Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 вер 2024
- We admit, we’re fans of Razer. But to be honest, we don’t really use their audio products. But when they let us have a go with their new BlackShark V2, wow… this is certainly a step in the right direction.
Without a doubt, this might just be the best gaming headset out there. It looks great, sounds great, feels comfortable, a decent mic, and a plethora of features.
Razer might’ve just nailed it with the new BlackShark v2.

![Razer BlackShark V2 vs V2 X [Review and Comparison]](/img/n.gif)
This review was very helpful, thanks a lot!
Underrated channel, great review man :D
thank you :)
Great review! Question is what Playback device should i choose? The "Razer USB Sound Card" or the "THX Spatial Audio"?
Depends, if you need that extra pinpoint surround sound. Sound card just allows you to customize the headset.
P.S; You can only choose one for some reason.
THANK YOU FOR THIS REVIEW. I can't wait for mine to arrive!!! ✨
Great review
Just purchased mine. Can't wait.
How is it? Are footsteps in multiplayer games clear ?
Logitech g pro 2019 , blackshark v2 or cloud alpha.. which has the best sound for music and gaming?
Thank you for the review!
Thanks buddy. Nice review.
Great review, what editing software do you use?
looks like he had davinci resolve open during the mic test bit, thats probably it!
How to you customize your mic and pull up the options like you did at 6:30
hi! i only have stereo mode, game mode, music mode and movie mode! Dont have competitive or environmental mode! WHY??
hi there, may i ask how to setup the audio on console because this is my first time using RAZER BLACKSHARK V2 product and when i using the Usb sound card put in on console the audio is so low even put the headset volume max..can you give some guide for solve this problem.? and did somebody else here have the same problem got solve it
Are they good for first person shooting games. Are footsteps clear?
If it’s used for esports I wanna guess it is
Awesome vid mate thank you!
Thank you! Do follow us on @Terafied for more content on gaming stuff!
will this cause ears to sweat or generate warmth if worn for 30 mins or more ? I also use the Sony MDR7506 as studio monitors and I cant have them on my ears for more than 10 mins does this razer have the same effect. I really look forward to your answer here as it would really help.
I might have gotten this headset for console gaming. I play sports games and fps games. So it doesn’t matter about all those settings?
Barracuda X or Blackshark v2, in terms of sound quality which one is the best?
Does this work for ps5
Thanks just brought it
R they good, r u still using them and if not, what happened to them?
@@DS-wq8oq they are very good a bit to much bass but beside that i am very happy with them
@@Elkethuss is the microphone good quality?
@@MCBek it is people hear me loue and clear and with the program razer synapse you can add some enhancement to it
@@Elkethuss great because i bought it 1 hour ago so i hope that this will be good headset
So of a game does not support THX, you wont get that surround sound?..
Amazing video
Just got these.. love these:')
When I turn on the THX Audio all my friends in discord sound like they are in a tunnel. How can I disable it only for discord?
I'm assuming it would be the same as the nari ultimate as that also uses THX audio so if you go to the voice and video settings in discord , you can change the audio output to the one which has "(Chat)" which should fix your problem
I turn off thx when I'm in discord
Blackshark v2 or cloud 3 ?
Does it have mic monitoring/side tone? Where you can hear your own voice?
Can I plug this headset straight into my ps4 controller? Without the use of the soundcard
Sure thing!
Thak you man, i had thoughts that my english is bad until i watched this video...
Don't worry too much. It's not that bad.
i know ty@@TECH360TV
How can we customize this headset for console?
You can customize the Razer BlackShark V2 headset for console gaming in several ways: Use THX Spatial as a playback device, configure your headset with Razer Synapse, enable 7.1 surround sound, Pro-Tuned FPS audio profiles and Razer HyperSpeed wireless
If I just plug the headset in without using the USB soundcard, would it automatically install Synapse or any drivers?
I just received a brand new Razor Blackshark V2, and the volume on the
PS4 is pathetically low! I have tried it with both the 3.5mm and the USB
inputs. The headphone volume on the PS4 is at max volume and the volume
knob on the ear is turned all the way up. Even with everything at max
level, it's still not high enough. I'm not hard of hearing, and I don't
listen to everything at super high levels. Hell, even my five year old
no-name stereo headphones sound louder than these do on my PS4. Is this a
bad set of headphones? Is this a bug? Is this the PS4 problem with low
volume on some headphones. Did you have this problem?
You could test this on another device like your phone to make sure that you don't have a bad headset
@@aadilsajidbavakunji1916 already tested it on my pc
I use the astro mix amp with these headphones on the ps4. They sound really good with the amp. They are really low plug into the controller.
Not entirely sure how low is low, or how high is high, but in our use case, it was all right.
It certainly didn't get very loud, but it wasn't that low either. We could do fine with 80% volume on the PS4 and maxed out on the knob on the BlackShark.
I have a pretty good feeling you got a bad pair since most other ppl seem to be fine with theirs, maybe return it and get a new one?
Will this work with mackbook and Xbox series s/x and future Xbox’s to come
After set all the feature in razer synapse... the setting will store in the sound card or in the software? Mean if we connect to another pc is it the setting we set still there or ?
Hello, I'm looking for a new Headset because my Hyperx Cloud Stinger II are getting old and damaged and I'm thinking about getting this one but I have a question: does this work with elgato HD 60 S? If so, how? I just need to plug it to my PC, right? I also would like to know if it removes the background sound?
Why is the microphone not the same every video I heard it?
Wow... that can be loads of factors at play. We recorded ours raw. Only edit was simply an audio boost to match levels.
Can I use this for Nintendo Switch OLED?
Yes I got these today for my switch and it works flawlessly
can you plug this headset with the soundcard straight into xbox one system?
i need accurate footstep sounds for rainbow six is this headset good for that?
the surround sound is pretty accurate!
The black shark has horrible imaging in thx mode can tell whats where
Got the v2 for my xbox and i like em way more than the 700gen 2s i returned
Awesome!
Dude have you used razer blackshark v2 usb on xbox series x? Usb sound card working is it working in xsx? And most importantly, does his microphone echo at xsx?
Bro guess what that’s exactly what I returned today my turtle beach 700 gen 2 cause the clamp force was just to damn much these V2 are so damn comfortable
@@thief2727 no the sound card is only for PC I have this headset and my Xbox series x I tried it and it didn’t work.
Just got it 43% off so I’m watching reviews 😂
can someone help me? my friends tell me that my mic is bad and i dont know what the problem is
How can I make microphone sounds better?
Is this 7.1?
Does this work on ps4 ps5 +??
Everyone gangsta until you see he's using THX with Microsoft Solitaire 😎
I recently got a v2x and have some issues with the Mic as well. Not sure if the issue which you said is the same as mine?
The Mic(with & without splitter) does not work well when directly plugged into the motherboard. Have tried to test it out and it seems like it is not that it totally does not pickup the sound but it is hardly able to pick up the sound and u got to shout loudly(literally at the top of your lung) into the mic but you will still sound very soft & distorted.
I am still trying to troubleshoot it with the help from Razer Support but does not seems to be going anywhere.
Hmmm... Not too sure either, though in your case, you at least got it to work somebwat. Mine simply didn't detect, at all.
All's fine with the USB sound card though, and even with the PS4.
Might be a splitter issue, or just that it doesn't really work with splitters...? Not entirely sure, we're also asking Razer.
@@TECH360TV I have tested with multiple splitters and all are the same and I have tested using the exact same port, setting & splitter while using another headphone and it works without any issue.
For mine initially I thought it could not detect but I up the dB to +30 and cover my mouth with the mic in it and started shouting than I saw the lines from mictest moving and realized that it is actually detecting but almost not able to pickup the sound.
Sadly I bought a v2x so i do not have the USB soundcard but I tested using a friend's HyperX 3.5mm to USB adapter and it works as well.
Great review, but now that the PC38X is out I can't see myself getting one of these.
That’s a great headset by the looks of it, though it is at a different price point. Up to individuality!
is there a way to record both mic and headphone sound without having to buy a splitter for computers that have headphone and mic ports only. newer HeadSet ports are nice as they combined mic and speaker recording but my r12 pc doesn't have headset port. it has two ports, one for headphone and one for mic. i guess the new razer usb sound card with its usb connection can't transfer speaker and mic recording at the same time. anyone know if there is a way ?
Hello. Alpha / Alpha S / mh752 vs blackshark v2 + usb ? which one is better only in the games ?
Black shark
does the wire tangle?
because my razer kraken has a huge problem
So far... not that bad? If you keep it properly, it won’t tangle.
Great video, thanks
Is the V2 HyperSpeed one better?
if you’re looking for a budget-friendly wireless headset with good performance and handy features, the V2 HyperSpeed could be considered “better” depending on your needs and preferences. If the highest build quality and detachable mic are not your priorities, then the V2 HyperSpeed offers a great alternative
@@TECH360TV Detachable mic is not my priority, and actually it sounds better and maybe have better build quality than V2 X
Does the sound quality different without the sound card?(like straight into motherboard)
Hey. Any update on this?
@@marvin_blezza no, but i bought the blackshark v2 x and the sound is bad
@@freenix3036 Cheap out get cheap results.
In the past week or two my blackshark V2 pros started have unusably low volume/sound issues with COD Warzone MW when using THX Spatial Audio. Anyone else have this issue? I reached out to razer and they weren’t helpful at all and very dismissive about the issue. Saying it’s the game but the issue only occurs when using their thx spatial audio sound and it only seems to be an issue with CODs thx spatial audio profile. I haven’t been playing COD since the issue occurred as I can’t have proper surround sound. Pretty garbage.
U can turn it off on razer synapse?
i havent had an issue, i've had mine for almost 3 years now and it's been great, you've probably got a dud
@@bluewol7420 how is the music ?? When you listen to ?? And does this headphone work on PC without splitter ?
@@aspirewot8408 it works on pc without a splitter. Music is decent, good sounding quality and decent amount of bass.
is this removable ear cup?
yeah i think
Nice video! How is the pressure build up on it tho?
This has been the most comfortable Razer headset thus far. We could easily use it for half a dozen hours or more without much fatigue if at all. The lightness and the hybrid foam cushion helps a ton.
Bro TY for a Great indepth video review of each feature of the Blackshark V2, I purchased mine today for $40.00 USD and just after watching your video just realized what the heck i purchased haha, Plus also just bought at same time Klipsch Pro Media Non Bluetooth Edition, Also There is a "UPDATE FOR THX SPATIAL BLACKSHARK V2 SOFTWARE" THX FOR A GREAT VIDEO MORE REVIEWS PLEASE! KEEP IT UP GOT MY VOTE BRO SUBBED HAHA BE SAFE OUT HERE IN THIS FINAL FANTASY NEW WORLD!
How do you charge the headset
Its wired - doesnt need charging
Neon what even if you use the headphone Jack not because I had a turtle beach one and that was wired and you needed to charge that
Your turtle beach was probably a wireless model - they have to be charged to use wirelessly but they usually let you add a jack to the headset
When you use a cable, the power comes directly from what you plugged it into, thus no charging required
Neon my turtle beach was wired
To me not that great , alot of messing about with setting trying to sort out EQ . Wouldn't buy again
0:20
Would this be good for ps4? Please answer. Which out using the sound card
Yeap! It'll work fine for consoles as well. Audio quality remains unchanged, you only lose out the features from Synapse, that's about it.
The volume is low plug into the controller
Jaysin thanks fam
These headphones suck on PS4. Super-low volume even at max level on PS4 and on headphones themselves. I returned mine.
@@Gamebent1 thanks man. I got a different one anyways
Quite a bit
W VIDEO
Sold My Blackshark V2 & AT M40X after listening to Audeze Mobius
AHAH! Those two certainly can’t compete with Audeze!
yeah right. none of this stuff works
v2 sounds sucks on apex.dont buy it.if u are lucky to see this command.
Perhaps just turn off the THX Spatial Audio. That is a hit or miss depending on the person.
@@TECH360TV its about the sound card that v2 provide sucks
@@hk-bd9cy does it sounds better if plug straight into motherboard?
@@freenix3036 its just the same, buy sound card if your motherboard does not provide u good audio.
Lol apex legend itself is a trsh game 🤣
Can anyone tell me if I can update my firmware and/or alter my EQ settings on Razer Synapse with the BlackShark V2 pro wireless?
no
