Razer - BlackShark V2 Pro (2023)

Could you comment about the sidetone loudness? The V2 Pro from 2023 has sidetone, but it's really not that loud in the mix, and it results in talking much more loudly than required. This is my only issue with the headset. The V3 Pro having ANC makes me think that the ambient feature and sidetone are likely better. UPDATE: I bought a set at Best Buy to try it out. It's worse than the V2 Pro; like twice as bad. The sidetone seems to have more volume but holy shit the bass in the sidetone pretty much makes it non-existent. I don't see how Razer goes from bad to worse with this. Both of these headsets are nearly perfect headsets if the sidetone was clear and boosted a bit more. Back to the store it goes.

Although taking good care of my V2 Pro 2023 model, the headband clamp has snapped and the product is unusable. I raised a ticket with Razer and they wrote back that my country is unsupported. If so they why do they export to these unsupported countries and why do they have resellers listed on their website?!!

I found a replacement “stronger” bracket on Etsy. Seems like a widespread problem if people are selling custom solutions.

I used it for couple of hours gaming and a few hours of WFH calls every week. They stayed indoor on a headset stand. Very gently used. Almost look brand new except for the broken band now.

I spent more on gen 2 specifically for the better mic.

Idk what yall do to headsets. I used my 2023 version until the 2025 came out. No issues at all. Now use the 2023 for work…

Ive had some trash luck with headsets. But here we go: Corsair HS80 has been my favorite so far. Good sound, loud, decent surround with dolby atmos. Floating headband not for everyone but I find it comfy. Razer Kraken v3 pro, the hypersense is fun, but the battery life is pitiful and my synapse would never recognize it. Razer Blackshark 2023 pro. Comfy, ok sound, not loud enough for me. Steelseries Arctis 5. Sonar can step on a pile of D4s and legos. Headset sounds good, software just too annoying for my liking. Would constantly change my non headset sound settings. Turtle Beach Atlas Air. A rare open back wireless headset. Sounds great, also software issues. If I went to change the volume it'd go from 0 to 100 or 100 to 0. couldn't get that to change. Would do it if I set it in windows or on the headset. If they'd all work perfect, The turtle beach sounded best to me. HS80 is a close second. Decent mic on it, would recommend a desktop mic if you're worried about that though.

Razer Blackshark V2 Pro (2023), audio and mic quality, no complaints. Have 3 sets of them and all been flawless. Razer software is questionable, so generally don't have it running.

Hi i also play alot of fps like CS2 and PUBG. I have been using Sennheiser HD560s what i was really happy with but i really wanna test out some wireless headset instead of wired. So i tested: Turtle Beach Atlas Air. Most comfy wireless headset i have tried! But I had a problem with software and the gunshot were to loud so i returned them. Razer Blackshark V2 Pro (2023) Was more happy with but razer downgraded eq in the software and the older version of the blackshark you could eq little higher or lower hz. Also the best mic i have tested for wireless headset! So i feeled little scammed so i returned them. Asus Rog Pelta I was more happy with than Razer Blackshark V2 Pro and Turtle Beach. And they're very comfy but i struggled a bit to hear where enemy came from. Good mic BTW i returned them aswell don't really know why. Hyperx Cloud 3 Wireless the second most comfortable headset. Incredibly good battery life! The mic is good to be wireless headset. I have tried a lot of eq with Apo + Peace but didn't manage to get what i want because im a little to new when it comes to eq. But there is a lot good there.The software of the headset is not so good i heard you have to open the software sometimes to get headset eq idk. But i was thinking returning them because i was to used with open back Sennheiser HD560S. I have it a try for some days stock out of the box without eq and good more and more happy with the headset over time where i could hear where enemy came from. So i think u have to get used and eventually you get used to it. I think the headsett is worth it especially if u get discount. I bought mine for 174$ but saw discount afterwards i bought headset so i got refund and payed instead 97$. So im happy with it :) Sorry for bad english norwegian here :P

Tbh I’m searching for another set just for fun. I can’t seem to find anything better then my Razor Blackshark Pro 2023. The mic is litaraly a condenser mic like Quadcast quality. Built inside the headset is basically and DAC. Once you tune them they sound amazing (Takes some work) Build like a tank Battery life is out of this world (Days without charging) Downside is Synapse. Then again Synapse 3 is good and with 4 it’s slowly becoming better.

Well I have that exact model. We’ll see what happens

I have the wireless V2 Pros(2023), and I can walk across my house, and even a little outside without them having any issue. I’d imagine the V3 is similar or better.

Razer BlackShark V2 Pro (2023) White. Wireless with great batterylife + the mic is one of the best
