the case? did it get updated?
Man keep it up ur underrated
Thank you!
@Z3YR0X SYN1X I remember that! OG man, always appreciate the support 😀
My blackshark v2 pro just came and there is a weird static noise when there is no audio played. Did you have the same issue?
Nope that’s a manufacturer fault go return it to them and replace it
I have a big head and it never slips, ideal clamping force for bobble heads
haha, perfect :)
Man I’m early. Glad to see my headphones will be holding up! I have a question about the surround sound capabilities though. Does it come with a voucher for the THX surround like it does for their other headphones 7.1 surround sound? Couldn’t find an answer to this anywhere.
Technically I have them but I have to wait to open them since they’re a birthday present.
Thanks for watching! I wish I could answer this question better for you but I really don't remember. I think it may have been a voucher in the box but then again I'm doubting myself since it was 6 months ago.
@@CalebThornton That’s ok. Thanks for the response anyways though! I’ll find out in about 5 days anyways
@@enlargedquack Exciting! Will have to let me know haha. I hope it works well for you 😀
@@enlargedquack When I received my it didn't come with the voucher, I thought maybe I missed it and went searching for it. But after setting the headsets up it is automatically included in the Synapse software options. That also means Synapse has to always be open for the surround sound to work.
Will the headset connect using the same usb dongle from a razer wireless mouse?
Hey you might not remember me but I commented on your Alienware Aroura r11 vid and you told me to update you when I get one and I ordered it :), it comes in in ten days I’ll update you more
I do remember that profile pic and name haha. I hope it works out good for you 😀 will be interested to hear
Hi, thanks for a video! Do you have a noise in right ear (like from power block)?
thanks for the deep dive! cheers
I use the black shark v2 pro on my Xbox and when I’m playing with my friends they say they hear an echo how do I fix it?
This a great video!! I have the same headsets and was wondering if you also have two sound devices installed under windows as output devices (razer blackshark v2 pro and also THX spatial sound). Which of these two do you use? The synapse app tells me to set THX as default all the time
Thank you! I pretty much always use the spatial audio as I just enjoy it but that is just going to be up to personal preference.
@@CalebThornton thanks Caleb for the reply. But you leave spatial on then with auto setting? Just wondering
@@CalebThornton Hi Caleb, me again. Whenever I choose "THX Spatial Sound" I get a MUCH lower volume output from the headphones in comparison to choosing Razer Blackshark v2 pro. Do you happen to have this issue? I recently updated the firmware of the headsets to the latest version
@@anibalhuneeus I have not noticed that issue personally. It may just be the fact that it is using surround sound Vs. not having it so its more direct audio rather than trying to separate it to create the surround sound.
Does the black shark get software updates? I heard the red magic doesnt get any and its buggy and wondering if this is different.
Great video, also that's one cleeeeean haircut man
Does anybody find the "surround" on these performing better in stereo that in Spacial audio? I play warzone and I feel that it is better in stereo.
Is your headphone Arctis 7P+?
Hi, great video. do you know if I can use this Blackshark V2 Pro with the usb sound card fo the V2? I mean I you want to use this wirelessly version wired to the pc and use THX sound.
Was wondering if the usb sound card will work with this.
It should yes. But you can adjust the eq wirelessly with the v2 pro so you really don't need the sound card.
I plugged in a set of steelseries arctis prime headset to the usb soundcard and it allowed me to adjust the eq and use THX on the steelseries
Does this headset feature some kind of spatial audio also on consoles? Does it work with Dolby Atmos on Xbox?
Hey Caleb have you ever done chair reviews? its a little late for me i just literrly ordered the ergo chair 2.. but would have loved an in depth review.. most chair reviews on YT seem like paid off shills
Misodiko has a tutorial video on how to change the ear cushion it’s actually really easy and their cooling gel ear cushions are very nice
I needed to get a new headset b/c my previous set died on me, I just got these and damn they sound good, super comfy and the mic is ok, it's not the best but there's very few mics out there that will sound super good unless you're going to dish out quite a bit and know how to use software to edit it.
I was about to buy this headset few days back, but i decided against for the reason that i need to install that razer synaps app that i started to hate few years back becouse of the resources that it was eating on my laptop. And since i already have the app from hyperx ngenuity, i went for a hyperx cloud 2 wireless instead. They were at about the same price.
Still not sure which one would have been better, i certainly like the look of the blackshark v2 pro a little bit more, but i saw on some reviews that it is prety frigile.
im watching this while wearing a blackshark v2 pro
How would this compare to hd6xx with dac? I got that combo because of reviews and got to say I'm not impressed with the sound quality or bass...
Would you say it would be worth switching to the blackshark v2 pro from Arctis 9x? Mostly concerned about comfort and sound. I use a stand alone mic so idc about that portion.
You probably decided between the 9x and the blackshark. Which one did you go for and are you satisfied?
Do these headphones have any latency ?
My arctic 7x Hyper x I think it’s called and after heavy use it now has broken on one side and I’m now looking for a new headset should I get this headset or the razor black shark v2 non pro
In order for it to work with console it has to be connected with the 3.5 mm cable? I tried them on my ps5, they sound great but teammates cannot hear me.
On PS5 I think you can use it with the dongle and not even need the 3.5mm. I believe XBOX is the only console you need to use it wired.
Anyone knows where can i find ear cups for the white version?
hello! can you share your eq setting that you are using now?
Whatever you do don't fall asleep with these on lol, they're confortable and you will forget abut it. I noticed my sound cuts in and out now probably from dropping it. He's right thoufgh if you take care of them they're pretty good headsets.
The headset is amazing. The only complain i have is that it gets too hot on my ears. I will definetely need to replace those ear pads with more breathable material.
Don’t get it software issues that don’t allow you to connect or stay connected
Does the eq setting carry on over to the ps5?
I’ve had mine for two years just found out you can replace ear cups lol
PC38X or Blackshark V2 Pro?
I wanna get this headset, is there a better one within the price range?
Get the black shark v2 x. It’s a cheaper wired version
