Razer Blackshark V2 Pro (2023) Review

The Razer Blackshark V2 ($99.99) has been one of our favorite wired gaming headsets for a few years, but the wireless version, the Blackshark V2 Pro (2020 model, $179.99), didn't appeal as much in part because of its much higher price. The newest iteration of the Blackshark V2 Pro costs even more at $199.99, but it adds Bluetooth connectivity, triples the battery life, and benefits from a more refined and detailed sound signature. It's much better all-around than its predecessor and earns our Editors' Choice award for midrange wireless gaming headsets.Light and Comfortable This headset is physically identical to the previous version, but it's now available in black or white. It's quite light at 11.3 ounces and its earpads use a soft memory foam material with breathable cloth covers. The underside of the headband also features ample padding, while the top sports a faux leather cover. This is all to say you shouldn't experience any comfort issues over long gaming sessions. ...

Although it's pricier than its wired sibling, the Razer Blackshark V2 Pro headset impresses with a comfortable build, spacious sound, great battery life, and reliable Bluetooth connectivity.

Razer BlackShark V2 Pro headset review: White and light

The BlackShark V2 Pro is a great wireless headset - one that goes about its business pretty quietly and doesn't shout about itself, but which excels in all the ways that really matter. One hesitation in giving it a total clean bill of health comes where its price is concerned, with a $200 tag that would be so much easier to go for at $150, but sales and discounts will likely take care of that in time.

Easy to adjust; Great microphone; Very good sound;

Slightly hot on the ears; Could feel lighter;
