What reviewers say
Tom’s Hardware reviews the Razer BlackShark V2 X as a very light and comfortable headset that delivers solid sound with its 50‑mm drivers, but notes that its design feels fragile and cheaply constructed. The review highlights the lack of a USB adapter for software integration as a drawback while praising its lightweight build, cushioned earpieces, and decent noise cancellation.

The review praises the BlackShark V2 X for its lightweight design, comfortable fit, breathable ear‑cushion material, and balanced audio signature that feels natural and pure. The author highlights the headset’s affordability at $59 as a major win in the sub‑$60 market, noting it outperforms cheaper rivals like the Razer Kraken X. While acknowledging some build‑quality quirks—such as hollow ear cups and a slightly stiff headband rail—the reviewer ultimately finds these issues minor compared to the overall comfort and sound quality. The V2 X’s lack of a USB sound card is mentioned, but the headset still delivers solid performance for its price point.

It lacks companion software, has inconsistent bass/treble, and offers limited controls, but remains comfortable and stable for long sessions.

Our take
Based on 3 reviews
All three reviews agree the Razer BlackShark V2 X is lightweight, comfortable, and delivers solid audio. Tom’s Hardware, Hardware Canucks, and RTINGS note its 50-mm drivers provide clear sound, while Hardware Canucks and RTINGS highlight its comfortable fit for long sessions. The headset’s passive noise cancellation and balanced audio signature are also praised.
However, reviewers disagree on build quality: Tom’s Hardware calls it fragile, while Hardware Canucks finds minor quirks acceptable. All note the lack of a USB adapter and software, limiting features. Buyers seeking comfort and audio clarity should consider it, but those wanting premium build or software integration should look elsewhere.

- Solid audio with 50-mm drivers
- Effective passive noise cancellation
- Clear boom microphone
Cons
- Fragile build quality per Tom's Hardware
