This headset offers a remarkable gaming audio experience with its THX 7.1 Spatial Surround Sound, specially when adjusting them with the software in PC.
Sound Quality: The THX 7.1 Spatial Surround Sound truly immerses you in your games, allowing you to pinpoint enemy movements and enjoy a rich audio environment. The 50mm drivers deliver crisp, clear sound with deep bass that enhances the overall gaming experience. Thanks to the 3.5 mm Jack they can be used in every device, but remember the USB DAC will only work on pc.
Comfort: The BlackShark V2 is incredibly comfortable, even during long gaming sessions. The plush ear cushions and the lightweight design make it easy to wear for hours on end without discomfort. Even when wearing glasses.
Detachable Mic: The detachable microphone is a great feature, offering clear voice communication in-game. When not in use, it can be conveniently removed, giving the headset a more streamlined look. The noise cancellation is amazing. My wife usually watches TV when I play and my friends say they can’t hear the background noise while we are chatting.
Build Quality: The headset feels sturdy and well-built, and it looks fantastic with its ESL Edition branding. I must say I only bought this edition because I liked the color, and they look much better in person than in the photos.
Compatibility: The fact that it's compatible with multiple gaming platforms, including the latest consoles like the PS5, makes it a versatile choice for gamers.
The only con I can think of is the lack of a chat mixer knob, but I don’t think its enough to deduct a Star.
Overall, the Razer BlackShark V2 Gaming Headset - ESL Edition is an outstanding choice for gamers who want top-notch audio quality, comfort, and style. It's a premium gaming headset that delivers on all fronts, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to enhance their gaming experience.

At least I had the option to tweak the settings because before getting the Blackshark V2 I had tried the Razer Kraken V3, and there is no fixing the audio that headset produces. Those were my second Razer product ever and my first Razer headset, I was shocked they put their name on something that shoddy. If Razer hadn't been having a sale that made their products an attractive price at the time I'd never have given their headsets the time of day ever again.
The comfort on these is fairly good, nothing extraordinary to me but I usually take meetings and listen to music through audiophile quality headphones and I often put custom earpads on them, so my standards are very high. These certainly exceed what I would normally expect from comfort in a set of headphones at this pricepoint, but I find them to be less comfortable than your average Sennheiser headphones. The cups are a bit more shallow with the default cups and rest closer to my ear than I would like. Replacement pads are at the top of my shopping list for these, though I do like the breathable jersey material on the outside of them.
The audio quality is acceptable. I honestly haven't even considered using these to listen to music or play games, and in meetings I have much lower expectations for the audio quality others bring to the table than I do for myself. But at no point has the audio quality jumped out to me as being bad. I ran a quick 3 track audio test just now and they're very bright sounding, which is to say these seem better tuned to produce higher frequencies than lower ones. They don't spark joy in my inner audiophile, but they're not bad either. This is acceptable audio. A sound that I think most people will find agreeable unless they're especially bass hungry. For those of you who are Dankpods fans I can offer an excellent frame of reference, you can barely hear the bongo player going off in Earth, Wind, & Fire's "September" with these.
One notable feature that I've not encountered before (because I have gone out of my way to avoid using headsets) but really appreciated is the sidetone. I don't like closed back headphones and stick to open backs unless I'm listening to music in a public place. And I REALLY hate talking with closed backs headphones because I can't hear myself and I feel like I'm yelling. The sidetone option these offer takes in and plays ambient noise back to me so that I can hear myself and the world around me in real time. It may seem like a silly thing to want but for those of you who feel the same as myself I can promise this is a LOVELY feature to have.
Pros:
-Great sound! Competes with and honestly sounds better than the Arctis 7 (2019) headset
-SUPER COMFORTABLE! These are so light there would be times I'd forget I was wearing them and try to walk off from my computer
-My ears don't get very hot wearing these for long periods of gaming
-Wearing these with glasses is still super comfortable, even for long periods of time
-Again, the comfort on these is great! My Arctis 7 will cause a slight discomfort on top of my head and these felt great the whole time
Cons:
-The amount of software that gets thrown at you during the initial install is pretty crazy. A lot of it is useless unless you want to control multiple Razer products, but I don't have any besides the headset
-Mic quality is pretty poor. It keeps cutting in and out if I talk too fast and sounds muffled
-The headset keeps trying to switch between different playback devices (Speakers and THX Spatial Audio Speakers) which means I have to manually change it back to the proper one for sound to work
-The EQ that came with the Razer Synapse program doesn't seem to do much. Also, enabling THX Spatial Audio causes the headset to sound like garbage. Apparently this is a known issue to Razer but it just hasn't been fixed from what I read
Overall if you're willing to deal with a short USB cable and some potential issues getting the headset to work properly it's worth the money. Just invest into an external mic because this one isn't great.

My previous headphone were having major issues with the mic and the leather was peeling off the pads. The USB sound card on the Razer is programmable and no static is heard in meetings. My son says it is great for his online gaming. The over ear cups are a bit small for my ears but it is so light it doesn't cause any discomfort after wearing all day. The material is very breathable and soft. It is noise cancelling so I love just wearing it with no music just to concentrate while working.
