   For what it costs, I had relatively low expectations of this headset. I came from a Corsair Virtuoso SE wireless headset that had a great mic and very good sound, but the connection with my PS4 was never very solid and I would notice relatively frequent dropouts in audio. Friends with PS4s swore by using the 3.5mm jack on the controller and I decided to use this to test.

   Build Quality

   When you pick up the headset the first thing you notice is just how light it is. It feels somewhat solid, but also it’s clear that this is not a headset that prioritized premium materials. It’s also extremely comfortable because of how light it is. Although I’ve never had issues with heavier headsets and neck pain, if that is a consideration the light materials should be great for long term sessions.

   The pads are faux leather on the interior ring and exterior ring. The part that rests against your head feels like something a little more breathable. I don’t think I will have any issues wearing these for long sessions. The clamping force is a good moderate level where they won’t fall off accidentally, but I don’t feel like I am in a death grip.

   Mic Quality

   I made some calls using the mic and, I believe this to be a great compliment to the quality of the mic, no one thought I was on a headset. “It’s like you were actually talking through your phone.” Although they have a gamer vibe, I could definitely see using these on conference calls (as long as the video was off.) Basically, the mic is great.

   Audio Quality

   Here’s where I was expecting things to fall apart, but they really didn’t. I decided to make a completely unfair comparison between these and my pair of Sennheiser HD600s run off of an AudioQuest DragonFly Black DAC/AMP. There was clearly no contest between the two headphones in terms of vocals or detail retrieval, but the Razer wasn’t a bad headphone by any means. It had a clear and present bass, without being muddy. I do feel like the Corsair Virtuoso had a more full sound, but the spotty connection ruined it.

   Gaming tends to be, I think, more forgiving than listening to music … so I ran through a couple of games as a test. I tried a game that I feel focuses on background music (Unravel), which sounded great. I also tried something with more exploding (Borderlands 3) and the headset felt equally competent.

   Flaws (But Not Deal Breakers)

   The volume knob goes the opposite of the way my mind treats every other volume knob in my life. Clockwise turns the sound down?! WHY?!

   I would have loved an LED to remind me that I’m muted. My first attempted call failed because the mute was engaged.

   Conclusion

   The Razer Blackshark V2 X might have a terrible name, but it’s an amazing product at the price point. I don’t play as many games online as I used to and I listen to a lot more music. For me, it makes sense to have a great pair of headphones for music and solo play as well as a cheap headset for online play with friends and conference calls. This works for me.

   Baratos, llegó a tiempo y sonido increíble, se siente de un material muy resistente, buenas alfombras y buen colchón de la diadema
   Había escuchado reseñas de que no se escuchaba cuando se hacían llamadas por Xbox, pero a mi sí me sirvió, ahora me escucho mejor con ese micrófono de los audífonos

   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.

   Great quality, have had these for several months now and they’re still like new. I use this for music and occasionally gaming, it has very good sound. The wire on the headphone part may look removable but I highly doubt it is — I’m not keen on testing that only to ruin my only pair of headphones. I keep it in the black drawstring bag with the foam microphone covering when not in use and I’d say it’s helping keep the product from minor wear or damage or dust. My friends say the mic quality is very clear when I’m on call with them. It’s just too bad that most phones and tablets don’t have headphone jacks anymore.
   Design is clean and sleek. Size is perfect for my little head and very comfortable for long hours of use, as long as I’m not laying down with them. I think I’ve worn it up to 6 hours one time before it got a little uncomfortable, but I was gaming kind of intensely in the last 2 hours so not sure if it’s the headphones fault lol

   Llevo unas semanas usandolos, me encanta la perilla para subir y bajar el volumen es más cómodo que pulsar audífonos en otros modelos, y el micrófono es estupendo no e tenido un cuidado especial y sigue funcionando bien, exelente producto
