Technical benefits: what it actually gives you

Drivers split into three zones

The TriForce design divides the driver into three parts so bass, mids and treble can be tuned separately instead of leaving one diaphragm to do everything. The competitive advantage sits in the treble: footsteps and reload sounds live in high frequencies that a conventional driver tends to blend into the rumble of explosions.

Super wideband mic: understood the first time

Classic headset microphones transmit in narrowband, which is why voices sound like an old telephone. Covering a wider frequency range preserves the consonants, and a call like 'two pushing B short' lands without repeating it. In a tactical shooter, information leaves your mouth as often as it enters your ears.

70 hours: charge it once a month

It's the longest quoted battery life of the three headsets alongside the HyperX. In practice it means you stop thinking about the battery, and that is exactly the goal of a competitive peripheral: not to occupy your head during the round.

How it performs by game type

Tactical shooters

Valorant · CS2
10/10

This is what it was designed for. FPS profiles reachable from the headset itself, emphasised treble for footsteps, and a microphone that makes calls land first time. For tactical shooters it's one of the most recommendable options under $150.

Mechanical speed and precision

Rocket League
8/10

More than enough and very comfortable for long sessions, but the treble emphasis that suits a tactical shooter so well leaves Rocket League's ambience a little less enveloping. Comfort rules here, and it delivers.

High click-rate PvP

Minecraft
8/10

The passive isolation of the closed cups and the treble detail help you hear a player closing in behind you. Nothing game-specific, but it works.

Mixed competitive play

Roblox
8/10

A good pick on price and battery if you mostly use voice chat and casual shooters. The absence of a 3.5 mm jack on this reference limits it on consoles and on machines where you can't use the dongle.

Pros, cons and who it's for

Strengths

  • FPS audio profiles adjustable from the headset itself
  • Detachable super wideband mic, one of the best in its class

Weaknesses

  • The Amazon listing states this reference has no 3.5 mm jack
  • Some reviews question long-term durability

  • 10 m of range, against the Logitech's 30 m

Ideal for: The tactical shooter player who wants the best positional audio and microphone for the money and mainly plays on PC.

Review summary

3.8 (2,026)

Positive reviews highlight the comfort, the battery and the microphone, with several buyers saying they've tried many alternatives and settled on this one. Negative ones concentrate on long-term durability: there are cases of failures after roughly a year of heavy use. Worth registering the two-year warranty.

Fixes pretty much fixed all my problems with the original BlackShark V2 Pro

EDIT: I should note in the section where I mention my headset being on the latest firmware it came out of the box that way when I attempted to update the USB receiver and headset they were already on the latest firmware so perhaps the headset previously had issues and Razer fixed them with firmware and started shipping the headset that way. TL;DR Pros: Excellent package experience. USBC. Bluetooth. Custom audio/mic EQs on the headset itself. 70 hour battery life. The best sounding mic I’ve ever used on a gaming headset period. Cons: Still have to use Razer Synapse for tuning and firmware updates and can’t be done via mobile or Mac. No 3.5mm connection. No Xbox compatibility (though I still b

Disappointing longevity

I've been using this as my main headset for over a year. Pros: Incredible battery life: I often forget this is wireless and once every week and a half or so I'll hear the little chime that says it's dying and I plug it in when I go to sleep, wake up with a 100% battery for another1-2 weeks. Comfort: I'd put this under pros, even if it didn't wow me, it isn't actually painful like a lot of over ear headsets can be. It wouldn't win any awards though. Cons: The mic which is the ONLY reason I bought this particular wireless headset is absolutely terrible. Not the sound quality, the sound quality was top notch like everyone said, but the reach, the craftsmanship, just could not be worse. It has t

Unmatched Quality

I have tried everything. Zone vibe 100, JBL nightfall, steelseries Arctis nova 5p, a Corsair headset I can't remember the name to, etc. None of them (NONE OF THEM) are on the level this headset is. The mic has no business being this good. Near broadcast quality. I use it all day for work and never have battery problems. Someone asked if I was ai recentyl--its that clear--and I work in a noisey call center The noise canceling through the software is superb and completely eliminates the need for things like krisp, but you'll need to understand how to use a computer. Not because the companion app is lacking (it is very user friendly) but because of other reasons I won't detail here as they are

Great Comfortable Headphones

I've had these for a little over two months now and they are working amazing and feeling great! For reference, I am a small person who wears glasses and has a sensitivity to loud noises, so if you're in a similar boat, then these will work well for you! Pros: * Comfort: These headphones are really light, but sturdy. They don't put too much tight pressure on my ears or head (which helps when wearing glasses) and don't make me sweat either. They stay on my head pretty well too. * Noise Cancelling: The noise cancellation is pretty good, but that is kind of subjective for people. Most dull noises (like fans, cat fountains, air conditioners, outdoor noises, etc.) will be cancelled out by this whe
