Razer BlackShark V2 X Gaming Headset: 7.1 Surround Sound – 50mm Drivers – Memory Foam Cushion – for PC, Mac, PS4, PS5, Switch – 3.5mm Audio Jack – White

The Razer BlackShark V2 X Gaming Headset is what I was presented with when I googled “Durable Gaming Headset” while shopping for a headset for my 11-year-old son who goes through xbox controllers and gaming headsets like #00 buckshot through a goose. Sure there are less expensive headsets, but this one is well built and for its price it is shockingly feature-rich.

I can’t yet speak to the durability; but, out-of-the box, this headset is so nice that I had to have one myself. The sound quality is even better than my $200 Sennheiser headphones and the mic is exceptionally clear (I play in parties with my son) and the flexible mic boom is much more durable than the rigid plastic ones. These headsets are comfortable and the volume knob and mute button are handy and effective. The noise-cancelling is, again, better than that of my Sennheisers.

My only gripe is a minor one and that is that these headphones don’t fold up for storage, which is not a big deal for a dedicated gaming headset, but might be good to know before you purchase them.

Los auriculares para empezar son muy suaves y q son de buena calidad, tienen una cancelacion de ruido increible q parece que te deja sordo y tambien un sonido muy bueno (depende del volumen xd)

When I initially purchased the headset it was having some issues. My main issue was that when I was on discord, people could hear themselves through my mic. I tried everything possible to fix my issue and NOTHING worked. The only thing I could do is turn everyone and everything down so far I could barely hear anything. I almost gave up. I ended up trying to plug them into the BACK of my computer… and what do you know? The echo is gone and my headset works perfectly! I can now play loud music in the background right next to me and my mic doesn’t pick it up. People I call with, no longer hear an echo no matter how loud I turn them up. I can even put up a booster for my mic and STILL no echo. Genuinely a good product. 10/10. On another note I didn’t even have to pay for any other program. Razer sends a little code that you can scan use to set up a free 7.1 surround sound with the headphones if you want. There isn’t much IN the program but I personally don’t use it much so I don’t have an issue. It does what it’s intended to do which is give me the ability to hear and speak to people and games. Now there is a special sound thing you can purchase called THX Spatial Audio. It is $20 but it gives you a code for 50% off so you only really pay $10 which isn’t bad. Now I don’t know if everyone gets the code or if it’s limited, or if you have to have had the 7.1 surround sound prior for a while or not. I just saw the add for it, clicked on it and it gave me a code to use. I tested the program out before buying it because it gives you an option to trial run it for 15 days and honestly it’s pretty cool. You can customize the sounds and what not and the different frequencies and adjust a whole bunch of things I won’t go into too much detail. The headset is also pretty comfortable and fits my head nicely. People who have bigger heads it might be a little small so you have to move the ear pieces themselves on the metal bars down turns out. Overall, I personally very much liked the headset. 5 stars.

I had the Razer Kraken Wired gaming headset prior and love love loved that one. It lasted 4 years of numerous foster kitties chewing at it. Several drops, 4 moves, through gaming sessions and through school. This one sounds nearly the same in quality, but the shape is much better. I love how I can wear my glasses with these and enjoy being able to wear my hair up and have my side bangs minimally effected by my headsets. The mic is okay, friends said I sounded a bit quieter using this one. The color is cute. I however did have a few small qualms one the fact you have to pay for a software to customize settings is disappointing and secondly when plugged into the front of my PC I’d hear a weird hum. This was fixed by plugging it into the back, which let to me having to use the additional cord. If that’s not an issue these are a great headset for the price.
