Razer BlackShark V2

Razer BlackShark V2 Review

Razer's BlackShark V2 represents one of the better value for money headsets out there for the price. With its comfy design, punchy audio and good software integration, it ticks all the right boxes for gamers. That being said, some users might be left wanting more with regards to microphone performance.

Fantastic Headset Despite Some Set-Up

This is an extremely comfortable and durable headset with great sound quality and a good microphone (following some refinement of settings) to boot! The earcups fit snugly, there is solid noise isolation from the external environment and the headset is able to be worn for an extended period of time. The only downsides to this product include the USB sound card not including a volume dial as well as having to adjust a few settings in order to achieve adequate microphone quality and clarity.

Good sound. Mic volume is quite low

Pretty good sound. I like the volume control knob. It's useful. One of the most important things for me is how comfort it is. This headset is pretty comfortable to wear. It's light, has got soft ear cushions and is not tight. I can wear it for an hour or two without pain on my ears or head. Downside is that the mic doesn't pick up my voice well. I have to place it really really close to my mouth. If the mic is 2~3cm or further away I will have to shout, or people won't be able to hear me, though this issue could be solved by adjusting mic volume on Windows or somewhere (I don't know how to do it yet).
