Our take on the Razer BlackShark v2 X Wired Headset
The Razer BlackShark V2 X is a wired over-ear gaming headset built around Razer's TriForce 50 mm drivers and a detachable Razer HyperClear Cardioid Mic. It is light, uses a 3.5 mm connection, and works with PC, consoles and mobile devices with a headphone jack. It sits below the BlackShark V2 and V2 Pro: it keeps the driver tuning and mic boom but drops the USB sound card, THX Spatial Audio and the metal frame. It suits players who want a light, simple wired headset and do not need surround processing or wireless.
- Very light for an over-ear gaming headset
- TriForce 50 mm drivers give clear positional cues
- Detachable cardioid boom mic
- 3.5 mm jack works with PC, PlayStation, Xbox and Switch
- Closed earcups block some room noise

Questions and answers
- How does the BlackShark V2 X differ from the BlackShark V2?
- The V2 X keeps the TriForce 50 mm drivers and detachable mic but uses a plastic frame and a plain 3.5 mm connection. The V2 adds a USB sound card, THX Spatial Audio and a metal frame.
- Does it work with consoles?
- Yes. The 3.5 mm plug works with PlayStation, Xbox, Switch and PC, plus phones and tablets with a headphone jack. On Xbox, chat may need a controller adapter.
- Is the microphone detachable?
- Yes. The Razer HyperClear Cardioid Mic plugs into the left earcup and can be removed for music or travel.
- Does it have surround sound?
- Not built in. It is a stereo headset; spatial audio depends on your platform or software, not the headset itself.
- Is it worth it over cheaper headsets?
- It offers Razer's driver tuning and a detachable mic at an entry level. If you want a metal frame or USB surround, the step-up BlackShark models are the better fit.
