Razer Blackshark V2 X

The Razer Blackshark V2 X is very light, which is great for long hours of play, and the new 50mm drivers pump solid sound. Unfortunately, the design feels fragile.

The Razer BlackShark V2 X are decent for wired gaming. These comfortable over-ears have full wired compatibility with PC, PS4, and Xbox One. While they have inconsistent bass and treble delivery, their average response is a bit bass-heavy and dark, which can be suited for action-packed games with a lot of explosions. Their boom microphone performs excellently, so your voice is heard clearly, even in loud environments.
