RAZER Blackshark V2 Pro Review

Your competitive eSports games won’t be the same when you try the new RAZER Blackshark V2 Pro

It’s getting harder and harder to make it to the top of competitive gaming. As Having a slight advantage over your rivals can be the difference between victory and defeat. Whether it’s through a controller suited for online gaming, a monitor up to the task, or headphones focused on eSports, any help is welcome to stand out from the rest. RAZER is an expert in getting the most out of every situation, and that is why they have launched new headphones on the market so as not to lose sound details on the battlefield. It’s about RAZER Blackshark V2 Proa new version which is released on consoles redesigned and optimized for completely professional pleasure.

Many of you are surely familiar with the shape of the headsets, and we have already seen them several times in professional eSports games in their PC version. The RAZER Blackshark V2 Pro combines quality and reliability, and that is why the company decided to take the next step and launch a specific version for Xbox and PlayStation. Whether it’s to enjoy surround sound or to communicate clearly with your teammates, you will surely get the most out of this new accessory for the players.

Like being in a cloud

The first thing that caught my attention about the RAZER Blackshark V2 Pro is its weight and design. They are very light headsets, ideal for supporting long gaming sessions without straining our heads. It does not contain viscoelastic rubber anywhere, and the upper part as well as the pads themselves are covered with a soft and ergonomic cushion.

Quality is seen in the small details, with A reinforced top seam ensures years and years of use before they break. What didn’t really convince me was the system to enlarge or reduce the headband, with two wires on the side which go up or down depending on the size of our head. A fairly austere regulation compared to the intrinsic characteristics of the headphones which we will detail below.

Inbound and outbound quality

If we get into the guts of the headsets themselves, we’ll see that Razer continues to be the standard bearer when it comes to technology. RAZER Blackshark V2 Pro features a HyperClear Super Wideband microphone, which gives us a clear and crisp voice so that our words are not lost in online games.

A similar thing happens with the sound we receive. We will obtain a wide frequency range and rich in nuances thanks to the 50 mm TriForce Titanium drivers patented and implemented in these helmets. Additionally, everything is complemented by different sound profiles specific for Call of Duty, Apex Legends and Fortnite. This is surely how we get the most out of these acclaimed games. And even though in its standard profile it already sounds good, it’s great to have these little differentiations.

Out of tune elements

Beyond the features of the headset (which the company never fails on), there are elements that end up not working well. To begin with, these RAZER Blackshark V2 Pro have the RAZER Hyper Speed ​​​​Wireless adapter that connects to the console to receive sound. In principle, this addition allows faster sound transmission, but I do not consider it very functional. And although there is the possibility of using Bluetooth or 2.4 GHz connection, on Xbox you must use this accessory, This aspect can be somewhat tedious for some users. These aren’t the only headsets that make this game, but it still seems painful to me.

Another feature that didn’t convince me is the only wheel that the helmet has. With this wheel we will control both the general volume and the volume of the voice chat itself. It’s nice that the controls are simplified and there are fewer buttons and dials, but At first, it’s confusing to control your gaming group’s voice chat. You have to press a button for two seconds to access the group voice function, then wait a while for the RAZER Blackshark V2 Pro to become functional again for general gaming audio. Although the search for specific sound profiles is solved quickly, here we have to spend more time on it than expected. And that, depending on the frenetic situations of your games, can be a problem.

Victory is in the nuances

Beyond these details, if you like headsets for your games (competitive or not), rest assured: You are faced with superior quality to the rest. Not only is this improvement perceptible in its external part, but above all: in the sound characteristics that make up the headset. Whether in this white edition or in its black version, you will surely spend long gaming sessions listening to each approaching ball. Ready for victory? You can get the RAZER Blackshark V2 Pro in specialty stores for a price RRP $219.99. For more information, do not hesitate to visit the Razer official website.

RAZER Blackshark V2 Pro Conclusion

Razer continues to meet user needs with accessories that significantly enhance your gaming. In this case we are looking for very versatile headsets that will be particularly useful to users involved in the field of eSports or competitive online gaming. Thanks to its HyperClear Super Wideband microphone and sound speakers, we will hear everything that happens on the battlefield in a clean and crystal clear way. In addition, it has several pre-made profiles for the most popular games, and we will surely take advantage of them.

Perhaps the worst thing about the RAZER Blackshark V2 Pro is this connectivity to the console via a specific adapter. It has Bluetooth, but for other devices such as computers or cell phones. If we get used to this connection, we will receive in return very detailed frequencies that the most demanding users will appreciate.
