Razer - BlackShark V2 X

Go for the [RAZER BlackShark V2 X Wired ](https://elitehubs.com/products/razer-blackshark-v2-x-green) its one of the best in its price range.

Yeah, the Razer V2X kinda sucks in terms of software (no EQ settings at all), and the cable wrap starts peeling pretty quick.

Oh boy, I am going to get downvoted to **hell** for this, but... • [Razer BlackShark V2 X](https://a.co/d/3iVvLHa) Was recommended to be from a friend's brother that claimed to have played in PSL for R6. They recommended them to me, because I played R6, Hunt: Showdown, and a few other games that required good Audio Cue reactions with those friends. I've enjoyed them for the better part of the last 5 years. Excellent bass, the Dolby Sound Card, and 7.1 Channel Audio would be the selling points for these. As they have aged, I have noticed that there is "scratching" or "static" that occurs while you are turning the Volume Knob, but only **while** turning; the other thing is that one of the Ear Cup Pads is coming off, but it's been "coming off" for like a year and hasn't been an issue so, ymmv but for the price I'm not upset. Some people have told me, regarding my own headset, that it's too tight and is uncomfortable to use for more than one or two songs. I really enjoy this amount of pressure I guess, I'm willing to put this information out there and admit I might be the odd one out. At least you know up front. I will run it for 4+ hours at a time and my only complaint, personally, is that they can get pretty sweaty after a long session. $38 isn't a bad price, most Storefronts will have them priced at $50-$60 brand new. I just grabbed the first Amazon Link though, I'm sure you could shop around and find a better deal if you tried. Alternatively, if you're willing to spend a bit more coin, you could opt for a pair of [Philips SHP9500](https://a.co/d/gLDAGqa) open-back headphones. The sound profile is significantly better for your average audiophile, but in order to achieve certain clarity you do give up some of the Bass *thump*-iness; hence the open-back design. And these, I doubt will get me in trouble with the informed buyers of r/BIFL and the folks over at r/audiophile.

Razer BlackShark V2 X normally 80$ has been on sale down to 50-60$cad I'd recommend this headset because I've been using it since 2023 and its still working. I've tried at least 10 different headsets from the 40-60$ cad range and nearly all of them broke within 6 months of daily use. The only exception would be some random brand named Bengoo GH1 from 2020, that cheap headset which looked like it was going to last 3 months survived almost 2 years.

For music: Cosmic Byte GS430 headphone. Perfect tuning I have ever seen. Plays all types of music really well (Rock, Electronic, etc) For esports gaming: Razer Blackshark V2 X, Left and right footsteps are clear to hear

Razer blacksbark V2X good mic and sound

Razer Blackshark V2 for $27 on AliExpress and EQ. There's not much of proper headphones below $100. Used HD 280 Pro, SuperLux HD668b (bad for gaming).

Best headphones ever. Super light , can wear them for hours on a long haul and not feel uncomfortable.

Or cheaper: Razer BlackShark V2 X

Razer blacksharks are really good and comfortable for me, super deep big cushions. I have the v2 x model and they’re pretty good for the price. Some iems (in ear headphones) would probably work even better tho https://preview.redd.it/zpgl936m411g1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0265c43ebf14eba5bff9f3c437b9d5dc73168a0b
