"Works Well"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Looked into a few headphones on the cheaper side and did some research until these ones stood out as the best option. Mute button works well, comfortable fit on head as its adjustable, and everything sound wise is pretty nice. I didn't think the non detachable microphone would get in the way as much as it does sometimes but you can put it up out of the way so its less annoying. All round pretty solid pair of headphones for a decent price, nicely packaged too :)

"Light and nioce"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

It's a light comfortable headphones that fully cover your ear, with breathing room and the mic feels easy and sturdy to move around. Also you can't connect it to razer synapse only the USB version can. But you do get the 7.1 surround sound which is very nice but that's all the coustimuzing you'll get still recommend

"Phenomenal!"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Lightweight and comfortable on the ears and the head. The sound is immersive with video games, goes fantastic with music. The microphone is very clear and barely picks up any background sound, great for communication.

"Cable is a pain in the ass."
3 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

After about 7 months of use I can confidently say that the microphone, audio, and the comfortability is great.

But even after a month most of the cable completely coiled and wound itself up leading it to constantly pull downwards on the left side, most of the cable is just wound up into a condensed coiled up ball, and no matter how many times I try and unwind it it just kinks itself back to an annoying ball.

After about 7 months of constantly tugging on the cable to try and stop it from dragging it completely stopped working in the left ear. Would've been a great headset if it werent for this very annoying downside.

"It's okay for the price"
3 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

The microphone doesn't have much bass to it. But it otherwise works fine. The audio is good for the price. I found voice chat was a little muddy but in-game sound is fine. I just purchased this to try another brand but I'm going back to Sennheiser now.

"Great sound quality"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

The headset has surround sound has great sound quality and overall is great. The only issue I have with it is the microphone as it’s not detectable and you can’t flip it away so it’s always there unlike a hyperx.

"Sound cuts in and out"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Headset is great and worth it if the sound did not start cutting in and out I have had them for a long time but for this price I don't like how it started cutting in and out I have cheaper headphone that have last at least 3 years with out cutting out not 1.

"Mic Cuts out"

Mic cuts in and out, so annoying.

"Great Headset"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Despite being the cheaper model of the Razer Blackshark V2 series. It still works incredibly well even after 8 months of usage. The microphone is clear, the sound quality is amazing and a very good headset overall.

"Good headset, let down by cable splitter"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

It seems like a good headset. It's quite comfortable and the audio sounded fine to my ears. However, I was unable to use the included cable splitter to get the microphone to work. It was extremely quiet and I could not boost it loud enough using any combination of settings on my PC without making the sound quality terrible.

I tried it on a laptop that has a unified audio + mic jack point and the mic seemed to work fine there, so if that's how you will use it then these headphones are probably fine.
