Score: 78/100Rankings
The Razer BlackShark V2 X is a wired esports headset with 50 mm TriForce drivers, a detachable cardioid microphone, and 7.1 surround sound on Windows.

Professional reviewers commend the BlackShark V2 for its comfortable fit, high-fidelity drivers, and clear microphone, making it a strong choice for competitive esports.

Everyday users consistently praise the headphones for their long-lasting battery, comfortable memory-protein ear cushions, and strong bass that can be tuned via multiple EQ presets. Common complaints revolve around occasional Bluetooth drop-outs, a cheap-looking plastic build, a microphone that can sound muffled in noisy settings, and the fact that real-world battery life sometimes falls short of the advertised maximum.
