If you want one Razer headset that nails comfort, sound for games + music, a real step up in mic quality, and easy PS5 use, get the [Razer BlackShark V2 Pro](https://www.amazon.com/Razer-BlackShark-Wireless-Gaming-Headset/dp/B0BY1FXC9N?crid=1AWF5LV314883&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Ngp1bFdpSqlHbsZj2dW-KFh7tHg3DtQPha3YWuClRHPC9Y01KQPaA5nqhoj5AOa_U-T0Ouls1pszBw5bsMx7ytRw4zoiQvxuHUrcJpPI--4MW79gwOa36oN3YKDoZ-UTCeKpcXkcnHHaNw1w-iHC1CUELtSrIsrjTDTb1gGkynJsI-mKDHgebrmNCPSfO1Ni9DEh9qBIwpLBc_vG0CY5hBXrWptsfyY16Nf8yvTH4sE.5zoXg3HJeOfPwaW24w_pna3E2Q5J0iZ9LnAoqimqzbU&dib_tag=se&keywords=Razer%2BBlackShark%2BV2%2BPro&qid=1761872070&sprefix=razer%2Bblackshark%2Bv2%2Bpro%2Caps%2C193&sr=8-3&th=1&linkCode=ll1&tag=drxth-20&linkId=8210c82a12fd50fc46d5d84e01ab480e&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl) (2023). It’s light and plush enough to wear for hours like your old Nari, uses memory-foam earcups that won’t crush glasses, gives a much clearer detachable mic, supports wireless + wired modes, and delivers spacious, punchy audio that makes both cinematic games and music sound lively, all without the bulk or the mediocre mic that broke your heart about the Nari.
The Razer BlackShark V2 Pro Wireless has been super comfy for long sessions and the mic is way better than expected. anyone else on PC + console using it?
I've used my Razer blackshark V2 pros for the past 3 years and they've held up great, sound great, and have had friends say the mic sounds great too. They are into the V3 now and I've seen complaints about quality in general from Razer but all my peripherals are from them and I've never had an issue. Not sure if it's realistic or just a case of the Internet being biased towards failures
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…
I use black shark v2 pro. No issues
razer headsets are comfortable and durable sound quality is shit though. i have used my black shark v2 pro 14 hours a day 7 days a week for about 6 years now throwing it on my desk regularly and its basically perfect still without issues only replacing it because i hate the sound. i have replaced the earpad/cushion just 1 time.
