Razer - BlackShark V2 Pro (2023)

I've had mine for about 3 months now, I bought a new strap because the stock one was giving me a headache. I still have issue with them feeling like they are clamping too hard on my head and glasses tho. I have one of the really flexible meshy plastic comfort straps and have one side set to the middle, one side set to the top any looser and it feels like its gonna fall off my head, any tighter and it feels like a vice clamp. That's literally my only complaint. The sound is phenomenal. No issue with speakers, hardware/software or anything buggy on that. If they didn't weigh so much they'd be perfect. But I put on my old Razr Blackshark V2 pros, adjusted the equalizer and in comparison it sounds like actual crap. If I could get this comfort thing under control they'd be absolutely perfect. Sometimes I wish I could exchange them for something lighter but then I want the same kind of sound too. So I guess I'll put up with it until I find a solution.

I’ve had the blackshark v2 pro for like 3 years now (it replaced my wireless arctic pro 7, which had a worse mic imo) and love it. Like a lot of ppl here I use a separate mic for my voice BUT the mic is surprisingly good for a wireless headset. I had no idea it was that good either until a friend asked me about the quality and it dawned on me I never used it. He said (let me preface this by saying most of our friends use high quality desktop arm mics) it sounds like a cheaper desktop mic (not a bad thing at all!), but better than what we would normally expect from a headset mic. Comfort wise it also has great breathable cushions, I hated the ski goggle strap that my arctis came with. I generally get fatigued wearing any headset, between it squeezing my fatass head and the weight, can get uncomfortable, so I’m in the process of getting gaming earbuds (arctic gamebuds)

Bit of a necro but just wanted to throw in my experience from this evening. Had a pair of Razer BlackShark V2 Pro's for about 9 months, I can't fault the audio or microphone in anyway (I am not a huge audiophile mind you). What I will say is that the plastic bracket that connects the actual earphones to the headband exploded on me this evening as I took them off. They are well looked after, always on a stand - never laid flat, never wrenched off my head. Bit surprised by it - but I do have quite a large head, so maybe that was a contributing factor. This could be a one off but just letting people know in case they are looking for something long term.

I had a blackshark and loved it until the hinges disintegrated on me. I currently have the steelseries and it's... Okay? Noise canceling is useless on it. Software is ass. Other than that it's pretty good. The hot swappable batteries is neat. If I could go back I'd probably get the Audeze Maxwell. However they're heavy and a little unwieldy (I tried my friends on).

I get the worst fuzzy noise with my black shark too

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.

I have a blackshark v2 pro and honestly i love it for music, but i am a bass freak, if u don't prefer bass>everything else, then i cannot reccomend blackshark v2 pro. Comfy: 8/10 Wireless distance: 1/10 Battery life: 1/10 Audio quality: 6/10 I have hyperx cloud wireless aswell and i mean, for the right price its a nice backup headset, its not that comfy tho and the sound is at very best meh. Comfy: 5/10 Wireless distance: 8/10 Battery life:10/10 Audio Quality: 4/10 I've not tried ARctis nova pro, but i had the predecessor and if thats anything to go by then it will have great battery life but everything else pretty avg. Never been a fan of Logitech headsets but thats a personal foul i guess. My current everyday headset is Audeze Maxwell followed by HyperX cloud wireless as a backup with blackshark for occasional music listening. It all depends on what you are looking for in a headset tbh, if sound quality & wireless is what you truely want, then there is nothing that beats the Maxwell, it has best sound you can get in any wireless headset/phones, but ofcourse that comes at a higher than avg price for a pair of "gaming headset". Comfy: 10/10 (with third party addons, stock is 1/10 Battery life: 9/10 Wireless distance: 9/10 Audio quality: 9/10 (Personal preference would be more bass) If you do decide to lookup the Maxwell, you NEED to buy third party ear cussions & headband because....yikes. Personal reccomendation would be WC freeze & "ZMF pilot pad headband".

I’ve tried all three and landed on the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro as my go‑to.

I think you are right. I had this same issue with a BlackShark V2 Pro. It would disconnect constantly when the dongle was in the back. As soon as I moved the dongle to one of the front ports, I never had that issue again.

I’ve had it for a year or two. I honestly think they’re good. Good quality audio. Good mic as far as I know. Comes with different presets of different modes. You can make a custom sound too through the app. I’ve liked it way more than the Steel series because it has way better bass. Steel series is a little more comfortable for sure but the V2 Pro is very comfortable too.
