Product Information

Full details

The Razer BlackShark V2 X is a lightweight, wired gaming headset designed for competitive console and PC gamers who need clear communication and immersive audio without a premium price tag. It features high-quality TriForce 50mm drivers and a noise-canceling microphone to help maintain focus in intense gaming sessions. One notable caveat is that as a wired-only device, you will need to manage the 1.3m cable during your gaming sessions, which may limit mobility compared to wireless alternatives.

FAQs

Is the microphone detachable?

No, the microphone is built-in and utilizes a bendable boom design, but it is not intended to be removed.

Does this headset require software?

The headset is plug-and-play and does not require proprietary software to function, though you may use console-based sound settings like Windows Sonic for surround effects.

Can I use this headset with my phone?

Yes, as long as your phone has a 3.5mm audio jack or you are using a compatible 3.5mm to USB-C/Lightning adapter.

How long is the cable?

The included cable is 1.3 meters long, which is ideal for controller-based gaming.

Does it have active noise cancellation?

No, it features advanced passive noise cancellation provided by the physical seal of the earcups against your head.

Troubleshooting

No sound coming from the headset

Ensure the 3.5mm plug is fully inserted into the device port and check that the device volume is not muted in system settings.

Microphone not picking up voice

Check that the physical mute switch on the ear cup is in the 'unmute' position and ensure the microphone is selected as the input device in your game settings.

Audio sounds distorted or 'tinny'

Verify that the 3.5mm cable is not kinked or frayed and ensure it is firmly connected to the source device.
