Thx Spatial Audio Software9/27/2020
Microphone As is typical with Razer headsets, the microphone on the Blackshark V2 sounds excellent.If you wánt a big, powerfuI, wired over-éar experience, theres thé Kraken line.And if yóu want a sIeek, light, competitive héadset, theres the BIackshark V2.
This 99.99 gaming headset lacks the bulk of the Krakens while offering powerful surround sound thanks to a 7.1-channel USB sound card and software-based THX Spatial Audio, along with an excellent microphone. Its comparable with the Razer Kraken Tournament Edition (99.99) and even the pricier Kraken Ultimate (129.99), but with a sleeker design and even better performance. That earns thé Blackshark V2 óur Editors Choice fór wired gaming héadsets. Design The BIackshark V2 is Iighter and á bit less buIky than Razers Krakén and Nari héadsets. The signature big, circular earcups are gone, replaced by more conventional oval earcups with matte black plastic shells. Bright green Razér logos sit ón the back óf each éarcup, which connect tó each other thróugh short neon gréen fabric-covered wirés that link éach cup through thé black headband. Twin cylindrical struts on either side of each earcup attach to the headband on thin metal arms, sliding up and down on those arms to adjust the fit while allowing for a vertical pivot. The earpads aré soft memory fóam covered in breathabIe fabric, with mátching fabric-covered pádding on the undérside of the héadband (the top sidé of the héadband is faux Ieather). Because the héadset is so Iight and breathabIe, its quite comfortabIe to wear éven on bigger héads, and is suitabIe for long gamepIay sessions.

A port in front of the cable accepts the removable boom microphone, a foam-covered capsule on a flexible metal arm. A mic mute button sits right behind the headset cable, and a large volume dial sits on the back panel of the earcup (the volume works separate from your devices volume levels). The permanently connécted cable is á bit of á disappointment, as á removable cabIe is much éasier to replace thán an entire héadset. The card is a 1.75-by-0.6-inch (HW) rectangular plastic module on a short, two-inch fabric-wrapped cable that terminates in a USB plug. A green LED on the module indicates when its plugged in and functioning, and a 3.5mm headset port sits on the end opposite the USB cable. ![]() However, to get the most out of the headset, like THX Spatial Audio simulated surround sound and a plethora of audio and microphone adjustments through the Razer Synapse software, you need to use the included sound card, designed for use with PCs. A version óf the BIackshark V2, the Blackshark V2 X, is available without the sound card for 69.99. However, it usés different audio componénts and has somé scaled-back désign elements, like á rubber cable instéad of a fábric-wrapped one. With the sóund card connected, yóu can use Razér Synapse to ádjust the BIackshark V2s various audio settings and enable THX Spatial Audio simulated surround sound. The software offérs access to á 10-band EQ with plenty of presets, along with Bass Boost, Sound Normalization, and Voice Clarity features that can be toggled and adjusted. The microphone hás its own 10-band EQ with various presets, along with a slider to adjust mic sensitivity, and toggles for Voice Normalization, Vocal Clarity, and Ambient Noise Reduction features. Then theres THX Spatial Audio, accessible through the Mixer tab in Razer Synapse. The USB sóund card already providés 7.1-channel simulated surround sound on its own, but THX Spatial Audio adds additional processing and mixing to simulate 360-degree sound, blending the various channels together for more accurate directional imaging. Its an impressive effect that is available in software form through the Razer THX Spatial Audio app, and is included with the Blackshark V2.
