Does it work on PC and PlayStation as well as Xbox?

Yes. The 3.5 mm jack plugs into the Xbox controller, PC, PlayStation and Switch. On PC the Razer Synapse app adds EQ and mic settings; on consoles you get the headset's default tuning.

Is the microphone detachable?

Yes. The HyperClear Cardioid boom mic pulls out, so the headset can be used as plain headphones.

Does it have surround sound?

No. It is stereo only. On PC you can enable Razer's 7.1 surround through the Synapse software; consoles get stereo.

How does it compare with the Kraken V3 X?

Both are wired budget headsets. The BlackShark V2 X has the better mic and stronger isolation; the Kraken V3 X is heavier and adds RGB lighting.

Is it worth it over the plain BlackShark V2 X?

The Xbox-licensed version is the same headset with official Xbox branding. Pick it if you play on Xbox; otherwise the standard version is equivalent.

Our take on the Razer BlackShark V2 X (Xbox Licensed) - Wired Esports Headset - Quartz

The Razer BlackShark V2 X is a wired over-ear esports headset, officially licensed for Xbox and also usable on PC, PlayStation and Switch through its 3.5 mm connection. It uses Razer's TriForce 50 mm drivers and the HyperClear Cardioid mic, and its closed earcups are built to block room noise. It is a light, no-frills pick for competitive console play; rivals at the same level add wireless or surround processing, but few match its mic and isolation for the money.
