These split the audio driver into three distinct parts - lows, middles, and highs - and allow the Razer BlackShark V2 to have distinct audio within each frequency. The first headliner is Razer's TriForce Titanium 50mm drivers. This is because the BlackShark V2 is not just another Razer headset it's a Razer headset with brand new features we haven't seen before baked into it. Things start to get genuinely exciting when you look past the design. Microphone: Flexible boom arm, detachable, unidirectionalĬompatibility: PC, Mac, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, mobile Type: Wired (3.5mm jack + USB Sound Card) Even Razer's green makes an appearance inside the USB connection, much like with ports on Razer's Blade laptops.

The earcups have a 'detached' design to them, only being connected to the headband by a light metal frame and the necessary Razer-green cables. Because those earcups will shape to your head and the entire 'length' of the headband is padded, you're also left with a very comfortable fit that blocks out background noise by design alone. It's worth mentioning that the fabric material of the BlackShark V2 differs slightly from the leatherette on the V2 X as well, and it's definitely more comfortable as a result. The earcups are neat ovals so offer a plusher fit, and they - along with the headband - share excellent padding that is supremely comfortable to use and wear for long play sessions. There are similarities in the earcups and maybe in the overall form-factor, but otherwise, it is its own design and looks at home in 2020's gaming headset market.
