Razer BlackShark V2 Pro Wireless Gaming Headset for PC, PS5, PS4, Switch, 2.4GHz RF, Bluetooth, Headphone HyperClear Super Wideband Mic, Noise-isolating Earcups, 70hr Battery Life - Black (Renewed)

I wanted a pair of wireless gaming headphones for work and some casual gaming. My criteria were: - Good microphone - Bluetooth and 2.4GHz so I can switch between my computer and phone - Fabric earcups (I run hot) - Good sound quality I work from home, so I don't need active noise canceling. These headphones fit the bill 100%. I was concerned that because they were refurbished, they might the 2020 version, but these are indeed the 2023 version. I'm not an audiophile, but to my ears, they sound really good. They don't have the same wide soundstage as my open ear wired headphones, but I'm OK with the tradeoff. Music is clear and crisp, great separation, though there's a little distortion at the upper volumes. I can't tolerate that amount of loudness so it's not an issue. The microphone is amazingly clear, such that a coworker commented on it during a call. It's not podcast quality, but it's leaps and bounds better than the compressed tin can sound that most gaming mics deliver. Last big plusses are: Great range. I can walk around the house and a bit in the yard without dropouts. Maybe 40 feet or so with walls? Really impressive. And the battery life is great. I haven't come close to running out of juice. I just plug it in for a bit every few days. I also like how there's preset EQ on the cans. I can adjust levels while I'm on my Mac. On the minus side, the simultaneous Bluetooth and 2.4GHz isn't as smooth as I'd hoped. If I'm listening to music on my phone and I get an audio notification on my computer, the music pauses and I have to restart it manually. I was hoping they'd be more…simultaneous. And the clamping force is a little higher than my wired headphones. I have a big ol' melon of a head, so that's more a problem of genetics than the headphones. I can still wear them all day if I adjust them just right… Great deal compared to the retail price! I was surprised how good the condition was. They might as well have been brand new. I'm very satisfied on all levels!

Got for my fiancé, he uses them almost every day, and no issues. They’re great and just what he wanted. He uses them for PlayStation 5 gaming. Can use on the charger but they seem to only get low on battery every few days. He seems to be able to hear the game and his friends very well. No complaints. Definitely worth the money for him to be happy, in my opinion.

Playback quality is decent. I’m not a huge fan of virtual surround so I play most games in stereo, but the THX virtual effect is streets ahead of, say, Windows Sonic. Music sounds okay. Playback quality = 3/5 Comfort is a mixed bag. It’s fine for relatively short durations, but after 1.5 hours or so, it feels a bit too snug on the ears and I seem to be frequently adjusting it. Comfort = 3/5. Microphone and battery life are the standouts on this headset I think. Even compared to more expensive/premium headsets, this mic reviews better. It’s nice that’s it’s modular, too. When testing in Discord my voice sounds loud, clear, and background noise is filtered well even without any enhancements. I can usually get away with charging it only 1 - 2x a month, too (I try to keep it between 20% - 80%). Mic = 5/5. Battery = 5/5 Razer Synapse is a PITA but has improved in the last year or so. It’s not needed but does improve functionality and gives battery level readings. Software = 3.5/5 All in all, a really good value headset and hard to beat at this price. The Barracuda might be better but not by much. I highly recommend this to anyone not wanting to break the bank.

I owned a $20 Chinese headset that lasted about 2 years before a the part that held the earpiece onto the band cracked. So I thought I would get these as a nice upgrade. After 3 weeks, the plastic broke in the exact same place as my last headset. Now, it broke on the other side too. The sound quality was nice while it lasted, but these are incredibly cheaply made pieces of garbage. I should have known better than to buy from a gaming gear company that dumps all their money into marketing

We have these for our high school esports team and players love them. Great quality, comfortable to wear and adjustable so fit most heads. Solid microphone, especially when used with Razer software but work fine without it. Only ‘gimmick’ that our other headphones we use have that these don’t that I wish they did is a muted light on the boom. More than once a kid has hit the mute button when turning on or off and unable to figure out why it’s not working. USB c so even if you misplace the cord, which is long enough to go from a ground set pc to a player with no issues, you can find another to charge them. These have basically become the best team defaults for our league.
