The Razer Blackshark series has seen a lot of improvements in the recent years. Their sound quality has also changed dramatically and this is one of the reasons we are doing the Razer Blackshark V2 x review. They are suitable and comfortable for long-time gaming, and are even compatible with many consoles and PCs. Their microphones are able to pick up your sound even in noisy environments.
I’ve been researching the perfect audio for my gaming experience for a long time, and have long been focused mainly on gamers and other gamers and often, when purchasing a new over-the-year audio peripheral, I need one of the center points to be clear and sweet. But while we want the best of both worlds, it ultimately ends up with a pair of headphones that gives preference to one speciality over another’s value.
But for some time now, we’ve been looking for peripherals that provide the best balance of soft and great sound, like the Razer Krakain Ultimate and the new Astro A50 wireless headset. The only problem in both of these is that these sarees come at a premium price, which may satisfy the budget users. The new razer black shark v2 x also almost aims to do the same, but it answers the question whether one can have good audio and relax without touching the account.

Razer V2X Headset “Design”
Razer initially introduced the BlackShark to the gaming community. It was very different than the BlackShark at that time. It was a conglomeration of black plastic and silver metal with a neon Razer Green cable. While it didn’t look comfortable, it was more dependent on its utilitarian design. In fact, Razer says it is based on the aviator headset design used by helicopter pilots.
The Razer BlackShark V 2 X has a more suitable, and less substantial design. It fits perfectly with the current gaming headset, which is made in black matte plastic. There’s no RGB at all, and even the Razer logo is a little offset in black. The only color here is a dash of neon green, which Razer has done a great job hiding this time.
The inside of the headband and earcups is covered in soft leatherette, while the part of the earcups that rests on your face is made of standard fabric. The earcups themselves use a light memory foam that compresses easily, which means they’ll stay perfectly on your head.
The company designed metal forks with an open wire. Metal forks don’t feel that strong; Also I gave them a little flex for examination, and they could maybe be bent, like a good coat hanger. Also I feel like if this headset is packed for travel it will fold. And there’s no rocker in it either, so the exposed wire seems like it could get caught on something and get torn. If we talk about wire the 4.2-footcable is wrapped in some kind of soft plastic like material, not the braided version you’ll get on the blackshark v2. The included mic splitter extension cable is made from the same material, and there is no USB sound card with this model.
Due to the simple nature of the BlackShark V2 X this is a very light headset in reality. With a weight of 0.53 pound, you won’t even feel it once it’s on your head. There is a slight pressure sensation in the back of the ears as there is no swivel on the earcups but otherwise, the BlackShark V2 X is extremely comfortable to wear. This is one headset that you can almost forget that you are wearing it, that is if the mic isn’t hanging in your peripheral vision.
Razer V2 X Headset “Software And Features”
The Blackshark v2 x doesn’t come with a USB sound card like its bigger brother. The Blackshark V2 x’s virtual 7.1 surround sound is much simpler, allowing you to set your output sound device and start and stop surround sound.
For the most potential premium feature, you can upgrade to THX Spatial audio for an additional $20. It doesn’t seem like Razer has built the Blackshark v2 x with software in mind. You can benefit from the great software options, but it’s also a great way to go from device to device, without thinking too much about it.
Razer’s Blackshark V2 X is an excellent way to try out successful new drivers from a prestigious gaming brand, along with virtual 7.1 surround, without spending too much. In this case, the 7.1 was great to focus on for gaming and helpful too. It also fits well and is comfortable from all sides.
The main problem is that the design itself doesn’t seem like it will last long, especially when compared to Razer’s own Kraken X. The latter headset has a very standardized design without the metal fork and open wiring on the Blackshark V2 X. It also delivers 7.1 surround sound.
The BlackShark V2 X features Razer’s impressive Triforce 50mm drivers, which offer great performance across a variety of games and block out anything that can distract focus – and all of that, at a well-priced price.
Razer V2 X Headset “Microphones”
The microphone on the blackshark V2 X is Razer’s HyperClearCardioid. Its cardioid nature means it tries its best to pick up only the sound in front of the mic. With a pop filter, it’s tough to say where the front part is, but overall we found that the mic captured my bottom sound perfectly.
The mic’s active noise cancelling device was successful. Not only could I not hear the evening news on the television near the mic, but it also couldn’t hear my keyboard typing or the relatively fast music coming from the headset. All in all, the blackshark v2 X is a great workhorse for discord sessions or zoom calls.
It often happens that while recording a podcast, I mute myself on the headset. With the blackshark v2 X, when I press the mute button, a small sound comes in my audio, no matter how lightly I press the button. This was annoying because the way I use the headset is special. And however, there is no difficulty in controlling the volume. And sometimes, when fiddling with the dial, the internal vibrations get captured.
Razer V2 X Headset “Audio Performance”
Razer is touting its new Triforce 50mm drivers, which are designed to work like three different audio drivers in a single unit. The idea is that travel, mid and bass need more separation of sound, which will result in clearer audio.
The Blackshark V 2X comes with a single 3.5mm plug, which means you can use it with most time-advanced devices other than your gaming PC, including PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and mobile phones. Virtual 7.1 surround sound is limited to Windows 10 (64-bit). To use the Razer Synapse software or 7.1 surround sound you will need a USB connection anyway, which doesn’t come in the box.
The 7.1 surround sound feature is a great download. This is activated via code that comes with the headset. However, the Razer Synapse software did not recognize the BlackShark V2 X as one of its headsets. This prevented me from using the Razer mixer to balance the headset’s profile sound.
premium thx Spatial audio For a much better BlackShark V2 surround sound experience you can also add this to BlackShark V2 X for approximately $19.99 (lots of more information in the features and software section). For review focus, the standard 7.1 surround sound allows you to simply turn surround on and off, and also gives you full thx Spatial audio with a calibration sound tool, EQ customization and more per-software profiles.
The memory and leatherette foam earcups are designed with passive noise cancellation that envelops your ears for great sound isolation. If you need to hear sound from the outside of your PC, you probably don’t need to use the Blackshark V2X; however, one thing to keep in mind is sound leakage in reverse. People sitting in the same room will probably hear different beats and other similar things than your gaming. But if you want to keep a distance from this world then this headset will come in handy for you.
