The Razer BlackShark V2 X is Razer’s lightweight wired esports headset: 240 g, Razer TriForce 50 mm drivers, a HyperClear cardioid microphone and advanced passive noise cancellation, all on a single 3.5 mm plug. Because it is analogue, it works with almost anything that has a headset jack, from a gaming PC to a PS5 or Xbox controller, a Nintendo Switch, a Steam Deck or a phone. This is the black version; Razer’s 7.1 surround sound is a Windows software feature, not something the headset does on its own.

How the Razer BlackShark V2 X Sounds
Razer fits the Razer BlackShark V2 X with its TriForce 50 mm drivers, which split the diaphragm into separate zones so bass, mids and highs are tuned individually. The master guide lists a frequency response of 12 Hz to 28 kHz, an impedance of 32 Ω at 1 kHz and a sensitivity of 100 dB SPL/mW at 1 kHz. In practice, 32 Ω is easy to drive, so a controller jack or laptop output has enough power.
The earcups use memory foam cushions and what Razer calls advanced passive noise cancellation. That means the seal of the cushions blocks outside noise; there is no electronic noise cancelling. With an inner earcup opening of 63 x 43 mm, the cups sit around the ear rather than pressing on it.
HyperClear Cardioid Mic and On-Ear Controls
The HyperClear microphone uses a cardioid (unidirectional) pattern, which picks up sound mainly from the front and rejects more of the room behind it. Razer lists 100 Hz to 10 kHz frequency response, a signal-to-noise ratio of at least 60 dB and a sensitivity of −42 dBV/Pa at 1 kHz, and its product page advises placing the mic about 1 inch from your mouth.
The mic is flexible for positioning but it is not detachable. On the earcup you get a volume dial and a mic mute button, so you can adjust both without reaching for the console or the Windows mixer. For PCs with separate microphone and headphone jacks, Razer includes a Y-splitter extension cable.
Platforms, 7.1 Surround and the Other BlackShark V2 X Versions
Razer lists the Razer BlackShark V2 X as compatible with PC, Mac, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck and mobile devices through its 3.5 mm connection. The 1.3 m cable is long enough to reach a controller in your lap or a desk-mounted PC.
The 7.1 surround sound needs a condition: Razer’s product page says it is only available on Windows 11, using the software activation code supplied in the box. On consoles, Mac and phones the headset plays standard stereo. Razer also sells separate BlackShark V2 X models for PlayStation, for Xbox and with USB; those are different products, and this listing is the standard 3.5 mm version.
Weight, Comfort and the Black Finish
At 240 g the Razer BlackShark V2 X is light for a full-size headset, which suits long ranked sessions. The padded headband and memory foam cushions spread that weight, and the closed design keeps game audio in and fan noise out.
Black is the colour that hides wear best. Sweat marks on the headband and dust on the cushions show far less than on the white version, which makes it the easy choice for a shared gaming room or a LAN bag. Razer also offers the headset in white, green and quartz.
Who This Is Not For
Anyone who wants wireless play: the Razer BlackShark V2 X is cable-only, with no Bluetooth and no 2.4 GHz dongle. It also has no active noise cancellation and no detachable mic, so it is not the best choice for a commuter who wants one headset for the train and the desk.
Mac and console players should not buy it for surround sound, because the 7.1 feature is Windows 11 only. And PC players whose computer has separate headphone and microphone jacks will need the included Y-splitter, since the headset ends in a single combined 3.5 mm plug.
