Razer BlackShark V2 X Xbox Gaming Headset

No BS review: Don't be fooled by the Razer marketing. Bottom line I would say buy these on Sale only. If money is nothing and cheap is your thing, $36.89 ok? For me who has to pinch every penny in search of quality, this is TOO much money for how cheap these are across the board. No exaggeration. I'm critical for high standards. Unfortunately Most headsets are like this online: Trash being sold in a minefield of useless overseas products. My complaints for the detail oriented: Audio/Music sounds: ⭐️⭐️☆☆☆ ( Passable: at two Stars. I've had better. Sound is FLAT across bass and tribble. Sounds like it was equalized to give the impression of bass. Not inspiring! Could suffice to Raise the volume On left side is a black protruding rotary volume knob. ( volume is rather Low, even with OS and device values maxed). Electronics: ⭐️☆☆☆☆ ( The only clear thing about this device, it gives a distinct impression of cheap internals; Not able to generate quality audio. But for basic use cases, this is "tolerable". Outer construction: ⭐️⭐️⭐️☆☆ Heavy: Which is a bad thing. ( The shell is solid plastic overall out the box. Will that last? I would gather, that Most of the costs of this device is in the construction. Not-Electronics. Nothing to complain about (at the moment). The "soft" cushion will fade. Covered by flimsy synthetic material. It has thin "metal" bars that rest in plastic cylinders affixed to the sides of the plastic Shell used to extend. Again this is needlessly Heavy does Not equal quality with headphones!) Comfort: ⭐️☆☆☆☆ Too heavy. ( Awful and bad in my experience: It gives a false impression of comfort when first placed on. My head is slightly dented medium, not big nor small. However I needed to risk forcibly bending the top inner metal(?) band between which clamps around sides of head and ears with much force causing ear pain in short time. It is very Heavy for headphones: There is too much weight to materials used. With added weight wearing for a long time will cause discomfort in anyone. You'll often take them off for relief.) It gets better over time; but Only by a small margin. With so much weight, its certainly Not concentrated in quality. Very uncomfortable. Noise isolation: ⭐️⭐️☆☆☆ (The fit makes loose seal around the ear specially after needing to bend it for comfort. The plastic and cheap padding gives at least 30-45% noise isolation from outside. If the materials were quality it would be better. But nothing really to complain about unless you want better isolation.) Microphone: ⭐️⭐️⭐️☆☆ Listening to myself in Recording-Properties menu: Mic sounds so-so, can raise volume to be meme levels. Can pick up little sounds like mouth-noises and breathing easily. However its not clear enough for voice to text software to distinguish words easily. It's boom material is not very long, not extendable, is-bendable for adjusting slightly closer or away. Over time I can see it breaking if often touched. There is a small button left shell back: pressing this button to the IN position turns it Off. When its out, it means its on? Conclusion: Its Lacking at $36.89 ! I'd be hesitant to buy this ever again. It feels more like a $15 dollar item. With $36 representing spirit crushing Inflation. And mismanagement in manufacturing priorities. If you want a audio jack headset ( or usb option ) and you were just on this page, I'd say meh okay? However know the Audio Wont wake you! Microphone is "adequate" for talking to friends or people online. If you don't have working Bluetooth; then this is a option IF you have to working Audio-Jacks or USB port. ( Note: for the audio-jack option: the wire for this came with a extension line. So a jack that goes into another jack extension so it can reach a desktop/Laptop PC. Without that extension included, this would've Not reached my pc. . . Bottom line: I'd say just buy it on a very steep discount. Never more than $30. Or shop around. It gets the job done for the Moment.. If you continue your search, See reviews that are more emphatic about audio quality ,and very lightweight over a prolonged wear time. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ → "Acceptable" ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆ → "Decent" ⭐️⭐️⭐️☆☆ → "Passable" ⭐️⭐️☆☆☆ → "Lacking" ⭐️☆☆☆☆ → "Subpar" ☆☆☆☆☆ → "Worthless"
