Over the probably 15 years of gaming semi-competitively I have come to use a lot of different headsets, from Razer to SteelSeries or HyperX, this is by far my favorite. The comfort of these headphones are otherworldly and I don't experience ear fatigue after going long periods of time while wearing them. I have heard complaints about the depth of the spatial audio but have never experienced anything of the sort, as I am able to track footsteps in games such as Call of Duty and Rainbow Six Siege perfectly fine. The volume slider is analog and directly controls system volume which is a huge boon for me, but may not be for everyone. The microphone on this headset is currently the best in class (as far as I've seen, heard, or experienced in a headset) and is absolutely great. My only suggestion is that you change the microphone mode to broadcast in Razer synapse, as it makes your voice sound much nicer to people you are playing with.
TLDR: Great headset, great audio, great microphone, great for gaming, great build, great comfort, great buy.

Fixes pretty much fixed all my problems with the original BlackShark V2 Pro
EDIT: I should note in the section where I mention my headset being on the latest firmware it came out of the box that way when I attempted to update the USB receiver and headset they were already on the latest firmware so perhaps the headset previously had issues and Razer fixed them with firmware and started shipping the headset that way.TL;DRPros:Excellent package experience.USBC.Bluetooth.Custom audio/mic EQs on the headset itself.70 hour battery life.The best sounding mic I’ve ever used on a gaming headset period.Cons:Still have to use Razer Synapse for tuning and firmware updates and can’t be done via mobile or Mac.No 3.5mm connection.No Xbox compatibility (though I still blame Microsoft for this).The Razer BlackShark V2 Pro (2023) really should have just been the Razer BlaclShark V3 Pro. This headset improves on the 2020 BlackShark V2 Pro in just about every way (except for one). The headset has the same great sound as the 2020 model which to my taste is okay but needs to be adjusted for a more neutral natural sound as well as being identical in design save for some swapped button placement and a sadly removed port. Also Razer’s package experience is still amazing the headset comes very nicely packed in dense plush foam so that it won’t get damaged in shipping. After that the similarities end the improvements start coming and they just don’t stop.The 2023 model finally ditches the antiquated micro-USB port for a USBC connector that alone makes the headset worth it to me personally but Razer kept going the headset now supports Bluetooth for wireless audio outside of Razer’s 2.4Ghz Hyperspeed USB connection. Allowing you to pair the device with things like your phone, TV, Tablet, Streaming boxes and so much more.Razer has also decided to allow you to save EQs and presets to the headset itself which is great for people who want to use this headset on console but would maybe like to use some of the specific esports presets or their own custom EQ.Razer also significantly improved the battery life going from 24 hours on the 2020 model to a whopping 70 hours on the 2023 model.Then there’s the mic I don’t know what wizardry Razer is pulling but between the hardware and the processing on the headset itself it is one of the best sounding mics I have ever heard on a gaming headset beating out some USB mics I’ve tested.Now I have heard some people out of the box have had issues with their headsets not saving settings or EQs and tuning not sounding right or having a static feedback when using the headset on discord but with my headset on the latest firmware I have yet to run into an software issues. I also saw one review here that claimed the headset isn’t compatible which Switch and that it (the headset) was false advertising but I can confirm docked the headset works via the 2.4 usb dongle but honestly just pair the headset via Bluetooth and then it works perfectly in docked or handheld mode.This brings me to the faults I have with the headset for better or worse you’re still beholden to Razer Synapse for tuning and adjustments and you still can’t do any of this via the mobile app which means a PC is required which is super frustrating if the out of the box sound isn’t to your liking or if you need to update the firmware and own a Mac. Razer make a Mac specific app and allow wireless updating and tuning via the mobile app it’s 2023 not everyone wants to be tethered to their PC.Secondly while this doesn’t bother me the headset should support simultaneous audio over Bluetooth and 2.4Ghz and while we’re on missing features probably my biggest gripe is the removal of the 3.5mm connection. Look I get it, in 2023 a lot of devices don’t have 3.5 anymore and I have moved on but I liked having it as an option and to see it removed is really frustrating especially when some of the competition who had skipped having a 3.5 before on their wireless offerings like Logitech are now offering a 3.5 connection and Razer isn’t. This also means unless Razer makes a specific Xbox version this headset is a no go for Xbox users without a Bluetooth adapter and then you still can’t use the mic. Though I still think Microsoft should get off their high horse and just allow USB audio like the PC (which Windows is Microsoft’s software), PlayStation and Switch do.With all that being said I loved the 2020 model and the 2023 model is no exception it fixes every gripe I had with the previous version and does it all at a great price point. It’s not perfect but what is. Either way this is my headset of choice and I will continue to use a BlackShark headset for the foreseeable future.

First off, a detachable microphone on a wireless headset is super rare nowadays. This headset was among the best Ive ever had. The microphone noise cancellation is superb. I get clear quality audio output with a Lasko Windmachine fan a foot away from the microphone on max, and no interference.
Hands down one of the the bests microphone technology for a headset on the market to date.
BUT
As seen in the images, the headset has severe structural issues. The plastic seen falling apart (or that has fallen apart) is doing so because it cannot resist the flexing headband, so its crumbling from the tension. Ive have NEVER dropped this headset. That area has never suffered an impact and I am the only one ever around the headset.
The headset cost me $200 USD, easily one of the priciest headsets on the market. And they designed it with that weak flaw and didn't look back. Now I wouldn't be so dissatisfied if this headset were modular and the parts were easily replaceable. When the first part snapped off while i was sitting still for hours i thought it was a simple fix. I bought Loctite Plastics super glue with Activator, still on the way (haven't applied it). But then suddenly today, the incident in the second image happened while I was working at my desk. It just started crumbling apart while i was sitting still for hours again.
And now the more pricey headsets have integrated microphones to make sure saving on real estate and the parts while having better looks takes priority over usefulness. And finding one including the soft cotton earpads is almost impossible. These earpads are great for all day use in any climate and easily re-sticheable. In hot climate, leather-like earpads will chaffe at the ears with long use. So i really thought I won a good pair when I used these for first six months. Not anymore. Now im looking at the Astro A50 X priced at nearly $400 USD. Here we go again... If those fail im going back to budget headsets. And use them like disposable gloves.

The headset is designed in such a way that there ends up being a lot of pressure on the hinges at the base of the headband/top of the rails that act as the adjustable slider for the main driver housing. This pressure from taking the headset on and off, even when being careful, cause the plastic housing to break and then the ear piece to become detached from the headband, making the headset unusable.
I had one set fail and did a replacement with Razer through their warranty program. While the folks at Razer were great to work with and they replaced the headset, it didn't resolve the issues outlined above. Eventually, the second headset experienced the same failure, even with me being more cautious about over extending the headset when putting it on/off. For the price, I would expect better build quality and a more robust bracket than what is present. Because of this, I am pulling 1 star off my score.
The sound quality is great. The large drivers on this give a great sound stage for a closed ear headset, with great balance between the lows, mids, and highs. The one drawback that some may find is that it doesn't get as loud as other headsets/headphones I have used in the past. This meant there were times when I was really getting into the song I was listening to and was hitting max volume.
The design also provides a lot of noise dampening. The closed ear design with the big ear cups meant that when I put these on, I would only hear very loud noises, such as lawn mowers right outside my apartment.
The comfort was perfect for me. The headset was snug without being tight for my big head. The ear cups and headband had soft padding that meant I could wear the headset for long periods without discomfort. They were so comfortable that I would occasionally forget I was wearing the headset.
The buttons and volume dial were responsive and easy to use. I never used the mic as I have a standalone mic on a boom, so I can' comment on that aspect.
The range is excellent. I could go anywhere in my apartment and still get perfect signal. It wasn't until I went to the mailboxes on my floor with the headset on that it finally lost connection. I estimate that it was good for ~40 feet through multiple walls before it gave out.
In the end, if you have an average to smaller sized head, I think this is a great headset. You do need to be careful not to torque the headset too much, but it is otherwise a home run. If you have a bigger head, then I would advise you look elsewhere as you will likely experience the same issues I did and be out ~$200.
