Razer Blackshark V2 Pro

The Razer BlackShark V2 Pro takes everything good about the BlackShark V2 and cuts the cord. Synapse software means you can tweak the sound just how you like it, and the 2.4 GHz wireless connection lets you walk away from your game while still jamming to the soundtrack. This understated headset puts in the work, but non-premium materials could hamstring it in terms of the competition.

The Razer BlackShark V2 Pro takes the BlackShark V2's excellent performance and makes it wireless, for a hefty premium.

The BlackShark V2 Pro is an exceptional wireless gaming headset matching its luxurious price point. The build caliber, sound quality and battery life are all praiseworthy despite some small issues. THX Spatial Audio enhances the audio experience significantly, becoming a huge feature. Too bad the required app adds even more to the cost and isn’t readily compatible with major devices.

This is an excellent headset from Razer, one that ticks every major box - although we think it's perhaps a little pricey compared to some of the competition.
